Judaism the more legit religion?
Isn't it likely that Judaism is more legitimate? In Judaism god spoke to Millions of people at once, In Islam they haven't changed there story to please people, they just stuck with the same old evil god they knew. All the other major religions always rely on the word of one or two people who "say" they spoke to god. So out of all of the religions Judaism seems to be the most honest one. Mormonism, Christianity , Islam and Scientology all exists on the word of one or two people.
PSY- Ok, you say its arrogant, why? Just stateing something don't mean anything, those are just words you types backed by nothing, no explanation, no opinion, no theory just a waste of limited effort. Please elaborate if you can.
DeJan - I think you missed the point as did a few people. I said isn't it more legitimate, in the sense that God spoke to millions of people at Mr Sinai and those people gave first hand accounts to their descendants then say St. Peter saying I spoke to god, or Joe Smith saying he found golden plates, or Muhammad saying blah blah blah. What im saying is God spoke to millions instead of just one.
If thousands of people tell you they a pink elephant or 1 person told you they say a pink elephant, who are you more likely to believe.

If you are starting with the Jewish Bible and the Jewish stories of the patriarchs,
then it is indeed rational to see the Jewish reading of those sources and Jewish memory of the events as the most likely to be true out of all of those who follow.

Judaism the more legit religion?
~~~ It seems to me that all Faiths are considered 'legit' by their 'believers'!
That would make them all 'legit'.
'Legit' IS a matter of Perspective, no?
"For every Perspective, there is an equal and opposite Perspective!" - The First Law of Soul Dynamics
"The acceptance and understanding of other Perspectives furthers our acquaintance with Reality!"
Judaism seems to be the most honest one. Mormonism, Christianity , Islam and Scientology all exists on the word of one or two people.
~~~ Judaism.... Mormonism, Christianity , Islam and Scientology all exists on the >>> wait for it... >>> on the Faith of millions of followers!
Actually.
There is no reason why one word from one man cannot 'inspire' an upwelling of Faith in some people, a 'resonance' that can resound throughout existence?
Is that a problem for you?
How many Perspectives of the One (unchanging, ALL inclusive) Reality does it take to define the One (unchanging, ALL inclusive) Reality? *__-
"The complete Universe (Reality/Truth/God/'Self!'/Tao/Brahman... or any feature herein...) can be completely defined/described as the synchronous sum-total of all Perspectives!" - Book of Fudd
ALL INCLUSIVE!!!
Since your argument depends on your numbers, and your numbers are fallacious in the pursuit of your argument, it might be time to ... re-examine your premises?

I'm not sure which event you're talking about when you say god spoke with millions of people at once but as a Muslims we believe in one god the same one who sent Moses and Jesus peace be upon them.

Sorry, what do you mean? According to Jewish teaching, Moses went up to the mountain to speak to God through the burning bush. When he came down, he revealed God's commandments to the people.
It not only fits the description of one person revealing the truth to the masses, it's the primogenitor and template for all other 'prophetic' stories.

You mean the Mt. Sinai?
Who do you think spoke from Mt. Sinai? It was Christ Himself. Have you read the Sermon on the Mount? Jesus repeatedly says, "You have heard..... but I say to you". He was not changing anything except the explanation. Why would He do that if He thought He did not have the authority to do so?
Only the Lawgiver could explain the laws.

You talk utter nonsense.
Jesus Christ of Christianity came as a fulfilment of Judaism and it's laws. Islam came around 5 or 600 years after the new testament of the Christians. Therefore the Qoran is a change from the original scriptures of the Bible. Jesus Christ is evident throughout the whole Bible. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

How can you even make such a statement.
i.e. "So out of all of the religions Judaism seems to be the most honest one."
Sorry to say but I find this post a bit ignorant.
