Belief = / = Truth Right?...?

I have a friend and we got into an argument. He believes Islam is the ONLY religion. Every time I say that "no one knows for sure" he gets pissed. He keeps saying whatever I or anyone else who isn't Muslim believes is false. What should I say?

    Be polite and considerate. You have to understand that some religions teach their way is the only way. Help him to realize that no one owns God or has a patent on Him. Religion was not made by God, but by man. It is man's way of describing what he believes is the truth. But, in the end it is just a belief. God Bless! +?+

    Actually it does if for that individual it's 'true'. There is no objective truth. All truth is subjective. So for him it's true for you it isn't.

    See this is why facts and evidence are so much better. While two people can interpret the facts differently you at least have a mutual starting point.

    Just let him know that you will have to agree to disagree. There is nothing you are going to be able to tell him as he is just another gullible sheep that believes in something that has no basis in reality.

    He is closed minded and you can't convince a believer of anything.

    What you believe I never have to, and what I believe you never have to.

    Nothing. Don't f*ck with the Muslims if you value your life.
