The problem of different religious texts...

There are more than thousands of religious texts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_text#List_of_sacred_texts_of_various_religions) yet believers of one religion and its religious text(s) fail to  acknowledge the other religions and their religious texts.

It is impossible to prove that one religion and its religious texts are true and all the other ones are not. This is ignorance by thiests and can be used to attack the basis of religion.

Is this problem Irrefutable or Refutable? Is it a proper argument against all religions?

People are going to believe what they want to believe. When someone holds his/her Faith to be the only true Faith, such a person will not accept the beliefs of other religions.

I always felt that religion was one thing given hundreds of different names by people separated by geography and physical obstacles but not by human thoughts or biological hindrance. We want to believe in something greater than us and so we give it a name. The three major monotheistic religions of the world- Muslims, Christians, and Jews- share many of the same beliefs and even prophets. They're different outlooks into the same basic entity. Even Hinduism, is considered as "giving many faces to one force" making people think that maybe their God(s) just has different forms for one spiritual power.
