"The Religion of Peace" - 299,792,458 metres per second.

Timed at: 14 minutes 06 seconds.

"Okay, so I need to come up with a comma-separated list of at least 60 religions. Hmm, where do I even start? I guess the first thing 
is to understand what constitutes a religion. It's a bit broad because there are major ones like Christianity and Islam, but also 
smaller, less-known ones. I should probably include both well-known and niche religions.

Let me think about the major world religions first. Christianity is definitely number one. Then Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and maybe 
Sikhism? Wait, I remember Sikhism is one of the larger ones too. But are there others like that? Yeah, maybe like Zoroastrianism or 
something older.

Then there are the Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam. I think those three are part of the same family. Then other 
branches within Christianity like Catholicism and Protestantism could be considered separate entries, but I'm not sure if they count 
as distinct religions on their own or just denominations. Similarly for different sects in Buddhism.

I should also include some more modern or new age religions. For example, Scientology is one that comes to mind. There's also Wicca 
and other pagan traditions. Maybe even things like Rastafarianism? I think that counts as a religion too.

Then there are the Chinese folk religions, which might be a category on its own since it includes various practices and beliefs. 
Similarly, African traditional religions encompass many different cultures and deities. Same with Native American spirituality; they 
have a variety of traditions, but maybe grouped together.

I should also include some from other parts of the world. For example, in the Americas, there are Mesoamerican religions like those of 
the Aztecs or Mayans. In the Pacific, Polynesian mythology would be another category.

Wait, I might need to look up how many distinct religions there are. But since I can't access external resources, I have to rely on my 
memory and common knowledge. So maybe starting with the major ones and then branching out into denominations or subsets.

Let me try listing some:

1. Christianity
2. Islam
3. Hinduism
4. Buddhism
5. Sikhism
6. Judaism
7. Zoroastrianism
8. Shinto
9. Taoism
10. Confucianism
11. Jainism
12. Baha'i Faith
13. Scientology
14. Wicca
15. Druidry
16. Rastafarianism
17. Animism
18. Paganism
19. Agnosticism
20. Atheism (though some might argue it's not a religion)
21. Deism
22. Humanism
23. Unitarian Universalism
24. Mesoamerican Religions (like Aztec, Maya)
25. Polynesian Mythology
26. Norse mythology (but that's more of a mythology than a current religion)
Wait, maybe not include mythologies as religions.

I should focus on active, practiced religions. So perhaps exclude the old mythologies unless they're still actively followed.

So, continuing:

27. African Traditional Religions
28. Chinese Folk Religion
29. Japanese Folk Religions (like Shinto)
Wait, I already listed Shinto as number 8.
30. Korean Shamanism
31. Vietnamese Folk Religion
32. Santeria
33. Voodoo
34. Candomblé
35. Yoruba Religion
36. Orisha Worship
37. Asatru (Norse Reconstructionism)
38. Hellenistic Religions (like ancient Greek and Roman, but again, are they active?)
Maybe not include them unless still practiced.
39. Dravidian Religions
40. Sumerian Religion (probably not active now)
So maybe skip that.

Wait, I'm getting stuck on some of these. Let's think about different categories: Abrahamic, Dharmic, East Asian, Indigenous, New Age, 
etc.

Abrahamic: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Baha'i, Druze?

Dharmic: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism

East Asian: Taoism, Confucianism, Shinto, Chinese Folk Religion

Indigenous: Native American Spirituality, African Traditional Religions, Australian Aboriginal Spirituality

New Age: Wicca, Druidry, Scientology, Neopaganism, Rastafarianism

Others: Zoroastrianism, Candomblé, Santeria, Voodoo, Yoruba Religion, Orisha Worship, Asatru, Mesoamerican Religions (like Aztec), 
Hellenistic Religions (though maybe not active), Unitarian Universalism, Humanism.

Wait, I'm also thinking of some less common ones like Eckankar, Tenrikyo, or the Rastafari movement. Also, maybe include some 
offshoots like Mormonism (Latter-day Saints) as a distinct religion.

So let me try to compile this list, making sure not to repeat and including at least 60.

I can also think of some more specific ones:

41. Mormons (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
42. Jehovah's Witnesses
43. Seventh-day Adventists
44. Methodist Church
45. Presbyterian Church
46. Anglican Communion
47. Eastern Orthodox Church
48. Roman Catholic Church
Wait, but are these separate religions or denominations within Christianity? I think they're denominations, so maybe not include them 
unless specified as separate.

But in the initial list provided earlier, some denominations were included like Protestantism and Catholicism under Christianity. So 
perhaps it's okay to include these as distinct entries.

Similarly, within Buddhism: Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana.

So adding:

49. Theravada Buddhism
50. Mahayana Buddhism
51. Vajrayana Buddhism

Then, looking at other regions:

52. Australian Aboriginal Spirituality
53. Maori Religion (from New Zealand)
54. Inuit Spirituality
55. Siberian Shamanism
56. Amazonian Indigenous Religions
57. Tibetan Buddhism
Wait, Tibetan Buddhism is part of Vajrayana, so maybe it's included already.

Alternatively, I can think of specific schools or branches:

58. Nichiren Buddhism
59. Pure Land Buddhism
60. Zen Buddhism

That gives me 60. But perhaps some of these are more like denominations rather than separate religions. However, for the purpose of 
this list, they can be considered distinct entries.

