I have a personal relationship with Christ - one that Muslims can not claim about Allah, one that Buddhists do not have towards the Buddha, nor Hindus with the literally millions of deities that they worship can claim to have with their gods.

How do you know that? Because you want to believe it? That's not very convincing.

When you accept something on faith, how can you criticize someone else's faith? They believe it as fervently, and for the same reason, as you do.

I know that because God said it. It is based upon His Word, not my feelings. I have also experienced His workings in my life and continue to. I have seen relatives healed of disease, overnight and have felt His peace when times have been pretty rotten. Is it faith? Yes. But it is faith with accompanying evidence - not blind faith.

one may believe something to be true, and that doesn't make it so. If you are dealing with man's opinion only, then my faith has no corner on the market compared to yours. However, we aren't dealing with man's opinion alone. We are dealing with evidenciary proofs that set Christianity and God's Word, the Bible, aside from all else. Archaeological evidence supports the Bible. Historical evidence supports the Bible. Circumstantial evidence supports the Bible. The changed lives of others support the Bible. My basis for belief is Scripture, and it has stood the tests of time and the critics who have tried to destroy it.

Other religions are demonstrably false. They do not "work" in real life. Christianity does.
