Is it about time that people question the authenticity of the major religions? -

The three 'main' religions, Islam, Christianity and Juadism since their conception have been guilty of the worst crimes against humanity. These crimes were committed, ''in the name of *ins god*''.... Even though they center around the same texts their past actions and fallicity in regards to their attitude toward both one another and other peoples of different beliefs should be more than enough to make people question the very core standing of these teachings...and its not just the people that take up on these beliefs, the doctrines themselves advocate an aggression toward others, one that their followers have in turn taken up on and acted upon.
They have done little next to nothing to better us as a peoples as their teachings are distinctly anti African, reinterpreted versions of our own religions twisted to advocate the destruction of our countries and our way of life.
The leader of the NWBN's was tried and (i belive faulsely) convicted of peadofillia one of the worst crimes a person can commit.... yet the chuch and its clergy have been convicted many times of the same thing and their followers with all the hypocrisy point a finger at the man as well as others who their doctrine informs them are, ''evil''. Islam has terrorised the continent for years and in some places their followers still kidnap, if not outright slaughter, innocent people on the continent for use as slaves all in the name of Allah ... Neither establishment has seen fit to speak out against any of the crimes committed in their name... the church has apologised for their involvement in the Maafa but refuses to act upon that apology and pay repirations, christian countries continue to bludgeon other countries yet the Vatican says nothing... anyone would think that if a drawing or a shabby teddy bear could bring shame on Islam enough to cause a stir then the mass murder of innocent women and children in his name would at least be cause enough for Arab nations to dwell on their morals and put a stop to their crimes.
How many people have to die or suffer at the hands of both Islam and Christian establishments before people question their authenticity? I will get straight at it and say that, it is the religions themselves that are at fault as shown in the mentality of those professing to follow them, one causes the other. If I were to buy a new phone with all the faith in nokia and have it blow up in my ear mid use I might assume a fault in the phone, maybe once or twice, Nokias are an established manufacturer after all, maybe its a surge in the electrics but after three or four incidents I'm likely to draw question on the ability of Nokia to make safe, quality phones.... ones that don't blow up and murder thousands of innocent people, burning villiages and raping women along the way.
So is it about time (after a few thousand or so years) that the major religions question their authenticity?

Why is Judaism more of a MAIN RELIGION than Buddhism?
I think on the basis of population Buddhism would have to win. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of Shintoists outnumber the Jews.
um
Of course I can't have a NORMAL perspective on anything.

"about time...."
where have you been? people have questioned belief systems from the beginning or just ignored them.
i did lo 30 years ago....by doing so i was made sure of God by Him in a strong manner. and i maintain that fact in the face of all opposition. i don't find it strange that people don't want to believe in God.
nor that some people choose to invent themselves a god that fits their wants and desires.
jehovah is a demanding God and all will not follow Him. this was fortold. God still has not taken away free will from man...
religions don't change men,,,they have to want to change...religions only show men what they are and what they can be. some for the better. some for the worst....christianity is a lifestyle not a religion,,,try it you may like it....
If folk who do not have anything to say would refrain from saying it, this would be a better world... J.V.McGee

Have already tried Christianity, didn't work for me, would be interested in reading up on the Coptic church of Ethiopia though. They must have a different understanding of it.
Was more of a late night rant than anything I have to admit.
Buddahism isn't abrahamic umbra, the missing Abrahamic religion is actually Hinduism in my opinion as they belive in Brahma a creator god which is phonetically and almost religiously too close to A-Braham to not be related as Abraham is the ''father'' of the people of the three religions;
Abraham - definition of Abraham by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Brahman - definition of Brahman by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Over 50% of the world adheres to Abrahamic religion, so it would be pretty "major", "popular" (which is what I use), or however you want to say it.

So the Christians and Muslims are FIXATED on the Jews but the Jews are greatly outnumbered by Hindus and Buddhists.
There are so many Christians because the Euro-Christians failed to practice Christianity and did a Jihad on most of the world.
Ghandi nailed the Christians:
"I think it would be a good idea!"
* In reply to a reporter who asked "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

Are not all three religions related?
If we do not have an accurate analysis of the problem, we cannot possibly develop a good strategy to resolve it.

Christianity and Islam both derive a lot from Judaism but European Christianity has a lot more Roman and other European paganism than they ever admit. There is that minor inconvenience of JC being Jewish.
Are Catholic nuns similar to the Vestal Virgins of Rome?
Easter comes from Esther, some German goddess.
Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after spring equinox. Why do you suppose it varies by as much as 5 weeks? What sense does that make?

There are probably books and books about the amount of paganism in European Christianity but they are for the religious scholars not the peons that are supposed to BELIEVE.
