" A person can't be 'told' to have faith."
Sure they can. It happens all the time; in fact it is the primary way that most religions are spread, including Christianity. That's why most people in the USA grow up being Christian instead of Hindu. They were told what to believe when they were little and most still believe it when they are adults.
"You can try it, but forced or coerced faith is no faith at all."
It's not necessarily coerced, it's more like unquestioned.
"As to its reasons, they aren't as important as the fact of actually having that faith."
So blind faith is better then reasoned skepticism. I think I understand...
" But using same said mind to come to a conclusion that He's just a fairy tale isn't going to fly come judgment day."
In other words, the minds He gave us are defective. Too bad we didn't get a better version, like Mind.3
"That's a gross misuse of what you were given, and He's not going to reward anyone for that."
That cuts both ways.
But it is fact that most people share the faith of their parents and if not their parents then their peers. Most people in the world don't have the same innate opportunity to be members of the One True Faith that is yours.
God does not punish us just for using our minds. If he didn't want us to have one, we wouldn't have it. But using same said mind to come to a conclusion that He's just a fairy tale isn't going to fly come judgment day. That's a gross misuse of what you were given, and He's not going to reward anyone for that.
Er, so in fact the first sentence in that paragraph was false. God certainly will punish us for using our minds unless we come to the correct conclusion (and the overwhelming majority of those who have ever lived have no chance, culturally, of coming to that conclusion). Nice guy.
Are you sure you're not confusing God with the Army?
