That’s not really true. While Islam has generally the most aggressive stance towards other religions and worldviews, Pakistan, India, Myanmar etc are all countries where Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists were involved in violin concerts with each other or Muslims in recent times.
@@Just9n__depends. Hindu refers to residents marked by the river Sindh (Indus). They don't all have one religion, and the canonical religion, Vaidika Hinduism (based on Vedas) does not have a caste hierarchy. It only has "colours", with no hierarchy. The castes (Jaati) were a Dravidian (pre-Vedic) tradition which too wasn't oppressive on its own. But then they incorporated the Vedas to mix castes with colours. Vedas viewed the society in a new structure, with Academics, Warriors, Businessmen and Workers, while the Dravidian culture established that structure with the castes (profession by birth, not by choice) and that's when oppression began. They started viewing the Academic castes as superior and the Workers as inferior, justifying it with the Vedic scripture which said the Thinkers are from the Head of God, and Workers are from the Feet of God. So, those who studied the Vedas wouldn't be the ones oppressing them, it's just a cultural tradition independent of the religion. I'm from a community historically considered as a Worker caste, which only got the right to education in 1919 following a protest, but still I know well enough about the religion to know that the religion is not the same as the culture.

Proud sanatanis (Hindu, sikh, jain and baudh) here? Sikhism is not a monotheistic religion. Sikhs believe in 10 gurus. We indians respect them too. As a half sikh and half hindu, we are proud of our cultures.
Sikhs and Hindus are inseparable... 1st born of every Hindu family used to become a Sikh. So, where's the big difference... Also note that Guru wanted Muslim families to do the same. But we know the punishment for Apostasy in Islam. Hence 0 Muslims ever converted to Sikh. So, it's just Hindu families and Hindu bloodline in Sikhs, mostly.
do you mean half punjabi half something else? sikhism and hinduism is not an ethnic group from what i am aware of. i may be wrong. if so please enlighten me.
I practiced Buddhism for years. It has profoundly influenced me and how I view things. If one wanted to be sarcastic, one could say Buddhism teaches one to grow up, stop whining about everything and take steps to ease and then avoid the attachments that cause suffering. Why wander mindlessly in a cycle over and over again living in the fantasy of "if only I had this or that...." when one could instead live life fully by waking up and starting to make real choices? Something like that.

There's a Sanskrit Phrase in Hinduism "Vasudhaiv Kutumbakum" Means "Whole World is one Family" Moreover, There's One More Pharse "Tat Tvam Asi" Meaning "You are That" which means You are God/Anything/Everything.

Hinduism (Sanatan Dharma) literally says "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" in the Upanishads. It says to its followers not to show anger (krodh) to others to achieve liberation from cycle of birth and death (moksha). Sanatan Dharma is one of the most tolerant religions out there because of these teachings. It truly is beautiful and I am proud to be a part of it.
I'm a Hindu but an admirer of Confucianism and Cheondoism. I often try to syncretise Cheondoist & Confucian teachings alongside my clan's Hindu traditions.

The Dao does not need to convert because the Dao is already within, it’s only up to the individual to seek it within themselves. The Dao as the eternal nameless is of 1000 names. It accepts all names and is attached to none.
I heard that Hindus 🤔are seekers. Because of that, they are four ways in finding the Truth for them: 1. Karma yoga ( doing action, e.g like helping poor people) 2. Bhakti yoga( through devotion of any one divine you choose) 3. Janna yoga( through intelligence, eg. Scientists, Atheists) 4. Kriya yoga( through energy, eg. yoga, meditation ) So that's why many other religions of the world also fall under Hindu culture. Better known as" Sanatana Dharma. It shows the freedom and tolerance for each individual to find his/her spiritual journey. 🙏🏻
I've studied islam since 2016 quite extensively, and this is what I have learned: It isn't a religion, not even by islamic standards. It is a an "order" as in social order, set of rules, a "deen". For all practical purposes islam is its law, sharia. Its priests of all levels are not holy men as westerners understand it. They are lawyers, dancing to a tune 1400 years old that cannot be changed or trifled with. According to sharia all humans are born as muslims. Nobody "converts" to islam, because according to them people joining islam "returns" to it. The 9th chapter of the quran is a call to war to take over the world by dawah (mission) or the sword. This take-over is done region by region, by moving from lands called Dar al-Islam (The House of Islam) into Dar al-Harb (House of War) where muslims are in minority. When they feel more secure in numbers, they will start to demand political rights, claiming they are attacked and mistreated, demanding blasphemy laws in concordance with sharia, that says that neither the prophet, muslims nor islam may be criticised, because that is a capital crime. The last step, when muslims are in majority, they move to the last stage of the hostile takeover, in open offensive jihad. Suffices it to look at the news now to see where this is heading. They even have their own "Human Rights" called the Cairo Declaration (CDHRI) where the earlier first article did expressly call only those who submit to allah "human". Since 2021 the words are softer, but the message remains if one knows how to interpret the words. Muslims are a motley crew, but islam is deadly. "A far-right extremist death cult", as even some muslims wanting to reform it says. The most important thing for a muslim is to follow the example of the prophet, a sex offender, pedophile, warlord, slave owner and notorious liar. If he ever existed. There are more and more indications pointing to Mhmd being a corruption of Jesus himself. It was never "Mohammad" as a name, as the vowels weren't indicated in the Arabic of that age. That came later. "Mhmd" also exists in Hebrew, and in the bible it simply means someone or something beautiful and glorious. Everything except the Standard Islamic Narrative itself points in the direction of islam being a faith created in 691 AD for political reasons. The first coins have Christian crosses and fires of Zoroaster on them together with the word MHMD.
Totally agree. In short, it was a Nazi cult that was never got defeated and has grown like cancer and captured 57 countries and brainwashed 1.8 Billion people as followers.
you forgot to mention that you studied Islam from mcdonals university, Because I'm a muslim, and to be precise, only about 20% of what you said is correct..., I can and would continue arguing with you about this, but I got somethings to do...
@@CapitalistPropaganda911 I'll assume first that you understand what the verses mean first-hand(you know arabic) or you've looke up tafsirs, so I wont have to explain anything in them to you 1- that's during war, specically the battle of badr in madina, and given the fact that modren warfare isn't any better, I doubt that its a thing to just hold Islam accountable to. 2-jihad is a term approximated and generalized to 'religious struggle'(because there are mulitple types of it), it does not neccisate fighting, nor killing, nor anything of that, infact, a preacher teaching about the dangers of alcohol in a westren country can be technically considered a jihadist. 3-self defence is not a crime 4-leaders TEND to value the people they relate to most or who they get most benifit from doing so, I mean for all the social developpement in the west, racism STILL exists in some aspects and they DO leak up to politics if it's bad enough(ex: trump) 5- you're gonna call people claiming 2+2 = 5 idiots, it's the same thing here 6- just read the verse before it, harsher punishments for murder and terrorism don't mean more violent etc... but I got other things to do, so have a great day!
@hothdog Where does Mohammed say that this is only during war? Where does he say that jihad can be fought without the sword? Give me a verse from the Quran or any authentic hadith and I'll believe you.
i am a buddhist from birth and all of my family relatives are also buddhist. I read books about buddha and listen to monk's preaching since i was a kid and since then i had questions and doubt about buddhism.When i was a teenager i started considered myself as atheist and then learned about christianity and became a follower of jesus for awhile at that time i was much more judgemental than i was. before. After a while i became an atheist again and did research about religions again like christanity, islam, dao, hinduism and judaism. While learning about those religions in depth, i came across a videos of christians's testimonies about hell and i was so scared and thought " this is it. i need to follow jesus" and i decided to be a believer of jesus again but then for 3 days i was so scared that i couldn't even sleep in the dark anymore. My mind was full of fears for those 3 days and i decided to do research about buddhism again that's when i understood everything about buddha's teachings and the questions and doubt i had about buddhism when i was young were answered and gone and found peace. I'm not even scared of hell or gods anymore. and for me we can't prove or disprove the existence of god and we don't know for sure which is the only truth so i rather decided to find peace than the truth which we will never find unless we die.
As a Shia Muslim some Shias don’t care about monotheistic religions, like anyone who believes in one God even if not fully religious we treat them as our brothers. Although some Shias are unhinged.
Funny thing: While the west is obsessed with Weltschemtz, guilt and woke diversity and inclusion (by diversity meaning forcing certain beliefs on everyone). A lot of Muslims use it and say something among "Oh you believe one god, you're on the right path to become Muslim". There is an idea floating amongst western Abrahamist religion followers that there is one god, meaning that Christians, Jews and Muslims believe the same one, just not in the right way... At the same time if you go to some countries of "the religion of peace" you could be prosecuted and killed for having a bible. If you say the same thing they use here to try to convert you - that christians and muslims realy believe the same god - its a "blasphemy" r whatever you shit people call it and unishable by death. In general i would believe everyone has ritht of their own way and chose their faith. But what gets me angy is in some ways nothing has changed since 12th century. "Olde European" countries pushed their monotheisim to north and east europe, prosecuting people. If I would start writing things christians did to my people, youtube would delete this coment. In the present day of "Diversity and inclusion" i would still be attaced for my pagan simbols and beliefs. Christians who see a swatika (we hawe many more symbols, call them runes if you like, but for*reasons* swastika is most illfamous) and rougly know about paganism would be angry because the polytheist links, the rest would judge for german hystory. In 12th century my ancestors fould be attacked and told what to do by christians. In the 21st centrury the islam-christian circus would still speak shit because of paganism. You suposedly cant critisize muhamad, lately peple can start speaking crap of jeesus, not that many bother. But if youre a pagan - h - either people dont know - or they will force their abrahamic shit down ypur throat. One must accept this and celebrate that. But if you follow old beliefs from before abrahamic religions were forced upon us, one is the bad guy and escape goat for everyone. Muslims and christians, can you please throw a pile of bibles and Qurans, soak them in pig blod, and burn them? ANd go to burn in ech orhers hell because you "pray to the same god" the wrong way? I know what i write will upset the most. But dont tell me about tolerance. Pagans are under the radar, but they can be ridiculed by abrahamists all the time. We dont push our beliefs to noone. Should be more concerned about nature and balance. Sorry, but not sorry, all the abrahamists who think they are better than averyone else, taste your own medicine an leave other people alone.
Hey, I'm an infidel cording to you? Then maybe you' re an infidel/farizey according to me. Can infidelism prtection tax to eachother cancel out and make us even? :D I know it will be bad if i as a white person say it. but its become double standard. If i would say the same things muslims do, just swap out particular religions or races, i would be caled a racist, an islamophobe etc. Double stndard at its best. Realy, i have spoken to some muclim priechers n uk, hey set up their tents, speak how scientific they are, they recognise big bang, islam is religion of peace and bla bla. Then the ssame guy openly says that sharia law should be abowe country law. And infidels should pay protection tax. He asks me: do you pay taxes? I say yes. He says its the same, everyone pays taxes, in uk people pay taxes, in America people pay taxes. How can you smile and say this shit. Imagine a white person putting a table in a western city and saying than non europeans or lets say non crsistians should say "protection tax" or be killed?
Besides food and framing,🤔 cows are seen as mothers for Hindus because when a mother can not breastfeed its newborn babies, it uses cows' milk. Cows were also seen to share emotions with the family. An animal that shows emotions was seen as close to a humans.
19:06 any reason why you added Anglican as a distinct sect? I’ve never heard anyone make this distinction. Also, Eastern Orthodoxy is a branch of Christianity but there is also oriental orthodoxy
As an American who was raised Protestant, I believed that Anglicans were just laid back Catholics until I read more about the faith. They look very hybridy to me now.
Indo European Paganism Principal Deity - Dyaus Piter Vedic Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Greek, Roman, Nordic, Irish, Slavic paganism all have common roots from it.
Georgia has a 2,000-year history of coexistence with its Jewish community, known for its tradition of tolerance and peaceful relations, especially compared to broader mostly other European anti-Semitism. so when you mention only Hindus in that sense, it kind of breaks my heart. Edit: after Babylonian conquest and persecution of jews around 6th century BC, many people moved here and made their temples there.
I know! Always amazes me. Georgia is seriously a marvel in every way. It is the coolest place I've ever been. I can't explain how much I live that place.
Exceptions, Most of the Middle East was in forever bloodshed, where as in South Asia no Dharmic religion persecuted other fellow ones, ironically we actually were invaded by Abrahamic ones and we United to defeate them
@@COEP-2025TRYTILLTHEEND : This is not entirely true. There was persecution of Buddhists by Pushyamitra Shunga, persecution of Jains by South Indian Kings, persecution of Ajivikins by Ashoka and others. However, it must be admitted that "no" scripture of any Dharmic religion support religious persecution (unlike Abrahamic religions where one can find verses that support that in their scripture) and the kings who were doing persecution in India were doing without support from scripture.
@Lagolop indeed Mountain Jews. Some are Karaite right. Then some are Persian. I know there's a couple different strainsvof Judaism there which speaks to the level of tolerance.
Thank you for that broad insight into most of today’s main religions. Being culturally of protestant background, I never realised how much of the well-thinking “humanistic” values actually have their roots in christianity. However, I can’t fail to notice how Abrahamic religions seem less tolerant overall compared to eastern religions. And from the former group, islam especially stands out like a sore thumb as very intolerant. Why is that? Is the Quran really worse than the Bible or the Torah? Or are those observations based on the political choices of islamic leaders?
Scholars like Ibn Kathir interpreted many passages as condoning violence such as the infamous sword verses in Surah 7 if I recall correctly. Additionally, one of the Hadith cited is from Sahih Bukhari which is considered as authentic. This is scholarly consensus among many groups.
I am a former Muslim turned Buddhist. The views of tolerance of others who aren't a part of the faiths is drastic, went from being intolerant and bigoted to more of a free-thinker and a lot more tolerant. I enjoy the way Sikhs are tolerant as well, very interesting and amazing video!
As a Christian I just want to say I respect and love all people from all walks of faith. I just believe they are misguided, and because I love non believers I fear for their lives. Christ makes us better people, and he gives us eternal life. I wish everyone would have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Don’t wish other people have a relationship with Christ. Be content in finding comfort that other people have their spiritual needs met by other means.
So here’s how each faith views non believers: Sikhism: You’re cool as you are, we’re cool as we are just don’t screw with us and we’ll all be fine. Taoism: We can all be harmonious. Bahai: We’ve got the latest upgrade but if you’re happy with earlier program versions that’s fine. Confucianism: I do me, you do you, just don’t rock the boat and always be polite. Zoroastrianism: You can join us if you want but you can get to heaven if you follow the good God's ways. Judaism: You can join us if you want or you not, but as long as you keep basic good rules, we’ll all go to heaven together. Hinduism: Be nice to us and our cows and we can all enjoy the party side by side. Islam: Follow our way or we’ll slaughter you. but if you’re Jewish or Christian you can live in squalor, humiliation, and deprivation and we will abuse you. Christianity: Our way is the only way but if you don’t accept our way we’ll still love you, help you, and look after you. We pray you’ll see the light for yourself. Buddhism: Our way brings peace but if you follow your way and it makes you good you’ll get there eventually. QUIZZ: which one of the above is not like the others?
You think Christianity spread by love? 😂 And nope, all hindus don't respect cows. Different communities have different animals considered necessary for their community. In northeast and south of india or outside of india, Hindus eat beef and pork too. The thing is not about just respecting cows, but about being vegetarian and not k!lling animals for your tongue's taste.
@@crazy_for_kpop562 Yeah, Keralite Hindus do eat beef. It is not about killing or not killing cows. It is about respecting animals, since that is a part of Hindu teaching of non-violence (ahimsa)
As for Islam you can’t just cherry pick sections of text and make up your own law. Muslims have their own judicial tradition that deals with non Muslims and it differs based on the region and school or sect. If it was true that Hindus must convert then there wouldn’t have been a single Hindu left in the north of India. Your Islam section is pretty disappointing actually.
It's simple bcz sikh ruler and hindu ruler revolted time to time That why many war occur. Inshort . Muslim failed to make everyone muslim and failed to kill them bcz hindu faught back. Your book literary order kill those who don't believe in god. Idk when your book say that no problem but when non-Muslims say that mentioning your own book it's offending.

