From a Christian POV God or the Devil has this ablity. Satan is a deceiver by nature. Satan can claim just about anything. for someone who does not know any better, what other choice do they have but believe whatever the supernature tells them?
This begs the question...
If you believe that other beings can interact with us from some other plain of existence, and these other beings, Satan for example, are also extremely powerful, how do you know that you are not the one being deceived by said super powerful being?

No other religion has their God interact with the common man. Only Prophets and emisarries have that right even in OT judisim.
I am not saying common people of 'other religions' do not claim this, I am saying no other religion allows for this type of interaction in their holy books between thier various gods and the common man.
The fact that all religions have different beliefs that make them unique is not a point in your favor.
Hinduism is unique. It is the only one where God burns your sins away in Narak, then allows you to live another life until you gain enlightenment.
No other religion allows for this type of interaction in their holy books between their god in Narak and the common man.
See, differences in unique beliefs do not make one religion any more credible than any other.
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.
