Holy shit NUKE THIS WHOLE AREA PLEASE
SAAAAR WE WUZ PROPHETS N SHIET
>>216322961Why include the Indus Valley and Bihar when the two big religions born there are Aryan in origin?I get it some larper timmies might be mad their ancestors got cucked into following some foreign desert religion but Indian ones are the closest to their ancestor's pagan beliefs (though not by much)
>>216322961>IMMA SEND ALL SPECIAL MESSAGES TO THIS SERIES OF SHIT HOLES SPECIFICALLYWhy is he like this?
>>216322961Also, in this area or a little to the north of it, the birthplace of Zoroastrianism should be located
>>216323651>Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Navayana, Jainism, Sikhism, Alevism, Yazidism, Druzism, Sabianism, Samaritanism, Manicheanism, Baha'i, Alawaites, Zorastrianism>All from that areaEverything between the Levant and the Ganges is mentally ill.
>>216323751>>216322961I'm switching to Daoism.
>>216323761Already outdated and replaced by Maoism.
>>216324405>Maoismcringe
>>216322961I’m a Deist.
>>216323761This is what a vril user trying to cultivate qi looks like
>>216322961>all religions>only the shitty schizo ones
>>216324417Materialism is the future. Spiritualism is for browns.
Shintoism is superior anyway
>>216323419Through god all things are possible
>>216322961its because the heat made them go completely insane

>>216322961The world would have 99% of its problems solved if India, Israel and Saudi Arabia were to be nuked.
>they were cuh-razy!you are looking back at cultures we know very little about but the most autistic output of a few eliteshave you read this text from the 21th century, they believed every kid was hyperactive autistic with BPD, we are so enlighten compared to them lol
I watched the video, and he said that because they were in the middle, that meant they traded with everybody and needed a more universalist religion for co-operation at scale. He said they invented writing and that made it easier to spread religion. I don't buy the writing argument. Writing had existed for millennia by the time all of these major religions were founded.None of these videos ever takes race, genes, and human biodiversity into account. I promise you, these people were genetically religious to begin with, which caused them to value religious people, which increased the reproduction of religious people, making the population even more religious. Polygenic scores are increasingly showing that many of the traits we thought were just environmental actually have a genetic basis. Anybody who has interacted with people from this region can tell you that they have religion on the brain in a way that is unusual to both Europeans and Asians, including Southeast Asians. Once we learn more about the genetics of religiosity, it will turn out that Arabs and pakis are simply genetically religious races.
>>216323751It's the easy access to hallucinogens, every other herb is psychotropic
>>216327320Ok that's cool and all but how do you explain "genetically religious" in a genotype to phenotype context and how did it develop with timeIt simply doesn't work that way and the proof is that people from the region can still be atheist.
>>216327732>Twin studies show that genetics play a significant role in religiosity, contributing about 40–50% to the variability in religious beliefs, especially in adults. The influence of genetics increases with age, becoming more dominant than environmental factors as people transition into adulthood. We know at the individual level that religiousness is highly heritable. It would be even more important at the group level because races that are naturally more religious will create a religious culture to force everybody in the society to get in line. >people from the region can still be atheistsThis is like saying that because there are some Japanese who are more extroverted than Sicilians means that the Japanese as a whole are louder and more outgoing than all Sicilians.
>>216327902>highly heritableThis is simply environmental, i doubt the genetic predisposition is that important. Dont forget that all humans on earth developed or adopted some kind of religion and zealotism regardless of their genetic distance if anything i'd argue that leaving faith behind is some form of mutation or anomaly>races that are naturally more religious will create a religious culture to force everybody in the society to get in line.There are other ways that society forces people to follow the rules and stay obedient. I dont believe there's a communism gene for example>This is like saying that because there are some Japanese who are more extroverted than Sicilians means that the Japanese as a whole are louder and more outgoing than all Sicilians.What i mean by that is that the genetics factor is either weak or inexistent if the social trait is so easy to supress
>>216322961I think presenting Christianity as solely Judean in origin is really misleading. It's got so many different origins, especially Greek. Also, anybody can draw an arbitrary square on earth and talk about how all x come from *this* region. It means nothing. What even ties this region together besides the fact that so many religions today come from there? They've got it in reverse.
>>216328128To be fair in this case that square shares a lot of shared history if you include egypt as well, i can see the correlation
>>216328034>Until about 25 years ago, scientists assumed that religious behaviour was simply the product of a person’s socialisation – or “nurture”. But more recent studies, including those on adult twins who were raised apart, suggest genes contribute about 40% of the variability in a person’s religiousness.Twins raised apart are similar in their religiosity or lack of it compared to the general population. What is true for individuals would be even more important for groups. Genes have a bigger effect on culture than it does at the individual level.
>>216328277>suggest genes contribute about 40% of the variability in a person’s religiousness.How is this even calculated ? I dont believe it can be quantified like that so i need to check out the paper or source.It can contribute to 99% of variability in religiousness and the 1% environmental factors would still overshadow it. Is there a "christian gene" or "ibadi gene" that makes people more likely to be either too ?
>>216322961Shinto came from Japan
>>216328329There have been quite a few twin studies showing it's 30-50% heritable in the West. IQ is 80% heritable.Some of the twin studies areThe Minnesota Twin Study, led by Thomas Bouchard Eaves, Heath, & Martin (1990s) — Virginia Twin StudyKoenig, McGue & Iacono (2008) — Minnesota Twin Family Study (MTFS)And lastly a meta-analysisZuckerman, Silberman, & Hall (2013) — Meta-AnalysisType: A review of twin and family studies on religion and spirituality.Findings:Across many datasets, heritability ranged 30–50% for religiousness and spirituality.All of these studies asked questions about religiosity.
>>216328201Egypt to Arabia to Judea to Armenia to Mesopotamia to Persia to Afghanistan to India? You could give a "shared history" to many other regions too, it means nothing. The only thing that ties these places together is precisely Islam, and so the question makes no sense. Prior to one of these religions taking over this region, nothing ties this place together more than anything else does. It's really creating a group with a random population and then asking with surprise why the population is in that group. My brother in Christ, you made up that group yourself.
>>216328489Those are all meta analysis doe
>>216328329>>216328573No, every single line was a different twin study going from the 1970s all the way to the 2000s and all getting about 40-50% heritability for religiosity. Something to keep in mind is that I am willing to bet that heritability is usually much stronger in Western countries at the individual level. This is because the West gives people maximum individual freedom, and therefore, who you end up becoming is a greater representation of your genes than in more conformist cultures like the Middle East.
>>216328128>What even ties this region together besides the fact that so many religions today come from there?The Arabian sea
>>216324533As the Founding Fathers would've wanted you to be.
>>216327644The hindu gods with multiple heads and arms and shit literally do have drug trip vibes
>>216328355Shinto also isn't a religion in the same way you don't consider runic totem worship in Scandinavia to be a religion.
