"Afraid that those other gods you claim didn't exsist just might actually have existed so you have to shroud them in lies?"
Yep, that's pretty much the way it happened. The emerging Catholic Church made a practice of declaring that all Pagan Gods were actually demons. Which was nothing more than yet another pronouncement by a man, who of course claimed it was "from God" and everyone believed him. Well, not everyone, but enough that those who didn't were grossly outnumbered.

One God
[21:21] Have they found gods on earth who can create?
[21:22] If there were in them (the heavens and the earth) other gods beside GOD, there would have been chaos. Glory be to GOD; the Lord with absolute authority. He is high above their claims.
Never Question God's Wisdom
[21:23] He is never to be asked about anything He does, while all others are questioned.
[21:24] Have they found other gods beside Him? Say, "Show me your proof. This is the message to my generation, consummating all previous messages." Indeed, most of them do not recognize the truth; this is why they are so hostile.
One God/One Message/One Religion
[21:25] We did not send any messenger before you except with the inspiration: "There is no god except Me; you shall worship Me alone."
[21:26] Yet, they said, "The Most Gracious has begotten a son!" Glory be to Him. All (messengers) are (His) honored servants.
[21:27] They never speak on their own, and they strictly follow His commands.
The Myth of Intercession
[21:28] He knows their future and their past. They do not intercede, except for those already accepted by Him, and they are worried about their own necks.
[21:29] If any of them claims to be a god beside Him, we requite him with Hell; we thus requite the wicked.

Can They Create a Fly?
73. O people, here is a parable that you must ponder carefully: the idols you set up beside GOD can never create a fly, even if they banded together to do so. Furthermore, if the fly steals anything from them, they cannot recover it; weak is the pursuer and the pursued.
74. They do not value GOD as He should be valued. GOD is the Most Powerful, the Almighty.
75. GOD chooses from among the angels messengers, as well as from among the people. GOD is Hearer, Seer.
76. He knows their past and their future. To GOD belongs the ultimate control of all matters.
77. O you who believe, you shall bow, prostrate, worship your Lord, and work righteousness, that you may succeed.

Because all three are in the bible. The jewish just believe the tora of the bible meaning the first 5 books. Also muslims are an important religion to know about since they are known as the ishmelites in the bible as well. The bible is real and everything that it proclaims is real. Everything else is a hoax. Jesus is Lord.

Because other religions, such as Hinduism have absolutely no evidence to support it. They simply put a flower on a toy and call it "God". It is ancient mythologies and superstitions mainly followed by those who are uneducated.
I'm not saying Christianity, Islam, Judaism don't have faults and contradictions...sure we all do ! ....but those that go soley based on myths is just a completely pointless and mindless religion.

these three faiths come from the same root. still fight each other like hell. seems god left them to fight each other. i feel when they wrote thier scriptures, they had no idea that the world is such a big place, then thier desert. that is the truth.
