Why don't more people study the history of their religion?

My nigga, the Sun is the most rational thing to revere.

Things that the Sun actually does in real life:
>exist for billions of years
>created the earth and all other planets
>causes weather
>allows you to measure time
>gives free heat and light to everyone
>causes plants and animals to grow to give you food
>never demands anything of you or anyone
>punishes those who disrespect it's power (sunburn)
>eventually it will destroy the world

Read up on sun worship before you get too carried away, but sun is awesome though.

>Prehistory

What do I win?

>Judaism-1342
Jesus Christ

Modern Jewish aka Talmudism was founded at this time. It's correct, go back to /pol/ or reddit.

and the sun will die and stop doing that shit.
what now nigger?

Humans will be off in our space colonies by then, farewell old Sol, we will miss you.

>not worshipping China.

Actually Catholic begins in 1545

That first one is 19th century.

>rational
Nobody cares, fedoracunt.

Go back to hell, Carlin

Sunburnt?

this nigga knows whats up

But what about the ever mysterious black hole that it will eventually turn into? Are we going to be able to escape that?

Actually Catholic begins in 1965

>Mormon awkwardly tucked in at the end
>atheism starting with fucking Dawkins instead of Voltaire or something
>atheism, Islam and Judaism being a church at all

Making Judaism start in 1342 is weird, but I can kinda see why. Talmudic Judaism and all that. But I just can't see how Orthodoxy started with the fall of Constantinople. If they want an arbitrary point, why not choose the Schism of 1054? There was already differences in practices and theology before, but nominally the Latin and Greek churches were united.

>the Schism of 1054

That's mostly revisionist history. That "schism" wasn't a big deal to the people of the time and was hyped up after the fact.

Is there a difference?

>Judaism - 1342
>Orthodox - 1454
>What is the armenian church
>What is the FUCKING OLD TESTAMENT

>>What is the armenian church

Not eastern orthodox

>Atheism
>A religion
Yeah boy why don't you put in animal rights and communism in there too

It's just a common theme, Nuragics had it too

New Atheism is basically a cult no different from the Peoples Temple, Scientology, or the Watch Tower publishing company at this point.

Saying something silly doesn't make it true.

>created the earth and all other planets

wrong

>But what about the ever mysterious black hole that it will eventually turn into?

How do you retards function?

>atheism
>2006
this is some fine quality bait

>implying Orthodoxy and Catholism split before the 11th century

It's more 1204 that drove home the differences

not wrong?
the planets only formed because of the suns gravity

They've become a parody of a parody.

The sun can't consciously effect the world and only created our material realm as far as we are aware, making worshiping it useless. Unless you think every star has a spirit.

>making worshiping it useless
So it's the same as worshiping the bible god then, with the bonus advantage of it being physically real.

how is it being physically real at all a bonus if it can't receive your prayers or do anything about them? might as well worship your ruler or some damn frog on the side of the road

In the sense that the OT god is the demiurge? Yes, worshiping it is useless.

I agree, it seems like worshiping things is pointless.

So why do you worship dawkins?

lol wait I thought we worshop Beelzebub or Baphomet, make up your mind proddy

Why does the statue of Anonymus have the label Judiasm??

>worship
>not realizing that heavens will will be fulfilled regardless and that pleading to the heavens is not only selfish but pointless

>implying Catholicism is not the unbroken branch which all the apostles have passed through

>being physically real

t. brainlet that can't into metaphysics

In my experience, history is just a non-issue for most religious people. They grow up learning the stories about their religion's history, take them at face value, and never look into it because what they learned is accepted by the community. Most people have no motivation to critically study the history of their religion. And even when they do, confirmation bias tends to make them less likely to take something that contradicts the narrative they know seriously.

Saying the Catholic church was founded in 33 AD is a good example of that.

But it was

Metaphysics doesn't concern with real things.

>Saying the Catholic church was founded in 33 AD is a good example of that.

Well, ±3 years. Close enough.

but where is muh scientology

Doesn't exist. Everyone in it is just being ironic.

I see the catholic church is taking credit for others work as usual
