    Do you think all those middle eastern religions (islam muslim hinduism) would be here and followed thoughtfully if the people of the middle east experienced the bubonic plague?

    I am not sure I understand what you mean tbh.

    I was under the impression the Black death in Europe that supposedly got wiped out in London in 1666 by the great fire of London had spread from the East to the West.

    The Chiense certainly have expereinced it as the Japanese have used it against them as a biological weapon in the past. I don't think that is the only case of it being used as a "chemical" or "biologial" weapon either.

    it doesn't have anything to do with war actually revelations-decoder. While the Catholics were busy praying for "God" to stop the plague, people kept dieing and many people got the idea. The Birth Of Humanism, The Start Of The Renaissance soon ensued. Human Accomplishments, Scientific Revolutions, Artistic Works, im sorry these things had to come at the price of those people that died from the bubonic plague but if you ask me it was all worth it.

    I was just wondering you if think religion in the middle east would be regarded as it is today if they experienced the black death like the Europeans ie "would they think less of it".

    my point was they did experience it Brandon - the reason it spread across europe was because it first spread across the east

    People believed the since bad things were happing to them that there is no God. Because if there was one he/she would not have allowed this to happen to them.

    The interpretation of the religion is what may have changed, surviving through hardships - for the better.
