Of all the hundreds of religions, why do you have faith in yours? Why not faith in the Bible, the Torah, the Quran, or buddhist writings? What makes YOUR religion more valid?

This reminds of a story I heard about a radio show. The show was having a discussion about religion and had invited a priest, a rabbi and an imam to talk about their beliefs. They made the mistake of letting the rabbi speak first.

Presenter: What do you think is the main difference between your respective faiths?

Rabbi: Oh it's perfectly simple really, they worship God in their way, and I worship God in His

Do you realize that everyone says that about their god? The ancient greeks said that about their gods, the Scandanavian people said that about what we now call Norse Mythology and all the religions that are dead/alive. They all say the same exact thing, that THEY believe in the true god(s).
