Converting

[cleansed]

It's just struck me that choosing a religion to convert to must be really difficult.

Think about it for a moment.

We have Christians and Muslims, in particular, through here all the time showing us the merits of their beliefs.

- The Qu'ran is 100% credible and has no contradictions.  Neither does the Bible.

- The Qu'ran is scientifically correct and infallible.  So is the Bible.

- The Qu'ran made predictions about events that are happening now.  So did the Bible.

And their believers are so willing, in some cases, to do whatever is necessary to prove their religion to be true.  Why would they do that if the beliefs aren't true?

And we KNOW the above is all accurate because who, with God watching over them, would lie to promote their beliefs?  That would be a sin and potentially worthy of a hot trip southwards...

So we know they're telling the truth.

And then we get to the difficulty of choosing which sub group of the religion to belong to.  Should we become Shia or Sunni?  Catholic or Baptist?

With all of this, it's no surprise that atheists seem so stubborn.

We just don't know which of these True Religions to choose from.

This was my problem when I first started looking for God.  I had no idea which claim if any were true.  I spent around 8 years researching and going through quite a bit before I was able to come to a conclusion.  I can definitely relate to your frustration.