Hinduism to Buddhism is like Judaism to Christianity. One is the cradle of the later. But Buddhism doesn't take the same idea of an "eternal soul" - which is an illusion, a convention (a lie we all agree).

Deuteronomy 7:2: "And when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy." That is from the bible. Islam is no more violent than any of the other Abrahamic relgions
@@schmlif8839 Deuteronomy 7:2 is a part of Moses’ address to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land, Canaan, following their exodus from Egypt. The book of Deuteronomy serves as a series of speeches by Moses, reiterating laws and covenant terms to the new generation of Israelites, as the older generation had largely passed away during the 40 years of wandering in the desert. In 7:2, Moses instructs the Israelites to "utterly destroy" the seven nations occupying Canaan (the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites) without making treaties or showing mercy. This command emphasizes the importance of keeping Israel free from the religious practices and cultural influences of these nations, which included idolatry, child sacrifice, and various practices considered morally corrupt according to Israelite law. Historically, this was a time of tribal societies, and territorial conflicts were common. For the Israelites, these instructions also reflect the belief that God was directly guiding and protecting them, intending for them to establish a distinct and holy society. The focus on destroying other nations' influence was less about ethnic hostility and more about maintaining Israel’s religious purity, loyalty to their covenant with God, and survival as a nation dedicated to Yahweh's laws and moral codes.

Could you provide the sources for the quotes used in this video? When I looked up the verses mentioned in the Islam section, I couldn't find the exact references. It seems like there might be an error with the verse numbers. Clarifying this would be really helpful, as I'm interested in exploring the sources you cited.
For example, in 5:33, you didn’t include the entire verse. If you continue reading, you’ll see that it says more, and even the next verse adds further context on what to do.

