an Arabic word that means initiating something without any precedent, in opposition to the Quran and Sunnah...sometimes defined as 'Blasphemy' or Sin or birkat hashem, against noble karma or faith of 'inviolability', the Monk or Rabbi or Preacher wanting modicum of respect, or takes an insult to something considered sacred by other cultures. The jihadi islamics bring it down to a whole other depraved sick level of violence, Muhammad was an Arab pedophile, a cult religious leader, a militant social leader, and political terrorist leader and the founder of islamism and muzslim faith, as described in their so-called holy books this mahomet or Mumammad he behaves much like the radicals of today do.

Re: Role of Religion in the Martian frontier

Will Mars be Hindu? in a fictional tv show and books 'The Expanse' a woman 'Chrisjen Avasarala' plays a role as the President of Earth, the chief executive of the United Nations, she is part of an Indian political aristocracy on Earth.

Ramaswamy's emphasis on his belief in one God has a long history for Hindus in the United States
https://web.archive.org/web/20230713041 … tianj.html

TRUTH.


1. God is real.
2. There are two genders.
3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
4. Reverse racism is racism.
5. An open border is no border.
6. Parents determine the education of their children.
7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.
10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

sometimes in reaction people accuse politicians of being celebrity and actor type

Yet some fans around the world took the tv, movie,. scifi entertainment casting very serious?

Jedi-ism is classed as a true religion in some nations like Australia

Why are Indians mad that The Expanse’s Chrisjen Avasarala is portrayed by Iranian-American actress Shohreh Aghdashloo?
https://www.quora.com/Why-are-Indians-m … Aghdashloo

India Hindu culture however might be expanding

Vivek Ramaswamy's Hindu faith is front and center in his US presidential campaign
https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-ne … 91150.html
Vivek Ramaswamy, a Hindu entrepreneur and Republican presidential candidate, is steadily gaining support in a party dominated by conservative Christians.


There is no doubt there has been a massive expansion of Indian Sub Continent Desi culture in North America, however if all the religious element comes with them has yet to be seen. There are names in politics, business, the legal system and media and even now a Vice President, names like Dinesh D'Souza, Abhijit Banerjee, Fareed Zakaria, Siddhartha Mukherjee, Ravinder Bhalla, Nikki Haley or Nimarata Randhawa, Kamala Harris, Nicholas Jagan Ranjan, Amul Thapar, Astronauts and athletes like Olympic medalist Mohini Bhardwaj, Jagmeet Singh in Canada a practicing Sikh of Punjabi descent, Singh is an Indo-Canadian. There are also huge numbers of Overseas Indians that moved after the collapse of former British Colonies and Dutch Colony, places like Trinidad and Tobago, Singapore, Overseas islands of France, South Africa, Mauritius, Israel, Phillipines, Suriname in South America these overseas populations are in the millions. For Sri Lankans it seem at least 10% adhere to some form of jihadi islamism culture or muslim faith mostly from the Moor and Malay ethnic communities, the Hindu culture of Pakistan and Bangladesh seems to vanish. However it is unknown if Indians will fully bring their religion cultures with them, the faiths of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, Shaiva Siddhanta  a form of Shaivism popular in South India and Sri Lanka, Tamils, who practice Hinduism and have their own language some took offense and even launched suicide bombers and in India itself there are some other faith which are also classified as Eastern Pagan religions, Hinduism in Sri Lanka was practiced by Native Kings before their conversion to Buddhism. There is the question of assimilation of cultures from Mexico and islamic regions but maybe Hindu-Americans won't be Hindu and be as American as anyone else?

In the Indian Sub Continent an old religion of over a Billion people and a very confusion way of life, it looks like a weird Beatles LSD Mushroom trip a guy who looks like an Elephant and eternal traditions. Perhaps it has no single founder, the Vedic period were Vedas composed in Sanskrit. It could be 4000 years old or 6,000 years old nobody is really sure but it is probably the oldest religion of them all. The concept of time and India and Sanskrit and Indus and the most basic elements have lots and lots of debate of what is real and genuine. A Super God Brahma in painting and picture might have three heads like a Cerberus, or Freemason Jahbulon or Chimera but he is painted like a guy. There is no true leader and no one method or one way there are many people with many interpretation. There might be Polytheism and a Pantheon of Gods but there is also described at times 'One God' there is Shiva and Vishnu, it might be Monotheism it might not be. It can be said to be a less 'dogmatic' religion many ideas like Astrology, there is Dharma proper good behavior causing the Universe to Balance, Hindus might seek one true or one truth of reality. There is an idea of an Immortal Soul Atman, a reincarnation or Transmigration, or a belief Brahaman Universe Material Mega God Ocean Soul also 'Karma' and 'Vedas', time is a cycle with no beginning and no end and something about going from unreal to real or 'Mohskha' and bad morality leads to the destruction of reality or Kali Yuga? There is a Caste System and series of Social Classes, Priests, Nobles, Commoners and Slave like Servant or Lower and Lowest Castes and Lower of the Lowest of the Low the 'Untouchables'. If something bad happens to you well maybe you or your family did something bad in a previous life.

