"Religious syncretism." And this: It is perfectly logical to presume if there are 4,000 plus major and minor religions, sects, denominations and cults, and each claim that theirs and only theirs is the correct religion, the "one true religion," and many hold that others should die(!!!) for disagreement with that, then, yes *it is logical to presume they are ALL wrong and NONE are right.*
Another origin of Christmas, is Yule, an old Viking tradition held during the Winter Solstice, in order to celebrate the lights return. There are even stoies back in the viking age of children who would leave vegetables and fruits outside, or in their boots and whenever Odin came home from a hunt, or whatever he was out doing, his horse could get some rest and something to eat. In gratitude for this kind gesture, Odin would leave gifts for the kids. Remind you of anyone?
I have studied the history and evolution of religion, its quite interesting and yes gods, myths, rituals and traditions are often borrowed and merged into a new religion. Christianity is the most highly syncretized religion there is, a borrowed god from Judaism, which itself had evolved from polytheistic and monolatristic religions, as well as pagan elements.
😊 I think this was a very good video in helping to remove many of the differences and misunderstandings and opinions that we have. Many of our beliefs act as a barrier to unity, for example the resurrection, baptism, the Eucharist. If we set aside dogmas, doctrines, superstitions, rites and rituals we will surely see that we have so much in common with each other. Then we can all start working together to build a better world of peace and harmony. 🌟
When devising a religion, particularly Christianity, theists looked around, saw a nice concept and added it. As a "newer" religion, Christianity was able to appeal to more believers. More important is the vast amount of writings and concepts that were conveniently ignored centuries after Christ supposedly existed.
I would like to see more discussion on religious cults. My brother was into a doomsday cult disguised as a religious sect. They took everything from him including , eventually his life because he was forbidden to seek medical care.
Well, nothing can occur all by itself from vacuum. This borrowing or adaptation/adoption of preexisting knowledge or belief occurs as well in all modern disciplines as well as most if not all human cultures
The words Jhanna is Islam and Jhana in Buddhism may, superficially, look the same, but they are describing very different concepts. Jhanna (Islam) is a heavenly realm, or paradise - it is a 'physical' reality achieved, by some, after death. Jhana (Pali), or Dyana (Sanskrit), in Buddhism, is the name given to very deep absorption of mind which occurs in experienced meditators. As such, it is a 'mental' state in which all dualistic concepts vanish and non-dualism arises. It is experienced by a living practitioner of meditation. This is almost the opposite of Jhanna. Any similarity is more likely to be coincidental. There is no formally established linguistic connection.
One single monomyth, idol worshiped by evolving humans who cannot manage the knowledge of the future. It can help some people. The brain types that want to hurt others should be theists. They need a big brother to think and act right when they don't think right. One myth. Hero of a thousand faces. Jesus is right there too.
Religions also 'borrow' features of other religions to make it easier to assimulate them into their dominant culture.

Yes. I have thought that since I was a teenager.
Mind Control Through Hope & Fear.
Mainly through fear since they give zero hope.
@@Ex_christianThat's true. Religion wants us believe and stop questioning.
Mind control through indoctrination of chilfren.
I crime in my mind.
Liberalism in a nutshell 😂

SANTA!!!
No, all religions want "offerings".
It's funny that, knowing all of this, people still adhere to one of the religions as the only true one and reject the others.

Christianity did not borrow a god from Judaism, it is a Jewish sect.
Did you study islam too? What does islam say about the concept of religion and God?
The Torah is a very interesting coding book

Still waiting for the Middle East religions to incorporate Thou shalt not be racist or sexist into their cults. Won't be holding my breath.

Christianity is not a religion. There are more than 20,000 sects. all claiming to be Christian and fought many wars against each other.
@maylingng4107 agreed 👍

"Religious cult" is redundant. Religions ARE cults.
Is it Jehovah's witness? 🤔
The points are put together well
Is it a privilege to be a non Christian?
And also non islamic
@josevil1513 When you say non Islamic, do you mean someone like a Christian?
LudiChris Massey is still totally ludicrous
@@ThroneofDavid8 as an atheist non believer
Please how ?
Am a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 😭 of myself because of low finance but I still believe God😞
It's Elizabeth Ann Hanson doing she's changed my life. A BROKER- like her is what you need.
$356K monthly is something you should feel differently about....
Lovely! I enjoyed it like I enjoy a $100k monthly around the turn!!!
It's going to take longer than 7 and a half minutes to cover this subject lol
That's for sure but it is a good introduction for those who want to enquire further into the subject. 😊
I think we combine traditions because we all have a sight on the truth. Places being so far apart keeps it from happening more. Lamentable.

tis good to come across new insights. but we know from bitter experience it will never go beyond these walls. never has before
Like jhanna in buddha and islam call jannah its copycatting,also dhosa in hindu also another copycatting in islam call dosa,same goes to other stuff

God is good and the devil is evil
They are not opposites. God created the devil good. Everything God creates is good.
@@JeromeUllman
God created the Flood, and murdered millions of babies and infants.
But the good is theyre never existed
I'm sick and tired of these religious bots.
