    This almost conclusively thrashes the theory that popularity testifies for a religion's righteousness

    They are wrong. They should actually blame their faith which ties them down to work for religious issues than for bettering their lives.

    There's a difference being popular and good..and I think most religions in this world are not exactly good..

    And I hate this 'denouncing' thing that most religion preaches.. :p

    Yeah it appears as if he world is obsessed with Jews. So much with 2 billion Christians considering the murderers of Christ, another 1.5 billion Muslims hating them to the core, 1 billion Hindus considering them great friends and Atheists supporting them out of sympathy. I think the world needs to get a life and get over'em :p

    Just for the record - all the Christians I know hold no grudge against the Jews and since the end of the 2nd WW I've never heard of a Christian attacking a Jewish person because "They killed Christ" . In fact we look at through wards the Israeli as brothers , since we believe in the same God .

    All the serious Christians I know feel significant emotional ties with the Jews... except for Mel Gibson... he's a special snowflake. :p

    Mennonites are Catholic/Christian. I'm unfortunate enough to gain great knowledge of them because the region I am living in brings in immigrant Mennonites by 1000's from Germany.

    Why "unfortunate"? What's so bad about Mennonites?

    Q. What going "Clop clop; clop clop; bang bang; clop clop; clop clop"?
    A. An Amish drive-by. :D

    What in truth is the bond between them? - Injustice without resolution, the same as the forbidden fruit for both......isn't much to prey for.

    Well, there is a huge difference between the Amish, Hutterites, and Mennonites. I don't know much about the Amish, but the Hutterites live in their own colony, follow their own Gov't and refuse to follow the law, make their own clothes, food, hate technology, do their own schooling in the community. They are also known to be extremely violent and steal like nuts because of this.
    The Mennonites are like an upgrade from that. They live like normal people in cities. A mennonite is pretty much like a regular Christian who got stuck in the 1940's. For the most part they take the bible litterly and don't really understand things like sense of humor and metaphors. This is the reason they breed like nuts and all have 9+ kids("go fourth and Multiply...).

    The reason I'm unfortinate is because they are everywhere surrounding me. They shower once a week, don't believe in deodorant, smell like sour milk, write you off if you don't know German, abusive to animals, and are EXTREMELY cheap!(they are thrift store people). Now if you are really unlucky you may be on the highway when you experience their bad driving from a 12 passenger van that possibly will bulldoze you over.

    Figures don't mean for Hindus, because it's a way of life, not a religion per se. That's why we have Jainsim, Sikhism and Budhism. I guess, this (edit) helps me express solidarity with Sikhs and Jains and make sense.

    Also, Zoroastrianism is probably the smallest religion in the world
