Because you are refusing to believe in the Absolute. You are denying the Absolute by claiming you believe in an Absolute. It is insane to think this way. You may wish this is logical, but, in fact, it is not logical.

The only Truth, and the only Way, is the Lord Jesus Christ. He said so Himself. So, that makes him either a liar or God incarnate. Up to you to decide, but if I were you (and I used to be in many respects, at least experimented with atheism), I would NOT rely on my own ability to detremine there is no God and there are no absolutes. How can you determine this?

I think it is very difficult to discuss this with you. You (seem to) hold to this unshakable belief in the binary. There's no middle. It's this or that, and that's the only possibility.

With all due respect, that's just as insane as anything else you are describing.

But the prophet Mohamed said the same thing about Allah. Hindu's believe that Lord Brahma created the universe and set it in motion, and the others have their respective true one God. I'm merely asking how do you know absolutely, that Christianity is the one true religion. Being a person of science I will rely on my own ability to question. Not questioning one's own faith or beliefs I find worse of all possible paths. I admire my friends who are willing to question their respective religions, and still chose to believe.

You are denying the Absolute by claiming you believe in an Absolute.

This sentence makes no sense to me. It's like saying that I don't believe in oranges because I believe in oranges. Which is not the case. I don't believe and a or many God, therefore I don't believe in God. This statement most summarizes my beliefs, so it is not illogical.

False dilemma fallacy. Another option: things got vastly inflated by the myriad of authors who wrote his biography.