Re: Role of Religion in the Martian frontier

Although Japan is classed as a peaceful society both religions had violence and flaws and supported a system of caste

they might have 'Swastika' symbols but this has nothing to do with Hitler as the Nazis had hijacked other symbols that existed long before WW2, perhaps in weird a twist of irony Japan did ally itself with Italy and Germany but the original Swastika has existed in Native American culture, Pagan Viking Culture, Jewish culture, in Indian Sanskrit in Jain religious symbolism, African and Byzantine art works and in Japan for thousands of years, some have speculated that it is from long ago and simply represents the north pole and Ursa Major, Big Dipper or the 'Plough' moving through the seasons it was also seen as a "bear" in Greek, Indian and Siberian tradition. In Vietnamese the name is T'he Big Rudder Stars' the Dipper sometimes describes a bird but it is cup-shaped vessel with a long handle, for dipping out liquids, in Chinese the name literally means Northern Dipper. Some suggest it is a symbol of lightning and it is interesting that René Guénon links the swastika to the North Star.

One of the most well known faces of Mormonism the Latter Day Saint movement

Mitt Romney condemns ‘demagogue’ Trump as he announces retirement
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 … ment-trump

I'm not sure you can blame a single rabble-rouser, when Trumpism, anti-Global seems to be an entire movement in motion even before the US President Donald Trump came along,  Trumpists and Trumpian are terms used to refer to those exhibiting characteristics of Trumpism, the President Trump in campaign took something  like Government shutdown movement or Gadsden flag Tea Party Protest already moving and perhaps made it all into a bigger movement, Trump also was a skilled tv speaker, manipulator, quick wit and played to his base calling out the illiberal type.

It might be wrong to only class Trump as a ‘demagogue’ maybe this is why many US Republicans did not see him winning in 2016.

Over time Romney has become less popular with the Republican base, he was the lone Republican to vote to convict Donald Trump in his first impeachment trial, he supported gun control, marched alongside Antifa and Black Lives Matter protestors, voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson a woman who worked with islamist terrorists and can't define a man or a woman to the Supreme Court.

Romney failed in his run for president of the United States in the 2012 election, losing to incumbent Barack Obama.

Re: Role of Religion in the Martian frontier

The political religious power and influence of an archbishop Hovnan Derderian and a link between Canada and Armenia. A far off almost trapped landlocked country, an increasing islamic Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north with Russians not far away, and Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran and the Azerbaijanis again, it is locked inside the Mountain part of the Caucasus region, some percentage of Yazidis might have fled all the way here to this far away place during the massacres, war crimes of ISIS.

Armenia, massacred by Turks an event called a 'genocide' a place surrounded by blood, invasions of different dynasty, old Empires and a history of war.  The Armenian Apostolic Church, the oldest national church, outside of the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Russian Orthodox churches, they were over-run by muslims the Empires of jihadis and islamists, after the Russo-Persian War, parts of historic Armenia under Persian Iranian control the islamics are knocked back and now were incorporated into Russia,  Armenian subjects of the Russian Empire, more Turkish fighting and  Armenian–Azerbaijani war in 1920 from  racial, religious, cultural and societal differences, Turks again attack and another Russian attack a Soviet invasion, Joseph Stalin. crushes many of them instead of saving them and sends them to prison in Siberia. One impressive feat in the region by the USSR was a canal connecting the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea. A long time ago with the invasion of islamic jihadi there was a counter attack from people overseas the arrival of the Kingdom of Portugal, the British Crusader and French Crusaders, they would even defeat the Byzantine army. With the USSR it was one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union, independence finally declared in 1990 then CYMA, the Canadian Youth Mission to Armenia, is a Canadian, volunteer led humanitarian and exchange program.   

