"And whether Christian or Islamic, the defenders of the respective faiths are equally convinced of the "truth" of what they were taught as children."

Truth, isn't that a fact or reality subject to observation and examination by reason?

The claims of various religions are subject to that scrutiny. Of all the religions I've heard of, only one consists of the teachings of a man that claimed he was the human form of God Himself. The others are all the teachings of men. My own scrutiny has found them all to be fabrications, because they are logically flawed and the preponderant deity(s) is a petty tyrant.

Jesus claimed He was God and thus, it is only Him, His teachings, that one looks at to scrutinize. Since He is God, it is also only Him that can tell anyone who the God of the Old Testament is. I have found that Jesus is a libertarian and His teachings are w/o logical error. That leads me to believe He is who He said He is. Do you have an example where He contradicts Himself, or displays He has some nature of a tyrant?

You will notice that the word "truth" was in quotes.

That was not accidental.
