Millions of Muslims and millions of Christians are so certain that their religion is the one true religion that they are happy to die for it; but certainty of that magnitude never comes from a honest intellectual inquiry, it comes because mommy and daddy told them so. > Blind following of parental faith is condemned in the Quran. > I don't think so. The Quran says that anyone who changes their religion from Islam to some slightly different form of idiocy such as Christianity should be put to death regardless of if they did so because of " honest intellectual inquiry and search" or not.
