Pretty rare
I wouldn't be surprised if liberal power tries to patronize them
They made up a chunk of the very earliest islamic presence in Germany
Unitarians and homosex """churches""" were pretty rare originally too
Sure but the christians always have a way out regarding interpretation and the bible not being literally the word of god
The muslims treat the qur'an as infallible
The literal word of god as delivered to Muahmmad by the archangel Gabriel
The bible is more equivalent to the hadiths which are just a compilation of stories etc. about the life of Muhammad since he's deemed the perfect man
However at least the hadiths are open to interpretation/questioning as they're not the literal word of god
A muslim might argue that the hadiths which mention Muhammad being a pedophile aren't authentic or whatever for example
But you can't do this with the qur'an
If the qur'an say to kill apostates (which it does) there's no arguing about it
Perhaps. Never forget that Protestantism- the source of most degenerate/withered Christianity- was founded on Sola Scriptura
If various powers could wear that down overtime, the same can theoretically be done with Islam
Well yes. It's birthed the most fundamentalist and liberal churches
And it actually is somewhat similiar in islam
Like moderate mosques are pretty much doing the same thign as Ahmadiyya by avoiding the uncomfortable Suras
Whereas Ahmadiyya is the extreme end of it
There isn't an authoritative head in islam outside the Ayatollah in Iran afaik
The Turkish sultan used to fill the role of caliph/head of sunni islam too
At least in Tunisia you can see that tourism has made a more liberal islam win elections over the muslim brotherhood
Yeah, could be interesting
It really comes down to what power is able to leverage it's international infrastructure quicker
I don't think so
As far as I can see leftist that turn "pagan" just maker it abotu giving into their bestial nature
They want to fuck around and whatnot
It seems like a repeat of the matriarchal fertility cults
I think you would expect to see a Cult of Dionysius in any legitimate pagan practice. A machine cult would probably be a Cult of Apollo, but this would trend towards Christianity anyway. While there might be a small section of Apollonians devoid of Dionysianism, I think the Dionysian element would quickly overtake the Apollonian and act in opposition to Christianity.
It'll be fun to see all sorts of space cults pop up once it's been demonstrated you can just live on Mars or whatever
In a way it might be a chance for the more upstanding elements to leave a morally rotten earthy behind
Can't wait for a Martian theocracy to yeet earth with an asteroid causing shitlibs to go extinct
I'm joking
There's actual potential for escaping this mess though
Btw Zeon did nothing wrong
whats so bad about sola scriptura. all that means is that all that's necessary for salvation is contained within scripture
i dont see why catholics disagree with this
because whenever we debate practices
they always use the bible to justify what they do
Something something papal infallibility in case he's speaking ex cathedra
they try to justify the traditions of church through scripture
protestants just disagree
