Too Many

Wow. What a long list of religions/mythologies/spiritual traditions:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religions_and_spiritual_traditions

And this list can't even be complete. How many other religions have there been that have been completely forgotten? How many are there right now that didn't make this list?

How many people do you know of any one particular faith who believe exactly the same things, worship in exactly the same ways?

From Austin Cline's article, "Too Many Gods, Too Many Religions: All Can't Be True, But All Can Be False":

It's not logically impossible that one interpretation of one tradition from one religion might really be true after all, but the great diversity of beliefs means that anyone who claims this will have to demonstrate that their chosen religion is unequivocally more likely to be true and is more credible than all the others. That won't be easy to do.

Hm. Yet, everyone believes that their own religion is the one true religion, and that their God (or, gods) is (are) the real God (or gods).

How can anyone consider such a long list of religions/mythologies/spiritual traditions and not wonder what the truth really is? Is yours the real one just because you believe that it is? Because that's what people believe in whatever place and time you were born?

Logically, either one religion is the correct one, or none of them are. Either way, a lot of people are wrong.
