What strikes me about this map is the low percentage of Aryan and genetically Aryan-adjacent people in Germany, and the high percentage of Aryans in various countries that Hitler wanted to invade or wipe out.

You can throw this out the window now with E-Learning. If the forecast even suggests a storm overnight schools will switch to e-learning by 9PM somedays in my parts.

It's still a fun map to study for a minute.

Pursuant to the map just above, I dug a bit into the Pew study on relgiious belief and found this interesting table below. In it, 28% of Christians believe in reincarnation. The entire idea of reincarnation is, at least implicitly, rejected by the Bible. And yet, this.

It just goes to show that for a high percentage of people, their claim to being Christian is a cultural or political identity, and not a spiritual or religious identity. It also suggests that to them, their bible is merely a totem and not an actual guide, something to be wielded by too many of them as nothing more than a cudgel against their enemies.

And that’s why this thread is in the Political Forum. 😉

Origen, an early church father often credited with a major role in establishing the 'Canon' of the current Bible, and maybe the pre-eminent scripture authority of his day, came very close to an explicit belief in re-incarnation. One the reasons he is no longer on any currrent Church's 'must read' list. 😱

Another example that when we look back through the fog of 2000 years we many not being seeing what we think we do.

Also the number from Russia is interesting. For two reasons: 1st that a lot of non-European Russia is notationally Muslim, but apparently not very! And second - that Putin's projection of himself as the great defender of Orthodox tradition doesn't seem to be doing much for belief in the teachings of Russian Orthodoxy 🙄. Yeah - who would have guessed that?