All over india with buddha statue..
Brilliant video.... But just a small point to point you out. Hold on this will be a long one..... While there is no zeal in Hinduism to deal with unbelievers like they do in the major Abrahamic faiths, there is actually a precedent of separation between those who are Hindu and those who are not. In the beginning, the world was divided into Aryavarta (the realm of the aryas) and mlecchavarta (the realm of the mleccha). Jambudvipa (modern day Indian subcontinent) is considered as the most auspicious of land where Dharma was discovered by the Seven Sacred Sages (Saptarishis) and given to Manu (the progenitor of all mankind) is why the other name for Jambudvipa is also called Aryavarta as the people there live as per the tenants of Varnasrama and Dharma while those outside Aryavarta who didn't live as per the norms of Varnasrama therefore lived in a state of matsyanyaya (literally the law of fish where big fish eat small fish) and therefore in a perpetual state of chaos and war and were this far removed from Dharma. The farther one ventured from Aryavarta, the more "mleccha" or barbaric people became. Jambudvipa (or the Indian subcontinent) itself was divided into many Deshas (or nations, divisions) such as Sapta-Sindhu (which is roughly the Indus river basin and it's adjoining areas), Madhyadesha (literally middle country which lay just east of Sapta sindhu and in between the Himalayas and the Vindhyas), Travidadesha (literally peninsular India which is South of the Vindhyas aka modern Southern India) and Brahmadesha (which is basically the region around modern Myanmar). The people who reside in these domains are Savarna or those who live as per their Varna. But in regions like forests, or deserts or mountains, where people do not live a settled agricultural lifestyle, they are not considered Savarna but Avarna or those without Varna... the most barbaric of Avarna are called mlecchas. Ritually speaking, in a Yajna (fire sacrifice), the Brahmin priest would sit closest to the fire and therefore closest to the Devas, the Kshatriya king who would be the sponsor of the Yajna would sit close to the priest but away from the fire while the others such as Vaishyas and Shudras who would provide gold and grain or labour or tools and vessels for the Yajna would sit behind the Kshatriya. A mleccha who lives in a state of anarchy and therefors impurity is forbidden from attending the Yajna although he may if willing can be willing to stand guard and protect the venue of the entire Yajna and therefore reap the reward of the fire sacrifice and his soul would move upward when he dies. So you have Savarna people (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra) who live as per Dharma, then you have Avarna people (who also include outcasts) and then you have mlecchas (which later on in medieval time almost exclusively was used to mean Muslims but also used to refer to others in the Abrahamic family as a whole). Sorry it was a long one but i hope it helped a bit for you to understand the status of "non believers" in Hinduism.
In Russia’s Volga Republics (Tatarstan and Bashkortostan) as well as in Azerbaijan Islam is very tolerant. I have never heard a bad word about other religions from them!
@@ericfoxprime Yeah, it's near Azerbaijan, however as far as I can tell, they are completely different. When I got to Baku for the first time I didn't speak Azeri, had only some knowledge of Russian, which is widespread there. People were very friendly and helpful, there was no discrimination because of religion and ethnicity. The same is true for Ufa and Kazan, for the people there, their religion is their private matter.
That's because under communist rule, religious expression in general was heavily suppressed. It's the same with Albania, Bosnia, and many Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan.
Okay I have a question. How is the Noahide laws any different than telling people what to do? I have watched rabbis discuss the noahide laws and I have to be honest, I have some big problems. 1. Their interpretation of "idols" 2. Their interpretation of "stealing" 3. Some of the sexual laws-how are they going to control that in the modern world? There's more but I'd have to go back and rewatch the videos and take notes.
Being against adultry is shared by almost every religion, and in my opinion is just common sense for a functioning society. As for Laws telling folk what to do... Do not all Laws tell folk what do to? If you do not want to convert to Judaism and follow the 613 mitzvot but believe in Judaism, the 7 Laws are easy. If you do not wish to follow Judaism you have nothing to worry about.
@BenLlywelyn fair enough, adultery wasn't my point to be clear, I was thinking about sex outside of marriage more generally, it's just so common today. I'm married so it's not a personal concern, it was just something that crossed my mind on the list.
@BenLlywelyn also laws telling people what to do. I specifically meant that I don't like the definition of idolatry, and stealing. Let me be specific. 1. The rabbis that I watched seemed to be under the impression that Halloween is pagan-its not, at least not necessarily, it's an ancient harvest festival with vegetable lanterns that's native to the Atlantic Coast. 2. That Jack-o'-lantern 🎃🎃🎃 are " graven images"-literally lanterns 3. That Christians meeting in Sundays to worship was stealing - I almost get this one, but still disagree strongly I also want to be clear that I totally support Israel, and the Jewish people. I just disagreed with the Noahide Laws, at least in the way they were represented.
@@BenLlywelyn I don't disagree with the moral stance-I disagree with the legal one. I grew up in the 90s with the Christian Right having a field day trying to legalize all forms of morality. It just creates a backlash from my perspective, even if their underlying point was correct. But it seems you're looking at more from a group of semi-Jewish people? I thought Noahide Laws were something Israel was trying to get the world to follow. There was an attempt at passing a law several years ago-so that's my context.
As a Shia Muslim, what you described are Sunnis. Shia, Ibadis, Alevis, Ahmadi, are very different, we’re the tolerant ones who have no problem with other faiths. The hadith are Sunni hadiths we don’t agree with them. Although some Shias have a thing with swords and conquest and purifying the Sunnis to Shias called Safavism which wants to convert Sunnis to Shias to make Islam true and free from the fake Sunnis and only let the true Muslims exist in the Islamic world.
You literally teach that unbelievers (of islam) are unclear. It's a fact that you banned jews from going outside when it was raining, because you believed we would stain the water and thus the soil. Oh and by the way, who is funding terrorists? The shia-state of iran. So stfup about this "shias are different from sunnis" bs, no one believes your lies unless they are dvmb lefties. All Hail Adonai, Long Live The People of Jisrael!
As a Wiccan Witch we believe you have a right to do as you will as long as you cause no harm. We don't look for converts. We don't believe in Hell or a Devil. You are not born with the stain of sin, you don't need any kind of salvation. In general we believe in an afterlife and many believe in reincarnation. It is a religion tied to the rhythm of Nature and the wider Cosmos. We see the Divine as two Energies personified as the God and Goddess.
What about the times a person thinks they’re doing no harm but learns from experience or consequences that harm was indeed being done? Are we the best judges of such things?
I’m cool with Wicca. I’m cool with any religion except Islam and mind control cults. There are a few sects of Islam that are decent because they reject the Hadith but these are marginal.
A few questions about Wicca as a Brazilian: These energies already existed before the universe? Are these energies separate or part of nature? Can you know these energies? Are they conscious? Do they act on the natural world or are indifferent to it?
Interesting video. I have found Hinduism to be the most tolerant religion and have converted to it. Many other religions are also very tolerant. According to the "Abrahamic faiths", "there is only one God." As Hinduism views everything and everyone to be a manifestation of their supreme deity Brahman, many Hindus will tell you that "There is ONLY God."
@@frankboulton2126 Hinduism is Polymorphic ...It believes in One supreme consciousness and it's different attributes are personified into different deities.One can choose any way as per her or his temperament. Vedic Hinduism addresses the issue very scientifically and establishes any concept on basis of proofs be it direct perception,logical interpretations or testimony from reliable source.As per Hinduism the primordial Nature,Individual Consciousness and Supreme consciousness are all eternal and their interplay makes up the Universe.
@@frankboulton2126 You need to study up on the history of Hinduism and India because they are not tolerant of other religions especially Christianity and Islam, although I can understand the Islam part. They also have the caste system which is very terrible. They might have a main god with Brahman but they believe in many gods...
In Hinduism there's many sects actually and denomination your correct Those are more then any religion. Like yogic practicnors Karmic yogis Tantric yogis Samathi yogis Artha yogis Etc And so n so forth . There's a smaller sects you may not even heard of Carvaks Ajivikas Sankhyas Nyayas Etc Theres are monotheistic sects Arya samaj Nirgun bhakts Iswar marg Parabrahma upasak Nature /mountain / animal / rivers / plants / tree / sun / moon / cosmic . Worship also Fun fact : om 🕉️ The moon and star shape symbol is actually represent the ultimate reality .
Sir,the issue is rather simple and originates from monotheistic 3 Abrahmic faiths which are exclusive in their core in different ways dividing humanity as a binary: believers vs non - believers . The conflicts between the 3 started within Abrahmic faiths. Forms of exclusivity in 3 Abrahmic faiths. 1. Judaism: jews as chosen people of their God Yahweh. No proselytizing. Not bothered about other 2 Abrahmic faiths which appeared much later. 2. Christianity: Only savior ,Jesus Christ. Systematic Proselytizing through clergy. Jews should believe in Jesus Christ and embrace Christianity.In fact all apostles of Christianity were jews as was Jesus Christ(not related to Abraham) 3.Islam: A very strong division of humanity between Muslims vs Kafirs. Jews and hristians are also Kafirs. Violent Proselytizing by sword and caliphate. Conversion of kafirs to Islam is a covert tenet of islam where every muslim must convert kafirs to upgrade his status in Jannat.
He needs to ignore reason in order to be accepted by his new Jewish friends. He doesn't care about us gentiles anymore nor what we say with our reasoning. He just wants to be accepted by Jews now.
Islam in reality has nothing to do with Judaism and Christianity besides the inspiration it took from them and twisted 180°. It's a man-made personality cult introduced by a violent pedophile who broke every commandment that God has given the Jews and that the Christians also adopted. To call it an Abrahamic religion is an insult to Abraham.

No one intellectually serious has laid out that specific theory in a convincing way, especially without strawmanning tf out of postmodernism and/or degrading to “it’s wordy and I don’t like that.” Postmodernism has many flaws but calling it a “religion” because you don’t like it shows a personal devaluation of religion, philosophy, and intellectualism overall.
Sorry,but contrary to mainstream narrative religion and Dharma are completely different things from each other,a religion means a set of belives made by it's founder which it's followers should follow blindly without using and kind of logic or reasonings basically a cult!,like Islam,Christianity,Judaism,Buddheism and specially on the rise of Neo Buddheism etc are called religions,meanwhile Hinduism(although the correct word for that is Sanatan Dharma)on the other hand means Dharma(moral principles)where having questions and having doubts is fully allowed,and it's the one and only Dharma in the entire planet!🔱🕉️
I have a Japanese teacher whom I love. (Not in a way that I want her to be my life partner but I do like and value her) She teaches via Twitch.

Dude this was a terrible representation on Islam, Those verses were literally re-worded here and our of context. I get there is a war rn with Iran and their proxies but don't lie. Here is actual versus (about specific battles at the time). (3:85) ''And whoever seeks a way other than this way a submission (Islam), will find that it will not be accepted from him and in the Life to come he will be''. (47:4) ''So when you meet the disbelievers in battle, strike their necks until you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind them firmly''. (5:33) refers to the people of Hilal Ibn 'Uwaymir who killed another group of people from the Banu Kinanah. The Banu Kinanah wanted to emigrate to Medina to see Allah's Messenger (pbuh) and declare their Islam. You also forgot to mention these (2:224) "And do not make [your oath by] Allah an excuse against being righteous and fearing Allah and making peace among people. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing". (4:90)''Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty or those who come to you, their hearts strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their own people. And if Allah had willed, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you a cause [for fighting] against them''. (5:32) "If anyone kills a person, it would be as if he killed the whole people: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people"
Intolerance towards intolerance is still intolerant, and therefore shouldn't be tolerated either. It's a system of thought that denies itself in the end. The healthy thing is to maintain a balance between these two principles, not fully accepting or denying any one of them.

