Is one religion more plausible than all the others?

Serious question here guys.
I'm trying to understand why exactly Muslims/Mormons/Christians/Jews/etc. all inherently believe that their religion is is more plausible than the others.
Especially these four religions, since they all believe in and worship the same deity, however, all claim that the others are either missing something, or diluted/misguided.
Also, what makes Judaism, or Christianity, or Hinduism, or any modern religion more plausible than, say, Greek mythology?
Healthy and robust discussion and dialogue is encouraged.

I believe in hedonism.
It's just a bunch of stories like children's books, all made up with a silly character.
Zeus is NOT silly.
(That's a joke. And it's one of the things that makes me crazy about religion - the whole idea that one is better than the other. Whatever works for you, that's what I think. It's YOUR business, not mine. Be whatever you want to be. Or be an atheist.)
I think you've got a good point about Greek mythology. Why should that be considered different?
How can there be so many different religions and gods and each one of them are considered "the right one" to them. Obviously there can only be one right?
Or even more obvious, if they're all right, then obviously theyre all fake.

(What family and culture are they born into and do they stay with it or move to something else to get away?)
The choice doesn't seem rational but emotional instead.
On the contrary, I think people choose Mormonism because it's the truth, and all the other religions because Satan tricks those people.

And yet, you clicked on a clearly marked religion thread instead.
Maybe god sent you here. Too bad he won't be sending Boston to the World Series anytime soon.
I wish he'd send the Oilers to the Stanley Cup final....hell even the play-offs would be a start
Yeah, my team needs a little divine intervention right now.
You wish you'd started the Hipster Kitty thread. Leave the jealousy at Fenway. Lord knows there's plenty there to go around.
But hey, at least they're not the Mariners, right?
He is the all powerful and only true supreme taco being.

Epic pwnage. Touche.
i've always thought the bible should be stored in the fiction section next to the quran.
What's funny is, a lot of young atheists love to bash the Bible, but bashing the Qu'ran offends the shit out of them.
Disingenuous pansies.
I agree with 81, they're both full of antiquated fables IMO.
i miss those days.
it looks better at sentencing day if you self report
