Because for arguments sake. If Islam where to be the world dominating religion. The issue is, if 400 years after, that another religion would tell you, that if you dont swear loyalty to this religion then you will burn in hell.

So my argument is, its easier to stick to the OG. Original one, since the foundations adds up to begin with. So why fix something that already is there to begin with?

Although the idea of hell doesnt make much sense if you are young, i guess because you have the world ahead of you. But the whole point is to prevent cults or moral bickering in society. So simply having a religion that keeps you in line is why it exists. Sure it wont prevent wars (Rivalry war with England and France is one example of that). But it does give you a peace of mind. That you are atleast part of a bigger group.


But hey hypocrisy will always be a thing. Whether one is atheist or religious. One example is. Saying people will be more moral without religion, but how can you be that if people bicker over what is wrong or right? obviously its to sell politics. Just like the belief in science is different from learning math or understanding how you make cars.
And in the religious hypocrisy (Dont watch porn... "HAH wrong!")


What do i mean by Belief in Science? Well one typical argument is you just get comfortable not knowing so you let authority figures do it for you. Power corrupts afterall.
So lets take cannabis. Often lobbyists or people who wanna defend it says its healthy for you and used in medicine (Yeah so is alcohol. That doesnt mean you should get super exposed to it)
But either case, they will often cite studies of how it has positive effect on your health. But what they neglect is there is also studies of lung cancer related to cannabis.
Now that study is somewhat sceptical because it is shown they mix nicotine elements in it.

My point is. Rather than say "trust the science". Maybe WAIT and see for 20 years and see how those pure cannabis smokers are doing and then conclude?
In other words. Legalizing it i would do in same way that cigarette smokers gets humiliated by, which is "WARNING LUNG CANCER" only way i would legalize it.

But alas thats enough of my rant. What you think?

Wouldn't that be Judaism, or Hinduism, rather than Christianity?

Nah fuck it, there was a time before religions evolved . . . the OG is atheism!

Jews dont believe in hellfire for non loyalists so its less relevant and doesnt sell well. Zoroastrianism would technically be more argued for the inventor of heaven and hell. But same problem. It never said "If you dont believe in Jesus then boom hell". it was more if you were a wicked person you would end up in hell, and if you were a good person then heaven.
Christianity started the "loyalty trend"

But Judaism i tend to compare to Mormonism. Slightly racist belief in a chosen race (Chosen people i mean). Or it has a narcissistic view that ones lineage is chosen by God. So i personally dont get how somebody never sees any problem with that? Considering how close Aryanist belief has this same illusion that being born to a lineage makes you special rather than appreciating someones abilities, and not be so boastful about genetics.


But with Mormonism there is some racist stuff like "People cursed are Black, and people blessed are White". I generally do not get how someone can see this and believe in it. Unless they love Eugenics or something.



But i guess Neo Nazis has more history of being violent. So Jews are painted as less of offenders this way, which is same thing with Mormons, weird shifty beliefs but they generally dont attack people. The only one whom can be compared may be what Zionists does to Palestinians.

I support the legalisation of drugs. I would support Christianity if it actually contained some Christians.

I think that you might need to seek professional help, but not from a priest.

I take it you mean poor people who look out for each other? Atleast it would be the most real elements. Over the established church or rich people being greedy.
Since that was atleast the foundation of it in the older texts. But bigger corporations are eating other corporations up like Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars

I forgot my previous one. You can ban the other one

But if i were to solve the Christianity vs Islam thing. I would just have rock, paper and scissor match between "The Pope" and a "Reveared Muslim guy from Mecca". First to lose converts to winner with said institution(Assuming if majority of followers approve of it). Because the conflicts is ridiculous in my view. And i think i would be proven right no matter who wins to begin with.

I hate wars for sure.
