Your roommate is correct, as is Suave. Which is a problem with the views some take on Christianity. Religion is something that is intangible. When we think that we are having a good grasp on what exactly IS God, or a deity, the afterlife, heaven, hell, whatnot, we REALLY have barely scratched the surface to what lies beneath. Religion is something that is in place for an explanation to that which is unexplainable to humans. So when you call something a given truth, or fail to accept all other possibilities in religions, then you are attempting to put limitations on that which is not able to be harnessed. Ill compare to something else: What if no one questioned the flatness of the earth before Columbus went on a voyage to discover a way to the East by going West?
Always keep your mind open to other perspectives on religious viewpoints. Just think... it may seem radical to you now, but at least the earth isnt still flat, right?

1500 years ago, everybody knew that the earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody knew that the earth was flat. And 15 minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

Right now you KNOW that Chrisitanity is correct. What happens later down the road?
