So, after the terror Israel's worst peacetime disaster, I noticed that in both religions, the majority of deaths are male.

Nor coherent it seems.

Well, sure, but what's your take on left-handed screwdrivers?

Both are patriarchal.

That may be true however the answer is both are monotheistic.

Christians believe in the Trinity that is the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Jews and muslims believe in God as a single being.

Some definitions of the word "monotheistic" claim that Christians, Jews and muslims all believe in God as a single entity. That's not correct.

You don’t understand the Trinity if you think it means there are three Gods.

God in three persons. Not three gods.

My response referred to God as a single entity. The Trinity is not a single entity.

More clearly, this is what I meant:

Is the Trinity one person or three?

Trinity, in Christian doctrine, the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead. The doctrine of the Trinity is considered to be one of the central Christian affirmations about God.

You seem to say here God is not a single entity.

The biggest similarity is that they both hate ribs.

Imagine the peace on earth if Jew and Muslims sat down to share a plate of ribs…

Yes, men and women tend not to mix, certainly not in Islam and among the more orthodox Jews.

I think you have confused the type of meat with the animal. Beef ribs are OK its the pork ribs that are not good for you.

But this is another similarity between the two religions

My problem is that some who would throw a bomb into a children’s coming of age ceremony should not be able to call themselves religious at all.
