Why ALL religions are false

I figured that on the very last day of the 2007 year I would post this awesome video I obtained from YouTube featuring Hector Avalos (the author of the book The End of Biblical Studies) on why he rejected Christianity:



In order for Christianity to be true, why are so many other religions in existence? That doesn't make much sense if you think about it. Jesus came to die for the sins of mankind, right? Clearly, such an action committed by the Son of God himself should put everything into a straightforward perspective.

The problem for Christianity is that it is no different than any other religion. It has its own various sects, denominations, factions, and rituals, just like any other belief system. Also, anyone raised according to their culturally religious background are likely to adhere to their belief system from upbringing. If Christianity were true and Jesus came to die for ALL of the sins of mankind, then clearly everyone brought up in those environments would come to the truth as offered by Christianity. And before Christians object that what I am saying is nothing more than mindless, dribbling, irrelevant, and illogical nonsense, perhaps they should also be reminding themselves of Romans 1:20, where this is attested too quite plainly:

20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Yet despite what the Bible is clearly saying, this isn't the reality of the issues at hand. Someone brought up in a Muslim home is bound to be Muslim, a person brought up Hindu is more than likely to embrace Hinduism. There is no possible way for ALL religions to be correct, and this is just another nail in the coffin for Christianity and all other religions that claim to be the one and only truth. Case closed.
