There’s some truth- Christianity in the west in the last couple of centuries has largely given up as a source of law or as the overall shaper of society. Byt its own historical standards and the standards of any serious religion/belief system, at any rate. It became a religion of personal conscience, as many commentators are wont to put it.

There is a case to be made that this constitutes unconditional surrender, since it is just replaced by other metaphysical beliefs whether or not derived from it, and however inchoate and difficult to single-name. Certainly I can imagine even some quite not-extreme Muslims considering this the wrong path for their civilization’s future.

But it’s true that Christianity has trod this path and Islam largely has not, at least not yet.

On a broader level, the distinction can be self-serving. All religions may not put the same emphases in the same place, but they all try to describe some kind of structure to the universe, some meaning to it, to connect that to the meaning of human existence, and to lay down templates for society and human conduct. To be a source of law. All the Abrahamic religions in particular. But not only them.

Polytheisms and mixed polytheisms/philosophical/mystical systems like those of India and China have actually offered quite a bit in that last area. They’ve relaxed largely under intense millennium long military pressure from rival religious systems, the construction of new syntheses thereof, or because we sold them liberal democracy and communism more recently. So we substituted different moral/legal organizing principles based on somewhat different moral assumptions about man and the universe.

You have a failure to comprehend. That is your problem.

“Blatant discrimination.” Typical Marxist, even with weaponized word.

Jews convert outsiders when such conversion suits their purposes. They don’t like mass conversions. Jews do proselytize. Jews *don’t* want to open up their club to any outsider who wants to join. So Jews lie and say that they don’t proselytize because they want to avoid getting called out on their blatant discrimination.

Basic observation:
Jews less than 100M
Christians: +1B
Muslims: +1B

Jews: first of 3 named religion less than 100M
Christianism an evolution of Judaism many more.

Sometimes i look a Judaism and Christianity as the first is the Roman Republic and the second the arrival of Ceasar and Populism.

Both Old and New Testaments confront the problem of human depravity, but at different levels. The Mosaic law, like all legal codes, attempts to manage the consequences of human nature in society. But Christianity is explicitly about saving the individual soul from sin for a good afterlife. Christianity tries to stop the flow of vileness from the human heart, but Law only tries to mop up the spill.

Saint Paul tried to articulate this, I think. The Law doesn’t save your soul because it wasn’t intended to. Christianity doesn’t improve society because it wasn’t intended to.

When Jesus said “render unto Caesar” his point was that Roman Law is irrelevant to godly concerns. But The Pharisees saw – correctly – two competing legal systems: Mosaic and Roman. Jesus didn’t dispute this point, because he agreed on a factual level, and just didn’t care. He said, in effect: “Yeah. So what?”

False. Jews love proselytizing when it suits their purposes. Jews refuse to proselytize when it doesn’t suit their purposes. Thus the fraudulent propaganda is that Jews don’t proselytize, but basic observation disproves that.

Nevertheless, Christians, Muslims, and every political party are proselytistic, while Judaism is not. In the western world we replaced religion with politics. People today believe in politics.

The Political religion has obviously priests: they are the journalists; they define the moral. Journalists today even try to convince us the Political God can control the Climate.

Today the mass is TV news at diner time, in my country at least.

That is why no one goes to journalism school to give us the news. They go to be priests of Political God. And what is the ideology that wants to control everything, that fits better with this logic?
