The famous German army commander Erwin Rommel said : “One man is a genius; one million people are a mass of fools.”
350,000 years ago, something changed. Someone or something can become a human being. The only difference between man and animal is reason. This makes us more powerful than others on earth, but not smart enough to know the answers to these questions. Man’s existence and origins are a missing chain of knowledge that no one can reveal.
450 thousand years ago, when primitive man knew nothing of what the phenomenon of nature represented, he was considered the author of divinity inexplicable things, because of the need to believe in something higher. Thus the first religion, Animism, was created. Men chose each god by nature; the first religion was polytheism.
Man, a rational animal, overcome by the sense and fear of inferiority, dedicated his soul to the gods, in to take care that he is protected by a divine and immortal reason a>.
Astral religions represent the second part of the history of religions. 8000 years ago, when the human mind began to distinguish between instinct and reasoning, man learned more about the environment and religion became a projection of the stars. The Sumerians observed that the stars return to their position at certain times.
Modernism is the third stage of religion, the phase that represents our belief system. Belief in divinity is divided into several religions, the main ones being Christianity and Islam.
Each religion has its own way of understanding the world and human actions. This difference still leads to wars and religious conflicts between nations.
The first sacred book dates back to the Sumerian era and was discovered 1,300 years ago, entitled: “The Odyssey of Gilgamesh”. The Egyptians, the most developed people of science, changed medicine, astrology and exact sciences. of the sacred book named according to their opinions: “The Book of Deaths.” Thus, 1,000 years before our era, a new sacred book appeared, which celebrated the gods, recounting the events of greatness.
The third sacred book was written by a certain man, who was raised by Pharaoh’s daughter, named Moses. When he had access to all the books of the Emperor, he introduced changes into the sacred text, started a new religion, Christianity, and his sacred words.
Christianity originated as a religion in Asia, which originated in the world through the Roman Empire, which brought the message. There are deeper differences between nations and people, races or social status. The Christian message represents the word of God and is popular only because it promotes the religion of the poor, offended and oppressed by others or through faith, but also because it focuses on the great virtues of peace and human virtues. especially in love.
Christianity arose from Judaism, where faith in the Lord was based on the sacrifice of redemption. In Christianity there was great tolerance towards other religions or against the existence of administrative power in the name of the supreme power which was good and gentle.
The proclamation of the Christian religion as a national purely political act, which the emperor Constantine the Great undertook, not from a religious vocation, but from exclusive political interests, is confirmed by the fact that the emperor died without being a Christian himself.
Origen, the Greek philosopher, posited God as immaterial, perfect and eternal. An analysis of the Old and New Testaments shows that Christianity is a polytheistic religion, because it focuses on three great powers: God, the Father, God, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ at conception becomes another God created by God the Father, who does not want to have any connection with the material world. Jesus Christ has a mission to recreate the material world, to the idea of a successive creation of the world, beginning and end.
Christianity was implemented as the main religion of the Roman soldiers and the poor, as they were seen as slaves, in need of something or someone to protect and help. Until the Christian religion became a national singular, it was nourished by Eastern sources. Systematic persecutions, the fight religious against Eastern rites, began once with the victory and expansion of Christianity. The Roman emperors, Augustus, Nero, and Trajan, subjugated the great multitude of the people by means of religion, by sports, and by the accomplishment of the growth of the state.
The Koran, the sacred book of Islam, was conceived 600 years before Christ, written by Muhammad. A tradition, more legendary than mythological, asserts that Mohammed was carried into heaven by a horse with the head of a woman and the tail of a peacock, and became a sacred person.
The Sumerians have a similar story: Enkidu said that he was taken to heaven by a great bird, which carried him to the gods.
Such a similarity can be found in Christianity as well: Jesus rises to the port.
There are many similarities between the three different religions, the connection between heaven and earth, where someone or something from heaven in various forms, which are described by people in various forms, since no one has ever seen a god. People at that time had no knowledge and considered divinity to be the inexplicable care of all things.
In all religions and in all sacred books there are certain similarities, such as the eternal struggle between good and evil, light and darkness, so they all have the same foundation, but they interpret it differently.
