As I said, I do not believe I can provide any answer that will satisfy. All I can do is relate what the collective scriptures tell me, and that is that I believe we are all eternal beings who are currently in one stage of progression from one state to another. From an eternal perspective, we are in the third stage of our progression and what we do in this life; the choices we make, will affect where we go after mortality is over. So, what I get from the scriptures I accept and believe in is an eternal perspective. That this life is not the be all, end all of our existence.
Look, my question wasn't some really abstract thing. Give me a straight answer as to why you find the 'evidence' for Christianity more convincing than that of any other religion. I'm not asking you to justify your belief, although you should. I'm simply asking you to justify an assertion you made.