However there is conflict once again and a Second Nagorno-Karabakh War.

Mongolia went there long ago, Mongols were able to launch raids southward into Israel and Palestine, reaching as far as Gaza. They captured the center of power in the regions of islamos, the city of Baghdad, destroying the Abbasid dynasty. After Baghdad, the Mongoloids and captured soldiers and Mercs from the previously conquered or submitted territories of Georgia, Cilician Armenia and Antioch, went on to conquer Syria, the domain of the Ayyubid dynasty. The Mongolians took the city of Aleppo, and they conquered Damascus, islam was almost  destroyed utterly surviving only in Egypt and North Africa if the Europeans had counter attacked maybe they could have rid the Earth of islam, Hulagu Khan, sent a message to King Louis IX of France, saying that the Mongols had remitted Jerusalem to the Christians. Tengrism and Mongol culture dies, the langauge gets weaker with expansion and the religion which practices a form of animism with several meanings and with different characters, was a popular religion in ancient Central Asia and Siberia, they are replaced by babbling of the jihadi islamics. However, modern historians believe that though Jerusalem may have been subject to at least one Mongol raid during this time, eventually the warmongering Mongol horde changes its culture and coverts and it becomes an islamist Turkish Arab horde. The monk of Kublai Khan, was elected a catholicos of the eastern Christian church and Catholic missionaries were begun to be sent to all Mongol capitals.  Once Europeans sailed across the Atlantic and around Africa to new worlds 15th century and lasted through the 17th century there was little need for them to chat with Turks, Arab raider or have diplomatic relations with dead relic kingdoms of Central Asian Mongolian Empires. The Tengrist, Mongolian language and a shamanistic belief system wiped out, they Mongols tried to Absorb others such as Buddhists into their Army, and its culture replaced by Sasanian Manichaeism, the Empire splits into different hordes and Khanate and islamo jihadi preachers. A few Mongols were converted to Catholicism, by John of Montecorvino, however, the wails of islamics and jihads began to take firm root amongst the raider bandit rapist Mongoloid brains. Mongolian today is a mostly Atheist but with Buddhist tradition, a Chinese India Buddhism influenced faith, it has a small percentage of islamic jihadi types there are some Churches of Christian faith and some small percentage of Mongolian shamanism, the muslims are mostly foreign immigration of Kazakh ethnicity, there is a spread of New Age-inspired New Religious Movement in Mongolia.

* sound warning * there is some screechy islamic guy saying war cry prayers to his demonic pedophile Moongod shouting a few al Lah hu ackbars!

Footage taken from the Jihadist perspective of the attack on Djibo shows absolute madness on the ground. The al-Qaeda affiliate known as Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimeen were decimated during this attack by a series of drone strikes, but not before they had managed to kill at least 40 internally displaced persons in a refugee camp.

From Sputnik to Spaceship Earth: American Catholics and the Space Age

From a social scientist and evangelical
https://udayton.edu/magazine/2018/05/th … -space.php
The separation of church and space

some type of person maybe expects messages from God, the Bible and St. Paul

Some of my findings include:

-Hindus, Buddhists, those of other Eastern traditions, and Jews represent strong advocates for space policy.

-Mainline Protestants, Jews, Eastern traditions and those with no religion scored significantly higher on space knowledge.

-Jews, Eastern traditions and religious “nones” all stand out positively on perceptions of general space benefits.

-Eastern traditions and the nones also rate higher on support for space funding.

-Eastern traditions are most interested in space.

Catholics are higher than other religions on space nationalism, the belief that the U.S. should lead the way in exploration.

Evangelicals express a sort of “space pessimism.” This means that evangelicals hold higher expectations that an asteroid will hit the Earth during the next four decades, but lower expectations of the discovery of life away from Earth over the same period. In perhaps the most interesting finding on expectation, evangelicals are surer that Jesus will return to Earth before mid-century than they are about any of four space events occurring: an asteroid hitting Earth, scientists finding evidence of life elsewhere, ordinary people traveling to space, or astronauts landing on Mars.

In an interesting twist, support of one’s clergy member(s) for science makes a significant difference among this most skeptical religious group. If an evangelical’s pastor speaks negatively about science, the probability of agreeing with the statement “space exploration does more good than harm” is 47 percent. When a pastor speaks positively, the probability is 97 percent. While I do not remember ever hearing a sermon on space from the pulpit of my churches, the findings indicate a clear opportunity for inroads in both the understanding of space science and the support of space exploration.

