There's not enough space on the server .. if you want evidence, then have a look at this and that for starters.. :)

It's only your belief that the history of Abrahamic religion is concocted or deluded.

In my understanding, the "only" path to salvation is belief in monotheism .. the authority of G-d. Different groups/creeds might claim that their way is the only way, but this relies on their interpretation.

Yes .. that is the Orthodox views .. they both interpret their Scriptures in this manner. ..but then, Judaism does not recognize either of them. ..and atheism rejects the lot!

Well, we have to live in any system that we find ourselves a part of. :) I, for one, do not endorse slavery. Nevertheless, I do not think my faith forbids taking prisoners in exceptional circumstances .. but they need to be fed properly, and kept in suitable shelter.. ..and there are many in...

"slavery" begins with 's', and not 'R' ;) Orthodox faith does not promote slavery .. it discourages it .. while not outright banning it, as it could lead to disadvantage to those already in service. The pious are well aware that the owning of people is highly questionable, and only acceptable...

That was just an example.. If one doesn't know basic theology i.e. the orthodox view, then I don't see how one can have a valid opinion about the subject at all . In other words, without Orthodoxy, there is nothing to compare against. ..and we need a good reason for veering off the path (of...

I think it more a case of you choosing to "waste your time" doing what you wish.

Your reality, perhaps.

Very good.. I think cases of "denial" come under psychology. 😑 "give us the evidence" suggests to me that atheists want to deflect the topic away from study of Divinity, to "show me God and then I'll listen to you". Of course, they know that is not going to happen, so they can continue to...

Creeds have roots .. and have evolved through time into different groups/sects. eg. there were no Protestants before the Reformation

There has to be a "default" position .. a common belief of the majority, perhaps. Some scholars don't like that, as they think it's dangerous due to human error/desire. ..but I think that it depends on the intentions of the one trying to understand. ..so it's OK up to a point.

ALL evidence requires rigorous examination .. empirical evidence is subject to error too, often due to statistical manipulation.

Observation of what?? ..not people, as far as you're concerned .. because you discard what they have to say (about the Divine). ..so your only concern is with this material world, despite the fact that more than half believe that the material world is not the sum total of all that is. ..and...

I think that's true to some extent, but then we should not narrow down our sources to much. Knowledge can come from many different directions, and evaluating a text should be done in conjunction with other texts and considerations .. IMO. Yes, I believe in the "scientific method" approach to...
