All can be wrong, but that is not to say that any are right. It is one of the facts of life that all our faiths are nothing more than faith.

"Logically," all COULD be wrong, that doesn't mean all ARE wrong. It is a fact that my faith is more than faith. My faith is in a real person - Jesus Christ, who really lived, really died, and really lives again, and who really loves me and gives me eternal life. My faith is based on real evidence - it is a rational faith. Faith in faith alone is a non-rational leap. There is a difference between the two. It sounds like your faith is a sort of vague hope that if there is a god up there, you will find out when you die, and hope that he is not the Christian god I am telling you about. Do you really want to pin your eternity on that vague unsubstantiated hope?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but . . .

That statement of yours is enormously faith filled statement.

There's exceedingly INSUFFICIENT PERSPECTIVE AND INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE for you to make such an all encompassing statement. It HAS TO BE filled, at least pot marked, with faith. Evidently it is faith in your own intellectual supremacy or some such. But it is a type of faith, nevertheless.
