You are a firm believer in Christ as a personal savior. Thus, you view Islam as a false religion and use your beliefs as evidence. To me, that doesn't work because I can create a hypothetical religion whose ideas contradict that of Christianity (ie. this religion says Christianity is false).

Does that guarantee the truth of this religion? Of course not.

Can you create a faith which is the same as the faith of God? No man is able to do so, but we may exercise a faith which is the same as that of the Son. Beware, there is a malevolent deceiver who seeks to be worshipped as God although he is not Him. Only God can create and provide that faith to us by His revelation, which is through faith in Jesus Christ.

"Does that guarantee the truth of this religion? Of course not."

To declare you have no faith at all is purely to say you have no consciousness.

Every man creates his own version of reality by placing faith in what he knows.

Even the most praised sociological, theological and scientific geniuses of our time have simply authored their own thoughts and/or "revelations" based on the limited information humanity has to offer.

All theories and "realities" are simply an opinion.

In other words, there are no guarantees of anything, only faith in something.
