So basically I want to turn myself over to Christ and become Born Again, I'm not 100% sure which church or denomination I should turn to but Orthodoxy seems like the most legit. It's hard because most of my family is like the "vibey" sort of Protestants who only really think about God on Sunday. But anyways there's one thing I'm kinda afraid of, and it's gonna sound really stupid and fucked but I promise I'm being genuine here... I'm afraid of confessing all of my sexual proclivities to any priests. I've shared pictures of my mom online, I've let old men fuck me in the ass, I've catfished men and women, I've lusted after teenage girls, I've jerked off to a looot of loli hentai. It's all very sick I know, and I want to change and loose these sins from me. But I'm afraid that anyone, even a priest, would be disgusted with me. Would not want me attending their service or being a part of their congregation. I know they're bound to secrecy and technically can't judge me or treat me differently, but obviously they're still human and I doubt they always adhere to those rules. God knows what I've done already, and he knows that I truly am repentant.. but I think it doesn't count unless a priest absolves you. Has anyone here ever dealt with something like this before?
>>18288983It's always funny to get Christians to lie for nonexistent internet clout. You're a skinnyfat dyel who sells out his Christian convictions in a failed attempt to convince strangers on the internet that he's not a skinnyfat dyel. And after that, you cope by telling yourself that at least you're not an unhinged drag queen.Seems like your entire life is completely fucked, no wonder you fall for the born again crap lol.
>>18288993>It's always funny to get Christians to lie for nonexistent internet clout.What am I lying about? Be specific.>You're a skinnyfat dyel IF I KEEP REPEATING IT> And after that, you cope by telling yourself that at least you're not an unhinged drag queen.No, that's you.>Seems like your entire life is completely fucked, no wonder you fall for the born again crap lol.Still no answer to the data and facts I posted. SAD
>>18288984Don't judge and condemn, anon. You don't know his heart. All can be forgiven through Christ.
>>18288998Maybe you're not lying. You could also be a fat dyel rather than a skinnyfat dyel lmao. But don't worry, you don't have to lift and do cardio. After all, at least you're not a looney autogynephile so it's all good.
>>18289003>Maybe you're not lying. You could also be a fat dyel rather than a skinnyfat dyel lmao. But don't worry, you don't have to lift and do cardio. After all, at least you're not a looney autogynephile so it's all good.All this reddit deflection. Again, typical r/atheism. No updoots for you here, retard.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky, not a single time. I never asked anyone to lie. These allegations are false. Now I need to go back to doing the work of the American people."
>>18288706Saddam was just generally retarded, but I doubt that'd have benefited him in any way. >>18288738A liar, but someone who lied for personal reasons IE to be considered more valuable and so be treated better by the Germans. He didn't lie to start the war, his claims were just passed along to America and used some years later as post facto support for an already held belief.
>>18288412Yeah just that and his decades long association with jewish mafia
>>18287627Clinton single handedly blocked American oil firms from investing into Iran by lying about WMD's.
>>18288743Yes but the orange is worse and way more violent
Clinton was hitting this while Obama was getting pegged by his bull.
There is no greater threat to archaeology than this man
>>18288641>>18288647>>18288659I would like to know as well. Why is this guy supposedly so awful?
>>18288641>why is he incompetent?My understanding is that Zahi Hawass pretty much won't let archeologists do anything other than work on existing digs/sites.
>>18288346basedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ziu2ygE_WcSchizos like flat earthers are given ample opportunity to "debate", but during these debates there is nothing but an endless torrent of logical fallacies and karen tier namecalling. Zahi Hawass isn't going to sit there and listen to bullshit forever.
>>18288346Isn't this the guy who had that show where he had a team of student archeologists and made one girl piss in tbe corner in front of everyone because they were too far down in a cave for her to go back and use the bathroom?I mean I get it but it was still funny.
>>18288710He doesn’t sound very professional.
Why was Austria Hungry so bad at war during WWI? They were a diverse, multiethnic country and since diversity is strength shouldn't they have been able to rape and gape the bongs, frogs and commies? Did they have inferior firearms or artillery or something?
>>18288733Western Europe is just as brown and gay as the US is though
>>18287921>>18284268Amerimutts are gay subhuman trannies
>>18284213The truth is that they had a bad start to the war because of the treason of Alfred Redl and some poor decisions by the high command, and the severe losses they took in the initial Russian offensive handicapped them to some extent for the rest of the war, but they were still more than good enough to BTFO the Italians on their own.Ethnic tensions within the army were far from as bad as they are made out to be, part of it is pure propaganda. For example, Germans tried to scapegoat Czechs as cowardly desertors who brought about the early defeats which Czechs at the time vehemently, and rightly, objected against as the vast overwhelming majority of their soldiers did infact not break line, but after the war Czechoslovakia ironically embraced this anti-Czech propaganda as part of its national mythology. As for the language issue, it was literally mandated that every single officer must be proficient in the language(s) of the men under his direct command.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKtuZpGFxnc

Diversity can be a buff to innovative thinking but diversity with no lingua franca and a dysfunctional feudal ancien regime with a morass like bureaucracy is not a buff
>Iranians are using pre-Islamic flag>pre-Islamic flag has Zoroastrian (pagan) symbols>Lion (Zurvan-Chronos; Rostam-Heracles) and Sun (Mithras-Helios) >basically: Zeus-Ahuramazda vs Allah-Typhon
>>18287913I did a survey where i asked a 1000 people if you were a faggot and 84% of them said yes. The study is was fact checked by independent sources such as experts from the sharty.If you deny this you are rejecting empiricism and you're anti science and an antivaxxer
I'll use this opportunity to share the fact I found a zoroastrian grave in Rome.
