In other words, if I accept your notion that the universe must have had a creator, why couldn't it have been Thor or Ba'al? Even if I accept that prayer works, why must it be Yahweh answering them and not Allah or The Flying Spaghetti Monster?"
Every time I ask any version of these questions I get either radio silence or a quick, sudden change of the topic. Because of my many failed attempts at asking these questions in real life, I decided to ask these questions here.
None of the other gods have called me, the God of creation did, I answered and found Him to be real and true to what He has said. It's amazing how quite the other gods are, you would believe they would want to steal followers if they were real, you know offering more than the others.

strange. I did not hear this god and I really tried. I tried from 7 years old to 14 years old. I got nothing but then i tried a nature based worship and ...wow something happened. I wont go into the details but eventualy i began to realize that these connections to reality are possible for any human that tries and has the right set of circumstanses. Those moments of connection to everything can be achieved and felt in about any religion (not sure about the Aztec since i cant sacrifice a lot of people.)
this to me personaly invalidates any "one true faith" that is based on someone elses book of stuff.
"don't masterbate! but gawd... i like to masterbate.."
If you or anyone else chooses to live with guilt over being human then so be it but be assured chirstianiy or any other faith is/are not the one true way. How many different ways are there? What's the population of the planet. That's how many.
your god your Jesus your allah your shiva you buhda (although at least buhda would agree) is YOU, nothing more and nothing less.
