>Judaism is less violent than Christianity

I wonder who is behind this post

Hindusim had burned widows few centuries.

We will never know

Also
>sikhism more violent than hinduism

>Buddhism
>Not violent

Have you ever read Japanese history?

Are that competition in violence among religions? Only most violent religion may survive on the Earth?

Japan is more Sinto than Buddhism

You know that Shinto =\= Buddhism right ?

if everyone left the jews alone in israel they'd never be a problem

It's not like the fanatic ikko ikki Buddhists butchered thousands or anything

>palestine
>western
in which universe

The world did. Then they decided to leave and returned to genocide the amaleks and everyone else on 'their' lands.

>if jews weren't allowed to move to other countries they'd never be a problem
fixed that for you, and even then it's debatable

Remember the 20.000 thousand buddhist sectarians Nobunaga set fire to?
I mean the man wasn't a paragon of kindness but he did it for a reason

>it was no longer possible to achieve enlightenment through traditional monastic practices, and thus one could only rely on the vows of Amitabha Buddha
>he eventually gave up on practices related to rebirth in the Pure Land, instead relying solely on faith in the vow of Amitabha Buddha
wtf this seems eerily close to christianity.
Were they crypto christians?

When people say Islam is a religion of peace do they know what they're talking about? Never read Quran myself

Do you actually know Japanese history or are you spouting pop culture meme?


Shinto is an invention of the late 19th century Japan. Before 19th century, it was strictly Buddhist with local animism blended in. The Meiji Restoration split the two to make Shinto into an official recognized religion of Japan. This was done to legitimize Emperor and the Japanese people's heritage. Thus Buddhism was made into a second class religion during this time.

He did it because the Buddhist faction was impeding his vision to rule the world/japan. Not because Buddhist were violent assholes.

Islam means peace tho. Peace through submission. Submission to Allah.

Sorta like how you're more at peace as a slave because you submit yourself to the master. Fighting against the would-be master is conflict.

Allah was much more better guy before a dirty Mohammed.

I'd rather die a free man than live as a slave

Submission to Mohhamed writings, if be more accurate. I think if allah can't rule people with out help of a quran book is powerless.

Not him, but Shinto is still an eastern religion which doesn't fit with the OP's claim. The fact that it is from the 19th century isn't really relevant.

May be western religions were made by crude prophets

>Why are western religions so violent?

Because they worship the devil.

When in the last 4000 years were the Jews left alone?

Shinto is a state religion but its not the cause of the war. That's nationalism. Shinto and Buddhism was a tool in that nationalism. Sorta like how hospitals are tool for the war. Neither Shinto or Buddhism that japanese practice dictate conquering or imperial ambitions. Shinto is simple animist/ancestral worship. Buddhism is simple reduction of suffering (I dont even know how they went from that to justifying killing people(maybe to save them from comiting future crimes?)). Neither has defensive clause or offensive clauses that support war or violence.

Same cannot be said of the western religions. Islam for example is primarily driven to expand and convert. The decree also involves killing all infidels.

Christianity has decrees that involve killing heretics/witches/adulterers/anal-sex/etc

Not so sure about jews.

>When in the last 4000 years were the Jews left alone?

"Just let us murder, plunder, and rape in peace goyim!"

Judaism has capital punishment in its jurisprudence system, just like Islam. However the punishment can only be enacted with Temple authority, so effectively it can't be practiced halachically. The most severe punishments in Judaism are 40 lashes or shunning, neither of which are practiced today by the larger Jewish community.

>The most severe punishments in Judaism are 40 lashes or shunning, neither of which are practiced today by the larger Jewish community.

Stoning people to death for saying the name of their non-existent "deity" is also a punishment in Judaism - whether or not they practice it anymore.

They should have just given it up since there's no evidence now or ever that the writers of the Jew book are "divine" authorities - but it seems the Jews and their associates want to spend eternity in prison...

>jurisprudence system
Good point there. The wider scale of Shinto and Buddhism doesn't have anything to do with law/order of the society. Those two are primarily a spiritual religion. The Judeo tradition of religions seems fixated on the law and order side of things, thus we have things like punishment, politics, etc. Punishment in Buddhism is primarily your own doing, no one will force punishment and likewise, no one can save you. There's the fact that, regardless of whether or not Gods exist, Gods are powerless in Buddhism as they themselves are delusional and suffering.

Buddhism in Japan was just a tool for justifying a feudal order, with the few samurai living in luxury while peasantry had to work for them and live in shit like animals

if you were born as a peasant it meant your karma is shit and you have to pay for sins commited in previous lifes, christian missionaries were a massive danger to that because they were teaching peasants everyone was equal

>Stoning
That's one of the four forms of capital punishment, along with slaying, hanging and burning. That doesn't contradict anything I said.

TRUTH TIER:
Christianity

NOT THE TRUTH TIER:
Everything other than Christianity

>KIDF taking their holy day off I see

You just be the intern?

Both are a means of social control, although the Abrahamic tradition is more explicit about it. Hinduism and later Buddhism were used to placate people forced into a strict caste system.
Eastern religious philosophies also have things like Legalism, which is punishment: the religion and Confucianism which pretty much advocates that the highest form of wisdom is becoming a petty bureaucrat. So idk if the comparison is really valid.

Buddhist don't have a caste system. That's hinduism. Buddhist were only originally monks. The lays are simple lays. Mahayana simply allowed lays to call themselves Buddhist due to popular demand.

Tell that to the people killed by the Khazars, the Christians killed by Gudit , and the Christians killed by Dhu Nawas.
