And you know what? So were literally thousands of other religious/ethnographic groups at the time! But we never hear about them because the Jews were the lucky ones that happened to survive when those other ones (that no one knows/cares about now) didn't.
There's even a term for this failure in logical thinking: survivorship bias. Both Juidaism and Christianity survived, when hundreds of other groups didn't, but you don't hear about those groups so you make incorrect assumptions about the survivors.

This is wrong. You need to read some history. If you think everything you disagree with only survived due to luck, that is just nonsense. There is obviously something people liked about the Bible that transcends luck, otherwise civilizations for over a thousand years wouldn't have based their entire culture around it. Or are you suggesting all cultures are purely created by luck, and people have no agency in determining the worth of something?
