To pretend to have debunked the existence of a religion or philosophy by pointing out that there are, in fact, others is an impressive feat. Congratulations.

That Judaism still exists, as Jesus did not meet the standards for the Messiah of that faith, is a good argument against the Christian Yahweh. Not that this in itself isupports, or there is a priori support of the existence of the 'Jewish Yahweh' by extension.
I find it rather odd to assert that the lack of Jewish converts, when in fact there were a huge number, is indicative that Jesus was not the Christ.

Other religions have their own authors coming up with ideas. That’s a weak argument.
I have never personally experienced seeing apologetic books by people from other religions, so I am forced to conclude this is merely an atheistic delusion.

I recommend Sagan's "A demon haunted world" and the Dalai Lama's "The universe in a single atom."
I’m sorry, I don’t think you understand. I am rejecting your argument from experience as a hallucination, and must therefore conclude these books don’t exist.

Maybe I am just a butterfly having a nightmare that I am only just a man or am I only dreaming that you exist... who really knows anything with absolute certainty, after all?
I was mocking the most common opposition to the argument from religious experience which suggests that such experiences are illusionary or delusional.

Aren’t they culturally determined? I don’t generally hear about a little Baptist boy  in Houston hearing the Hindu Gods in heaven speaking Sanskrit.
I suppose I was arguing more from an argument of religious feeling than religious experience. But it does seem that such experiences obviously have some correlation with culture. This is not a strong indicator of anything except that more and more people must be accused of irrational delusions for the materialist to be correct.

So, many people once we’re scared of eclipsed yet even medieval Europeans knew it was just a shadow(of the moon or the Earth).
This is one of two arguments: 1) people were once afraid of eclipses, they were wrong, therefore many people could be wrong now; 2) eclipses are an illusion, therefore other things can be illusions, therefore these are all illusions.
