As in future generations having hell is consequence for not screwing up next generations... no other religions has that as in "putting faith in that one religion" zoroastrianism i think introduced heaven and hell, but not authority over it.
No other gods has done that "except Islam" but i don't believe in death penalty for being a whore. So i count values on forgiveness than judgement on earth, so by that default i pick Christianity. But i am not into fundamentalist form of it. I believe in creating better environment and letting people come to Jesus or do mistakes and try to repent from it if they hit bottom, but my main priorities would try to effect better environments of a place.
Though i am a homophobe by definition, not saying as any individual that you are immorale if you like men. But the environment same as porn creates somewhat weird perversion, suddently you like blood, cannibalism and often killers and murderers. So in that definition i think gay environment is dangerous to society of people who are weird and essentially becomes sick by nature. Not good for the mind. Humans have this philosophy better adapted than animals, so being homophobe is quite natural for humans in the same way we won't think its good to eat poop like animals does. We are pretty hefty that way.
Just because you can point out some differences between your religion and others, does not make it true. Because, obviously, all those other religions can also point to differences between theirs and yours.
The differences you point out, add zero evidence that Christianity is true.
So, you 'pick Christianity' because it has the differences you have been taught to believe make it true. Can you get any more circular?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
