@Lincoln98 have read the Quaballah, it was a Jewish scholar I heard explain about Bal and El, I have not only read the Bible but been to Bible study and have read the Quoran. As well as studied Hinduism, Kuaana (ancient Hawaiin religion), Paganism, Wicca and Seihkism, oh and Buddhism.
To your defence IF this line of religion (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) is indeed the "one true path" Then Christianity is the religion I would choose of the three because according to prophecy after the son of God comes a false messiah sent from the devil to create war.
I also liked the aboriginal faith and the Romany mythology but...
Scientology is the funniest religion. Now that "religion" within known history comes from a work of fiction and is yet taken as a true faith so if that is happening within our lifetime then how can it not cause doubt that all other faiths come from fiction taken to be fact?
For me I take all faiths as possible. I believe in an energy or force that runs through and connects all life. Physics has arguments for there being more to life than life. But I'm in the gutter looking up at the stars, as we all are, so I have no idea what the "truth" of it is and prefer to live my life mindfully of others with consideration and do my best. I am human and unqualified to pass assumption on what is "the one true faith" but for those who do I feel they are putting divine expectations on their human being and destined to fail. To preach to others is also dicey as how we influence others could also effect our own being which again, if there is indeed more to life than life, is asking for trouble. I left Bible study because I asked so many questions that an elderly lady started to loose her faith, I felt that was inappropriate, I was not there to make others doubt, I was there to explore their belief so I am happy for you that you are happy in your faith and glad it gives you direction and comfort which seems to be the general purpose of all faiths.
Much luck, love and blessings.

@Paliglass All religions come from works of fiction and superstition. Ancient man noticed certain correlations between events and, unable to explain them otherwise, attributed them to gods. Together these observations formed the basis of doctrine which, in some cases, was then spread by force - if you didn't believe you were denying "god" so were put to death. Viz. the christiized Roman invasions, the crusades and the witch trials.

@suzie1960 ancient people worshipped the sun and the seasons and believed "God" was all around them. That makes sense, without the sun we'd be dead.
I find scientology funny because it was intended as fiction. But then so was the old testament - it was a book of stories written so ley people could have an understanding of the Quabahalla.
