You have an interesting method of not asking in disrespect, so I’ll just reply this once and leave it at that.

Christianity is based largely around the idea of faith. If God made it so plainly obvious what he was doing that there were no competing views or religions, then Christianity could no longer be about faith.

So how do we know when we are putting our faith in the right thing? Well that would come down to various other factual arguments that, when taken in unison, point to the reliability of the Bible. I, for one, like the minimal facts case for the resurrection and the fact of all the manuscript evidence showing that the message of the Bible is effectively the same as it was in the early church.

I do think that these claims are correct, hence why I am a Christian. Whether or not everyone else in the world is wrong or not doesn’t really matter here, though, of course, it should make one cautious
