A very clumsy way of doing things.

Because we ourselves must take the choice. We must pick the decision; pick the right answer.
It's a test, and tests can't have a sheet of answers:

Quote:Sura 11, The Quran:
( 7 )   And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne had been upon water - that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed. But if you say, "Indeed, you are resurrected after death," those who disbelieve will surely say, "This is not but obvious magic."

Oh right. So we're being experimented on. Allah is a dick, again. People who are lucky enough to be born into the right religion are indeed given the answer sheet, aren't they? That makes it, at the very least, a hugely unfair test.

How am I meant to pick the right book to tell me how to be moral if my standard of morality is meant to be the book I pick? In that regard, every answer is right, isn't it?

It's a bit like when Adam ate the snake, before Eve had told him he shouldn't do that.
