Please, no circular logic (this means don't quote scripture to "prove" your point). I'm looking for a logical, scientific explanation for why Christians assume they're right and every other religion is wrong.

I think it is because the "best" religion would have a lot of followers. A lot of followers mean more $$$ being either donated or tithed.
Mormons truly believe their church to be the ONLY living gospel. If someone does not get the opportunity to hear the gospel while they are alive, they will learn of it in the hereafter. Based on this "True" gospel - they are a VERY wealthy church.
My bias, however, in answering your question is that I believe there is not a whole lot of difference between creating a church and creating power and prestige for oneself.

Sorry, it's a "faith thing."
Simply put, our beliefs center around Deity who came down to earth in the flesh of a man, and lived an exemplary life, in fulfillment of the Jewish laws and the prophets.
That His sacrifice was for all sin, including mine, makes it a very personal relationship between Jesus Christ, and the believer. Since He went to all that trouble for my benefit, why would He lie to me when He says that He along is the truth, the way, and the life; that no man goes to the Father except through Him.

Which countries are blessed by their God and you can tell if they worship a real God or a fake one. Take one of the poorest countries, Hades. That country is cursed because they believe in Voodo just like the people of New Orleans did.
God reveals himself though the nations on earth.

Yes,other religeons in the past use some of the same stories,but other religeons also got alot of things wrong.
The Bible is the only religeous book I know of that mentions the Earth being a sphere and accuratly describe the planets water system.

But don't you think all religions do that? It's like belonging to a club--you want to be in the best one. If you thought another one was better, you'd join that one, right?
