Anyone here a Muslim? If so question for you...

[Mandalore93]

Would someone please explain to me the logical basis to consider one's own religion superior to that of others? I am legitimately asking as I don't understand how that works. Is it based on statistics regarding education, wealth, and happiness? A view of one's own holy book being superior to another?

Depends what you value. But I don't think my religion is superior. I just think my mother is a good enough example to follow. I've read the Avesta, some Upanishads, the bible, and I like all of those in addition to the Kitab (Baha'i holy book)... I just don't feel a compelling reason to convert.
I've also read the quran and Old Testament, and think they're garbage. In addition, chinese religion focuses on obeying authority, which I don't respect. But I don't care what people believe tbh

Superiority never comes into it. I'm q Baha'i, if other people are different things, I really don't give a damn

Your god was taught to you as the right one from an early age, and any spiritual experiences you've had since have always been in the context of that god. Other gods are just claims of other people with experiences you've never had.

So in other words the experience you've had is always superior to the experience had by others that they describe to you. Nothing logical about it, just human nature.
