Why did you settle on "the Christian god" and not for example; Aakuluujjusi (Inuit), Aditi (hindu), both creator gods, or Ame-No-Minaka-Nushi-No-Kami (Japan/ Shinto), Ahura Mazda (Persia) both supreme gods. With over 5000 gods to chose from, why did you pick on that one?

I gathered that when you said "Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit", my question was why you picked that particular god. I am not judging your choice, just curious why you picked that one over the other 5000+ available gods.
I am not Inuit, Hindu, Japanese/Shinto, or Persian, thus I have not been exposed to those gods. I have, however, studied the Bible and believe it to be the inerrant Word of God.
Your saying your religion is based on your race, I assume you are not racist and that it is more likely that you mean it was the environment you grew up in?
You are correct in assuming that I am not racist. I was simply pointing out that as I was not exposed to the teachings of the gods you listed, but have studied the Bible and believe it to be the Word of God. My beliefs are based on what I have studied and hold to be true.
Thank you, by the way, for being civil in your correspondence.
What I was trying to point out is that your location and time on earth had more influence on the choice of your religion then you making a comparison study of the different religions and choosing the one for you. I am not suggesting that you did not pick the right one or that you did not do the comparison.

I beleive in search engines. Use the one at the top right of the page, and you won't be asking the same questions over and over.

My faith is based on the teachings of the Bible, thus believing in the Triune God.

There is no need to thank me.
I did not choose, but was chosen by the right one-no need to compare.
Fair enough.
