I agree with you here that not all religions can be right. However, you forget the possibility that they could all be wrong.

there r many religion in the world, but surly there r only one right religion, but how could we reach the right believe, the right path?
The answer to this question is easy.
You figure out what each religion is doing that is getting results, then you find the religion that only does those things. Then and only then will you have the one true religion.

If I ever stumble across that fanfic-I mean, sacred new religious text, the world will be a better place.

I would be interested in hearing how you perceive it to be "just like" it.
I suppose you are suggesting that scriptures are fiction, however there is no evidence to even suggest that is the case.

My god helps me. Granted he doesn't help me win at the casino much but then I suppose He views that as an abuse of power.

According to Proverbs, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. So what miscreant ever changed his ways without being compelled to do so?
Would Saul still be jailing Christians and having them killed if Jesus had never appeared to him? My guess is that he would.

that's because they don't offer the condemnation, either. that's hardly a plus for christianity, just a bigger envelope for blackmail.
How can you be sure that God is helping you rather than your brain just convincing you that good things happen because of God?

The only way we can reach that is one person at a time deciding on their own what is right for them selves. There is no right path for all of us.

One time I was having a particularly difficult time finding a stable job. I received a call from a head hunter who I didn't even remember and somehow he had the perception that I was a Christian. He made a trip from several miles away to my home to check me out to see if I really were one. It turns out that there was a manager who wished to hire someone who would be happy to join his Bible study at work. I didn't have any experience but that didn't matter because I was the person he was looking for. I could not have made that happen for myself.
doesn't mean that a supernatural being caused it. Especially as the company was looking for a Christian

well in light of the times that proverb was written, i would say it would be stupid if one openly rejected the idea of god because they would be stoned to death (a mob mentality isn't a moral mentality)...so yes only a fool would openly reject and not fear the idea of god if their life depended on it...
why would the fear of god have anything to with that?
it is more likely that their sense of remorse could give them a change of heart...
question is, why do good people do bad things in the name of god?
we also have to consider the power paul acquired over people

He was pointing out that you can't expect the other religions to fix a concept only put forward by the abrahamic religions.
It's just as arrogant as Tolkien demanding Rowling get Harry Potter to destroy the one ring. It's not a problem in the HP universe.
This argument only works if the scriptures are proven to be non-fiction.
Look up "burden of proof"

Compelled by what? I used to drink and drive, smoke 2 packs a day and drank heavily every night. I changed because I wanted to be healthier, had nothing to do with God. Also, check out every other major religion in the world... They all claim change, this isn't unique to your belief system or God.
Would the Crusades have ever happened without God having appeared to the Catholics and told them to do so? My guess is they wouldn't. Delusions and hallucinations can effect people, just check out any LSD or Ecstasy forum, doesn't make the experiences any less of a hallucination.
Disregard the one who give us life, and breath, and every good thing? Who loved us enough to send his only-begotten son to die so that we may live forever? (Acts 17:25, I John 4:8-10)? The God who provides food, sunshine, rain, and air to breathe? (Acts 14:17) I don't think that is a good idea.
