I Am Fascinated By Science, Religion, and Philosophy

Here's an interesting thought. We associate Christianity with the West. They've basque in it's glory and transformed it as a foundation or basis of their daily lives. It has become a dynamic element in the history of the West.

This concept of Christianity is borrowed from the Middle East, where it first came into existence. Jesus was a Middle Eastern man, born and bred in the Middle East. Even the God that Christians believe and pray to - is a God of the Middle East. He chose to reveal himself and his miraculous mighty power and miracles "only" to people of the Middle East.

If Christians can believe and taken in concept and foundation of beliefs of the East. Why are they hostile to the populace of beleaguered countries of the East when they seek refuge. The father of Abrahamic religion was not a White European man, he was an inhabitant and native of the East.

When I explain this concept to my parents, they're often bewildered and hush me up. I'm not religious but the behaviour of some religious people fascinate me.

Hey, we will take your God, adopt his teachings and apply his philosophy to make us holier than thou Middle East. But we refuse to accept you and your way of life.

You generalize with your thinking on this subject.

Most people that live in what you call the WEST, very few do practice a religion. The rate of West people going regular to a church of any sector are in the decline. It ain't cool to go to or follow a religion.
Look up the numbers, they are few. More follow the religion of LOOK AT ME!!! Facebook is full of the church LOOK AT ME, with my pouted lips.

The Facts

1. They all follow the same God.

The difference is in the rituals and practice. The Jewish, Christian and Muslim, use the Old Testament. The New Testament is only Christian.

They all teach love, to be kind, to be humble. If they deviate from teaching love, then they don't constitute the reason for their existence.

Man has EGO, when man uses his Ego, then love is not taught. The EGO of man has turned us against each other, we argue and disagree.

So do you use your EGO to stand out as if you know better than those around you.

If you argue and disagree allot, then your EGO rules you.

To be love or not.
@SoFine
Everything relative to The New Testament is directly linked to the old testament. We can't dismiss it because it doesn't fit our narratives.

This is not about ego, it's a healthy discussion. In order to reach a stage of enlightenment, we must progressively criticise, analyse everything critically. No opinion should be shut down because it doesn't fit narratives of the majority.
