    Saying they are successful is no different from saying Asian Americans are successful. Its the conspiracy theories like controlling the world through banking is what's anti semantic

    Most of the world in present day, as far I'm aware. What's an example of a place where you consider them to be oppressed, where they are at the same time thriving? Like, Iran?

    Okay i meant in the past. But through oppression they set themselves up to be self reliant. This self reliance has set them up for success.

    I think they out perform other groups rather you break up other groups by race or religion

    Is there a major religion that doesn't teach/stress discipline?

    Regardless, Christianity teaches discipline. Pretty sure every single one of my Catholic school friends would agree.

    When i say teach im talking about the fundamental philosophy of the religion.

    Christianity is about forgiveness for sins Judaism is about punishment for sins. I think this leads to more discipline

    I think they all have the contradictions. They all talk about god being all forgiving and generous, then at the same time talking about punishments and don't piss him off. They all talk about peace and importance of respect of life then also make strict rules where those who want can take that as they are punishing others for treason on god. go figure, all the religions have multiple interpretations for people to make it what they want. Some have used it to bring the best out of themselves, some have used it to rail against what they feel is wrong. If its not religion, people then will goto politics, if not politics some social matters. ITs just one of the languages of justification, maybe the most powerful on with an all knowing chief on top, outside of trumpism/saudi/kore/ccp a which are arguably more religious for many too

    Actually following the tenants of the Catholic faith is pretty tough. Most people can’t be arsed though.
