At the very minimum, you should take a world religion class if you want to be taken seriously???
And your post is for sure a shining example of "intellectualism".
Or just like grouping two beliefs with about half the worlds population together?
Google says there are 2.2 Billion practicing Christians and 1.8 Billion practicing Islam.
How many Billion people are you referring to when you use the word "retarded"?
They are grouped together by size and by the fact they both prey on children as their main recruitment targets
Do you think "christanity and islam" should never be together in a sentence just because they differ in some aspects that are irrelevant to this conversation?
Who were you referencing that's incredibly retarded?
It is not a part of any of your examples.
Anabaptist out of Christian sects had the right idea in my opinion.
But christianity and islam are still the biggest MLM schemes in the world, however they work slightly differently.
Instead of being incentivized to recruit people around you, you are incentivized to create your own recruits by having as many children as possible and it's absolutely expected that you will "recruit" them. Also they love proselytizing (religious education etc) in schools, even though they don't care about doing it to adults. They know children are softer targets, and if they don't convert them before they reach adulthood, they're way less likely to succeed.
Basically it's all about proselytizing to children instead of adults. Get them while they're young!
