Geography

This is for the New York Yankees fan born in Boston,

For the devout Muslim raised in Alabama,

For the Jew praying in India,

For those whose beliefs are not simply an echo of their parents and geography -

This is for those who have searched for themselves and came up with answers.

What are your thoughts? Are you but a product of a time and place in which you were born? If you were born in a rural village in China and raised Budhist and read the Bible, would you be just as certain it was authentic as you are when it's read to you in Sunday school?
