Actually, I understand your Pascal's theory very well. Don't you think that as a rational, thinking human being, I have considered the fact that the religion I follow might be the wrong one? Of course. Otherwise I would be blindly following something without good reason.
But I HAVE thought about it, and have come to the conclusion that Christianity is the only option for ME as the true religion. And, for goodness sakes, I also know that Christianity has only been around for a short time. That is because Judaism, which has been around MUCH longer, led to Christianity. They merged and became one and the same as many Jews accepted Christ.
It doesn't matter that Judaism today does not agknowledge Christ, I will still accept the Old Testament as the truth, with the theory that people parted after Adam and Eve were thrown out of Eden, creating all of the other religions today to fill the emptiness in their lives-caused by being away from God. Comments?

You, like everyone else, are entitled to believe whatever you want to believe.

Suggestion; Instead of thinking that Judaism and Christianity merged; think of Christianity grew out of Judaism. After all, the 'Lord' (capital L) followed by the Hebrews/Jews was the Lord Jesus Christ. Many 'people may not realize that fact due to 1) His physical walk here on earth (nearly 2000 years ago) and 2) what we tend to call the red letter edition.

Why do you believe Christianity is the true religion? Because I have yet to find any credible evidence supporting it.

If you have made up your mind on what you believe then that is how it is to you and there is no need to try to convince you that it is any other way.
