Swords and religions

 Swords or guns can’t bring in large scale cult build ups.

Like we see people recently metamorphosing into new social order destroyers, due to some political favour or indoctrination they are showered with, people have been changing their faiths or adopting new opinion about gods for thousands of years regularly and repeatedly on some impulse. No one used to hold others differently on social scale due to that change in faith.

There had never been any anti defection law anywhere in the world in human history before foolishness descended upon our generation. Rigidity of faiths as we see presently is new phenomenon.

What path people followed spiritually had always been very fluid and they kept moving from one opinion about god and rituals to another depending on which preacher in neighbourhood influenced them. Some faiths were more widespread and we call those religions now. Swords had little sporadic role in that. It would be foolish to believe that super powerful Ghanzez Khan’s and Helago’s mangol decedents were brought into islam by some sword while they were successfully destroying the geographies themselves?

It’s not possible to change faith en masse unless indoctrinating powerfully or tempting appealingly those people who are intuitively submissive and weak. Only few of those directly under a gun or a sword would submit to a new faith permanently. Not millions or billions of ordinary public as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Shaivism, Vaishnavism brought in at different times with community indoctrination of their respective views about god and associated rituals.

BTW, All religions are curated myths bringing some false order into society or providing power and aura to some preacher or cunning ruler who themselves or their followers, wanted world to remember them as god’s images. These faiths always have limited utility for progress of the humanity the kind of what we achieved. Kings merely used faiths to rule and suppress masses as rulers are doing now.