In the United States, it’s probably more accurate to say that the framework of our pluralistic democracy was conceived and implemented by folks who were Deists. Deism came from 1600s Brits who rejected Christianity. And if we go back to the Greeks, widely accepted as the founders of European democracy, their culture predates Christ.

Modern wokism is also a religion: you can overlay a map of areas in which calvinism was the dominant form of religion onto a map of regions that today vote for "woke" policies, and it's a 1:1 correspondence. Wokism is 21st century calvinism - they rejected god but kept the judgement, authoritarian tendencies, "thought crimes, etc." Nathaniel Hale would feel very comfortable with 21st centruy cancel culture.
There's no such thing as "wokism." Things that are considered 'woke' include being decent to queers, acknowledging historical injustices, etc. Nothing Calvinists would approve of. But you'd know that already, if you knew anything about either subject.
@@Cascadiarch \It's not about being decent to queers, it's about accepting modern gender theory. It's not about just acknowledging that our societies have done bad things *like every other society,* it's about accepting conflict theory as the singular narrative of history. It's about controlling how people think, and your thoughts, not your actions, make you a good or bad person. Being woke is equivalent to being "saved,' and like with Calvinism, salvation can be lost. Public confession and repentance is required of those cancelled. There's a small group of "Chosen," the people who are awake to conflict and gender theory, and then there's everyone else, the ignorant of the world. Idk man.... sounds pretty Calvinist to me...
As eastern orthodox I've encountered many muslims and all of them have been kind and respectful. I understand that there are some extremists everywhere but that doesn't define the whole religion/population. Peace!
As a Buddhist it’s actually quite saddening how you portray Islam as this evil force that relies on subjugation when Christianity and other religions in this video have done such things at points of their history as well. It’s ahistorical and blatantly just shows you have this bias towards other religions compared to Islam, I’ve grown up with Muslims and they are some of the most amazing people you will ever meet, I pray that your mindset on the religion changes overtime
You should know how the Muslims treat your people in Myanmar. Indonesia and Malaysia are the exceptions, because they were uniquely converted to Islam through trade rather than conquest, but if you go further west, you will not find a single country where a Muslim majority tolerates a Buddhist minority, nor where a Muslim minority respects a Buddhist majority.
Those who have been driven out from their homes unjustly only because they said, ‘Our Lord is Allah’ - And if Allah did not repel some men by means of others, there would surely have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft commemorated. And Allah will surely help one who helps Him. Allah is indeed Powerful, Mighty - Quran 22:40 As you can see the Quran commands to protect the places of worship of all religions
From what i have understood in the Protestant and now Catholic teaching I have received, Hell is merely the separation from God. Eternal life is offered to us through Christ alone, but that eternal life, Heaven, has a dual character: both now and not yet. So of course Christianity is a prostelisyzing framework -- who wouldn't want to share the news of the Gospel, that Heaven has touched the Earth in the body of Christ and through Him we have a clear path to it / eternal life? That all our hopes are fulfilled? That the Lord of the Creation has heard our cry and answered it? That we have been shown how to once again be truly human? Someone who doesnt truly believe it I think, thats who. I pray for all those souls that they may be saved from unnecessary worldy suffering.
Wrong, European Democracy polity etc are From Greeko Roman Paganism with only 2000 years Thin Veil on it, over 8000 years of Greecko Roman and Egyptian Paganism.
again wrong, greek democracy has almost nothing to do with modern democracy, the greek democracy was rooted in the belief that the athenians were superior to all, modern it is the belief that everyone is equal and should have free will to chose their path even if that path is bad.
The problem with this claim, from my understanding, is that the British were not reading about ancient Greece when creating their democracy. If you think about it, you prolly already know this. At what point did Europe start focusing on finding and reading about Greece and Rome? Just before the Renaissance, Renaissance means rebirth and refers to them starting to look to these past civilizations for influence. The Brits formed the Parliamentary system hundreds of years before the Renaissance. Once the Renaissance happened we did add old ideas to the mix, especially America focusing on ancient Rome. Within a few hundred years of Renaissance these democracies became more democratic than the ancients would have dared. Universal Suffrage, making slavery illegal, personal privacy and many other policies make us very unique compared to the ancients, even when compared to a couple hundred years ago. There are a number of other democracies that were formed without knowledge of the Greeks, my favorite is the Iroquois, but I'm biased because the Iroquois were part of what inspired the separation of powers that is very unique to America. There's always a chance that someone in Britian in the 1200s was reading about the ancients and had a hand in creating British democracy, but I am not aware of such a link. 😀
@foundingfarther British Democracy actually Comes from Anaglo-Saxon Tribal Council Tradition as an Advisor body of The Chieftain, later Imposed on to the English King, and also Danelaws later Influenced it. Parliament is an Extension of that. Thats why Republican Form of Democracy is From USA - Thomas Pain- Enlightment and French Revolutions.
Couple added points: Sikhs ran a theocracy for a while, until it was defeated by the British, they ruled as a privileged religious caste but didn't show much intrest in encouraging non Sikhs under their control to convert, through they were certainly interested in conquering new territory. Hinduism is so aggressively diverse that you will find Hindus who will say things like "There is a monotheistic and a polytheistic interpretation of this text, and both are legitimate an crucial parts of the faith." Simultaneously, until the period of the Raj the practice of Saati, widows being expected to throw themselves on the funeral pyre of their husband, was widespread, moreover human sacrifice was not unheard of among devotees of Kali, and typically took place at temples dedictaed to her. While both are illegal now, Occasionally a Hindu will sacrifice one of their children, normally in secret, and a number have been prosecuted for doing so. Temples to Kali still exist, but now only sacrifice animals.
In both the cases of sati and animal sacrifice, you're almost presenting them as if they were general practices, when in reality both were extremely fringe practices performed by a very small, isolated group to begin with. Human sacrifices are literally prohibited in various scriptures, including those that specifically talk about the Kali yuga and its practices. Also, to say that animal sacrifice is performed at Kali temples is also a massive overstatement, since among the thousands of temples there are only 2 temples where animal sacrifice is performed in the entirety of India, and those temples have been under heavy scrutiny by other schools of Hinduism including vast majority of the kali worshippers themselves for the longest time. Also, on the topic of sati, the vedas have mantras for the remarriage of widows, which itself shows that this practice goes against the core principles and was fringe and extremist in nature practiced by a very small number of people. I would also recommend the book by historian Meenakshi Jain. She very meticulously presents primary sources to point out the common misconceptions, generalizations, and exaggerations around the practice of sati and how there's a huge difference when you compare the data between government officers and evangelists with obvious motives.
How long has this Hindus throwing their widows in fire thing being going on & how long ago were scriptures of Hinduism written, please lemme know. also if any of them even mention this practice.
@@Tattvavitt The practise of Sati Started with Muslim Invasion and so did the practise of child marriage.Also Hindu marriages began to happen in night instead of daytime also due to Muslim Invasion.
Confucianism used to be super fundamentalist (infidels -- by "infidels" I mean those who do not obey their parents on stupid matters -- were often punished severely)... until Maoists in the 1960s (mostly rebellious teenagers) had enough of this and nearly destroyed it. Now you think it is quite tolerant and benign? Well, it's now like this because the patriarchy/teachers were in turn "taught a lesson" by the children/students.
@@BenLlywelyn That is really a western phenomenon: you see so much of the word "patriarchy" IN A SPECIFIC CONTEXT, that, unfortunately, you get sort of "allergic" to this word in all contexts. The human brain is, unfortunately, not prepared to handle such "allergy", and just stops working.

What he presents is exactly what Islam is all about. The majority of Islamic nations, it doesn’t matter how progressive they are like Saudi, or U.A.E or Qatar, they still follow violent principles mentioned in the Quran. You can have neighbors like in the area I live in where you have afghan’s believing cutting someone’s hand off if they steal is a good thing and you have a neighbor from Morocco thinking it’s good to kill Jews. The irony of all this, they are good neighbors. But they still have this, quiet, primitive mentality that doesn’t fit in western thinking. If you want more information about this religion, there’s a great channel by this Saudi ex-Muslim whose goal is to bring forth these facts about Islam, and have a down to-earth conversation about its origins and belief and some history and the multiple inconsistencies it has concerning biblical Jewish figures like mistaking Maryam (mother of Jesus) for Miriam, sister of Moses. That and other tidbits. His channel is called: CIRA International
With the view that this topic is not about religion in its entirety, i need to point out a couple of fundamental errors regarding Free Will in Buddhism. There is free will in the conventional term but there is also dependent origination at play in "Free Will". Nevertheless, Buddhism has been said to be the only faith able to formulate a religion & code of ethics (within the 5 precepts) that is universal & valid for all humanity regardless of race, culture, religion/atheist & gender/LBGQTI+🙏
I don't use Buddhist label anymore after comprehending the teaching of Buddhism itself. In my experience, Buddhism can even go along with materialism and this is going to be controversial for a lot of traditionalists; I'd argue that attachment to 'name' and 'form' is still nonetheless, an attachment. In fact, I would even say that understanding in materialism would even be beneficial to comprehending Buddhism.

