Christianity: the only logical religion.

I come across many people whom understand the fundamental truth that there is a creator to this vastly intricate universe. They understand that a god exists. But they are led astray by the question which god? I have Hindu friends, Muslim friends, Janist friends, and of course, Christian friends. Many might suggest that all religions lead to the same god, or the same spiritual truth. I vehemently disagree.

I disagree not only because of the numerous fundamental differences between each religion, but also because the Bible sets itself apart as the clear inspired word of God. To begin with Hindu's have over 250 million different gods, basically a god for anything and everything. Janist's, like Buddhists, conform to the belief that all forms of life contain spiritual significance. Muslims adhere to a monotheistic view in which Allah is their god. All of these religions have texts that were derived from one generational period or in some cases, just one person. Also, none of these religions existed at the beginning of time, Jainism is listed as one of the oldest, but not the oldest. Islam didn't begin until Mohammad walked the earth centuries after the death of Christ. Hinduism has been coined by some as the oldest religion but there is no evidence to support this besides tradition passed down through the generations. Another major point is that none of these religions give a detailed historical account of the beginning of time without borrowing views expressed in the Bible. These religions impact many spiritually, but there is no evidence to support their legitimacy or the fact they all claim to be the "right religion".

This is where Christianity stands alone. Christianity is easily the oldest religion as described in Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth". The God of the Bible has always existed and he revealed to us through his word how he made everything come to be. Later in Genesis we find that on the 6th day of creation God created man in his own image and later created a woman from the man. These first two people were named Adam and Eve, and they walked with God as recorded in Genesis. So the first human beings to walk the Earth had a clear intimate relationship with the God of the Bible. In addition, the universally accepted dating system of BC and AD refer to Christ and the number of years in relation to before or after Christ lived on this Earth, and just more evidence of the Biblical God being incorporated in our dating methods for both ancient and modern times. So one can easily conclude those who believe in the Biblical God adhere to the original God of the universe, the same God as Adam and Eve. Furthermore the Bible, unlike any other religion, has over 40 authors over a period of 2000 years. Its very easy to make up a religion or falsehood when one person is writing everything over one generation, but it is extremely difficult to maintain a good religion that is consistent with over 40 people adding to it over many generations with some authors not even knowing each other or living in completely different countries. This would be near impossible to do, unless it was truly inspired by God. The Bible has no contradictions, no falsehoods even with such diverse authorship. Anyone who has read the Bible can testify to the extreme detail about history and spiritual truths that it records, it should be easy to prove at least a few things false if the Bible was as outrageous as some claim. But with every cross reference, archaeological find, and secular historical account, the Bible comes out spotless.

So I contend that the Biblical God is the most logical religion based on the issues mentioned above. The fact that the Bible records creation and has stood the test of time, and the fact that the Bible contains more diverse authorship and a lengthier time span of revelations than any other contemporary religion. It is a grave mistake to not believe in God, and it is most logical to believe in the Biblical God.
