European culture has influenced the world far more than any other, and so has Christianity in terms of religion. It doesn't matter which religion Christianity originates from, it doesn't matter which religions come close to Christianity in number of adherents, it doesn't matter which religions preceded Christianity, it doesn't matter which religions have forged the culture of the most populous countries. You're just listing random facts which can in no way be used to dispute the position of Christianity as the religion that most affected the world. If you want an accurate appreciation of its influence, take countries of Christian culture weighted by wealth—sad to say, but how do the millions of people living in slums affect the world compared to the wealthy few? Europe was the centre of the world for centuries; now America rules the world, European culture still does. And when China or India become the first economic powers, this will be through and by European culture, as the reasons for their demographic transition and worldwide exposure are, respectively, European medicine and capitalism—an economic system of European origin.iambored2006 wrote:Ah, yes, sorry I forgot. Europe is the center of the world, and therefore more than 3 fourths of the world's history is just something to be ignored when talking about religion. Obviously, you must ignore Islam, because it doesn't matter if there are more than one and a half billion adherents worldwide, because it's not Christianity. Does it matter that Hinduism precedented Christianity by thousands of years and is most likely the oldest still active faith system? No, because it doesn't play an important role in history! Sure, it has affected the world's second most populous country more than anything else did, but it's not Christianity. Judaism is the source of the world's biggest religions, and it is most likely the first truly monotheistic un-pagan religion, but because Christians and Muslims both believe in the "old" testament and their own holy books, it doesn't exist anymore.
In the Bible, the word Hell is used as a translation of Gehenna, which concept isn't far from that of the Christian Hell, given how much the latter is subject to interpretation.iambored2006 wrote:And if you are a Jew and you don't want to do these things, guess what? You go to hell. Oh, wait, Jews don't believe in hell, so how is that even possible?! Hell is Christians ancient technique to make people afraid of not believing.
One side of my family used to go to church every Sunday and they were never asked to give money either; they simply did it because they wanted to.iambored2006 wrote:And when have you ever seen a Rabbi forcing some Jews to give him money for religious purposes?! I have been a Jew all my life, my whole family consists of observant Jews, and guess what? We have never, ever, EVER been asked to give money for a religious cause. We have donated to synagogues out of our own free will. And no one asks us to donate money in the Sabbath, because money shouldn't be touched in Sabbath. Does that mean that if you go to the synagogue in a regular day, they will ask you to donate money or leave? No, because that's not how Judaism works.
Not only does one have to abstain from idolatry in order to be considered a righteous gentile, which means only atheism is tolerated in such circumstances, but in any case Gehenna is considered a purgatory for sinners in Rabbinic Judaism, and since the breaking of one of the 613 divine commandments is regarded as a sin, and those commandments include the worship of the Jewish God, that pretty much sets the path straight to Hell for non-Jews.iambored2006 wrote:And another thing- Jews don't care if you're a Jew or not. Unlike Christianity, where if you dare not believe in Jesus you go to hell, in Judaism the gentiles are free to do almost (look up the seven laws of Noah) what they want.
What are you trying to achieve through ad hominem arguments like that? I'm a goy so you have to know better than me? You have studied Christianity—or, more accurately, what you have been taught of it—but couldn't I have studied Judaism myself? If I happen to say something wrong about it, let me know, explain why, and the discussion will be all the more enriching.iambored2006 wrote:I have pointed out some differences between these religions, and I can point out dozens more. Hunch, you don't live a Jewish life. You don't study Judaism 18 hours a week. I have studied Christianity extensively and can tell that these religions are so far apart that without the help of history, you wouldn't think they had any connection. The biggest difference is that Judaism is a monotheistic religion while Christianity, at least in some of its denominations, is a polytheistic religion. I am eager to hear what you have to say on the subject.

Another forum I was on (I got framed and banned) I had no idea how long I'd been banned. Apparently a month later I found out it was only a week.
Actually, I went through the whole conversation from the very beginning and no, you did not warn me. And you two and DesLife need to use your sense of humour.

Yes, I was also referring to the saints. However, Moses is not in a godlike position nor is he worshipped in any way. There are a few Jews who sort of worship big "Tsadikim". That is, famous rabbis. It's disgusting- they go to their graves and bow to them!!! Most Jews don't like that kind of behaviour.stan423321 wrote:[COUGH]
Typically ones saying Christianity is polytheistic refer to the saints. As a Roman Catholic, I absolutely see confusion here, but throwing out the saints is a bit like throwing out Moses from Judaism I suppose. He's there for a reason, but this does not mean he is treated as a god. (Yes, I know, there ARE some people finding saints demigods of a kind; still it's not like every Jew interpretes Judaism "correctly".)
