My criticism of Muhammad isn't disingenuous, because unlike Jesus he's a terrible role model AND a pedophile...yet still serves as the focal point for the entire Islamic faith. If adherence to Muhammad and acknowleding his "perfection" as a human being and as Allah's #1 prophet wasn't the crux of the entire freakin' belief system, maybe you would have a point. But that isn't the case, seeing as millions of people follow him as we speak.
I don't think most Christians know much about Jesus beyond the greatest hits and I imagine most Muslims are the same with Mohammed. For the casuals it's just a guy to see as a paragon, not someone to follow word for word.

This is a myth based on people not understanding how life expectancy is calculated. It doesn't mean people died at 30. It meant that there was a high infant mortality rate. If you made it past childhood, the likelihood that you would live past 30 was high.

There was a higher mortality rate every step along the way

It’s only a very recent phenomenon that anyone thought beyond a hairy snatch and a pair of titties. They weren’t carding bitches back then lol

Well then let's die at 25 like cavemen. And live in caves. Cause we all want to live in caves. And yes I know OccultHawk will second this because he's too stupid to realize he has zero desire to be a caveman and must be saved from himself.
