Additional explanations of why Christianity is the most advanced
religion:
salvation open to all men instead of being limited to a tribe or people
(this is also true of Buddhism so far as I know)
first religion grounded in historical time (He came in a certain year
in the past in a certain place and will come again at a certain time in the
future). This is radically different from religions based purely on a
timeless cyclical sequence of the seasons (sowing, growing, harvest,
quiescence, rebirth, sowing, etc). For this reason, Christianity is the
source of historical consciousness which is itself essentially secular
and non-religious. Thus Christianity by grounding itself in history
creates its own negation, in spite of the troglodytes who continue to
"believe" in it.
When He comes again, the godly will be raptured up to heaven
NAKED leaving behind, in piles, the clothes they were wearing.
Whereas, according to R.Crumb, when his wife Aline Kominsky
gets raptured she will fly up there wearing her dress and boots.
See the his drawing of this in the Nov. 28, 2005 issue.
