Statistically though we know that what you believe depends largely on where you were born, so statistically we have a pretty good idea.
To me the fact that most people's conviction about which god is the true god comes out of where they were born says something... For me to say that I'm right and everyone else is wrong takes a whole lot more than simply happening to be born in the right place and time. And it would take a confidence in my ability to know all the options and discern the right choice that I simply cannot honestly admit to.
To think that I happen to be better informed and have better judgment than the majority of the planet is something I can't accept.

Well it depends on which parts of the Bible you refer to, how salvation is attained differs depending on if you are reading Mark, Matthew, Luke or John.
But what I meant is the Bible says what it says, but it's not unambiguous that the Bible is the right one.

That's what started me on the path I'm on, I wasn't able to answer my questions to my satisfaction either
