How different do you think Whites/Whiteness/Europe would have been if we had adopted a Dharmic religion like Buddhism or Hinduism a thousand years ago instead of Christianity? Not looking for religious debate, just curious.
>>538036109Less suicidal empathy.
>>538036109you'd be whiter.
>>538036109We do not need brownoid religions, We had our own indigenous religions, but unlike those of the Indian subcontinent, they never had the same opportunity to develop into large, continuous philosophical traditions. Hinduism and Buddhism evolved over centuries in relatively stable intellectual environments, allowing countless thinkers to build on earlier ideas. Much of Europe, by contrast, spent long periods fragmented by wars, migrations, and political upheaval, which disrupted that kind of sustained development. If European pagan traditions had enjoyed similar continuity, it's possible they could have grown into a broader pan-European polytheistic tradition with rich philosophical schools and contributions from many individualsomething I'd have found fascinating
Islamic, maybe, since Christianity acted as a unifying force against Islam and one of the big reasons those religions spread throughout the late and post-Roman world was because a universalist religion was adaptive in the context of a big mutt empire where people's connections to their pre-existing ethnocultural traditions had been eroded
>>538036109It would’ve mixed with the native pagan traditions like christianity did, the native gods would’ve turned into bodhisattvas and act like current catholic saints. We also would’ve kept the pagan local spirit cosmology of european folklore. It would end up looking like a cross of tibetan buddhism and shinto but european flavor.
>>538036109Hinduism would have turned us into an idiocracy, like it did India
>>538036109wouldn't exist lmao Europe would've been wiped out by the Mongols or Muds by that point. The jews still would've snuck in anyway, and we would be right where we are now regardless.>>538037667things would've probably been a lot different, maybe even ugly.
>>538036109>How would be the world if Jesus Christ didn't exist?Shitty
>>538036109Abrahamic religions are deranged, but -the passivity of early Buddhism that swept ancient India, replacing the more warrior-friendly Hinduism, enabled the Muslim conquest of India and the later Christian-British subjugationthat 1000 years of domination is why India is such a mess todayIndia went back to Hinduism as they pushed back the Muslims but they were still too weak when the Europeans took their turnBuddhism outside of India, seeing India get crushed by Muslims, then developed more militant forms, like you see today in Myanmar
>>538038709I think it would’ve ended up splitting into two major doctrines due to buddhism’s “passivity” and native european “warrior culture”, something similar to the prot movement. Also i don’t think a shinto-like tradition would look ugly with european pagan cosmology influencing it.
>>538036109Hinduism is a religion that simply cannot be adopted by the masses without catastrophic results. Its teachings are way too susceptible to misinterpretation and corruption. Example: India.At least with Abrahamic religions they impose some degree of social order (like the ten commandments) which can be followed by even the dumbest retard to the benefit of society. But you can't drop concepts like Atman or non-dualism or purusha and prakriti on a retard without them eventually resorting to cannibalism or eating cow shit.Thus, Dharmic religions should be treated as any other philosophy; to be studied and debated by those of sufficient cognitive ability, but elusive to those too retarded to understand.
>>538036109Europe without Christianity does not exist. Not as you know it.The Europe that conquered the world, built the university system, produced the scientific revolution, and created the artistic and architectural tradition you recognize as Western was built by Christianity. Not alongside it. By it.The monasteries preserved classical literature through the collapse of Rome. Without Christian scribes, you would not have Virgil, Cicero, or Aristotle. The universities were Church foundations. Bologna, Paris, Oxford, Cambridge were all ecclesiastical institutions. The scientific method was developed by a Catholic bishop (Bacon). Genetics by a Catholic priest (Mendel). The Big Bang by a Catholic priest (Lemaitre). The hospital system was a Christian invention. The concept of universal human dignity came from the Christian insistence that every person is made in the image of God.>less suicidal empathyWhat you call suicidal empathy is the Christian principle that every human life has intrinsic value. Remove that and you do not get a stronger civilization. You get the 20th century. The two great atheist states, the Soviet Union and Maoist China, killed more people in 70 years than all the religious wars in history combined. When human life is not sacred, it becomes expendable. That is not strength. It is barbarism with better technology.Buddhism in India collapsed before Islam because it was passive and otherworldly. Hinduism produced the caste system, which froze a civilization for millennia. Neither produced the dynamic, self-correcting, truth-seeking culture that made Europe dominant. That culture came from the Christian belief in a rational God who created an orderly universe that could be investigated, and the Christian insistence that truth matters more than comfort.You are asking what Europe would look like without the thing that made it Europe. The answer is: it would look like everywhere else that did not have Christianity.
>>538043225Wiggers think the world began in 1945, they think the millennia's of Christianity that allowed a handful of countries to dominate the world never happened, and only know of geriatric faggot kid fucking politicians on an aipac payroll worshipping jews who hate them.
