For the sake of argument in this thread, we will assume that exactly one theistic religion is correct, and that a god does exist, but we do not know which. What I mean to ask is why do you (theists) believe that the evidence shows it is your god. Keeping in mind that it is very likely that many religions make similar claims to your own.
The Islamic argument goes on the lines of this:
Quran is unique, and has remain so, despite challenging all of humanity to bring a chapter like it.
The only rational explanation to this, is that it's of divine origin.
The Christian argument is more anecdotal:
The Bible is inspired by God.
The holy spirit can make you recognize it's inspiration is from God.
Receiving the holy spirit is possible, if one sincerely seeks God/the light.
