Isn't it funny and ironic that in nearly every religious text...

...the holiest person of that faith is the same race/ethnicity as the authors of scripture itself?

- Jews wrote the Bible (Old Testament and the Gospels) and, lo and behold, Abraham, Isaac, King David and even Jesus himself were all Jews.

- Islam, originating in the Arab world, has Muhammad as its holiest prophet. Is he European or Chinese? No, he's an Arab.

- Buddhism, a religion originating in India, has their holiest figure Siddhartha Gautama, who goes by the rap alias of Da Buddha. His ethnicity is.....guess...................INDIAN!!!!!!! SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOCKING!!!!!!!!!

Those are just the three main religions of the world. I could go more into detail, but you get the point. I could make this Exhibit D of why organized religion would have an extra chromosome if it were human, but I won't.

Now I am waiting for someone to come in here and defend their religion of choice and claim that their faith is right and everyone else's is wrong.....you know, basicially the same shit that has been occurring since human civilization and probably the main thing holding the human race back from achieving more.

LOL

Whenever I have religious discussions with OTHERS, they automatically jump the gun and start saying I'm an atheist n shit just because I don't believe in the concept of God that society shoves down our throats. I'm just honest with myself when I say I don't know what the fuck is out there and who the fuck made it possible. It's too bad everyone else needs a manipulative fairy tale just so they can cope with life.

Actually, what we see as Americans may seem like that, but religion, at least in the Jewish based religions, Jewish, Christian and Islam, is highly diverse.

The top 4 populations for Islam is actually centered on India and South East Asian. 207,000,000 people in Indonesia, 167,000,000 are in Pakistan (actually more Indian than Middle Eastern like we would like to think), 156,000,000 are actually in India and 132,000,000 are in Bangladesh. In total, 695,000,000 Muslims are in South, and South East Asia, were are 512,000,000 Muslims in the Middle East, North Africa and East Africa (I widen the area even though most of it isn't actually the Middle East)

In Catholicism, the founder was Jewish(though his made out to be European in pictures), but the majority of the people that follow Catholicism are from Latin America, as 434,000,000 of the 1billion Catholics are from Latin America and Mexico.


So due to different events in the globe (colonization, slavery) religion has spread to diversify some, but to say people follow "holy people" that look that them is wrong.

Its all a tool to gain control of people who can be taken control of. Fear tactics at its best. And its easier to get people to follow someone who looks like them. Wierd, but true.
