Post Why should be other religions inferior to Abrahamic ones?

Maybe it was posted before.

It came across my mind. Are Abrahamic religions truly the ones which are holding on the real thruth?

When all of them are based on faith in divine powers or better something beyond us. So I think that it depends on everyone whether you want to have gods or God or believe in other principles or divine powers.

Faith depends on believing and therefore you have to believe in such things to see a sense in why you are doing so.

Or is Abrahamic God better than Odin, Zeus, The God of Sun, etc?

We happened to have been born in a time when the Abrahamic religions are popular. If we'd been born in the time and place of Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and the rest of the cast of that Greek godly-soap-opera, then we'd be worshipping them instead. One's religious preference is trivial, accidental, the result of cultural influences. We simply haven't grown out of it yet.

True. Most people follow the religion they were brought up in. I wonder if this provokes thought in many people? I wonder if very many people question their own faith? Are they too afraid to ask why it is they believe what they do?
Without doing so it cannot be expected that any person, from any religion, will appreciate other belief systems.

I was clearly wondering what other people think about superiority of Abrahamic religions.

If you have anything more to say, please, say it.

Well, being a Hindu I obviously do not consider Abrahamic faiths to be superior. After all, Hindus believe that they are the first religion and that all religions have stemmed from India. That is partly why they consider all religions to be branches of Sanatan Dharma and believe that every path holds truth (just not the absolute truth).

Even though I do not believe in existence of any superior religion. I think that this point of view is not completely against my mind. It just sounds reasonably.

Doesn't this go back to the OP, only with changing the word 'Abrahamic' with 'Hinduism'?

Perhaps. I'm sure that everyone thinks their own belief is superior. That is after all why they believe it.

We can make our own set of beliefs and believe them as superior ones. Everyone´s beliefs are superior to his own self. I would think.
