What People of Faith has been persecuted more than any other people in the history of the world?

Question

Actually it is the Jews, they have been persecuted and hated more than any other group of people that has lived on the planet...They are also the first people on earth that believed in a Monotheistic GOD..

The first Christians were all Jews and the Messiah came to the Jewish people first not the gentiles... It is Israel and the USA that can wipe out humanity but choose not to as people of a loving GOD, so where does that power of greatness come ? because no other faith has that power...

Answer 1

a full history of persecution (to this day):
Jews

Answer 2

since you "answered" your own question in a very biased way, i suppose what i will say is pointless, but i will pretend you actually had a question anyway.

Some would argue that the Jews have proportionally more power than any people on this planet. I'm not one of them, but the argument has been at the center of more than a few conspiracy theories. Some would also argue that the fact that the Jewish people are still around, prospering and deafended by the mist powerful nation on the planet pokes holes in your theory too. There are many religions that have been persecuted to extinction.

You should also check you history. Monotheism is far older than Judaism. your circular argument on the messiah coming to the Jews first is downright Orwellian. Being that "messiah" is a Jewish concept (not really having a religious connotation), it would technically be impossible for the messiah to go to anyone else first. It would be like the Germans bragging "Der Fuhrer" came to Germany first, or more comparable, Indians bragging the Krishna came to India first.

am i correct in interpreting your words to mean that military power and investing in weapons of death God's love?

Answer 3

It's not widely known, but Jehovah's Witnesses have been persecuted somewhat as well. They were put in the concentration camps along with the Jews during WW2, and even today Jehovah's Witnesses are tortured in some countries. As well as being laughed or shouted at in a lot of other countries.

Besides that, although obviously not being called a 'Jehovah's Witnesses', Jesus and the early Christians did all 'witnessed' about 'Jehovah' (Gods name). That what Jehovah's Witnesses means, spreading the good news for God.



2 Peter 3:3-10
Sym′eon has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.

Answer 4

I don't know or care about the rest of your rhetoric, but to answer your question, I believe that while the Jews have had more than their fair share of persecution, it is Pagans of all traditions that have suffered the most over the longest period of time. Though they probably won't appreciate being "lumped in" with Pagans, I am also including all the different Native American Tribes and the Aboriginal peoples of Australia. Lots of different Pagans, lots and lots of persecution.

Answer 5

I agree that the Jews have probably been persecuted the most historically. I disagree with most of the other stuff you wrote...lol.

Unfortunately their persecution led the Jews to invent the concept of "sin," which continues to plague humanity to this day, mostly in its "Christian" mutation.

Answer 6

That power comes from scientists and engineers who can build nuclear weapons.

What about communist Russia? They had the power to destroy the world as well, but chose not to. Communist are athiest. Its ridiculous to assert that one has to believe in God not to destroy the world.

Non-Judeao/Christian nations that have nukes:

Pakistan
India
China

Answer 7

Pagans

Answer 8

true Christians they have even been persecuted by people who think there Christians

Answer 9

it comes from albert einstien.

If god attacked the us or israel, he would end up a smouldering mushroom cloud.

Answer 10

I would say so, but I must say the Waldenses have been heavily persecuted as well.
