An omniscient, non-decietful entity tells you what the right 'belief' is...

An omniscient, non-decietful entity tells you what the right 'belief' is...
A being that is omniscient, and cannot deceive you successfully proves to you that they are such a being and that they cannot deceive you or lie to you in any way shape or form.

They then tell you the group that has it right is...:

Christianity
Judaism
Islam
Hinduism
Mormonism
Greek Mythology
Norse Mythology
Wicca
Scientology
Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
Atheism

How would you react to each of them? 

Christianity - I'd probably be a little disappointed.  Why all the crazy beliefs?  Did Yahweh really kill all of those people? 

Judaism - About the same as Christianity, only without Jesus now. 

Islam - I'd be really disappointed.  I don't want to cover my head! 

Hindusim - I don't really know much about Hinduism tbh.

Mormonism - "Really?!  Magic... Underwear?"

Greek Mythology - Where did all the gods go?

Norse Mythology - I wouldn't mind seeing a statue of Thor in place of the ten commandments tbh.

Wicca - Does this mean we can do magic?  Also I know very little about Wicca.

Scientology - Wow.  The scam religion? L. Ron Hubbard is a dick.

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster - Bet almost nobody expected THAT.

Atheism - So there is no god... well where did this supernatural omniscient entity come from then?!  Also seems like the likely answer anyway.

It is impossible for it to prove that it cannot deceive someone.  If it were omnipotent, it would necessarily be able to deceive, as it could do anything.  So your question is contradictory.

Besides, it is the ancient Greek religion, not mythology.  Dionysus is real.  Repent and be saved:

If in the end, you found that god really existed...

Er, curiously, you left out the One True Faith.

The Congregation of Jehovah's Presbytery of Zion, the Baneemyites.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Fine.  If it is omniscient, then it would necessarily know how to deceive a person.  Really, it is not very difficult, as many people deceive other people, and some people even deceive themselves.

Dionysus, though, is real.  So repent and drink up.  I promise you, you will feel the effects if you drink enough.  You do not even have to be a believer first, and can experience divine intoxication even while doubting His existence.
