      Which is worse, toddlers or teens? I would say that toddlers can be taught, teens think they already know everything.

      I have a different question. I see this about 1B gun owner records.
      "1 Billion Gun Owner Records?" - Hawley Questions Overreaching ATF Rules
      A very repetitive clip. The same question like five times.
      As I understand it, the US population is around 350 Million people.
      To reach one billion gun owner records would be almost three guns for every man, woman and child in the census.

        Does history repeat itself? Compare the two.
        First, the history.
        Lebanon Turned From CHRISTIANITY to ISLAM ⟶Then It Went From RICH to RUINED
        And today.
        Nobody Took Them Seriously… UNTIL TODAY

        There are other precedents. The years from 500-1100 AD were known for two things.
        The "Dark Ages" in Europe, and the "Golden Age" of Islamic expansion.
        Then the Crusades began. A response to being pushed too far.
        It's hard not to draw comparisons. ​

          Your premise/conclusions that you're trying to draw are nothing short of nonsense. All you're trying to do is pick some random points in time, throw some correlation on top of it and then claiming that a particular religion is why countries are successful. If that was actually the case the Christian religion would be the reason countries were prosperous and this is clearly not the case. It couldn't be because some countries prioritized science and had better access to natural resources, climates, and such.

          In regards to the crusades.... LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL.
          You do realize that the fall of the Byzantine empire was a result of the last crusade? The crusaders sacked their own capital (Constantinople) because of their inability to be paid which ultimately lead to modern day Turkey. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Constantinople

          As a whole Mexico is more entrenched in religion than the US and it's not nearly as prosperous.

          Capitalism is all about the exploitation of labor. The owner can't get rich if all the profits are shared across all the workers.
