RE: What is my fault that i born in a different environment?
Great post... and a great ode to empathy. I had a similar dialogue with my religion teacher in 5th grade when he told our class that only Muslims go to heaven. I asked "but what about the Christian side of my family?" and he said they would have to convert... but I knew that my church-going grandmother was a living saint, so what difference did it make what name she called her god? God or Allah?
That lesson didn't teach me that I needed to convert my Christian family members but rather, that I shouldn't leave my own beliefs in the hands of a random teacher who himself knows nothing.
We must respect other people's beliefs. Anyway for me, the most important thing is that you be a good person, and only god can judge a person's heart. people should keep their religious beliefs to their own private space.
