What is the most ethnically superior religion?

it most certainly does, not only does abraham marry his half sister sarah but both his daughters get him drunk and then get impregnated by him for one example.
30 Now Lot went up out of Zoar and mlived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters. 31 And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.” 33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 34 The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.” 35 So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 36 Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. 2nHe is the father of the Moabites to this day. 3oHe is the father of the Ammonites to this day. Genesis 19
Another would be moses father amram who married his aunt jochbed. also tamar who was amnons half sister and as for cannabalism see below
who metaphorically uses cannabalism? and why was it put into context in such a way in the first place? one does not need to eat someones flesh and drink someones blood for any reason of advancment or becoming closer to god.
Now for someone else saving us other than ourselves...
all three of these show that the solution to our saving isnt in our own hands and that we are waiting for someone else to lead us to it or be the only reason we could have it. no work done on our part.

It is still the ultimate truth whether I believed it or not. One without Faith in Christ, what good are they to themselves or any one else? No Faith, no hope, without God, lost, dead... that is the only alternative. Who would choose that if they were once enlightened by the Holy One from Heaven as I have been? And how would I expect you to possibly comprehend that if you aren't also? I hope you are one day...

What if the father is something you should stay away from ?.The OT suggests that the father is unreliable in delivering on his promises.

That's a lie of course. Whoever told you that was probably a diest? And what would a diest know of Holy Writ?

God calls it assuredness, boldness, conviction... pride has nothing to do with it. You can tell "pride". Pride is when a person has been told the Gospel of Jesus Christ and rejects Him and will die as a result. That is pride my friend.

has the Right to be wrong
Did I not write that this part of the New Testament can be construed as such?
The best answer from credible theologians simply states, that the 'Last Supper' and the command Jesus gave His followers is a mystery, it can not be defined.
Have you ever heard the phrase: "I love you to bits" ? Is that one saying it, a cannibal or someone deeply in love with one other? In spirituality it is quite common to use metaphors to explain a concept. To this day, Christians simply break bread and some wine to commemorate the 'Last Supper' .

Since I don't believe any is morally superior than the others, I am unable to participate in the vote.
As far as basic ethical concerns go, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam share roughly the same ethical principles: Namely to treat others justly and kindly.
I'm not a Christian because Christianity is a superior ethical system. One doesn't need to be religious to have a decent ethical system, let alone Christian. The idea that Christianity is a morally superior ethical system either involves a fundamental misunderstanding about what the Christian religion is or a gross amount of hubris.

Yes of course, thank you for asking;
(Act 9:29) preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.
(Act 14:3) Long time therefore they tarried there speaking boldly in the Lord, who bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
(Eph 6:19) and on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
(Heb 13:6) So that with good courage we say, The Lord is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do unto me?
(Col 2:2) that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, even Christ,
(1Th 1:5) how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.
(Php 1:14) and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
(1Co 15:58) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
(Heb 2:2) For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
(Heb 2:3) how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;
(Heb 6:19) which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
(1Pe 5:8) Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,
(1Pe 5:9) whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.
(1Pe 3:15) but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:

And he was sent/went away(9:30). The take away is don't annoy people.Confidence is NOT good.
And they were stoned and fled away(14:6). same lesson as above.
The apostle needed a collective prayer to enable him to speak boldly. The takeaway is don't do it yourself.
Oh, men can do many things.
Let us go back a bit and see heb 13:05 God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.
confidence in 13:6 is based on assurance in 13:5 . And we know the father did forsake the son (Matt 27:46).
So, I say the confidence is misplaced.
I don't wish to go the rest of the quotes.

It doesn' matter what you say. Your opinion means nothing. You just made a miserable attempt to make the Word of God of none affect. Jesus dealt with such kind. I can confidently say that you appear to be one of these:
(Mar 7:13) Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
To make up silliness as you go, and attempt to pass that off as meaningful communication, is pathetic.

Opinion supported by evidence always mean something.Declarations don't mean anything.
Hmmm,,You chose to quote something that is going to be very umcomfortable. I read chapter mark 7 and found the context.
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
What is the take away here. Don't wash your hands before eating food like Jesus's disciples did ?.
and then 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
Children who curse their parents shall be put to death ?.
I am kind of silly that I wash my hands ,like everybody else.I don't think that is pathetic. Do you ?.

Christianity would rank last as God does not care about what is important to men.
Luke_16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