The Middle Ages represents the greatest period in which all science and human development become inactive. This black age represents the transition from slavery to feudalism, where the Church and the priests possessed absolute power in the state. All the Christian nations were led by the Vatican, paying taxes to be allowed to go to war or old. life
From the year 476 to 1453 (when the fall of Constantinople took place), the Church for almost 100 years prohibited writing with more than 5 digits, so that a number with 6 digits was considered the number of Satan. Many people were held against the republic, oppressed or killed. Galileo Galilei said the Earth was round and was told by the Vatican that he was to be burned at the stake for what he had said. He was forced to remain in the public forum and refute this hypothesis, as well as that the Earth is round and moves. But after he had said in front of the crowd that it was not true, he whispered: “E pur si move” (“And it still moves”), which proves that people had no right even to express their opinion, because the Church. and the priests forbade them to think. Mathematics, medicine, astrology, and all the sciences then known were established. During the Renaissance, the world did not know any process in any region, unless it had the knowledge of its father from Antiquity.
Terrorism and Religion
Religion had and still has a negative effect on people, leading to differences between the human race and crimes in society and war.
The Koran speaks of the Jihad of the Muslims, a holy war that will make them masters of the world, as their religion will dominate.
Now religion religion no longer shows its face, leaving the political games to solve everything. In Iraq and Afghanistan, there are still wars organized by the economy and religion. The war between the Christians and the Muslims started once with the attack that took place on November 11, 2001 by United States< /a>, the war from Iraq, Afghanistan and Spain continued from the attack.
On the violence promoted by the Koran and the Bible
Some try to justify recent acts of terrorism by evoking images of violence from the Bible. Some argue that modern violence in the name of Allah is not unlike the violence of ancient Israel or medieval church leaders. Violence was used to kill those who were considered enemies of God. Many well-known people who have studied religion make associations with violent biblical stories, saying: “Even sacred stories of violence are committed in the name of God. God is indeed cruel in the first books of the Bible. He helps Israel and drowns his enemies in the sea.”
The argument that the violence presented in the Qur’an differs from that found in the Bible is usually used to refer to recent acts of violence. For example, in another article published in Newsweek newspaper in England entitled: “Why they hate us: the roots of Islamic hate- what can we do”, the Muslim professor Muslim Zakaria wrote: “The historian Paul Johnson argued that Islam is an intrinsically intolerant and violent religion. Other experts disagree, saying that Islam condemns the slaughter of innocents and condemns suicide. Here you can find persuasions and incitements to war, expressions of tolerance and harshness against those who do not believe in Allah the places he chose about Islam. Christianity is the best and the worst in man, through history it has taken on the Inquisition and antisemitism.”
Is this the correct evaluation of the Koran and the teaching of the Bible? The teaching of the Bible about violence is not different from the Koran? Does the Koran teach at the same time about war and peace, tolerance and intolerance? The last is a collection of traditions relating to the teachings of Muhammad, transmitted by certain sources.
Hatred of terrorism
The humiliation experienced by Muslims in the last two centuries is one of the reasons that leads to terrorism. In recent years, Muslims have not only been humiliated by Jews in Palestine, but also by Christian Serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo, by Christians in Chechnya and by Christians in Pakistan.
For some Muslims it is difficult to accept the shame of their international failure. After a superpower existed for over a thousand years, believing that Allah gave them the power to eliminate the Christians and Jews and to rule the world, they find that today they have politically led and economically controlled nations that were for the most part organized by “pagans”.
Concerned Muslims want to punish America’s anti-Islamic policies by attacking people even “in safe zones. This will make America “pay more and play less” by spending billions of dollars fighting terrorism inside and outside the country.
The threat is growing due to the development of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction, in Arab countries such as Iraq, Iran and Libya.
conclusion
It is the only religion that leads to crimes, attacks, wars, and great disasters. If we ask ourselves some questions related to religion, we would be closer to the truth. Christians and Muslims say that it is right, and that their God is true, but still both commit crimes which are not permitted by religion, although they believe that they are faithful to God;
