Is it true the #1 biggest anomaly in human history was the founding of Christianity and the #2 is the founding of Islam?

>>17868023 (OP)
Islam has the Birmingham Quran manuscript at least.
Nothing so close in Christianity.

>>17868023 (OP)
Biggest anomaly is smoothbrains thinking desert cults are unique and not standard issue Bronze Age. Both religions just remixed older myths (Christianity = Judaism + Hellenism, Islam = Christianity + Arab paganism + Zoroastrianism).

#1 yes why everyone started worshiping a crucified peasant is inexplicable

#2 is not anomalous at all it was just made as the ideological backbone of an empire to rival Christendom. All the earliest islamic inscriptions are anti christian polemics. The entire religion is just a political system like communism

>>17868023 (OP)
The emergence of the Roman Empire. The Incan Empire is equally as impressive and strange of a state. Essentially everything going right into creating a culture which can sustain centuries of large scale constant warfare which no other sedentary society could maintain

>>17868023 (OP)
What do you mean by anomaly?
Considering massively important religions have been made by random people relatively frequently, (Buddha, the aforementioned Jesus and Mohammad, the one dude who made the influential, but extinct Manichaeism, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Confucius) I'm not sure I agree with you.

>>17868023 (OP)
No. I was going to say the antichitera mechanism is an anomaly but if you know history in context there are no anomalies. Maybe the fact that plot armor is a real historical phenomenon may count as an anomaly, but an esoteric chad like me questions even if this can be called an anomaly.

>It's crazy that in an empire full of mystery cults that one that said you will get eternal pleasure and your enemies eternal suffering just by believing in this cult spread

>>17868594
Lol no the idea of a physical resurrection was rather revolting to nonjews back then. Also that's a completely outdated historical understanding but regardless yes when it involves worshiping a crucified Jewish peasant that is bizarre. Literally the most embarrassing idea imaginable it's why basically all the competing versions had something to do with saying Jesus wasn't actually crucified but was just a phantom of some sort larping as if he were crucified. There's also no reason for his followers to think he rose from the dead because that had no precedent in Judaism and every other messianic movement ended when their leader died. It is anomalous by definition and there's good reason most nonreligious scholars on this are agnostic as to what happened because it's a mystery that defies historical expectation

>>17868657
>the idea of a physical resurrection was rather revolting to nonjews
Not only was it not revolting, it was seen as pretty normal. That's a real world thing that happens. That's why only one book mentions that he was resurrected after three days, because people come back from the brink or the appearance of death after a short while all the time but to do so after three days would be proof of death.

>>17868664
No the pagan ideal was to become a spirit and leave physicality behind

I'd say so.

>>17868657
>Lol no the idea of a physical resurrection was rather revolting to nonjews back then
Stopped reading right there. Pagan figures like Dionisio and Osiris were thought to ressurect bodily. Read a real history book and put down the apologetics.
>>17868685
There wasn't just one pagan ideal.

>>17868788
You're an idiot, we're talking about the final destination of one's afterlife.

>There wasn't just one pagan ideal.
No shit but the evidence we have indicates eternally living in a physical body wasn't something they liked back then

Neither of you know what an anomaly is. Enjoy burning.

I can’t take Christian threats of hell seriously because according to Islam, Christian’s all go to hell

>>17868023 (OP)
That is not historys biggest anomoly. Historys biggest annomaly is Julius Caesar.

We owe all of Romes success entirely to the victory of Julius Caesar. I dont think people properly appreciate the miracle Caesar accomplished. Empires only last 250 years yet rome lasted 2 cycles of 450 years. Why???

Because at the end of one of the cycles rime went thru 80 years of timmult from the grqcchi bros to marius and sulla. The roman republic for all intents and purposes should have collapsed with the catalinian conspiracy. But then something happened. Cicero summarily executed the rich corrupt elites. This gave caesar a window to rise to power and then what happened when he won? He won so spectacularly and killed every single corrupt elite so hard that he had time to fix the economy. Pay off the debts and even fixed the entire calander so well we still use Caesars leap year today.

The momentum caesar built up threw europe into prosperity, and gave future leaders a model to strive for that caesars europe lasted all the way until the death of fucking Charlamagne 900 years later.

Europe would literally be Africa or Asia tier if it wasnt for Julius Caesars victory that purged europe of the corrupt elites that always seek to suck the wealth and prosperity of a society

>>17870085
History is altered.
The millennium kingdom happened and what we are left with today are traces that we call Caesar's Roman empire.
We are living in a post Christianity world of hell, post rapture, post salvation, that's why there are so many "Christian" denominations. Because what we are left with are traces of traces and kike alterations. This is actually a hell realm ruled by demons and dark forces, that's why there is no sliver or hope ever and forever. It's actually over.

rise of islam is as miraculous of a event as one can get, mere decades barely any followers in a hostile bedouin arab city to ruling from Morocco to the sindh, even pushing up on the chinese

>>17870113
I agree, and if it weren’t for muhammeds actions the Arabian peninsula would’ve been irrelevant throughout history

>>17868023 (OP)
There have been over 9,000 sects of those religions through history, how are they an anomaly?

>>17868788
>Pagan figures like Dionisio and Osiris were thought to ressurect bodily. Read a real history book and put down the apologetics
This exactly. The Bible isn't even consistent about whether resurrection is bodily or abstract and both of those concepts preexisted.

>founding of Christianity
Weird as fuck, still can't comprehend how did it become successful.
>founding of Islam
Mostly organic, makes sense, not suprised.

>>17870545
>Weird as fuck, still can't comprehend how did it become successful.
Support from the Roman government.

For humans it's the evolution of Hominina, then neolithic revolution. Then probably Christianity and Islam.

>>17870552
Christianity was already popular before constantine.

>>17870599
Now I'm not disagreeing- but I'm curious why you think this is true.

Irrelevant to the point anyone was making. You're Christian so I can't expect better but try to make a smarter post.

There was also Atenism, it didn't quite stick around, but shows that proclivity towards monotheism goes further back.
