I studied at an international School where I had many friends of various religions.I was searching for "truth". After a long search,I was able to find the real truth in Jesus and Christianity only.

The comparison is entirely wrong. I have a theoretical and general view of what religions are. I needn't put my fingers in this particular socket to know it is going to kill me, too (like every socket). I needn't try every single religion to know that by definition, religions are the acceptance of a superior being, and submission to it, without proof or the right to discuss it. I don't want that for me. I'm not the type of people who will accept someone bossing me around for no reason. So, because religions ARE that, by definition, I don't want religions for me, and I wish humanity were free from them.
Coming back to your ice-cream simile, it's like wondering if all ice-creams are cold. They are by definition. I don't have to try them all to see if they are all cold. And since I don't like something so cold through my throat, I don't like ice-cream as a whole.

That is why I believe religious and spiritual matters are best left up to the individual and what works for them. I have done a lot of research. I learned the most by opening myself up to all possibilities. Good luck. Frankly, I like all 36 flavors. And, in a banana split.

People do what they have been raised in or with what feels right Also, I don't have to eat chocolate ice cream to know I like vanilla. Your logic is flawed.

You don't have to read EVERY book about a specific religion to know its not your choice, just like you don't have to eat every kind of ice cream to know your favourite is butter pecan. I personally could not be Muslim,because I have been raised to believe women are equal to men, any more than I could like tiger tail icecream because i don't like licorice flavoring.

I took comparative religion classes in college if that counts for anything. I was not religious then but I am a Christian now.
At that point in my life I didn't like any ot the religions except Buddhism.
Later my heart was changed and Jesus is the only one for me.

Simple answer: You can't.
EDIT: You can't know if chocolate ice cream is BETTER than vanilla if you don't try it. YOUR logic is flawed.

Have you ever been to every part of the galaxy to prove your right? How will you know? Can you be in every part of the galaxy to prove something exists or doesn't?

Only one religion has Jesus, the Bible, and a way out of hell that is free.
