There is no more RELIABLE evidence for one religion over another.Ergo,how to know with certainty that one God IS the true God of all gods? Or, perhaps, there IS more than one God. Which ones NEED I believe in and how do I discern the truth?
Need I believe in some books first? Which ones? There are so very many "holy" books, how to KNOW which is the correct book or books?

Choose one with the lowest APR and the best mileage. Some people swear by the American models but I find them to be inconsistent, stubborn, and unreliable. Plus they just wear out too soon.
If you're on the fence, I'd go with a nice Japanese model. Established brand, requires very little maintenance on your part, cost effective, and reliable as all get out.
I really see you behind the wheel of Shintoism or Zen Buddhism. Take one for a test drive.

Good question. How do we know that the majority could be wrong (because that's never happened in the past), and the minority is right? Who really knows? Those who claim knowledge, give no quantifiable evidence to prove themselves, besides a book, and other subjective reports.
But I have to agree with some people. The only answer to this question is research. However, not the kind of research that involves books and the internet, but the kind that involves you searching yourself and asking what you want. That will help you 'choose' a god. Maybe that god is inside. A kinda "ye shall be as gods" statement, I know.

Why don't you try research? There are many books within Christian Apologetics which will simply give you credible, verifiable evidence in support of the Bible. So then, if there is so much evidence in favour of the Bible -which there is- then everything written in it is valid and useful and relevant. Since that is the case, the fact that the Bible teaches there is only one true God who created the universe and everything within and the fact that the Bible condemns the worship of anything or anyone else and the fact that the Bible teaches there is only one true faith -faith in Christ Jesus- the answer is both simple and obvious. See resources below for more info and go to a Christian book store and buy them; that is, of course, if this is an honest and serious quest for the truth and for answers to your questions.

This is a very difficult question to answer, yet an excellent question to ask. I myself struggled with religion for a very long time until I found the one I could identify with the most. I was born into Christianity, but I could never find a spiritual connection with it. And I had a very, very hard time believing in Jesus as "God". So, today I am a Muslim and I have embraced Islam as my faith. It is an incredibly beautiful religion and, in my opinion, makes the most sense. So my advice to you is to do some research on some religions and decide which one has an impact on you and you can identify with. Good luck:) Inshallah you will find your way with God.

Religion does not equal God. Religion can equal education. No one book is completely correct since they are man made creations.
If you want to find God, the one True God, try your spirit.

By far, the easiest and best choice is to abandon them all and think freely and live without guilt.
I forgot to add -- if you had to choose one.. Buddhism would be the best bet. It's more of a philosophy that sends you on a path of enlightenment, teaches tolerance and doesn't have a need for a pesky god.

to find those who worship the true God look for these 6 points:
1. base their teachings on the bible
2. worship only Jehovah and make his name known
3. show genuine love for one another
4. accept Jesus as God's means of salvation
5. are no part of the world
6. preach God's Kingdom as man's only hope

Maybe this link will help. It provides a comparison of all the major world religions, and gives info on a study of their followers.

Believe in nothing.
Keep your heart open for truth if it ever shows up.
All the "holy" books are works of fiction written by man. they are translated, abridged, condensed, rewritten version of an original sham.

There is only ONE God. God the Father Almighty. The one and only living God. You believe on faith, and the Bible is the only book you need.
You either get it or you don't! Amen.
