It doesn't. It amounts to one claim as distinct from a couple of dozen wrong and contradictory ones. Look, chum, you can 'umm what..' until your ass drops off but it's quite clear to others that you are starting with monumental faith -based bias and looking round for all sorts of reasons why your belief is better. none of which reasons actually work.

Not just him. The believers truly think that the miracles of the religion they believe are more significant than equally good miracles in other religions that they don't believe.

I always think it's amusing to hear the Christians saying that Christianity is better than Islam because it has an illegitimate son of the deity who was killed and turned into a zombie. They do not get it when I say that's precisely the reason Islam says Christianity has to be wrong.

Maybe, but we are talking about the Bible.

Yes. We are. And Jesus is the common theme.

Except that it doesn't compare. It's a collection of ramblings of a thug mad man who claimed god spoke to him. Doesn't compare to 66 different books, with different authors over a long period of time.
