Moses, Jesus, Muhammed - got three books from the almighty. People on that time carried the witnesses of those incidents happened in front of those great men. Still u think there is nothing beyond this world, c'mon ppl. Just have a think, there is surely something/someone over there, can't it be?

These same people once thought the Earth was flat. Only idiots refuse to change.

Actually, all that demonstrates is that humanity, for the most part, is under the influence of gullibility, irrationality, willful ignorance, self-deception, self-delusion, intellectual dishonesty, hypocrisy and drooling stupidity... and that only a SMALL segment of humanity is capable of exercising rationality and critical thinking skills.
Why do you think it is that less than 5% of elite scientists profess any sort of 'religious' belief? Why do you think it is that in the New Testament epistles, the apostles instruct their new recruits not to bother selling their snake-oil to 'the wise'?
Your question invokes a 'logical fallacy' (flaw in thinking' known as the 'Appeal to Popularity'. Just because lots of people believe something, does not make it right. In biblical times, everybody believed that the world was flat, and that the sky was a solid crystalline dome, with 'heaven' on the other side of it. Were they right? In fact, that is the 'universe' that is described in Genesis... and it USED TO BE the inviolable, holy, divine TRUTH. But... when it was discovered that this was NOT the 'truth', apologists waved their arms and what was once inviolable, holy, divine TRUTH was magically transformed into 'metaphor' and 'allegory'.
Now, along come christians, believing that a cosmic Jewish zombie, who is his own father, can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced, by a talking snake with legs, to eat a piece of fruit from a magical tree... (etc.)... and that there is something horribly wrong with people who ARE NOT so gullible and droolingly stupid as to believe such outrageously ridiculous codswallop.
Well... that is just plain insane.

Right and pretty much those three groups are contradictory; not to mention lacking in evidence. There are about 4 Billion people that believe in other gods, so should I really go with the biggest group or the one with the most evidence that it is actually real?
Hmm, no evidence for any of them.

Three books engineered as a point of reference in order to establish dominion over a poor and uninformed population. Fortunately we are neither.
Yo, given the momentous lives of Jesus and Moses don't you find it a little surprising that there aren't any eyewitness accounts other than these 'holy' books?

I've had a think about it like you asked and it's still a crappy made up fairystory that I won't be believing in! I once saw Paul Danielles (magician) make Debbie McGee disappear and then reappear. Two thousand years ago they would have said that she really disappeared. Now, thanks to education and common sense, we are not so easily fooled and report what we see as what it is not what we are told it is!

Well ****, i guess if Three HUGE groups of Human Civilization believe it. I must be retarded not to eh? You know that a massive percentage of Humanity used to believe that the Sun revolved around the Earth too.

Nope. The whole world thought the world was flat at one time too.
Hinduism is older than all the abrahamic faiths and you don't see me praying to ganesh, either.
Zeus used to throw thunder bolts at the naughty humans, too. I don't cower during thunder storms because I think I've irked him by not riding on his back when he turned into a white bull, either.

Ya don't suppose that getting your head cut off for not believing, had anything to do with the size of some of these groups do you?

Many people also at one time believed the earth was flat.
According to your thinking, there surely must be a flat earth.