Wait, in my initial count, I went up to 38 before considering splitting into denominations. So maybe I need to add more unique 
religions beyond that.

Alternatively, perhaps include some of the smaller or less-known ones like:

61. Cao Dai
62. Tenrikyo
63. Ravidassia
64. Druze (though it's a sect within Islam)
Hmm, maybe not.

I think to reach 60, I can include denominations as separate entries since the user didn't specify they must be major religions.

Here is a comma-separated list of at least 60 religions, including various denominations and traditions:

Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Shinto, Taoism, Confucianism, Jainism, Baha'i Faith, 
Scientology, Wicca, Druidry, Rastafarianism, Animism, Paganism, Agnosticism, Atheism, Deism, Humanism, Unitarian Universalism, 
Mesoamerican Religions (Aztec, Maya), Polynesian Mythology, African Traditional Religions, Chinese Folk Religion, Korean Shamanism, 
Vietnamese Folk Religion, Santeria, Voodoo, Candomblé, Yoruba Religion, Orisha Worship, Asatru, Norse Reconstructionism, Dravidian 
Religions, Mormonism (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-day Adventists, Methodist Church, 
Presbyterian Church, Anglican Communion, Eastern Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church, Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, 
Vajrayana Buddhism, Australian Aboriginal Spirituality, Maori Religion, Inuit Spirituality, Siberian Shamanism, Amazonian Indigenous 
Religions, Tibetan Buddhism, Nichiren Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, Zen Buddhism."

I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion about the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.

 

The United States is, controversially to many around the World, a normal country. This last sentence has a lot of meaning to the media, some meaning to various groups of the political classes, but almost no meaning to the Peace. All countries are normal to the Peace. This isn’t difficult to understand, because normality isn’t difficult to understand.

How nations present themselves to the outside World, is a question of internal perspective.

As far as the issue of Palestine and Jewish nationalism is concerned, that is an internal dispute that would be resolved through all the mechanisms that exist in the Holy Land in whatever form that exists. The reason there is no conclusion, peace or viability toward a peaceful coexistence in Palestine/Israel is because Palestinians and Jews are living, predominately, on their perceived historical differences, not their present existency.

There is striking evidence that the American populace has become somewhat frustrated with seeing funding to the Holy Land endlessly swallowed up in militarism and corrupt adventurism.

There can be no Peace in the Holy Land while extremists are in Government, the Peace understands this, so do the underlying American populace. It is true that the American political system understands this, but, for sure, the prospects for those whom have brought this situation about are grim if all they can now do is prospect this underlying situation for political support, having played a major role in bringing same situation about.

My advice to the populace of the United States is to remain in place and let this issue resolve naturally through the opinions of the people.

Whether that is an honest situation or appraisal I do not know, but as a European I know enough to know what comes next.

The People.

"I don't think any person in America should die because they are too poor to live."

 

The problem with America is, that what you see here is what the majority of the country looks like, run down infrastructure, lack of investment into the local communities, inadequate social planning, lack of social insight and cohesion in and by the populace, lack of investment into local services, public infrastructure decaying and unmaintained, lack of confidence in local government and town councils, public and private sector indecision, high crime, and just a general lack of care and attention to what it is to be a local community.

These problems have accelerated since 2001, local state governments have seen their budgets slashed by the federal administration with no coherent explanation given, well, no explanation given that actually coherently explains the societal reasoning. This process has been going on for 24 years, think about that, 24 years of creeping competitive austerity imposed upon the local American populace by a Government that has a complete disregard for its own local community, and what for; the military and political persecution of others in foreign countries in service to some ridiculous notion of National greatness!.

I certainly will say, because it is worth saying, that your forefathers would be spinning in their graves knowing what you Democrats and Republicans had made of their legacies, aspirations, hopes and desires for the Great American Nation.

Surely it isn’t this!

War ruins Republics, Monarchies, Dictatorships, Junta's, Oligarchies, Democracies, Communisms, Theocracies, Fascisms, Imperialisms etc, but Humanity lives forever.

We agree, America’s social problems have become chronic under various ‘terror-addicted’ American governments which have existed since 2001, most experts will also agree that these problems have existed for far longer, a foreign policy dictated by authoritarianism creates the conditions for political neglect, and that disables government not only at the national level but also the local level. We have said on many occasions that this situation would develop but unfortunately your governments seem to know better, corruption begets corruption it seems, the media have played a role in this of course, which is what you would expect the media to do, corruption begets corruption it seems, and the role of social media corporations must not be forgotten in steering the public mind to non attendance to the public interest, corruption begets corruption it seems.

We advise the US Government, both Democrat and Republican that your Democracy isn’t worth anything if all you Govern is a seething nest of resentment and societal decay.

The cost of living is now your biggest concern, as it is in the UK and many other nations where governments have been allying themselves to these policies of state sponsored terrorism.

The biggest problem right now for the Americans is that part of the political spectrum that governs the public mind away from simple and basic measures designed to strengthen communities, and toward communal responsibility to those whom have media investment, ‘followers’ and propaganda addictions.

The people you see in these videos are living in poverty, and the only cause of poverty is Government.

The sooner you give up this psychology of controlling behaviour, the better.

You cannot win a religious war against God, there are serious and very compelling questions relating to your thought processes that encouraged you to think you ever could.

So now you govern without the use of Terrorism, let's see what you got...
