So let's reverse the lunatic logic of the joo-kristian scum.
Why would a witch-doctor, pig-exorcist, be remembered after 2000 years and why would his lunatic 'teachings' 'conquer the world'?
A religion is a synthetic tribe. A state needs a tribe, and tribe needs a state. Jewish religious tribalism was going nuts at the time, Roman paganism was dissolving in cynicism. Also, Roman paganism had abandoned patriarchy, and as a result Romans had stopped reproducing. Christianity retained Jewish patriarchy, so Christians were able to form families and reproduce. Christianity is around because the state needed a religion, and because Christians had children. Constantine founded state Christianity, which made a disintegrating state viable, and gave the state a ruling elite that was able to reproduce successfully, a program in due course imitated by Charles the Hammer, who proceeded to defeat Islam and found Europe. Today, the ruling state religion is progressivism, but progressives, like Romans when their religion became decadent, cannot reproduce, and like Jews, when their religion became ever more insane in a holiness spiral, are engaged in ever more self destructive and warlike government policies. Thus, self destruction, which requires replacement by a sane and patriarchal state religion. Conservative Islam is adequately patriarchal, but, absent a Calif, tends to madness. Maybe we will make Mormonism the state religion, or perhaps import Russia's eastern Orthodoxy. Our current state religion, progressivism, cannot survive, the only question is whether everyone else perishes with it.
