What is the best explanation for Abrahamic religions?
The Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are the most influential ideologies in the world today. But are they paradisaic or parasitic from a legal, teleological and practical standpoint, with more than 1,000 years of history to consider? To answer this question, we look at their origin and endgame or purpose. Most of the Bible, as we know it, was written around the middle of the first millennium BCE by Levitical priests in service of Judahite monarchs. Fast forward to Roman occupied Judea in the 1st c. CE, long after the aforesaid monarchy, where a Galilean rabbi called Joshua (Lat. Jesus) claimed to be the Messiah: the rightful successor of King David. After Jesus was crucified by Romans according to the gospels, the latter began to worship him in the image of a white man, like the earliest Pantokrator icons that were adapted from images of Zeus. Christianity eventually became the state religion of the Roman Empire and barbarians who sacked it in the 5th c. Jews, for their part, claim that Jesus was a heretic whom they stoned to death, contrary to the gospel narrative, and that they are God’s chosen people, whom gentiles are destined to serve. Christianity—which has no law—endorsed every conceivable ruler and ‘rule’. Common law, for instance, which is neither common nor law, is an ever-changing blend of culture, including Christianity and paganism, that prescribed hundreds of tortures and capital punishments like the Bloody Code and principles like the Benefit of Clergy. Many Christians still maintain that God is a white man whom everyone must worship or go to hell (see, e.g., the Spanish Requirement of 1513). Islam, for its part, maintains that the Hebrew prophets were righteous, unlike some of the people who succeeded them, and that Jesus was the Messiah, although Jews and Romans unjustly demonized or deified him. On this premise, it reconstructs a different rule of law and a different image or promise of paradise than the Jewish and Christian ones. Unlike colonial empires, for example, all Muslims are indigenous to their countries except Turks, who invaded Muslims and then became Muslims.
