“If You Were Born in India, You'd Be Hindu” — John Lennox Responds
The Christian Take

Would you still be a Christian if you had been born in another country, another culture, or another religious family?
It's one of the most challenging objections to religious belief: perhaps what we believe about God has less to do with truth and more to do with where we happened to be born.
In this conversation, neuroscientist Peter Ulric Tse brings that challenge directly to Christian mathematician John Lennox, arguing that if Lennox had been born in rural India, he might have been just as convinced that Hinduism was true.
But does explaining where a belief came from actually tell us whether that belief is true?
In this episode, The Christian Take examines that question, Lennox's response, and why Christianity ultimately rests its case on claims about Jesus Christ that it says happened in history.

Portuguese . I was raised an American in an atheist family .
At 28 I was living the life , job , surf ,women , living in Hawaii and blowing it using drugs and alcohol .
Whole package . Double life .
Living in the North Shore flooded with cocaine . Gangsters prevalent . So many dropping like flies in the 80s . I needed to find out if Gods real . So I didn’t start with going to a church . I learned how to read and understand the Bible .
I found out God exist and is why we exist . I had a reality experience late at night in my driveway upon asking God for proof a few days prior . Talking about the hair on my arms standing up .
If you fight against God you will lose . Be saved and believe in
Lord Jesus . Genesis 1 .
And beware of false teachers
for there are many now . 2026 .
Lord Jesus warned us about wolves in sheep’s clothing .
You can’t buy salvation . It’s free .
Lord Jesus paid the price for us .
Peace and may GOD Bless !
🙏🏼💙 .
John 3:16 .
I do not think where you are born defines the belief system you will end up with unless you are a lazy person who does not wish to think for yourself. If you are lazy in thinking, then you will follow just about any system of belief that requires the least amount of work, and this is true for all people.
Regardless, I believe Gods grace runs much deeper than many Christians think.
