Nazis were christian.
Well...that's a stretch. Both extremes of the political spectrum, fascist on the right and commie on the left, worship the state above all else. With Islam, religion and the state are the same, so the state is also worshiped.
If you hate religion so much, you should study it, so you can become a more effective debunker. You'll need to read the old & new testaments, as well as the koran.
Did Theology, read the Quran... had religion class before they got removed from the education system.
Everyone I know who followed religion or a political ideology suffered more than it did good. Some took religion and it saved their lives... but the system... just destroyed lives.
I remember.... Priest saying if you get an abortion you'll be banished, women should not get jobs cause its for ''men'', divorce is not allowed otherwise you'll be excommunicated (so dead in the eyes of society), money should go to your church etc... Lasted well until the 1970.
Now Church makes good concert hall, library or museum
Where I live we banned Christianity of our lives because they dragged us down and the State replaced it.
In the end, they just political stuff made to ''push against'' others.
What made the Western world be able to separate itself from religion as a whole ? It was the World War and a strong political leadership built over centuries of war
The middle-eastern had strong political leadership but they were caught in a struggle of balance of power..... 1) Arabs are divided 2) They have 3 religions 3) Persians are not arabs 4) Israel and the Western world will do everything to dismantle the Mid-East
Why point4? Last time the Middle-East was united we had the Arabic Islamic Empire.. which went from Mid-East to Austria crossed Africa into France (Spain was muslim)... than the Ottoman Empire.
Asia (russia, china, iran) could use it to push the ''realist balance of power''
There are no difference between Christianity and Islam.... they both came from the same spot after all and in similar context of war.... They are just 600 years appart... making Islam more ''open and modern''.... too bad the actors now are behaving more backward and with legitimacy.
Why more open and modern? Sure the Quran is garbage like the Bible, but in the Quran they state women have right of divorce and wealth equality to man, also that they don't have to cover their head.... Basically, everything we attack the ''islamic'' for.... are not even in the book.....
Islam brought Christianity its theological revolution/renaissance because Islam kept the Greek records while Christians were burning it (St-Augustin, Aquinas, Prostantism, Holy Trinity)
Christianity is our cultural heritage but remember how much we upgrown it.... remember if Christianity was strong like before.... Websites like DJ would be illegal
About Obama.... since Obama came in power... its the first time since Reagan the US is not a laughing stock of the world... but politics is like religion.... no fact... just emotions.
Also the USA is now considered to be the place cause the economy is doing great compared to us Canadian or Europe.
Time has affected not the system but its factors.... Like Islam said: Christians and Jews are our brother... let's hug them and show them the Islam way.... Jihad is internal war, a war of the soul.
As a profound atheist, guy who dated girls of all religions and diverse ethnicity and travelled the world.... People are not different from one and another, 90% of people don't practice their ''paper religion'' and there are nut case everywhere who will cause act that hurt people because they have ''no more reasons to live, hurt, crazy etc''
If we put fire on the oil... the fire will get bigger and than you will institutionalize it... making it ''Fair to act violently''
As my teacher once said.... if you want women right or democracy to emerge in the third-world.... don't force it in their through... let them do it at their own space.... look what happened in Irak, Afghanistan, and every other countries a ''stranger'' came with guns..... it always got worse.
Remember in the Arab world.... before Khaddafi, Hussein, Al-Assad.... their countries had basically 10% literate rate.... now its over 90%.... they modernized the place ''arab way''... until the West decided to send them back to the middleages... by doing so... we killed innocents...innocents asking for vengeance and alot of ''refuge or immigrants'' that are being pushed back with nothing
