IS THERE A DIFFERENCE ?

OOPS! CORRECTION ...

Thanks to our Friend CHIP here at AD -
my Footnote saying Christianity was the Youngest was an error. It will now be corrected to 'Newest'.

Islam is Youngest, founded in 610 A.D. by Mohammed.

MYTHOLOGY vs. RELIGION
( Is There a Difference? )

Tom Hyland - © - 10/5/14




Mythology - Mostly Polytheism -

Gods, Goddesses, Spirits ...
Power Figures that Controlled Everything ...
Even Coming Down and Mating With Lowly Humans!

Ancient -

Jewish, Egyptian, Greek, Norse, The Titans ...
Roman, Japanese, Chinese, Buddhism,
American Indian, Aztec, Incan, Mayan,
Hinduism, Zoroastrianism,
And Many Others ...
Myths, Stories, Legends, Tales ...


Modern - or Rather, Currently Evolved -

Judaism - a Monotheistic Creator - JAHWEH ...
Christianity - a Two-Thousand-Year-Old Off-Shoot ...
Christ, Was, In Fact, a Jewish Rabbi, GOD - The Father ...
Islamism - Yet Another Off-Shoot - ALLAH ...

THREE DIFFERENT RELIGIONS ...
But From The Very Same Exact Roots!
Called Abrahamic Religions, from Patriarch, Abraham ...

And Yet ... ONE Wants To KILL the Other Two!
Pagans ... Heretics ... Infidels ...


Denominations, Factions, Sects -

Christianity ...

Catholicism ...
The Holy Roman Catholic Church ...
The Pope - Cardinals - Bishops - Priests - Deacons - Nuns ...

Protestantism ...
Anabaptists - Baptists - Calvinists - Evangelists -
Jehovah’s Witnesses - Lutherans - Mormons -
Presbyterians - Unitarians - Wesleyans -
And ... More, More, More ...

Islamism ...

Sunis - Shiites - Kurds -
And Many More Sects ...
In the News Now Constantly ...
That Kill Each Other!

Mythology vs. Religion ...

Is There Any Difference?
Is Any ONE Right?
Is Any ONE Wrong?
Does Anyone Care?

Numeric Breakdown - From Pew Research Center, 2012

Christianity = 31.5 %
Islam = 23.2 %
Unaffiliated = 16.3 %
Hinduism = 15.0 %
Buddhism = 7.1 %
Folk Religions = 5.9 %
Other = .8 %
Judaism = .2 %



FOOTNOTE :


A Few Statistics I Find Interesting:

The Largest Group - Christianity -
Is Also The Youngest of the Three Abrahamics.
Most of Them Are in America !

The Smallest Group - Judaism - Is Also The Oldest of the Three.
Most of Them Are in Israel and America,
5.9 & 5.4 Million Respectfully.

AMERICA IS THE LARGEST SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL !

GOLIATH & DAVID ? ALMOST ?

I THINK ... QUITE APROPOS !
