Ober 2 million Muslims live in peace with other American in the US
+farfaraway
the fact that the Global economy has put many people behind
neoliberalism has destroyed mankind
+Bratac
farfaraway I am done, you are not a Muslim.
+Craster
farfaraway: What would you replace it with?
+farfaraway
Islam
+Bratac
 the Quran permits Muslims to accept a peace treaty from the unbelievers whom they are fighting:
    But if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and (put your) trust in God. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. S. 8:61 Hilali-Khan
+Bratac
I asked for peace between you and I, and you rejected it.
+Craster
farfaraway: Why is Islam a better system?
+farfaraway
it rejects usury
usury was poularized by jeremy bentham
in islam it is of the worst crimes
equated with declaration of war upon God and prophet
+Craster
farfaraway: I'm looking at Defense of Usury by Jeremy Bentham -- I'm not familiar.
You've raised an interesting point.

as long as church was in control
it forbid charging of usury
+Craster
farfaraway: Do you think the quality of life in neoliberal states, as of 2017, is higher or lower than Islamic/Muslim-majority states, as of 2017?
+farfaraway
but well after the elightment
you have to know that jeremy bentham has become the pillar of western capitalistic systems
neoliberalism has created the most intense gap in human history

just gotta not feed the narrative
+Craster
Shirakawasuna: Please don't engage dumb people.
+Shirakawasuna
depending on how you define dumb, that might mean ignoring most people Craster
+Craster
Agreed.
+Shirakawasuna
marx didn't prove anything
+Shirakawasuna
Marx proposed a historical analysis to describe how labor and capital function, but was writing in the vein of Hegel and other philosophers where you more or less get to just provide your grand opinion and leave it at that, no real data required
lol come on you don't even know Marx
it's just another part of your hate
+Mooonesty
Muslims, Jews and Christians all worship the same God.
+Shirakawasuna
they're all monotheists of abrahamic religions
+Mooonesty
Shirakawasuna: and they'll *never* see -- nor admit -- it, ya know?

Shirakawasuna: You're continuing to engage somebody you typed "lol" towards.
Mooonesty: There are no gods.
So, no, Muslims, Jews, and Christians do not worship the same god.
+Shirakawasuna
and you're a ban-evading lania
+Mooonesty
Of course, Craster ... *all* stories of deities are fiction
+Craster
Gods are totems for the values of a culture. The values, current politico-economic, and history arc of Jewish, Christian, and Muslims communities differ. Therefore, their Totem Ideal differs.
politico-economic status*
+Mooonesty
Craster: how is it they don't believe in hundreds of others gods but, no, not theirs?  i can't get my head around that
+Craster
Mooonesty: Religions are not evidence-based worldviews.
+Mooonesty
Craster: correct
+Craster
Therefore, the answer to that question will lie in human psychology.
My guess is that monotheism has a comparative advantage in that it draws a very clear line around 'right' belief.
+Mooonesty
good point, Craster
+Craster
Also, perhaps monotheism is a push/effect of cognitive homogeneity.
Which is the end goal of a lot of this, I think.
Cognitive homogeneity is very useful for a lot of things, e.g. acausal trade theory.
If you can assume cognitive homogeneity, you can make decisions for the entire universe.
When I can steal, on Earth, and I don't, I decide that for agents in the Andromeda galaxy.
