[QUOTE="Alikar, post: 4893129, member: 54594"] As for the odd religious commentary, basically the author states that Judaism and Christianity are shadows of their former glory and that most people look down on them as pitiful fools. Yet, somehow, Islam is still a large religion because it was able to adapt through the singularity. I mean I can get the idea that with near immortality people might not be as religious, but that Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism are successful and yet Judaism and Christianity are not confuses the crap out of me. Not to mention that there is a large "new" religion that believes that God punished humanity by using the Titans. Has the author every even seen a Fire and Brimstone preacher? In real life every time people face great horror they become more religious not less, good examples of this is Dead Space or Dune. Its not that I can't see there being less people who practice Judaism or Christianity. I'm just confused as too how they suffered large losses, being the more liberal religions, but some how Islam did not. Its just a very odd idea that doesn't make any sense. Not to mention the way the author wrote it felt oddly personal, but maybe that is just the way I was reading it. The other thing that is odd about it is that it is only 10 years after the fall. I highly doubt you'd see that much loss in the world's largest religion and its parent religion so quickly. [/QUOTE]
