genetic mesh
different genes interact differently with different environments

2019-08-15 22:42:42 UTC  

obviously race and religion are two very separate things

2019-08-15 22:43:45 UTC  

certain races are not predisposed to follow certain religions, you are literally grasping at straws

2019-08-15 22:43:50 UTC  

your argument holds no water

2019-08-15 22:43:56 UTC  

or maybe

2019-08-15 22:43:58 UTC  

get this

2019-08-15 22:44:01 UTC  

this is gonna sound crazy

2019-08-15 22:44:05 UTC  

but bear with me

2019-08-15 22:44:08 UTC  

maybe people tend

2019-08-15 22:44:10 UTC  

to follow the religion

2019-08-15 22:44:12 UTC  

of their parents?

2019-08-15 22:44:19 UTC  

that sounds crazy doesnt it?

2019-08-15 22:44:42 UTC  

your beliefs are hardwired to a significant extent
and traditional racial categories correspond to best fit genetic clusters at almost 100%

2019-08-15 22:45:03 UTC  

try telling that to Christians

2019-08-15 22:45:05 UTC  

or Muslims

2019-08-15 22:45:25 UTC  

Islam is huge in SE Asia, the Middle East, and much of Africa

2019-08-15 22:45:27 UTC  

@Deleted User provide a study or something to back this up

2019-08-15 22:45:36 UTC  

what you're claiming sounds fucking ridiculous

2019-08-15 22:45:39 UTC  

ok fine

2019-08-15 22:45:49 UTC  

Zoroastrianism is another good example.

2019-08-15 22:45:55 UTC  

it was big in India and Iran

2019-08-15 22:45:55 UTC  

i do appreciate that this does sound unbelievabel

2019-08-15 22:46:15 UTC  

Christianity is the major religion in South America and all of Europe

2019-08-15 22:46:20 UTC  

and much of Africa

2019-08-15 22:46:44 UTC  

hey what about Buddhism

2019-08-15 22:47:01 UTC  

man, Buddhism is everywhere!

2019-08-15 22:47:05 UTC  

well in Asia

2019-08-15 22:47:20 UTC  

again
genetic mesh

2019-08-15 22:47:41 UTC  

Im looking that up because genetics are not my strong suit

2019-08-15 22:47:44 UTC  

and i can't find anything about it

2019-08-15 22:48:02 UTC  

what the hell are you talking about

2019-08-15 22:49:13 UTC  

the same genes that made you believe things in one environment can react differently in another environment
different genes interact differently with different environments

2019-08-15 22:49:44 UTC  

ok do you have any evidence that this can affect ones religion?

2019-08-15 22:49:56 UTC  

becuase this really doesnt seem to be the case at all

2019-08-15 22:51:08 UTC  

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/12/09/study-on-twins-suggests-our-political-beliefs-may-be-hard-wired/
there are no studies on exact religious belief
however political beliefs tend to correlate heavily eg abortion and christianity

2019-08-15 22:52:14 UTC  

https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/psp806845.pdf
ill just link some stuff
apologies if any links are borked

2019-08-15 22:55:10 UTC  

do you want the gene cluster race studies etc?

2019-08-15 22:55:33 UTC  

gimmi like 30 min - an hour

2019-08-15 22:55:39 UTC  

>our political beliefs may be hard-wired
>topic of the conversation is religion

2019-08-15 22:55:42 UTC  

ok this is epic
