Nuggets from “An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith” by Dave Hunt - 

In spite of the great appeal to many that what one believes can create reality, this is clearly a delusion. In fact, belief must be based upon reality. Yet the belief of so many, particularly in the area of religion has no factual foundation. The beliefs of many religious people are little more than sanctified superstitions. Many either do not want to face any evidence to the contrary (“I never discuss religion!”) or imagine that faith is proved all the stronger if it stands firm in the face of evidence that contradicts it. Obviously, however, a “faith” that is not based upon truth cannot be defended and should not be relied upon. It can only lead one day to taking a final—and eternally fatal—leap in the dark.

Where are truth and certainty to be found? Shall we devote our lives to studying all of the world’s religions in an attempt to find the right one? No one could live long enough to complete that task. Then how can one make a valid decision without knowing all of the choices available?

The Uniqueness of the Bible

There is a simple solution, a shortcut to truth: start with the Bible first and investigate it thoroughly. Why start there? Not just because the Bible claims to be the only inspired Word of the one true God who created us. It also claims that all of the world’s religions and their scriptures are false and actually in the service of Satan. The Bible calls Satan “the god of this world” (2 Corinthians:4:4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
See All...) and thus the author of its religions. So if the Bible is true, we have saved ourselves a lifetime of vain searching through false systems.
