It's way too simplistic for my liking. It is also misleading

[Swaggin916]

The Eastern Asians stuck with what worked.

[nightprowler10]

So basically spread of religions they gave enough of a shit to cover.

[Dresta]

lol Judaism.

Would be better if it had some of the dead religions getting trampled as well.

If only that bellend Constantine hadn't gone with Christianity eh?

Dumbass. They were even up in Spain for, like, 800 years from ~700 to ~1500 main. Only King Charlemagne was able to stop 'em from advancing deeper into Europe (in yr 800). That's one reason why white people celebrate him today.

meh...men kill and belittle women...the religion part is just an excuse to do it

besides do you know how much charity work is done by churches?



bottom line it's not "religion" that is "good" or "bad"...it is the "humans"

people need to stop blaming religion and start blaming the actual people

You are a fool. I bet your favorite example is the crusades, huh? Well, guess what. That was a result of OVERPOPULATION in Europe, which was the result of CLIMATE CHANGE (Shit got warmer, more food was made, more people were fed, and more ****** survived. It's called the mother****in' medieval warm period.) The ****** said, ****, we got too many ****** close together up in this bitch, and black on black crime is risin' through da roof! Whatta we do?

Please note that the MWP lasted from about 1000 to 1250 AD. Also note that so did the crusades. OH SHIT!!!!@!#@!@

White people? What? You do know there are white muslims aswell? Islam is just a religion, an ideology, not a god damn race you tard... just because the origin of the religion is from the middle-east doesnt mean a milky white human muslim is not white because he is a muslim... what a stupid thing to say... hell you have a 100% slavic country in the middle of Europe (Bosnia) being mostly muslims.... i know, i am one of them.... hell and i even have blond hair/blue eyes and am so pale i cant even stand 10 mins in the sun without burning myself to death...

Are you a white guy & christian? Well where do you think christianity came from anyways? North Pole? Hell, you are bowing down to a middle-eastern jew on a cross... Thats right... you aint white either.... :P

That my opinion tell me one thing that Religion did to make the world a better place to live it divides us not bring us together.

[Trollsmasher]

1:00 the swarm begins

Too bad that mass murderer and pedophile did not die during his birth.

[Budadiiii]

If you're not religious, then you're a ****ing idiot, period

On average, religious folk live longer than non-religious folk.

Longevity > Ego

Idiots.
