There's also Christians who later (in adulthood) converted to Islam. And others who converted to Judaism. How can you be so certain that those people were 'led astray' and that it's not you that's been led astray?
Islam and Judaism and pretty much all religions have the same feelings about their religion as you do about yours. What makes yours any more right than theirs? What claim do you have that they don't? You don't have one.
Do you really think that an all powerful being such as god would care about which religious textbook you follow? Why does he need worship? And why does he need faith? Surely if the Christian God existed, and expects us to follow the bible as written by fallible men, he'd come down here and tell us himself. And don't give me that free will bullshit, because Adam and Eve were capable of having free will while having god spoken to them directly. As did Cain and Abel. In fact Cain slew Abel after having spoken to god directly.
I mean for fucks sake... if the other religions are false, then men had to have tampered with them. Or else the Devil. What stops the same from being said about your religion?
Picking the 'right religion' would be equal to this:
A teacher holds out a series of 10 balls. Each are a different color, but are in many ways similar. Some people have parents who from a young age teach them that green is the right color, while others are taught blue is the right color, and others say red, and so forth. You then have to pick a ball before the last day of class (which you have no idea when that is). If you picked the right color, the teacher takes you out for a pizza and ice cream party. If you picked the wrong color, the teacher sets you on fire.
Your religion is full of so many holes, and yet you claim to have no doubts. Sounds like you've been well indoctrinated by a church who thrives on people not asking questions.
