>Literally every major religion on the planet originated from

>>2707718
Asians love writing shit down I guess.

>>2707718
Because the majority of the people on Earth live there? Also because two are closely linked offshoots of a common ancestor that originated in the same region.

>>2707718
Because we're the master continent. God and/or ancient aliens invented Greece and Egypt as a red herring.

>>2707718
Because being an insectoid that blindly follows is a prerequisite for getting a religion off the ground

large civilizations could exist there
hashish can be grown there

So why did the rest of you follow Asian shit?

>>2707800

"Asia" is a shitty concept. It's just lumping together all of Eurasia that isn't Europe and doesn't follow the actual continental plates. No one in the Middle East considers themselves Asian (except the migrant workers, but that's another story), and South Asia (which IMO should be thought of as its own continent; India wasn't even connected to the rest of Asia until the Cretaceous period) is a vastly different region from East Asia.

>"Asia" is a shitty concept
Agreed. But that doesn't change the fact that Israel, Syria and so on ARE Asian.

>>2707816
it's not intended to describe a group of people, it's just a term for the landmass. what you've pointed out is simply due to the fact that we call east asians, asians. similarly sub-saharans africans are call africans. just because an egyptian wouldn't be considered "african" doesn't say anything anything about whether Egypt is in africa.

>No one in the Middle East considers themselves Asian
a lot of them do. some consider themselves African and some European. Which makes sence as the ME has overlaps an these 3 continents.

>India wasn't even connected to the rest of Asia until the Cretaceous period
How is that even relevant. shit happened 60M years before the first Homo evolved. Why not discard South America as American, since they were late to the party as well

Wow anon I bet you think 'Eurasia' is an easily crossable land mass as well compared to Africa

>>2709786
Are you implying it's easy to cross Africa?

It's a bit of luck that the Middle Eastern religions became so popular too. Had the Arabs not being that successful in their early conquests and had the Roman emperors not given the green light to Christianity (up to the 3rd century, Christianity was a small minority), two rather specific events, we would be wondering about some other happenstance.

Not everything is so because of its "merits".

"Eurasia" doesn't follow the continental plates. At the very least, there's no justification for Europe being considered separate but not India.

Monotheism emerges, which intrinsically lends itself to evangelism far more than polytheistic paganism. Christianity emerges and quickly spreads throughout an empire desperate for a new faith. Christians and Muslims evangelise peacefully and by the sword. Christendom conquers the world, Christianity probably being a necessary, if not sufficient, condition of this success, or at least the way it was achieved.

What else were you expecting?
