Religion is simply a product

[Acquisitor]

I posted this in another topic but lets discuss it here.

Religions are a retarded product from the past, while they do spill poison minds today, the influence of Judaism and Christianity is on a decline, Islam is still growing.

As every product there is a life cycle, which you can find below.

So imo, Judaism is the oldest religion and is in severe states of decline right now. While most if not all jews were religious some time ago, today most don't care about the Torah or Shabbat etc,
Jews stopped killing each other based on religion thousands of years ago

Christianity has peaked a couple of 100's of years ago and is on a decline, Europe is mostly free from that idiocy, the US is seeing Christianity on a decline as well, while there could be modest rise in Latin America, Russia and Africa (poor regions), this rise is surely not enough to compensate for the loss of the followers of the crusified narcissist.

Islam is still growing, the religion is still quite young, its difficult to pinpoint its place on the chart, but there are signs of early deterioration of this religion in some countries which are officially islamic, yet people are "tempted" to try forbidden fruits more and more while remainig muslim on "paper". The biggest problem with islam imo is that religious wars between different versions of this religion have yet to peak.

people who follow any of these worthless products from the past: face it, your religion is a product which you were born into. You were a baby when the product was sold into you, at a very high price, it replaced your inner self. While the product is "free", in reality it costs a lot.

also keep in mind that rise and decline is never a straight line as shown in the chart, there are always rallies and dips, the chart simply indicates the trend.

Judaism and Islam are thriving (in that there are remnants of its orthodoxy flourishing with adherents)...one is just missing its temple, the other its caliphate. Zionism represents judaism as much as the Islamic republic of Iran represents Islam.

Christianity on the other hand, is the one in trouble, where any part of its dogma can be relinquised just like that, if the Vatican has another council who knows, maybe this time homosexuality will no longer be a sin? or women can become priests or whatever else Ceaser wants rendered. I wont even bother with evangelicals.

That's what Commies think between others, bro

And they hate Jews. That's why you see North Koreans, Chinese, Russians, Cubans, Venezuelan Chavezists supporting Iran against holy Israel.

They believe that as long as Jews won't be erased, no Communal lifestyle can be set up.
Commies view in Jews a drug-inventing, dangerous people. They refer to Jews as "global capitalism".

Actually Jews invented Communism, but it got out of control later, the drug.


Judaism isn't in decline. Pretty much the other way around.
You had 200 religious maximum, when Israel was founded.
Now you have entire neighborhoods making Techuva (repent) in Israel and adopting Kosherite ways.
Gays and Liberals are leaving Jerusalem for Tel Aviv. Women who dare to sit next to men in Jerusalem public transports are beaten up.

You had even Jewish women in Burqa around Beyt Shemesh.
Rabbis defeated Secular mainstreamers.


Actually, Wadaad is right.
Judaism and Islam are thriving. Christianity experiences more difficult times, out of the three.

EXACTLY! besides it was Muslims who killed Dracula not Christians so everytime when there is a movie of vampire hunters defend themselves against vampires with crosses is stupid

Judaism is not thriving at all, percentage of religious practicing jews vs the entire jewish population is on a severe decline worldwide, the only thing that is thriving is the orthodox minority in Israel, but steps are being taken to limit its growth.

traditional judaism has lost millions of followers worldwide.

Islam is thriving yes.

Religion is just a tool of mind control but at the same time it provides psychological comfort and peace.

Thing is, human stupidity seem to never have an end. With the fall of one religion, a new one rises. Like today in the West, most of the native populations may be atheist/agnostic or of very moderate beliefs, but they adopt new cult-like beliefs in forms of multiculturalism and extreme feminism and exclude any member of society who shows lack of faith. It's almost like religion never disappears, it only changes shape.

You seem to be one of the more enlightened Muslims on this forum, tell me what exactly are your qualms with Zionism as a political philosophy? I personally feel Zionism is merely the politicization of Judaism's yearning to return to its motherland- Y'Israel. In of itself it is a legitimate yearning, and whilst when put into practice there have been minor hiccups it is by and large been a very successful project. However, the crucial error of Zionism was its refusal to incorporate the Palestinians into the fold of Hashem, ie- converting them to Judaism. The supposed Naqba has been embellished by certain Arab leaders, but it does still point out a fundamental weakness in Israel's initial approach to the Palis.

Another thing is without religion they will lack complete morals and integrity.

The other problem is that there is many people who claimed they have visited Heaven
