If so which one? They can't all be right, so which one is the TRUTH? Are they all made up?
And most important, how can I tell the difference? If a Hindu believes deep in his heart that there are many gods, and a Christian believes deep in his heart that jesus is the risen savior, how can I judge which experience is more valid?

Choose the one I want to believe in? Isn't that the same as saying they're all made up? Truth is truth, its not subjective.

Believe in yourself.
Why do you have to believe in any religion?

I think we all have to accept that these things are UNKNOWN. You could point to a book, but I don't see the point: the authors of that book have no more knowlegde than you or I or the guy on the street corner saying the world is ending. You have to read, think, and determine what you believe, if anything, and then accept that you could be wrong and that some your beliefs will evolve as you gain more knowledge. It's the only way you can hope to find truth while you are alive.

You can be certain that there are magical-seeming things that will turn out to be true. We know only a small fraction of what there is to know about the universe.
However, that has nothing whatsoever to do with the kinds of things that supernatural believers tout as evidence of the supernatural. Gods, ghosts, esp, psychics, fortune-tellers, human energy fields etc. are all simply commercial products tapping into a vast market of fantasy for the gullible. There's no truth to any of them.

That's a hard one. I think the truth has to be revealed to you. But, it cannot be revealed to you if you are not willing to recieve it. To me, Jesus is the truth. The reason for that is because I sincerely feel that I have experienced God. He has blessed my life so immensely and He has been directly involved in my life and I have seen the evidence of God. I have seen evidence of Him in the lives of others. I feel very deep and sincere about my belief in God, but like I said you have to be in a position where truths can be revealed to you. Because if you go to church, or whereever you go, with a sarcastic, condescending attitude, you will not feel anything, or see anything spiritually, all that will be blocked. As a Christian, I believe that through the saving blood of Jesus Christ I have been adopted into God's family and will recieve the inheritance. The inheritance is everlasting life in heaven. In the bible Jesus says," In my Fathers house are many mansions" It tells us how we can claim our inheritance.
John 3:16 tells us : For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life"
It also says that once we have accepted Jesus and we sin and we ask for forgiveness that God is JUST to forgive us of those sins. It says that not only does He forgive, He purposely forgets. He throws our sins over His shoulder never to be looked at by Him again. I wish you luck, dear one, in your quest and hope beyond hope that the CORRECT truth will reveal itself to you.

Just as much as the Lucky Charms cereal leprechaun is the only "true" leprechaun.
He may be false but the cereal is magically delicious.

All of them contain some truth. I doubt that any of them are the single repository for all truth.

It is God who choose you. That is the truth. Keep on knocking His door, He might answer you.

Be careful now. You're getting dangerously close to elimination by application of the Law of non-contradiction, and that's definitely an area you don't want to find yourself floundering in and hating yourself for later on down the road.

Christianity is the one true religion. It's based off the Bible, which is based off of thousands and thousands of manuscripts which all say the same thing. www.gotquestions.org, search this and find every question you have about the Bible answered. If you have any questions email me.
