Rome didn't want to accept Islam because of the strict prohibitions against paganism and alcohol whereas Christianity was easily molded by the Vatican to cater to the Europeans who could not let go of their traditions. Even the Christian-Roman image of God is eerily similar to the depictions of their original top deity, Zeus.

@jonathanshepherd5515 You will find no argument about that. However, Constantine himself worshipped Sol Invictus and received some kind of "revelation" from the sun (according to him, apparently) which influenced his conversion to Christianity somehow. Let's keep in mind the fertility worship of rabbits and eggs, the fertility goddess Ishtar from Babylon (and several coastal mediterranean pagan religions) which all got incorporated into Easter. Or the ten day Winter Solstice celebration called Saturnalia, which showed appreciation for the end of the sun's cycle, the shortest day of the year, and end of the dreaded winter that ancient Europeans dealt with year to year for centuries. It was a holiday of drunken cheer and debauchery, and gift exchanging too. Santa Klaus is a later Germanic/Nordic addition, draped in his hellish red fur. Krampus also originates from that region. Fire worship (Yule logs), Evergreen and mistletoe worship (because they survive freezing weather), and ancient pagans in Northern Europe always worshipped reindeers (and bears). Syricans never had any experience with elves, reindeers, yule logs and mistletoes, painted eggs, or trick or treat practices. They never dressed up as demons parading through the the town asking for candy. It appears many of these traditions survived in SOME form through modern Christianity. I wonder who's responsible for that. My guess would be some kind of money making machine, which was highly organized and exclusive, and would probably need to have a good grip on the people (having some kind of claim over Rome perhaps? the largest and most prominent empire of the time, which was at it's peak and in a period of peace and stability, and were already starting to experience an influx of Germanic people by the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD). Just a thought.

@mariskamahi6335 Even the Neo-Latin languages like Portuguese and Spanish say Deus to mean God. It is you who needs to educate yourself.

@mariskamahi6335 Look it up and you will see that the Babylonians worshipped the trinity of Nana, Shemash, and Ishtar(Easter). The Egyptians had the trinity of Amun, Rah, and Tah. The Hindus have the trinity of Braham, Shiv, and Vishan. The Greeks had a Three Headed goddess of night and magic. The tribes of Western Europe believed in a trinity of three female deities known as the Matrony, before they shifted to the Pantheons. The Persians believed in a trinity of Ahora Mazda, Mithra, and Anahita. ALL pagan cultures that you inherited. Islam inherited the faith of Abraham.

@corvusglaive4804 Not really, those are heretical sects that have nothing to do with the authentic version.

Because that's exactly what they were. Jinn.

Those are all Jinn.

@@DoanhPhongBach different people used different names for the Jinn

@jadajaber Precisely, that name is not merely a corruption of the original but rather a code used to disguise their paganism. A half-god, half-man "demigod" with a divine father and human mother who becomes the saviour of humanity for his labors ? Sounds a lot like Hercules.

The difference was Mandaens are authentic just like Muslims and early Christians, but Manichaens were literally just a big trend, blending all the religions together!

@mothpark Cmon, he's obviously trolling. You're asking him for a source Lol
2
@JimOverbeckgenius Exactly. They worshipped the creator, not the creation like they were supposed to. It was the Roman popery who brought this so called godhood to a man, because they wanted to relate to their pagan roots.

All the polytheistic religions like hinduism branched off from ancient forms of idolatry and deviation from the origin in monotheism.

@parchment543 Looks who's talking 🥴🇺🇸🥴🥴

@Dvlly99 This is a fact, Mandaeism survived in the Islamic world in a way it would never have if the first Americans went there to colonize instead

Both are legitimate. Al-Wahid means "the One - the unity of all existence"

Calling upon the jinn and other types of sorcery, it's all shirk encouraged by imposters

VuahdjahfnFjakxpgmanc Spoken like a true embecile, mispelled on purpose. I never said the Vatican existed before Rome, it ecisted during Rome as an agent/shadow organisation carrying the title of Rome even long after it collapsed, like in the HRE.
1
@jadajaber It is related, and contains the meaning and symbolism of the concept of "regeneration". The cross is just one of the many pagan symbols that modern Christianity has inherited (both from Egypt and Celtic cultures, with different meanings). The other big one is sun worship (Ra) which was an even bigger deal for the Europeans because they lived in much colder climates where sunlight was critical.
1
@wendigos_eat_people7177 Yes, Babylon may have been the origin point of paganism of this variety, since it was the first civilisation to appear. The first writing systems and legal structures appeared there, so it would make sense they would develop lore which would have spread fast and wide, as civilisations began popping up all across the globe around around this time. There is a clear and confirmed connection but the exact connecting points are not yet fully clear.
1
@jadajaber That's just a distraction. They are not actually reptilians but may exhibit serpent like or reptilian features due to the presence and affliction of the Jinn.
1
Sounds like Islam
1
The Arians were the last true Christians and the heresy of the Vatican corrupted Christianity as a whole, especially in Europe from those who refused to give up their pagan traditions. This is what brought about the new wave in Arabia.
1
@JimOverbeckgenius Ok pagan man.
1
@JimOverbeckgenius Extinct yes. Christians were wiped out by Rome.
1
@JimOverbeckgenius And you're still a pagan LOL
1
That's because Hinduism and this type of trinitarian paganism is rooted in Central Asia and Persia, where the Indo Europeans originated it. Traces of it can still be seen in modern trinitarian pagan inspired Christianity as well.

Yeah I feel the same way for all of Latin America and Africa
