Never think like an Arab and I never will feel comfortable with their customs, because they are specific to a culture of race. According as a people and their environment, so is his religion.

And this, in my opinion, can never be exported to otrso peoples and environments

Any kind of religion will never be universal.

thats my opinion.

But there are some people who changed their religion to become a muslim.
Also in the past the muslims had a big expansion after the dead of Mohammed around a huge area.
To become member of a religion you should believe this religion, you shouldn't be member of a religion when only members of your "race" are members in a religion, or when you grow up with a religion, but not sharing their beliefs
Religion is a decision of an individual not of a hole "race".
Also I personally dislike thinking to much about human "races".

I think this statement is right because the differences are not really big enough between diferent "races".

Religions have nothing to do with races. They are arbitrary.

Here is a universal idea which has been realised by the most thoughtful people of every culture in human history: everything that can be destroyed by the truth should be.

That's because they think the same way. But there are other people who feel good about being animists and never leave their conceptions derived from their thinking. But there are nuances in their thinking.

In the case of Christianity, for example, An Armenian Orthodox have a way of looking at the Gospels than those of an Irishman: Irish person sees the Gospels with a "Celtic spirit". Religion exported to distant countries "acclimated" to the contexts of others and other mentalities. and ethnic backgrounds, in my opinion, influence, because Native Americans have such psychological qualities different from an Anglo-Saxon and therefore different thought patterns.

The taste for abstract motifs are those of the Nordic peoples:

I, for one, I feel closer to an Australian Aborigine than a Muslim.

I agree, but there are religions with which I identify myself and others that are absurd. I believe in divine entities, but I do not like Greek paganism because it is absurd to represent the gods in human form!! !

I can not explain. but I see absurd! Why, among the millions of figures in the universe, they assume human form?

I don't get it. Irish Christianity is mainly Catholicism, the same form of Christianity that is practised in your country, in the majority of cases. The Catholic church is the same throughout the world. You are mistaken if you think Irish people practise their faith differently from Catholics in other parts of the world. Also, we have the Catholic church and many different protestant churches here in the Celtic lands, so there's no concept of Celtic Christianity. I was raised Catholic, by the way.

So white people should be Mormons? Because that's probably the whitest religion there is.

From the headline I thought it was racing, but this is also absurd.