I agree with you on the view of christianity, that being the foundation of western worldview. however, it has become a problem all in itself, I think . to describe it in somewhat jungian terms, the shadow has start to take over and seems to consuming the values.
I think the problem is we have forgotten that societies do not function for long without somekind of single cultural tradition binding people together.
@@BenLlywelyn True. Postmodernism really did a number on the western society, as I see it. There really a symbiosis between uniformity and diversity that has been lost, I think. In that regards Taoism got it right, as I see it. What I mean with the shadow in this precept is the issues that seems to stem from christianity, but in a synthizeed (?, english is not my native language, sorry) form. it manifests in some kind of Laissez-faire kind of empathy that is no longer natural. it lost it's focus on helping with empathy when needed and in the way that is needed, and instead trades towards feeling good short term. real empathy can be a real challenge, sometimes.
what you say about buddhism is not totally wrong but , wrong , they aren't rebel (we do have debated over it ) , also nirvana is a concept of hinduism . budhism , jainism or even sikhism is just like sub divisions of sanatan , but just taking one book of idology from a library . Hinduism or sanatan have multiple ways of life according to dharma , but all these famous three and many more just pursue one or two way (more like specilasing one subject )
Having read the major texts of the religions you mentioned when I was 11-13 ,I liked the Upanishads the most and the Koran the least..even writing home to mum from Boarding school, I thought the Koran was the most dreadful ,evil book I'd ever read in my life! But to be fair, there are sections in the Old Testament that are equally unpleasant and the account of the massacre at Jericho is possibly the most disturbing from the ancient world? Catherine Nixey's book, 'The Darkening Age The Christian Destruction of the Classical World', gives a good compilation of how extremely intolerant many Christians were when they came to power. There are some interesting theories about Islam, how it might have evolved when a large group of Syrian Christians were forcibly relocated to Merv, that 25% of the Koran is better understood in Syriac Aramaic, and later when these groups were only understanding Arabic their origins were misunderstood...but considering Theodosius's edict in 391 making it illegal to be Pagan and punishable by death, the Muslims seem to have followed in spirit the usual trends of the early Christian church.
Christianity is more expansive and aggresive than islam, only it doesn't claim the state power. It just goes toghether from the times of Rome with secular christian conquerors making sure local subjegated peoples forgive them. This is forgiveness in christianity

The indigenous culture and belief of Wales. Is Obi Wan from Star Wars really just Merlin, the Shaman. Is The Force, the connection of all things, just a reworking of Welsh indigenous belief? Are the Jedi just Knights of the Round Table? Is Star Wars just lifted from Welsh cultural heritage? Or are they just examples of Jungian archetypes?

No, in Judaism the messiah to come when all Jews have come back, sends such a ripple through the fabric of this existence that you will see.

@@Just9n__depends. Hindu refers to residents marked by the river Sindh (Indus). They don't all have one religion, and the canonical religion, Vaidika Hinduism (based on Vedas) does not have a caste hierarchy. It only has "colours", with no hierarchy. The castes (Jaati) were a Dravidian (pre-Vedic) tradition which too wasn't oppressive on its own. But then they incorporated the Vedas to mix castes with colours. Vedas viewed the society in a new structure, with Academics, Warriors, Businessmen and Workers, while the Dravidian culture established that structure with the castes (profession by birth, not by choice) and that's when oppression began. They started viewing the Academic castes as superior and the Workers as inferior, justifying it with the Vedic scripture which said the Thinkers are from the Head of God, and Workers are from the Feet of God.
So, those who studied the Vedas wouldn't be the ones oppressing them, it's just a cultural tradition independent of the religion.
I'm from a community historically considered as a Worker caste, which only got the right to education in 1919 following a protest, but still I know well enough about the religion to know that the religion is not the same as the culture.

Hinduism (Sanatan Dharma) literally says "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" in the Upanishads. It says to its followers not to show anger (krodh) to others to achieve liberation from cycle of birth and death (moksha).
Sanatan Dharma is one of the most tolerant religions out there because of these teachings. It truly is beautiful and I am proud to be a part of it.
Thank you for sharing.

Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood...

@@BenLlywelyn - Thanks a lot bro for doing a grt job on Sikhism. We often get confused with other religions.
The Dao does not need to convert because the Dao is already within, it’s only up to the individual to seek it within themselves. The Dao as the eternal nameless is of 1000 names. It accepts all names and is attached to none.
same for all sanatan religions like hinduism, buddhism, jainism and sikkhism
I heard that Hindus 🤔are seekers. Because of that, they are four ways in finding the Truth for them:
1. Karma yoga ( doing action, e.g like helping poor people)
2. Bhakti yoga( through devotion of any one divine you choose)
3. Janna yoga( through intelligence, eg. Scientists, Atheists)
4. Kriya yoga( through energy, eg. yoga, meditation )
So that's why many other religions of the world also fall under Hindu culture. Better known as" Sanatana Dharma. It shows the freedom and tolerance for each individual to find his/her spiritual journey. 🙏🏻
Hindus and Jews have never fought each other much. Which is a blessing.
I've studied islam since 2016 quite extensively, and this is what I have learned: It isn't a religion, not even by islamic standards. It is a an "order" as in social order, set of rules, a "deen". For all practical purposes islam is its law, sharia. Its priests of all levels are not holy men as westerners understand it. They are lawyers, dancing to a tune 1400 years old that cannot be changed or trifled with. According to sharia all humans are born as muslims. Nobody "converts" to islam, because according to them people joining islam "returns" to it. The 9th chapter of the quran is a call to war to take over the world by dawah (mission) or the sword. This take-over is done region by region, by moving from lands called Dar al-Islam (The House of Islam) into Dar al-Harb (House of War) where muslims are in minority. When they feel more secure in numbers, they will start to demand political rights, claiming they are attacked and mistreated, demanding blasphemy laws in concordance with sharia, that says that neither the prophet, muslims nor islam may be criticised, because that is a capital crime. The last step, when muslims are in majority, they move to the last stage of the hostile takeover, in open offensive jihad. Suffices it to look at the news now to see where this is heading. They even have their own "Human Rights" called the Cairo Declaration (CDHRI) where the earlier first article did expressly call only those who submit to allah "human". Since 2021 the words are softer, but the message remains if one knows how to interpret the words.
Muslims are a motley crew, but islam is deadly. "A far-right extremist death cult", as even some muslims wanting to reform it says. The most important thing for a muslim is to follow the example of the prophet, a sex offender, pedophile, warlord, slave owner and notorious liar. If he ever existed. There are more and more indications pointing to Mhmd being a corruption of Jesus himself. It was never "Mohammad" as a name, as the vowels weren't indicated in the Arabic of that age. That came later. "Mhmd" also exists in Hebrew, and in the bible it simply means someone or something beautiful and glorious. Everything except the Standard Islamic Narrative itself points in the direction of islam being a faith created in 691 AD for political reasons. The first coins have Christian crosses and fires of Zoroaster on them together with the word MHMD.
Totally agree. In short, it was a Nazi cult that was never got defeated and has grown like cancer and captured 57 countries and brainwashed 1.8 Billion people as followers.
you forgot to mention that you studied Islam from mcdonals university, Because I'm a muslim, and to be precise, only about 20% of what you said is correct..., I can and would continue arguing with you about this, but I got somethings to do...

I'll assume first that you understand what the verses mean first-hand(you know arabic) or you've looke up tafsirs, so I wont have to explain anything in them to you
1- that's during war, specically the battle of badr in madina, and given the fact that modren warfare isn't any better, I doubt that its a thing to just hold Islam accountable to.
2-jihad is a term approximated and generalized to 'religious struggle'(because there are mulitple types of it), it does not neccisate fighting, nor killing, nor anything of that, infact, a preacher teaching about the dangers of alcohol in a westren country can be technically considered a jihadist.
3-self defence is not a crime
4-leaders TEND to value the people they relate to most or who they get most benifit from doing so, I mean for all the social developpement in the west, racism STILL exists in some aspects and they DO leak up to politics if it's bad enough(ex: trump)
5- you're gonna call people claiming 2+2 = 5 idiots, it's the same thing here
6- just read the verse before it, harsher punishments for murder and terrorism don't mean more violent
etc... but I got other things to do, so have a great day!
@hothdog Where does Mohammed say that this is only during war? Where does he say that jihad can be fought without the sword? Give me a verse from the Quran or any authentic hadith and I'll believe you.

If you watch at 1.5x Speed, he sounds normal
I do the opposite. I slow people down when I watch videos.
A video about Shinto and Marxism would be appreciated.
I never thought I would say those two words in one sentence.

