What is it that makes your religion, or lack thereof, indisputably the Truth? How do you absolutely know the "other side" is wrong?
As an Agnostic, I'd prefer answers other than "Logic" or "Faith." Not that these aren't real answers, but I'm looking for anything more persuasive.

I don`t need to argue truth or feel the need to convert anyone .
What I have is self esteem ,intelligence ,compassion and a love for the human race and nature .I didn`t get this from a book or from someone teaching me the " TRUTH "
I have no religion ,I have life and a desire to live it in peace.
I don`t care who is right on the religion and evolution debate .
All I know is I`m not wasting my energy or time aguing the point .

Me = Christian (just to get it out of the way)
1) Bible - prophecy that then becomes true. 1 example will be prophet daniel predicting rise and death of Alexander the great. This is so accurate, that many people try to redate him at 150 BC so it is no longer prophecy.
2) Power of Jesus christ in my life - Alcoholism - gone in a day.
Praying in tounges - really wierd, but it is true. So many coincidences such as what I am teaching on a day, is the same as what is on a radio talk show. happening once in a while is o.k. But 100 out of 100 times?
People healed of Cancer, Shriveled hands growing, Gold dust falling from the sky.
add it up, and I have no doubts.
My occupation is a chemist, so I test everything. all this mounted together makes it true in my opinion

Actually I don't believe in organized religion, for the simple fact that every religion believes it has it right. I do believe in God, for the simple fact that if we take it all back to the beginning it had to come from somewhere, in other words the big bang theory well where did the matter come for the start of that? There just has to be a creator, but has man got it right yet on whose religion is right, when has man ever got that right?

Tell me is what you believe in the BIBLE? You must believe in Jesus Christ and that he is the true son of God and that he came to this earth taught the disciples what to write in the Bible and then he died on a cross to save all our sins! Then on the third day he was raised from that grave and is ruling with God on his right hand. If you do believe you already know that answer to your question. It is in your Bible. Pick it up and read it sometime and you will have more knowledge and understanding everyday.

Not everyone believes that it is the "undisputed" truth, but through logical reasoning and faith (sorry) it can be at least the most logical choice. For the most part, my own views are unique, and I could write forever on why I believe them, but that would be pointless, because nobody is going to read this.

Treasure boxes lie within.
Discover the keys as you go along
See around you what is real, and what is not.
Grow more when you stop growing
Become ennobled and renew that nobility.
Understand that the more you turn away from the light, the more the light reveals what was behind you.

True religion helps one to discover what a truly wonderous and joyous world we
live in!
Book of Job, chapter 12.
"Ask the Earth and it will teach you,
and the birds of the air and they will teach you,
and the fishes of the sea will declare it unto you!"

As I recall the feeling of being with a crowd and the stimulus of the gospels but the enslavement of free thinking and oath of credence force people to egress to a higher moral ground.

My religion is right because it doesn't conflict with reality or history or common sense or my morality. It won't mind if I ask it any questions. It encourages me to try to disprove it, so I KNOW that it's true! It doesn't ask me to give money, suspend my intellect, or spend any time inside a building on Sunday listening to a guy tell me what god thinks.

look at history of humanity and civilisation. which religion spread fast and covers almost the whole world and observe properly which of its followers have the deepest faith in its own religion and god (if any).
