I am a Christian probably because that's how I've been brought up and that's what feels right to me.
I am a scholar of comparative religion so I have looked at many other religions in some detail, but personally, Christianity has always made most sense. To me, it feels like home. Maybe that is God's presence, or maybe that's just me relying on what I know.
I like the analogy of the leaky shacks:
In a rainstorm people are huddled in groups in different shacks. Your shack is leaky and has some holes and lets some rain through. You think that maybe some of the other shacks will be more secure, but then again they might be even more leaky than yours! They are too far away for you to tell if they are better or worse, you'd have to run over and try the other options to find out!
Maybe it's wrong for me to not be willing to step out and try something new, but I've done some research, and Christianity makes sense to me, and like I said, it feels like home, so here we are.
