You get the idea, if they can't even agree amongst themselves what chance have you got to get them to even consider anything else. The USA has spawned the TV Evangelist who are the direct descendents of the rabble rousing Witch Finders. Some religions that have been the victims of Christian style of tolerance and kindness. Islam Abādites Akhbari Al-Ahbash Black P. Stones Druze Faraizi movement Galibi Order Haruriyyah Ibadi Islamic schools and branches Isma'il ibn Jafar Ismailism Ithihadu Shubbanul Mujahideen Kerala Jamaiiyyathul Ulama Kharijites Mahdavi Muslim unity Najdah ibn 'Amir Nation of Islam Nizari Nuqtavi Mahmoud Pasikhani Qadariyya Qarmatians Qur'an alone Satpanth Schism (religion) Shaykhism Sufri Taharah Tolu-e-Islam Twelver Ubayd Allah al-Mahdi Billah Usuli Vichinthanam Wahhabism Zikri Zindikites‘ Alawi Other World religions - Hinduism Buddhism Sikhism Judaism Baha'i Faith Confucianism Jainism Zoroastrianism Shinto Taoism Wicca Some extinct Religions and traditions (many at the hands of Christian genocidal fanatics)
    3. Each had a different creation story all were seen as heretical by Christianity no debate just death. Akan mythology, Ashanti mythology (Ghana), Dahomey (Fon) mythology, Efik mythology (Nigeria, Cameroon), Igbo mythology (Nigeria, Cameroon), Isoko mythology (Nigeria), Yoruba mythology (Nigeria, Benin), Bushongo mythology (Congo), Bambuti (Pygmy) mythology (Congo), Lugbara mythology (Congo) Akamba mythology (East Kenya) Dinka mythology (Sudan) Lotuko mythology (Sudan) Masai mythology (Kenya, Tanzania) Khoikhoi mythology Lozi mythology (Zambia) Tumbuka mythology (Malawi) Zulu mythology (South Africa) Abenaki mythology Aztec mythology Blackfoot mythology Cherokee mythology Chickasaw mythology Choctaw mythology Creek mythology Crow mythology Ghost Dance Guarani mythology Haida mythology Ho-Chunk mythology Hopi mythology Huron mythology Inca mythology Inuit mythology Iroquois mythology Kwakiutl mythology Lakota mythology Leni Lenape mythology, Longhouse religion, Maya mythology Midewiwin, Navajo mythology, Nootka mythology, Olmec mythology Pawnee mythology Salish mythology Seneca mythology Selk'nam religion Tsimshian mythology Urarina Ute mythology Zuni mythology Bön Chinese mythology Japanese mythology Koshinto Siberian Shamanism Tengriism Estonian mythology Eskimo religion Finnish mythology and Finnish paganism Hungarian folk religion Sami religion Tadibya Australian Aboriginal mythology Austronesian beliefs Balinese mythology Javanese beliefs Melanesian mythology Micronesian mythology Modekngei Nauruan indigenous religion Philippine mythology Anito Gabâ Kulam Polynesian mythology Hawaiian mythology Maori mythology Maori religion Rapa Nui mythology Moai Tangata manu Baltic polytheism Celtic polytheism Brythonic mythology Gaelic mythology Germanic polytheism Anglo-Saxon religion Norse religion Continental Germanic religion Greek polytheism Hungarian polytheism Finnish polytheism Roman polytheism Slavic polytheism And finally some ancient religions and traditions Ancient Egyptian religion Ancient Semitic religions Mesopotamian mythology Arabian mythology (pre-Islamic) Babylonian and Assyrian religion Babylonian mythology Chaldean mythology Canaanite mythology Canaanite religion Hittite mythology Persian mythology Sumerian mythology The Albigensian Crusade, the first of its kind against Europeans and Christians, was formally launched by Pope Innocent III in 1209, ushering in an era of abattoir Christianity in the Languedoc that lasted almost 100 years. We must not forget that for most of the history of Christianity The Pope was and still is by Roman Catholics to be the Vicar of Christ When Béziers was captured in 1209, the Papal Legate, Arnaud Amaury, was asked how the crusaders could recognise the 200 or so Cathars among the mainly Catholic population. \"Kill them all. God will recognise his own,\" he replied - and over 9,000 were slaughtered. So which one of the multitude of religions has a connection with a God? Which is the True religion? Which one is the next to become extinct? And most important which one will be the one doing the killing? Do you just pick one at random and hope for the best. Do you take up the one that your parents follow and hope they got it right. They can’t all be right, but they all claim to be the only true religion and that their god(s) is/are the true god(s), that their
    4. creation stories are true. Every one of these religions have their very own devotees that claim a personal relationship with god, Most have leaders that claim to be gods spokesperson some have devotees that claim they are gods special servant. Some leaders took it a bit further and claimed to be Gods. They all base their ‘faith’ on a threat and a promise (albeit after you die). Most have fanatical devotees that are prepared to die for their faith others are prepared to kill anyone of a different faith. As for teaching our children the biblical creation story as fact only demonstrates the churches fear of free thought, limiting their followers to the very narrow confines of a book that is not so far from the Neolithic. It has neither any right to supremacy over other religions nor any greater veracity. Religions argument against scientific theories or ideas are ultimately self defeating, limiting their almighty gods to simplistic easily digested stories, you would think that any religion worth its salt would grasp scientific advancements and claim them as their own god’s handiwork. Of course this is exactly what some religions do however it generally requires a lot of bloodletting, infighting and schisms before they become accepted, but very seldom universally. It all adds up to tribalism on a global scale, and the survival of the most ruthless, brutal, dictatorial, oppressive, and richest truth be damned religion.
