If there is more than one religion, how can any one be right?

Easily, by the rest being wrong.
Look, we keep going in circles on this. I believe what I believe because of my experiences, not because I am delusional. I asked, God answered, I believe. Atheists don't ask, don't want to believe, wouldn't believe even if they had irrefutable evidence. Why? Because they hate the
idea of God. If God exists, that means there is someone out there more important than them, which utterly demolishes their worldview. Satan pees his pants laughing every time an atheist utters their "free thought" nonsense.
We're all the same, Christian, atheist, Buddhist. Believing in Christ doesn't make me better than TS, DanaC, Catwoman or anyone else. In fact, they and any other number of people are probably better than me in most if not all ways. But I recognize my sin, realize who it's offending, and ask forgiveness from him. How is that "throwing myself deeper into an ignorant faith that prevents me from seeing the real cause of my distress?" The cause of my distress is sin - you can't get any simpler or more fundamental than that.
This business of being a Christian to keep from going to our imaginary hell.....stow it. I will save us all alot more rambling posts by saying this once - believing in Christ is what gives me peace and eliminates my fear. The difference between you and me is, I admit I *have* fear, that I don't have all the answers and need help from God.
:P on a short fuse this a.m...spent all last night dreaming that I was running back and forth from the airport terminal to the parking garage. I kept forgetting stuff. Never did get on the plane.