Re: Role of Religion in the Martian frontier

When the hysterical mobs are not religions?

A village in the Canadian province of Alberta, Beiseker is 50 kilometres or 31 miles northeast of Calgary.

Churches in Canada seem to follow a new trend they will now mysteriously and randomly catch fire as they do in France.

There was also a lot of recent anger directed at Churches fueled by words from Justin Trudeau which to get politically involved when Canada said it has found 751 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school.  Many similar announcements of 'Mass Graves' of Native Indian American Indigenous Child Graves followed over the ensuing months, leading to commemorations and protests, followed by a series of arsons against Christian buildings and the 2022 "penitential" visit to Canada by the Pope, schools of other Christian groups outside of the Catholic Church were attacked, no group of Christian seemed untouched with attacks and burning on Anglican, and Coptic Orthodox churches buildings.

However in some cases of 'Mass Graves' it might have been a hoax or a myth, life was tough for an Orphan in the 1930s and in the 1940s and 1950s medical advances were poor, it was common for a kid to die of Pneumonia or a bad cold, diarrhea and flu was common leading to death, dropsy edema was common, kidney disease was frequent or consumption tuberculosis was everywhere, it was common in the West for every second child to have died and today mortality and survival in childhood have increased from 50% to 96% globally. 

In July 2023, the Pine Creek community held a day of ceremony to commemorate the beginning of an archaeological dig of the church basement, where 14 anomalies had been found. The RCMP's investigation found no evidence of criminal activity associated with the 14 anomalies. The excavation found no evidence of human remains

Harsha Walia, the executive director of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association responded to reports of fires at indigenous Catholic parishes with a tweet on June 30 that read "burn it all down". Some members of the First Nations community criticized her but the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs expressed support for her without mentioning the controversial tweet.

Walia is not a Native American she was playing the role of Native Rights person Feminist but she was from an alien culture born in an islamist Sharia Law monarchy of Bahrain to parents of Punjabi ancestry

In May 2022, the National Post article "The year of the graves" said that despite the saturation of news coverage and their consequences, nothing new had been added to the public record that was not already known and that "it wasn't the Indigenous people directly involved who made the disturbing claims that ended up in the headlines"

Navajo Nation President Asks NASA to Delay Moon Launch Over Possible Human Remains
https://www.knau.org/knau-and-arizona-n … an-remains

The lander will carry some payloads from a company known to provide memorial services by shipping human cremated remains to the Moon. Nygren wants the launch delayed and the tribe consulted immediately. He noted the Moon is sacred to numerous Indigenous cultures and that depositing human remains on it is "tantamount to desecration."

NASA previously came under fire after the ashes of former geologist and planetary scientist Eugene Shoemaker were sent to the Moon in 1998. Then-Navajo Nation President Albert Hale said the action was a gross insensitivity to the beliefs of many Native Americans. NASA later apologized and promised to consult with tribes before authorizing any similar missions in the future.

Sometimes they also throw away stuff which has not gone through some Halal Kosher type ritual, the ‘Starving’ ‘Palestinian’ throws US aid food into the trash

I don't understand, if the Gazans are so hungry, why are they filming themselves throwing the American aid food into the trash?

What is the opinion of Buddhism on the caste system and untouchability of Hinduism?
https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/ques … -of-hindui

The Varnashrama dharma (caste system) is the backbone of Brahminism (Hinduism), untouchability is a part of that social order. We all know that Gautama Buddha was against Varnashrama dharma, and rejected the Vedic religion. But unfortunately, we see caste system and untouchability in many 'Buddhist' countries. For example, the Burakumin/Eta in Japan, Baekjeong in Korea, Ragyabpa in Tibet, etc. As we know as Buddhists that the Buddha was no hindu, then why this system is also in the societies of Buddhist countries?

Re: Role of Religion in the Martian frontier

On Earth time a Christian holy day? Christian or Jewish or both they say Good Friday is directly related to the Jewish holiday, Passover. that celebrates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt. "The whole Christian idea of atoning for sin, that Jesus is atonement of mankind? they mark it today as Christians  observing the date of the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Calvary,  they mark it with either a mass or vacation or ritual with Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, Methodist, Oriental Orthodox, United Protestant and some Reformed traditions (including certain Continental Reformed, Presbyterian and Congregationalist churches, observe Good Friday with fasting and church services
