I had a profound, long overdue conversation with a friend last night that I hadn't talked with in a long time. It was quite pleasurable for me because we ended talking about theology, philosophy, and science. As we talked, we came to a conclusion about humanity. We discussed three significant factors that make up who anyone is today i.e. environment, upbringing, and the consequences for choices/actions. The truth is this is undeniable. Many people hold to different beliefs and knowledge but are reluctant to ask the big questions. For example, "Why do I believe what I believe?" "If I was born, raised, and lived in a Muslim country, would I be a Muslim?" "Why is Jesus Christ my God? The fact is that we are a product of our culture. One of my greatest passions is to seek out truth being open-minded and looking forward to a refutation or challenge to a position or ideology I hold to. Truth, although sometimes painful and controversial, is liberating. This was the case for me quite recently. Be a truth seeker and speaker and change the world!
