right but how is that determined in a monarchical system?
Religion is violent because man is violent
@Deleted User eternal peace is not
@Bearer Of The Curse fearlessness is venerated. if it's not, your religion dies
unless its too fearless. then it dies anyway
u get suicide bombings and setting yourself aflame
right but its important to remember that in a religious context that those *could* be valid actions so long as they gather more adherents
not everything is about gathering adherents
Sometimes it's about achieving enlightenment
right but in terms of a religions survival or practice enlightenment is only valid so long as it draws people to the faith. your religion could be as enlightened as it could be but if theres no-one practicing it, it doesnt exist
Well, you do not people to be drawn to the faith if you do it by the sword.
you're concerned about optics of the act itself. religions are not concerned about that, given enough time it gets memory holed
Look at the Caliphates, the Roman Empire, Scandinavia...
it can, especially if your not the person being hit by the sword
Fair.
ill put a caveat on my point though in that absolute numbers of religious adherents doesnt make a faith any more or less viable
the word tends to attract followers, in order to spread word u can't be oppressed by another religion
at least not sufficiently to prevent you doing so
