Let's talk about Religion

[tstone]

Yeah I guess the Arabs in North Africa/Middle East just appeared their and the indigenous peoples magically dissappeared

You think the Natives of North African genocided themselves and gave up their religions, then enslaved themselves by their own accord

1200yrs Arabs enslaved Blacks, thats 3 times that of the Europeans.


I guess the battle of tours was gonna be trade too

What genocide? the North Africans that where up there during the arrival of Islam, were not African of a darker complexion like sub-sarahan africans, but berbers that have a eurasian origin, and the population today still exist. The population of North Africa makes up less than 8% of the muslim world population. Like I said before it does not compare with what the europeans did. Look at these large muslim countries in the world and look at the official languages, were do you see the arab colonization in them.

Indonesia - Indonesian
Nigeria - English, Hasua, Igbo, Yoruba
Senegal - French, Wolof
Mali - French, Bambara
Gambia - English, Mandika, Fula

Is there any else out there who has researched religion and found they all have some kind of relationship/connectivity. With that in mind, anyone else think religions started off as one big thing then branched off to everything we have today?

I get confused with it. Like, I believe in a higher power, but don't know what

isnt it fair to say you only feel this way because you havent rejected christianity all the way

like when i see someone say this, all i can think is that they know christianity is bullshyt, but cant let all the way go of the fable

now there could absolutely be a higher power who am i to say there isnt. my ass doesnt know. but if it doesnt come with some evidence then there's no point in speculating what it is, or frankly, worrying about it at all

This is the point I've come to. I don't even think about or speculate anymore, it is what it is
