If you say your religion is the best and the only true way, is it because...
1. You have come to understand other religions so much that you're an expert to each of these other religions, thus making you wise and authoritative enough to determine that your religion is, in the end, the only true one, or
2. You only know your own religion and much less about others, thus making the statement that your religion is the only true path to protect your self-identity out of inferiority complex?
So what's your opinion?

Those who claim that would have to be adhering to #2. How could anyone rate that which they know nothing about?

I came to know the other religions and understand their doctrine so I could try to convert them to Jesus. For this reason and for this reason only did I read the Koran and Mormon Books. For years I talked to Jehovah Witnesses at the front door and not once turned them away. I had one JW friend in my youth. In every religion we have good people.
I say Jesus the Christ is the Only True God and the only way to the Father God because the Bible tells me so. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is about Jesus the Christ and Savior of the world, the Son of the Living God. Who is God and who comes to the earth to take away the sins of the world so we can have eternal life through Him. We lost eternal life when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate of the Tree of Good and Evil.
Jesus was resurrected from the dead and because He lives I can live after death also.
In plain English - I believe the Bible, the Word of God. All of the Bible prophecy has come true. This cannot be said of other religions. I trust God. I hear the voice of God. The Lord guides me. You cannot convince me otherwise. If scientist had intelligence they would find science through the Word of God because until they do they will continue in circles. The Lord loves making the intelligent to become fools. He also likes taking the most unlikely human and making something great out of him. It happened over and over again in the Bible.
You need to read the Bible and learn the ways of God.

Saying any religion in particular is the ONLY way, just shows that the person saying it is a closed minded fool! Or that the person has been brain washed for so long that they have no idea what they are talking about.

I would be closer to "1."
I have read all of the koran, the book of buddhism, and the Bible. And yes I don't know everything about every one belief, even the Bible.
However after a lot research, I have come to know truth.
The truth is there is grace for everyone!

This is really a dorky question. There are other options that you have not presented. It is a typical trap that lawyers use in court to present a partial picture and hide the truth. A question to which you must answer 'yes' or 'no' and given no opportunity to qualify that 'yes' or 'no'. So, I have to choose '1' or '2' and no other. I choose NEITHER. The option I would like to make is missing.
That is my opinion.

I do not say that my religion is the best. I say that I believe the claims of Jesus Christ, that there is no way to the Father, but by Him. I have come to believe this through many years of study of the bible. I believe it is what it claims to be, given by inspiration of God.
What another believes about this....is their choice.

No, Jesus himself (word of God) said; if you believe in another teacher, do all that they command and you are not condemned, but if you do not believe in God, the Father, you are condemned already.
