    The one that created us and the universe in which we inhabit. Or do you believe that the universe caused itself into existence?

    Satan is real and you unwittingly follow him. He influences you and you do his bidding.

    Do you even have a clue as to how large the universe is? Do you think some magical creature created an untold number of zillions of galaxies with zillions of zillions of planets but he is only concerned with the people who live on a speck of dirt on a small planet in an isolated galaxy and that he will spend eternity with them while ignoring everything else? Do you think that all of those stars will fall to the Earth as the Jesus character thought? Do you know how elements are created?

    Modern people are supposed to be more intelligent than cave men were 40,000 years ago were but it seems that a lot of people living in 21st Century America would be right at home with those ignorant cave men of the distant past. What are some of the fairy tales that you don't believe in? There are countless creator deities that other people believe in. What makes your's the right one and theirs' the wrong ones?

    If that is true do you think he will reward me with lots of goodies for being a loyal follower?

    Maybe, maybe not. My understanding is that Orthodox Jews have no afterlife and thus would seem to be motivated to be good more from a sense of familial pride than anything else A religion based on Pascal's Wager, though I'm sure it's more than that.

    What makes the Jews God better than everyone else's? It seems as if there isn't a Jewish fairy tale that some people won't doubt.

    Nope. He says he will but he always cheats you in the end.

    The Jew's God IS everyone else's. Christianity, Judaism and Islam; all have the same god and are really just variations on the same Folk Tale. We all know that Folk Tales are just myths and all myths are true.

    The Qur’an is not a linear book. There is no beginning or end, like the Bible. The chapters (which are really called “Surahs”) were named by the Prophet (at least according to most scholars) and simply describe the content of the verses which follow it in a word or two.

    What caused the one that created the universe to exist?

    You can in no way substantiate this claim.

    The universe has always existed and was not created.

    So your god is a human creation made up by primitive humans to try and explain what they could not understand.

    The same way you reached your conclusion that Zeus, Jupiter, unicorns and invisible pink yeti’s are all human inventions.

    All religions are

    How dare you sirrrah, Several Invisible Pink yetis gambol in my backyard even as we speak, I'd send you a picture but....

    In any case, you must realize that being pink they claim their own sex. Their pronoun is the word Holf and you would be well advised in the future to avoid offense to the LGBTQIPY community. Holf loves you.
