For the avoidance of doubt, my interpretation of that verse "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" is as follows:
"In the beginning of Man's creation of God was the idea of the most powerful deity conceivable, and that was the Abrahamic God."
There is no God more powerful than the Abrahamic God, is there? It is in fact impossible to conceive of a more powerful God than the Abrahamic God.
If we wish to worship a deity, then it would be rational to worship the most powerful deity with the most clearly stated laws in the most accessible scripture. That would be the Koran.
If we wish to worship the most powerful deity as Jews, then we must convert to Judaism.
If we wish to worship the most powerful deity as gentiles, then we must submit to Islam.
Since Islam is "Judaism Lite", it would be more rational to submit to Islam, if we are not quite sure of God's existence since Islam requires a lower standard of observance than Judaism and Muslims are the majority. In short, it is easier to be Muslim than an observant Jew.
Christians have been guilty of idolatry for 2000 years and need to be reminded that if God has taken the trouble of forbidding idolatry, you can be sure that He will punish it. Observing the failure of Christianity in the West and its growing weakness and corruption, it would appear that idolatry is its own punishment.
