Sanders' Religion Thread, Begun @ LC Forum Options

[Sanders]

e-Dog and I have decided to re-constitute this from LC. It is a thread about the 3 major religions of the world. The goal was to follow the path of each from their common origins to the present day. We (a number of LC posters and I) got as far as the begining of the First Crusade while the thread was active.

What becomes of this thread when all the copying is done is not clear. It may be just a read-only thread for the Religion topic. Or it may be left open to posting, so we can finish the journey.

if we're really gonna get t the nitty gritty of it all 3 sects of the abrahamic religions can be traced back to babylon and zoroastor (who is also a prophet btw, also know as zarathustra). it was his brand of religion that setup the initial ideas of a heaven, hell, angels, judgement day, etc. and yaweh was a originally a god of wind. but yes the three sects are quite similar, with judeaism being the opressive controlling, wealth obsessed core. christianity being the 'light' version that centers power in the church, and then islam which is also split between shiite and sunni one thats as oppressive as judaism, minus the wealth, plus women hatred and the other has the same only adding in violence as a way of glorifying god.
