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

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.

I agree that what were originally peaceful religions like Christianity and Islam, people have perverted to now be what people fight wars over. The self righteous nature of these religions, have allowed people to take advantage and push their agenda in the name of God. I have read the Bible, and if you just pay attention to the Gospels, the actually part were Jesus talks, you'd never have a war in the name of Christianity, but because the religion tells you, you are good all others are evil, then people have taken that and now use it to push their wars, their evil.

I never said that. Of course, Christianity and Islam are followed by all people throughout the world. I'm talking about the origins of those religions.
Of course, symbols and figures were made to look like the people they were trying to convert such as Guadalupe did in order to make it easier for the Spanish to convert people when they started gaining control of the Americas.

I've said it before. Every god is designed by man. You wanna follow someones comic book character, your loss. That being said, holy books are great, but only if you follow them in the allegorical sense. I'd say the bible holds the same value as something like "The Secret", only people really believe in a zombie son a space being, dying for our sins.
