How does Islam fit into your frankly absurd worldview?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My absurd worldview? I guess you think the Encyclopedia Brittanica is absurd too

https://www.britannica.com/summary/monotheism

The monotheism that characterizes Judaism began in ancient Israel with the adoption of Yahweh as the single object of worship and the rejection of the gods of other tribes and nations without, initially, denying their existence.

Oh, and Stanford

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/monotheism/

Most mainstream Old Testament scholars believe that the religion of the early Israelites was neither monotheistic nor polytheistic but “monolatrous.” While the existence of other gods was not denied, Israel was to worship no god but Yahweh.

Maybe just read some encylopedias if you want to know more about the history of monotheism

No they don't claim antitheism is colonial white people stuff.

First your own cited sources contradict you: you said that ancient Christians believed also in other gods but ancient Judaism was before that. Also in those sources you find that this happend in ancient Israel.

I don't think the people there would be described as white.

You should try reading instead of skimming

You should try discussing instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks.

Frankly you never stated how the behavior of Islam (that is also a monotheistic religion that denies all other gods) fits with the idea that antitheism is colonial white people stuff.

Islam is a religion derived from and influenced by Christianity