@BenLlywelyn yes, indeed
Marxism isn't exactly a.. religion per se
i am a buddhist from birth and all of my family relatives are also buddhist. I read books about buddha and listen to monk's preaching since i was a kid and since then i had questions and doubt about buddhism.When i was a teenager i started considered myself as atheist and then learned about christianity and became a follower of jesus for awhile at that time i was much more judgemental than i was. before. After a while i became an atheist again and did research about religions again like christanity, islam, dao, hinduism and judaism. While learning about those religions in depth, i came across a videos of christians's testimonies about hell and i was so scared and thought " this is it. i need to follow jesus" and i decided to be a believer of jesus again but then for 3 days i was so scared that i couldn't even sleep in the dark anymore. My mind was full of fears for those 3 days and i decided to do research about buddhism again that's when i understood everything about buddha's teachings and the questions and doubt i had about buddhism when i was young were answered and gone and found peace. I'm not even scared of hell or gods anymore.
and for me we can't prove or disprove the existence of god and we don't know for sure which is the only truth so i rather decided to find peace than the truth which we will never find unless we die.
I am glad you found peace
Dao was my favorite and I would love to see in-depth video about Shinto. Very well done on this one.
Thank you for saying so. Shinto will require some reading.
Religion for Breakfast has a pretty good video on Shinto until then.
@ thanks! I just watched their videos for Halloween and ended up sharing it.
Shinto is cool but it’s practically impossible to practice outside Japan because Japan is where the kami live.
As a Shia Muslim some Shias don’t care about monotheistic religions, like anyone who believes in one God even if not fully religious we treat them as our brothers. Although some Shias are unhinged.
That is good. Thank you for tolerance.
@ its integrated in my belief
Funny thing: While the west is obsessed with Weltschemtz, guilt and woke diversity and inclusion (by diversity meaning forcing certain beliefs on everyone).
A lot of Muslims use it and say something among "Oh you believe one god, you're on the right path to become Muslim".
There is an idea floating amongst western Abrahamist religion followers that there is one god, meaning that Christians, Jews and Muslims believe the same one, just not in the right way...
At the same time if you go to some countries of "the religion of peace" you could be prosecuted and killed for having a bible. If you say the same thing they use here to try to convert you - that christians and muslims realy believe the same god - its a "blasphemy" r whatever you shit people call it and unishable by death.
In general i would believe everyone has ritht of their own way and chose their faith.
But what gets me angy is in some ways nothing has changed since 12th century.
"Olde European" countries pushed their monotheisim to north and east europe, prosecuting people. If I would start writing things christians did to my people, youtube would delete this coment.
In the present day of "Diversity and inclusion" i would still be attaced for my pagan simbols and beliefs. Christians who see a swatika (we hawe many more symbols, call them runes if you like, but for*reasons* swastika is most illfamous) and rougly know about paganism would be angry because the polytheist links, the rest would judge for german hystory.
In 12th century my ancestors fould be attacked and told what to do by christians. In the 21st centrury the islam-christian circus would still speak shit because of paganism. You suposedly cant critisize muhamad, lately peple can start speaking crap of jeesus, not that many bother. But if youre a pagan - h - either people dont know - or they will force their abrahamic shit down ypur throat.
One must accept this and celebrate that. But if you follow old beliefs from before abrahamic religions were forced upon us, one is the bad guy and escape goat for everyone.
Muslims and christians, can you please throw a pile of bibles and Qurans, soak them in pig blod, and burn them?
ANd go to burn in ech orhers hell because you "pray to the same god" the wrong way?
I know what i write will upset the most.
But dont tell me about tolerance. Pagans are under the radar, but they can be ridiculed by abrahamists all the time.
We dont push our beliefs to noone. Should be more concerned about nature and balance.
Sorry, but not sorry, all the abrahamists who think they are better than averyone else, taste your own medicine an leave other people alone.

He asks me: do you pay taxes? I say yes.

19:06 any reason why you added Anglican as a distinct sect? I’ve never heard anyone make this distinction. Also, Eastern Orthodoxy is a branch of Christianity but there is also oriental orthodoxy
Anglicanism is too distinct from Protestanitism with its Catholic vestiges to be lumped in with it for me.
As an American who was raised Protestant, I believed that Anglicans were just laid back Catholics until I read more about the faith. They look very hybridy to me now.

Georgia has a 2,000-year history of coexistence with its Jewish community, known for its tradition of tolerance and peaceful relations, especially compared to broader mostly other European anti-Semitism. so when you mention only Hindus in that sense, it kind of breaks my heart.
Edit: after Babylonian conquest and persecution of jews around 6th century BC, many people moved here and made their temples there.
I know! Always amazes me. Georgia is seriously a marvel in every way. It is the coolest place I've ever been. I can't explain how much I live that place.
Exceptions, Most of the Middle East was in forever bloodshed, where as in South Asia no Dharmic religion persecuted other fellow ones, ironically we actually were invaded by Abrahamic ones and we United to defeate them
@@COEP-2025TRYTILLTHEEND : This is not entirely true. There was persecution of Buddhists by Pushyamitra Shunga, persecution of Jains by South Indian Kings, persecution of Ajivikins by Ashoka and others. However, it must be admitted that "no" scripture of any Dharmic religion support religious persecution (unlike Abrahamic religions where one can find verses that support that in their scripture) and the kings who were doing persecution in India were doing without support from scripture.
There are MANY MANY Georgian Jews.
@Lagolop indeed Mountain Jews. Some are Karaite right. Then some are Persian. I know there's a couple different strainsvof Judaism there which speaks to the level of tolerance.
Thank you for that broad insight into most of today’s main religions. Being culturally of protestant background, I never realised how much of the well-thinking “humanistic” values actually have their roots in christianity.
However, I can’t fail to notice how Abrahamic religions seem less tolerant overall compared to eastern religions. And from the former group, islam especially stands out like a sore thumb as very intolerant. Why is that? Is the Quran really worse than the Bible or the Torah? Or are those observations based on the political choices of islamic leaders?
Read the Quran with that question in mind.
the answer is yes
Scholars like Ibn Kathir interpreted many passages as condoning violence such as the infamous sword verses in Surah 7 if I recall correctly. Additionally, one of the Hadith cited is from Sahih Bukhari which is considered as authentic. This is scholarly consensus among many groups.
Eastern religions being tolerant isn't true....Japan persecuted Christians and China does as well today...
I am a former Muslim turned Buddhist. The views of tolerance of others who aren't a part of the faiths is drastic, went from being intolerant and bigoted to more of a free-thinker and a lot more tolerant. I enjoy the way Sikhs are tolerant as well, very interesting and amazing video!
As a Christian I just want to say I respect and love all people from all walks of faith. I just believe they are misguided, and because I love non believers I fear for their lives. Christ makes us better people, and he gives us eternal life. I wish everyone would have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Thank you for watching.
Don’t wish other people have a relationship with Christ. Be content in finding comfort that other people have their spiritual needs met by other means.
"It views non believers with a sense of pity because of this mix of guilt and empathy" dude's a prophet 😂
@@georgejennings8743 no, Christ is the only truth
@ why is that?
So here’s how each faith views non believers:
Sikhism: You’re cool as you are, we’re cool as we are just don’t screw with us and we’ll all be fine.
Taoism: We can all be harmonious.
Bahai: We’ve got the latest upgrade but if you’re happy with earlier program versions that’s fine.
Confucianism: I do me, you do you, just don’t rock the boat and always be polite.
Zoroastrianism: You can join us if you want but you can get to heaven if you follow the good God's ways.
Judaism: You can join us if you want or you not, but as long as you keep basic good rules, we’ll all go to heaven together.
Hinduism: Be nice to us and our cows and we can all enjoy the party side by side.
Islam: Follow our way or we’ll slaughter you. but if you’re Jewish or Christian you can live in squalor, humiliation, and deprivation and we will abuse you.
Christianity: Our way is the only way but if you don’t accept our way we’ll still love you, help you, and look after you. We pray you’ll see the light for yourself.
Buddhism: Our way brings peace but if you follow your way and it makes you good you’ll get there eventually.
QUIZZ: which one of the above is not like the others?
Tempted to make a short video with this as a script (only faint modifications).

You think Christianity spread by love? 😂

As for Islam you can’t just cherry pick sections of text and make up your own law. Muslims have their own judicial tradition that deals with non Muslims and it differs based on the region and school or sect.

Deuteronomy 7:2: "And when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy." That is from the bible. Islam is no more violent than any of the other Abrahamic relgions
@@schmlif8839 Deuteronomy 7:2 is a part of Moses’ address to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land, Canaan, following their exodus from Egypt. The book of Deuteronomy serves as a series of speeches by Moses, reiterating laws and covenant terms to the new generation of Israelites, as the older generation had largely passed away during the 40 years of wandering in the desert.
In 7:2, Moses instructs the Israelites to "utterly destroy" the seven nations occupying Canaan (the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites) without making treaties or showing mercy. This command emphasizes the importance of keeping Israel free from the religious practices and cultural influences of these nations, which included idolatry, child sacrifice, and various practices considered morally corrupt according to Israelite law.
Historically, this was a time of tribal societies, and territorial conflicts were common. For the Israelites, these instructions also reflect the belief that God was directly guiding and protecting them, intending for them to establish a distinct and holy society. The focus on destroying other nations' influence was less about ethnic hostility and more about maintaining Israel’s religious purity, loyalty to their covenant with God, and survival as a nation dedicated to Yahweh's laws and moral codes.

Could you provide the sources for the quotes used in this video? When I looked up the verses mentioned in the Islam section, I couldn't find the exact references. It seems like there might be an error with the verse numbers. Clarifying this would be really helpful, as I'm interested in exploring the sources you cited.
Google in a few relevant words or put your question to Islam Q&A. For starters check out Sunan Ibn Majah 4337.
For example, in 5:33, you didn’t include the entire verse. If you continue reading, you’ll see that it says more, and even the next verse adds further context on what to do.

