Disapprove of all. Islam is way past its due date from what it was and Christianity—especially Pauline Christianity—were the Lassalleans of their day. Just useful idiots for the establishment and ultimately opponents of both the peasantry, Jews, and even the small pool of wage laborers spreading the gospel.
I notice that you, wisely in my opinion, avoided passing any specific judgment on Judaism.
😂
Yeah, tell that to Barnabas, or even Marcion telling everyone what most church leaders were already thinking but couldn’t speak out loud for respectability politics and virtue signaling.
Oh wait lol I read that wrong.
mainstream Judaism east of Antioch and north of Rome has mostly gotten better in a way with the adoption of Greek materialism to become Rabbinic Judaism, basically rendering most Christian critiques mute, but as an ideology for the Jews it has sort of stuck around in benefitting the population until the 1700s or so. That European-descended Jews exist and are thriving given the circumstances explains its holding power. This accounts only for Reform and some strands of Conservative Jewish schools. Otherwise (insert anti-religion argument ).
Now, I have to lend credit to the Jews of Arabia for their fierce support for collectivism, for how could the capitalist that was Muhammad take over and at least push the ball there a bit. Same credit goes to the gnostic christians and other heretics there whose beliefs when mixed with Iranian materialism of Mazdak greatly expanded proto-socialist thought. How else was the great Abbasid revolution to take place or the creation of a proto-bourgeois revolution in Fatimid Egypt or a proto-socialist one by the Qarmatians.
