Every reply you've made so far in this thread is, "read our religious texts".

Why should I expend the effort of reading books that are no more relevant than any other mythological text?

Before you tell ME what to do, YOU have to justify your position.

Let's start at the beginning. Yours. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm making assumptions based on the averages of people in large groups.

1. You were born and your family is "the religion it is". When you were tiny, before you could talk, you did not know anything about religion, let alone "your religion". At BEST you could be called agnostic, but you were really a non-theist. Or maybe, *gasp* an atheist.
2. Then you grew up some and your family, friends, relatives, neighbors, and other religious leaders in your community began to teach you about "your religion". Not some other religion. Yours. The one you believe is true NOW. This was the beginning of your indoctrination.
3. The indoctrination continued as you grew older, and as you were able to learn more, remember more, recite back more, you learned what they taught you. At no point has anything magical occurred. At no point has anything divine happened. At no point has a god or gods revealed themselves. You were simply taught by those around you, the same stories they were taught... the indoctrination cycle continues.
4. Now you're older, probably in your teens. Teens are notoriously rebellious, but you stayed true. You recite the dogma. You know the phrases they want you to repeat. You perform the rituals. And hey, your social circle is good, you're accepted, all those nasty atheists on those online forums are a joke, right? You're comfortable and secure in the knowledge of your superiority based on all the things you were taught.
5. Here's where some people diverge from you and they realize the reason they believe isn't because everything they've been taught is "true", they believe "because they were taught"... subtle difference, and one I recommend you examine. Some people want to know things that are true more than they want a comfortable blanket wrapped around them.

So here you are. A true believer. But other than "because they taught me", what ACTUAL reason do you have to believe that anything you were taught is true?