There are actually more than 4 Christian sects. I'm a Coptic Christian, and our church is Oriental Orthodox.
True. I hope you fellows make it.
Brilliant video.... But just a small point to point you out. Hold on this will be a long one.....
While there is no zeal in Hinduism to deal with unbelievers like they do in the major Abrahamic faiths, there is actually a precedent of separation between those who are Hindu and those who are not.
In the beginning, the world was divided into Aryavarta (the realm of the aryas) and mlecchavarta (the realm of the mleccha). Jambudvipa (modern day Indian subcontinent) is considered as the most auspicious of land where Dharma was discovered by the Seven Sacred Sages (Saptarishis) and given to Manu (the progenitor of all mankind) is why the other name for Jambudvipa is also called Aryavarta as the people there live as per the tenants of Varnasrama and Dharma while those outside Aryavarta who didn't live as per the norms of Varnasrama therefore lived in a state of matsyanyaya (literally the law of fish where big fish eat small fish) and therefore in a perpetual state of chaos and war and were this far removed from Dharma. The farther one ventured from Aryavarta, the more "mleccha" or barbaric people became.
Jambudvipa (or the Indian subcontinent) itself was divided into many Deshas (or nations, divisions) such as Sapta-Sindhu (which is roughly the Indus river basin and it's adjoining areas), Madhyadesha (literally middle country which lay just east of Sapta sindhu and in between the Himalayas and the Vindhyas), Travidadesha (literally peninsular India which is South of the Vindhyas aka modern Southern India) and Brahmadesha (which is basically the region around modern Myanmar). The people who reside in these domains are Savarna or those who live as per their Varna. But in regions like forests, or deserts or mountains, where people do not live a settled agricultural lifestyle, they are not considered Savarna but Avarna or those without Varna... the most barbaric of Avarna are called mlecchas. Ritually speaking, in a Yajna (fire sacrifice), the Brahmin priest would sit closest to the fire and therefore closest to the Devas, the Kshatriya king who would be the sponsor of the Yajna would sit close to the priest but away from the fire while the others such as Vaishyas and Shudras who would provide gold and grain or labour or tools and vessels for the Yajna would sit behind the Kshatriya. A mleccha who lives in a state of anarchy and therefors impurity is forbidden from attending the Yajna although he may if willing can be willing to stand guard and protect the venue of the entire Yajna and therefore reap the reward of the fire sacrifice and his soul would move upward when he dies.
So you have Savarna people (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra) who live as per Dharma, then you have Avarna people (who also include outcasts) and then you have mlecchas (which later on in medieval time almost exclusively was used to mean Muslims but also used to refer to others in the Abrahamic family as a whole).
Sorry it was a long one but i hope it helped a bit for you to understand the status of "non believers" in Hinduism.
Thank you for the explanation.

In Russia’s Volga Republics (Tatarstan and Bashkortostan) as well as in Azerbaijan Islam is very tolerant. I have never heard a bad word about other religions from them!
Cool.
Chechnya however...
@@ericfoxprime Yeah, it's near Azerbaijan, however as far as I can tell, they are completely different. When I got to Baku for the first time I didn't speak Azeri, had only some knowledge of Russian, which is widespread there. People were very friendly and helpful, there was no discrimination because of religion and ethnicity. The same is true for Ufa and Kazan, for the people there, their religion is their private matter.
That's because under communist rule, religious expression in general was heavily suppressed. It's the same with Albania, Bosnia, and many Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan.

Okay I have a question. How is the Noahide laws any different than telling people what to do? I have watched rabbis discuss the noahide laws and I have to be honest, I have some big problems.
1. Their interpretation of "idols"
2. Their interpretation of "stealing"
3. Some of the sexual laws-how are they going to control that in the modern world?
There's more but I'd have to go back and rewatch the videos and take notes.
Being against adultry is shared by almost every religion, and in my opinion is just common sense for a functioning society. As for Laws telling folk what to do... Do not all Laws tell folk what do to? If you do not want to convert to Judaism and follow the 613 mitzvot but believe in Judaism, the 7 Laws are easy. If you do not wish to follow Judaism you have nothing to worry about.
@BenLlywelyn fair enough, adultery wasn't my point to be clear, I was thinking about sex outside of marriage more generally, it's just so common today. I'm married so it's not a personal concern, it was just something that crossed my mind on the list.
Yes, it is common today. And most of us have done it. Are we better for it though?
@BenLlywelyn also laws telling people what to do. I specifically meant that I don't like the definition of idolatry, and stealing. Let me be specific.
1. The rabbis that I watched seemed to be under the impression that Halloween is pagan-its not, at least not necessarily, it's an ancient harvest festival with vegetable lanterns that's native to the Atlantic Coast.
2. That Jack-o'-lantern 🎃🎃🎃 are " graven images"-literally lanterns
3. That Christians meeting in Sundays to worship was stealing - I almost get this one, but still disagree strongly
I also want to be clear that I totally support Israel, and the Jewish people. I just disagreed with the Noahide Laws, at least in the way they were represented.
@@BenLlywelyn I don't disagree with the moral stance-I disagree with the legal one. I grew up in the 90s with the Christian Right having a field day trying to legalize all forms of morality. It just creates a backlash from my perspective, even if their underlying point was correct. But it seems you're looking at more from a group of semi-Jewish people? I thought Noahide Laws were something Israel was trying to get the world to follow. There was an attempt at passing a law several years ago-so that's my context.
The description for islam too narrowed, intentional?

As a Shia Muslim, what you described are Sunnis. Shia, Ibadis, Alevis, Ahmadi, are very different, we’re the tolerant ones who have no problem with other faiths. The hadith are Sunni hadiths we don’t agree with them. Although some Shias have a thing with swords and conquest and purifying the Sunnis to Shias called Safavism which wants to convert Sunnis to Shias to make Islam true and free from the fake Sunnis and only let the true Muslims exist in the Islamic world.

You literally teach that unbelievers (of islam) are unclear. It's a fact that you banned jews from going outside when it was raining, because you believed we would stain the water and thus the soil. Oh and by the way, who is funding terrorists? The shia-state of iran. So stfup about this "shias are different from sunnis" bs, no one believes your lies unless they are dvmb lefties. All Hail Adonai, Long Live The People of Jisrael!
As a Wiccan Witch we believe you have a right to do as you will as long as you cause no harm. We don't look for converts. We don't believe in Hell or a Devil. You are not born with the stain of sin, you don't need any kind of salvation. In general we believe in an afterlife and many believe in reincarnation. It is a religion tied to the rhythm of Nature and the wider Cosmos. We see the Divine as two Energies personified as the God and Goddess.
What about the times a person thinks they’re doing no harm but learns from experience or consequences that harm was indeed being done? Are we the best judges of such things?
I mean that's more or less Hinduism.
I’m cool with Wicca.
I’m cool with any religion except Islam and mind control cults.
There are a few sects of Islam that are decent because they reject the Hadith but these are marginal.
My experience of Wicca is strange D&D people and men who like spandex, which frightens me.
A few questions about Wicca as a Brazilian:
These energies already existed before the universe? Are these energies separate or part of nature? Can you know these energies? Are they conscious? Do they act on the natural world or are indifferent to it?
Interesting video. I have found Hinduism to be the most tolerant religion and have converted to it. Many other religions are also very tolerant.
According to the "Abrahamic faiths", "there is only one God." As Hinduism views everything and everyone to be a manifestation of their supreme deity Brahman, many Hindus will tell you that "There is ONLY God."

Loved your video, Ben. Thanks.
Welcome.
Sir,the issue is rather simple and originates from monotheistic 3 Abrahmic faiths which are exclusive in their core in different ways dividing humanity as a binary:
believers vs non - believers .
The conflicts between the 3 started within Abrahmic faiths.
Forms of exclusivity in 3 Abrahmic faiths.
1. Judaism: jews as chosen people of their God Yahweh. No proselytizing. Not bothered about other 2 Abrahmic faiths which appeared much later.
2. Christianity: Only savior ,Jesus Christ. Systematic Proselytizing through clergy. Jews should believe in Jesus Christ and embrace Christianity.In fact all apostles of Christianity were jews as was Jesus Christ(not related to
Abraham)
3.Islam: A very strong division of humanity between Muslims vs Kafirs. Jews and hristians are also Kafirs. Violent Proselytizing by sword and caliphate. Conversion of kafirs to Islam is a covert tenet of islam where every muslim must convert kafirs to upgrade his status in Jannat.
He needs to ignore reason in order to be accepted by his new Jewish friends. He doesn't care about us gentiles anymore nor what we say with our reasoning. He just wants to be accepted by Jews now.
Islam in reality has nothing to do with Judaism and Christianity besides the inspiration it took from them and twisted 180°. It's a man-made personality cult introduced by a violent pedophile who broke every commandment that God has given the Jews and that the Christians also adopted. To call it an Abrahamic religion is an insult to Abraham.
Judaism actually can proselytize if it wants to. It just doesn’t hold you have to follow Judaism to gain salvation.

Quick question. Would you consider Post-Modernism a religion?
No one intellectually serious has laid out that specific theory in a convincing way, especially without strawmanning tf out of postmodernism and/or degrading to “it’s wordy and I don’t like that.” Postmodernism has many flaws but calling it a “religion” because you don’t like it shows a personal devaluation of religion, philosophy, and intellectualism overall.
Post-Modernism is not a religion. It is a Jewish attack on Gentile nations.
No, I consider post-modernism just 1 denomination of the Marxist faith.

(3:85) ''And whoever seeks a way other than this way a submission (Islam), will find that it will not be accepted from him and in the Life to come he will be''.
(47:4) ''So when you meet the disbelievers in battle, strike their necks until you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind them firmly''.
(5:33) refers to the people of Hilal Ibn 'Uwaymir who killed another group of people from the Banu Kinanah. The Banu Kinanah wanted to emigrate to Medina to see Allah's Messenger (pbuh) and declare their Islam.
You also forgot to mention these
(2:224) "And do not make [your oath by] Allah an excuse against being righteous and fearing Allah and making peace among people. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing".
(4:90)''Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty or those who come to you, their hearts strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their own people. And if Allah had willed, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you a cause [for fighting] against them''.
(5:32) "If anyone kills a person, it would be as if he killed the whole people: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people"

Modern wokism is also a religion: you can overlay a map of areas in which calvinism was the dominant form of religion onto a map of regions that today vote for "woke" policies, and it's a 1:1 correspondence. Wokism is 21st century calvinism - they rejected god but kept the judgement, authoritarian tendencies, "thought crimes, etc." Nathaniel Hale would feel very comfortable with 21st centruy cancel culture.
Fascinating! Wait a few decades, maybe Woke will write a holy book.
Huh?
There's no such thing as "wokism." Things that are considered 'woke' include being decent to queers, acknowledging historical injustices, etc. Nothing Calvinists would approve of.
But you'd know that already, if you knew anything about either subject.
@@Cascadiarch \It's not about being decent to queers, it's about accepting modern gender theory. It's not about just acknowledging that our societies have done bad things *like every other society,* it's about accepting conflict theory as the singular narrative of history. It's about controlling how people think, and your thoughts, not your actions, make you a good or bad person. Being woke is equivalent to being "saved,' and like with Calvinism, salvation can be lost. Public confession and repentance is required of those cancelled. There's a small group of "Chosen," the people who are awake to conflict and gender theory, and then there's everyone else, the ignorant of the world. Idk man.... sounds pretty Calvinist to me...

