well thanks for the complement but I have seen rude Jews and nice Christians and Atheists on this site.
So I personally would not generalize (it might be also because their are so few Jews on this site compared to Christians and Atheists)

In theory, Jews have been around longer and have dealt with more crap than Christians and Muslims. There have always been atheists, but if you are atheistic, than you really don't believe in being "godly". Also, besides for a few in Israel, there aren't a lot of Jewish Extremists trying to create the next world war while disregarding everyone else's points of view.

Well unlike the Christians the Jews don't believe that people who believe something different will burn in hell forever and deserve that. But about the atheists I have to say they also don't believe in hell and so should not have a reason to behave like the Christians. I am myself atheist and I really don't like what some atheists post here. Probably they suffered from religious pressure and are angry because of this.

It is my opinion, that it is one of perspective. Jews for an eternity have believed they were the chosen ones, and it is in their culture. In fact it has been in their culture so long that 2000 years ago when they were told that they were chosen not because of who they are but as the recipient of a job (which they were not doing) and if they continued not doing that job they would be at least temporaroly unchosen, they were largely incapable of hearing the message from the Chooser.
Note the answer about prostylitizing is from a Jew. yet scripture directs them to do just that, and as for Christians remember there are 2 groupes of them and the group I am in have all been very sociable with you.

Well, they're obviously more godly than us atheists!
Why are you being so hurtful? Snif, snif... I'm always pleasant aren't I?
Okay, I've been a little sarcastic today. And yesterday. The before I was... Just a tiny bit sarcastic. The day before that -- yep, I was sarcastic.

They are the Chosen People.
Not exactly sure what they were chosen for because they seem to experience so much travesty through the ages but, hey, everyone is jealous of a smart, good looking persons with money.

They are probably less fanatical and Jews tend to think more than Christians. Their religion requires it. Christianity is just the opposite.

Perhaps. I guess if you take the Old Testament literally (and a lot of people do) they are the chosen people. By the reckoning of that book there is no room for paradise for anyone else.
Perhaps all the Christians and Muslims are bitter as they sub-consciously know that they are all heathens who are going to Old Testament hell.

No. There is a simple reason for this:
All groups have some small percentage of ignorant jerks. Larger groups have a larger number of these people. It doesn't mean that any group is better than another--it's just the size.

They've been around a long while and have already said just about all there is to say on these subjects.
It's not so much being pleasant as being pleasantly amused.
