Why are most Jews morally superior to most Christians and Muslims?

Question

I'm not even Jewish and it's obvious which of these three groups is the smartest and most compassionate.

Answer 1

I believe that it is because they do their best to adhere to the words in the Torah.

I also believe that your question has nothing to do with politics, that your question is more of your religious bigotry, and that your question ought to be reported as a violation of the Y!A guideline to post your question in the proper group.

Answer 2

The Jewish religion fosters intelligence, but compassionate belongs to Christianity (at present). More than any group in history they have created and contributed more charity than all the others combined.

However, artistic belongs to Islam, as does devotion.
Depth and industriousness to Judaism.

These are qualities they have consistently exhibited throughout the ages, not generalizations about specific individuals. We could safely say that the religions themselves probably fostered these qualities, and with a bit of a stretch we could say they attract people with these qualities to them, as an alternate explanation (which is more applicable to Christianity than the others, as the other two are more race-based than Christianity).

Judaism is the most tolerant of diversity in their ranks ("You're a Jew, I'm a Jew."). Islam is the least tolerant ("Centuries after Mohammed and we're STILL at war with our cousins over who was the rightful inheritor of his authority!")

Are there exceptions? Of course. To argue by exception is silly. We are talking about generalities.

Answer 3

The only thing I know for sure is that Jews have a lower divorce rate than any other group. Even Catholics.
Other than that, and a slight cultural bias toward learning and education. I wouldn't say they are, as a group any more moral than any other similar group.
There are Jewish scholars as well as prostitutes in Israel. Its a country with a group of people like any other.

Answer 4

You don't have to belong to a religion in order to be smart and compassionate. It's inside you.

Catholic.

Answer 5

If you're going to say that, then why are Buddhist morally superior to ALL religions. And I'm not Buddhist either

Answer 6

Because they have a day of atonement each year.

And, really, you should ask this question on the religion board. It's not a politic question.

Answer 7

There's not much difference between those cults. They're all as delusional as rabid wombats.

Answer 8

I never realize how much better that were than everyone else? That is news to me.
