Well done. I would hope that Aziz would never, ever need Murdoch. cbayer Jan 2015 #3

Anybody can choose to become a Christian, but you cannot be born one. braddy Jan 2015 #14

I agree... MellowDem Jan 2015 #27

I don't know what "the privilege of religion" means, or what it meant in regards to your post. braddy Jan 2015 #31

It means religion gets advantages and special rights... MellowDem Jan 2015 #32

I still don't get how that relates to someone not being able to be born a Christian? braddy Jan 2015 #33

It relates to the phrase... MellowDem Jan 2015 #34

One is "born human" JDDavis Jan 2015 #12

Whatever floats your boat, dude. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #30