As a Buddhist it’s actually quite saddening how you portray Islam as this evil force that relies on subjugation when Christianity and other religions in this video have done such things at points of their history as well. It’s ahistorical and blatantly just shows you have this bias towards other religions compared to Islam, I’ve grown up with Muslims and they are some of the most amazing people you will ever meet, I pray that your mindset on the religion changes overtime
History is historical. I am talking of how a majority today view other faiths within a faith, even if there are moderates.
You should know how the Muslims treat your people in Myanmar. Indonesia and Malaysia are the exceptions, because they were uniquely converted to Islam through trade rather than conquest, but if you go further west, you will not find a single country where a Muslim majority tolerates a Buddhist minority, nor where a Muslim minority respects a Buddhist majority.

From what i have understood in the Protestant and now Catholic teaching I have received, Hell is merely the separation from God.
Eternal life is offered to us through Christ alone, but that eternal life, Heaven, has a dual character: both now and not yet.
So of course Christianity is a prostelisyzing framework -- who wouldn't want to share the news of the Gospel, that Heaven has touched the Earth in the body of Christ and through Him we have a clear path to it / eternal life?
That all our hopes are fulfilled? That the Lord of the Creation has heard our cry and answered it? That we have been shown how to once again be truly human?

Wrong, European Democracy polity etc are From Greeko Roman Paganism with only 2000 years Thin Veil on it, over 8000 years of Greecko Roman and Egyptian Paganism.
Christians have strong brainwashing to make the weak and ignorant credit it for pagan achievements.
again wrong, greek democracy has almost nothing to do with modern democracy, the greek democracy was rooted in the belief that the athenians were superior to all, modern it is the belief that everyone is equal and should have free will to chose their path even if that path is bad.
The problem with this claim, from my understanding, is that the British were not reading about ancient Greece when creating their democracy. If you think about it, you prolly already know this. At what point did Europe start focusing on finding and reading about Greece and Rome? Just before the Renaissance, Renaissance means rebirth and refers to them starting to look to these past civilizations for influence. The Brits formed the Parliamentary system hundreds of years before the Renaissance. Once the Renaissance happened we did add old ideas to the mix, especially America focusing on ancient Rome.
Within a few hundred years of Renaissance these democracies became more democratic than the ancients would have dared. Universal Suffrage, making slavery illegal, personal privacy and many other policies make us very unique compared to the ancients, even when compared to a couple hundred years ago.
There are a number of other democracies that were formed without knowledge of the Greeks, my favorite is the Iroquois, but I'm biased because the Iroquois were part of what inspired the separation of powers that is very unique to America.
There's always a chance that someone in Britian in the 1200s was reading about the ancients and had a hand in creating British democracy, but I am not aware of such a link. 😀
@foundingfarther British Democracy actually Comes from Anaglo-Saxon Tribal Council Tradition as an Advisor body of The Chieftain, later Imposed on to the English King, and also Danelaws later Influenced it.

Hinduism is so aggressively diverse that you will find Hindus who will say things like "There is a monotheistic and a polytheistic interpretation of this text, and both are legitimate an crucial parts of the faith." Simultaneously, until the period of the Raj the practice of Saati, widows being expected to throw themselves on the funeral pyre of their husband, was widespread, moreover human sacrifice was not unheard of among devotees of Kali, and typically took place at temples dedictaed to her. While both are illegal now, Occasionally a Hindu will sacrifice one of their children, normally in secret, and a number have been prosecuted for doing so. Temples to Kali still exist, but now only sacrifice animals.
In both the cases of sati and animal sacrifice, you're almost presenting them as if they were general practices, when in reality both were extremely fringe practices performed by a very small, isolated group to begin with.
Human sacrifices are literally prohibited in various scriptures, including those that specifically talk about the Kali yuga and its practices. Also, to say that animal sacrifice is performed at Kali temples is also a massive overstatement, since among the thousands of temples there are only 2 temples where animal sacrifice is performed in the entirety of India, and those temples have been under heavy scrutiny by other schools of Hinduism including vast majority of the kali worshippers themselves for the longest time.
Also, on the topic of sati, the vedas have mantras for the remarriage of widows, which itself shows that this practice goes against the core principles and was fringe and extremist in nature practiced by a very small number of people. I would also recommend the book by historian Meenakshi Jain. She very meticulously presents primary sources to point out the common misconceptions, generalizations, and exaggerations around the practice of sati and how there's a huge difference when you compare the data between government officers and evangelists with obvious motives.
Thankfully the British ended the widows' fire thing, or least ourlawed it.

What he presents is exactly what Islam is all about. The majority of Islamic nations, it doesn’t matter how progressive they are like Saudi, or U.A.E or Qatar, they still follow violent principles mentioned in the Quran. You can have neighbors like in the area I live in where you have afghan’s believing cutting someone’s hand off if they steal is a good thing and you have a neighbor from Morocco thinking it’s good to kill Jews. The irony of all this, they are good neighbors. But they still have this, quiet, primitive mentality that doesn’t fit in western thinking.
If you want more information about this religion, there’s a great channel by this Saudi ex-Muslim whose goal is to bring forth these facts about Islam, and have a down to-earth conversation about its origins and belief and some history and the multiple inconsistencies it has concerning biblical Jewish figures like mistaking Maryam (mother of Jesus) for Miriam, sister of Moses. That and other tidbits. His channel is called: CIRA International

With the view that this topic is not about religion in its entirety, i need to point out a couple of fundamental errors regarding Free Will in Buddhism. There is free will in the conventional term but there is also dependent origination at play in "Free Will". Nevertheless, Buddhism has been said to be the only faith able to formulate a religion & code of ethics (within the 5 precepts) that is universal & valid for all humanity regardless of race, culture, religion/atheist & gender/LBGQTI+🙏
I don't use Buddhist label anymore after comprehending the teaching of Buddhism itself. In my experience, Buddhism can even go along with materialism and this is going to be controversial for a lot of traditionalists; I'd argue that attachment to 'name' and 'form' is still nonetheless, an attachment. In fact, I would even say that understanding in materialism would even be beneficial to comprehending Buddhism.

Having read the major texts of the religions you mentioned when I was 11-13 ,I liked the Upanishads the most and the Koran the least..even writing home to mum from Boarding school, I thought the Koran was the most dreadful ,evil book I'd ever read in my life! But to be fair, there are sections in the Old Testament that are equally unpleasant and the account of the massacre at Jericho is possibly the most disturbing from the ancient world? Catherine Nixey's book, 'The Darkening Age The Christian Destruction of the Classical World', gives a good compilation of how extremely intolerant many Christians were when they came to power. There are some interesting theories about Islam, how it might have evolved when a large group of Syrian Christians were forcibly relocated to Merv, that 25% of the Koran is better understood in Syriac Aramaic, and later when these groups were only understanding Arabic their origins were misunderstood...but considering Theodosius's edict in 391 making it illegal to be Pagan and punishable by death, the Muslims seem to have followed in spirit the usual trends of the early Christian church.
The difference is Islam never went through the Enlightenment, Christianity and Judaism did.
Are you saying Dao was Dao before it was dao?
Dao is not concerned with what I have to say.
Christianity is more expansive and aggresive than islam, only it doesn't claim the state power. It just goes toghether from the times of Rome with secular christian conquerors making sure local subjegated peoples forgive them. This is forgiveness in christianity

The indigenous culture and belief of Wales. Is Obi Wan from Star Wars really just Merlin, the Shaman. Is The Force, the connection of all things, just a reworking of Welsh indigenous belief? Are the Jedi just Knights of the Round Table? Is Star Wars just lifted from Welsh cultural heritage? Or are they just examples of Jungian archetypes?
Well you explained what religions think about other religions. I'd be interested to know how they see non religious, naturalists, agnostics, atheists ect.
Atheism and believing in a false god is similar in my view.
@@BenLlywelyn Not at all. Atheism is simply the lack of believe in any particular deyity. It is in a way the most neutral epistomological stance.
Great video I'll sup for you're future content.
Thank you very much
I'd love to see a video about shinto, and also one about why marxism is a religion. Honestly, I noticed the behavior of marxisms resembling that of religious fanatics, but I haven't managed to articulate properly this whole idea
It is one I need to think about how to structure, the Marxism video. Shinto as well, will take some basic reading.
Great video. Thanks
Welcome!
Politically I have never observed tolerance towards the world other than the Chinese or perhaps Pakistani but that is more cultural than religious.
There are many other cultures.
You mentioned, and then skipped right over the part where Judaism requires the rest of us to worship the God of the Tanach.
No, in Judaism the messiah to come when all Jews have come back, sends such a ripple through the fabric of this existence that you will see. We don't have to force anyone to believe what is true, our Creator is stronger than that. Israel is some kind of spiritual charging device that helps bring the messiah.
I could never.
I would say that european society is based on judeo-christian system, beliefs, ethics. This is how it is called in history books. Even though, today, many are atheists, the system based on is judeo-christian . And I hope it stays that way !
No such thing as judeo christian
@@shafsteryellowHmmm. If you look at a christian bible you will both old and new testament. There is also Jesus Christ, Mary, mother of God, 12 apostoles at least …There saints in christianity like prophet Elijah, prophet Elisei .. also 10 commends, the psalms… so, do you think thare is a judeo christian system of belifs and ethics ? Also you could dive in a very vast pool about the history of religions and search for yourself. Also, this is m😢 opinion and some other millions .
