In the history of this planet, there are 4,200 different identified religions, god's and other supreme beings. The odds that YOURS is correct?
1 / 4,200 = 0.000238095238
Your odds are better at getting audited by the IRS and then slipping, falling and dying in the shower.
How can you be so sure that YOUR religion is right when everyone else on the planet says YOURS is wrong and THEIR'S is right? If you were born Muslim, that would be your belief, if you were born Jewish, that would be your belief, if your born Myan 2000 years ago, that would be your belief. So just because you were born into a particular religion, that automatically make you right and every else is wrong? Isn't that a bit arrogant?
So how do you justify being right with the odds of 0.000238095238????

I guess by closing ones eyes to reality, including science and statistics, holding on tight as heck to the fairytale one was told as a child and growing up to be perfectly self righteous.
I don't actually know, just trying to guess.

Look at it this way:
Only one out of those 4200 is correct. That means the other 4199 are wrong.
4199/4200 = .999761904761 percent error!
The Son of God said the following:
Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
NO OTHER FIGURE ANYWHERE ANYTIME HAS MADE THIS CLAIM!
THAT MAKES MY ODDS VERY GOOD!

The chances aren't even that good.
The 1 / 4200 would require one of them to be correct.

Simple....that 1 is the 1 that is correct and when you pray to Mohammad and he doesn't answer because he's DEAD, and you pray to Buddha and he doesn't answer because he's dead, and you pray to Mary and she doesn't answer because she's dead, and you pray to anybody else and they don't answer because they are all DEAD, BUT when you pray to the LIVING God our Heavenly Father and He answers...I know that I am in that .000238095238 and with the God of the universe that's the 1 and ONLY place to be. (Thumbs down all you want to I asked God to heal me and He did...no one will EVER convince me that those things didn't happen or that my God is not alive and well.)

I adore the Living God. I am glad that I do. I have terrible luck at lottery, so God knew this and started me off right. Otherwise, He knew I'd **** it up. Your statistics are very interesting. Praise God, and thanks be to Him that He made you. If you weren't underwater, I'd kiss you right now.

Great math, and exquisite logic. I don't know, I suppose they are just not that intelligent.

Jesus said the gate would be narrow that leads to Heaven, so that makes my odds pretty good.
