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.

Very true. Andalucia under a branch of Islam developed into quite a cultured and tolerant place : the Alhambra in Granada, Cordoba and all the rest. Christians and Jews were tolerated. The Christians invaded, drove out the Moors and Jews, vandalised much of the Islamic art and eventually got round to the Inquisition. You'll not be surprised to hear I'm an atheist.
@alan20 that's an inconvenient truth that there. the coexistence of sephardic jews under moorish influence-- but their exile under christians.