>>18288140None of what you said is true lmao.Modern conversion to Zoroastrianism is not as much of a LARP as people think it is since unlike European pagan religions, it’s still a living tradition that never really died out. There is no such thing as “neo-Zoroastrianism” because unlike European pagan religions, Zoroastrianism never ceased to exist as a living tradition. Modern Zoroastrianism still has a direct line from Zoroaster.
>>18285249Paganism will be dead soon even in India Rajesh
>>18287827Except in game of thrones they burn people alive which is a big no no in Zoroastrianism. Fire cannot touch bodies. As long as something peaks the curiosity of people who desire to delve deeper and learn something along the way, cool.
Why were German nobility so freakishly tall?>Otto von Bismarck was 6ft2 (1.90m)>Paul von Hindenburg was fucking 6ft6 (1.98m)He makes Hitler look like a fucking teenager in comparison.
>>18288814The average American in 2026 is a spic midget.
>>18288781The Potsdam Guard. In short (hehe), it boils down to good breeding. Something this board wouldn't know a lick about.
>>18288835>>18288781It doesn't boil down to anything, they were a joke/meme unit created as personal entertainment for the King and were disbanded almost the second he kicked the bucket because everyone knew it was a ridiculous gimmick.Also the guards were peasants, often quite literally kidnapped or given to the King as gifts, none of them would be made into aristocrats or given to "breed" with noble families
>>18288943Germans are weird man>haha look how tall the soldiers are, this is amazing
>>18288669Hitler was 5'9", he wasn't a manlet, that's average height. Now Stalin was a manlet, he was like 5'3".
I believe the Soviet Union had a lot of redeeming qualities, as well as finding it incredible fascinating (far more than NS Germany) as a White nationalist. I’m not a Hitlerist, I don’t believe in Germanic supremacy and instead have a pan-Europeanist sort of view of the White race that collectivizes all as one; Mussolini being someone I admire far more than Hitler, but I don’t strictly consider myself a Fascist. Things I ideologically admire about the Union are as follows>One party system, totalizing authority with a single ruling structure, concentrating power to one official worldview by way of directing individual rights to a collective “higher mission” of unity.>Strict rule against anybody conspiring against the people through State controlled mass-surveillance, political censorship, purges, and mass-arrests and work camps to enforce cohesion amongst society>State controlled media, education, and idealized propaganda to cultivate loyalty and cohesion, promoting ideas of youthful vigor, strength, discipline, and full loyalty to the state and the people>State directed economy, heavy government steering of labor, production, and distribution turning economic life into a disciplinary system; ergo personal advancement is discouraged, whereas work of national projects and wider prosperity is ideal>Assimilation and standardization over diversity; one uniform national culture is enforced through schooling, the workplace, youth groups, and, of course, propaganda to produce one collective belief systemNot arguing that the Soviet Union was actually some right-wing utopia and I recognize that my praise is somewhat selective, but I wish people would widen their minds a bit more and look at things objectively instead of writing off the union entirely on account of the communism, considering it’s not 1970 anymore and we don’t have to worry about it taking over the world. I don’t see a point in ‘throwing out the baby with the bath water’, as they say.
>>18288478So it's just contrarianism?

>>18288650I mean honestly why would anyone genuinely care about a couple hundred thousand Ukrainians starving unless they were Ukrainian themselves?
>>18288966>couple hundred thousandit was millions, you rusjeet faggot
So some literally who e-celeb put up a video bashing Disney Adults, but he made an interesting argument about 15 minutes in that they qualify as a religious cult, spelling out the similarities between Disney and the Catholic Church.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjmQK_DGWgsDoes Disney really qualify as a religion now?
>>18283236He's wrong for going to Disney land. Stupid jewish business.
>>18286601>I don't think Disney wants to be a religion, even if a lot of people seem to think that they do. Religion requires some level of commitment or sacrifice as a way to prove devotion, for a company like Disney this would be a huge burden to put on its guests and audiences, Disney doesn't want to create friction between itself and its consumer base, they really just want your money. One could argue guests money is the sacrifice or commitment, but I don't think this is the case because Disney offers something in return for your money, you don't pay them to prove or show your commitment to them, you pay them for entertainment and their park experiences.I was going to reply that "all these fuckers care about is the numbers on the spreadsheets", but then I remembered that Disney's stock value has been plummeting for the past decade and retards like Iger and Kennedy seem to face absolutely no consequence no matter how much they fuck up. Eisner was sacked over a couple ~$150 million films that underperformed by $50 million or so (box office bombs to be sure, but recoverable), meanwhile Iger presides over multiple billion-dollar losses (Bleeding Red, The Nigger Mermaid, Elio, Snow Brown, etc.) the active degeneration of the parks into human zoos, the complete implosion of the Star Wars IP, picking a fight with Governor DeSantis and losing (tax exempt status), and everyone just shrugs. He's also been caught lying to shareholders multiple times.Fuck, maybe Critical Grifter is right that Communism has completely rotted the brains of Disney leadership and they've turned into a quasi-religious cult that's more concerned with peddling ideological poison than generating revenue.
>>18283298There isn't a precise definition of it, so it can range from>a person over the age of 18 who's a fan of Disney mediato>a person over the age of 18 who goes to Disney parks regularlyto>a person over the age of 18 who suffers from arrested emotional development and just happens to be a Disney fan
>>18283236What a waste of time watching this video was.
>>18286594>more obeseThis one I doubt. Takes a lot to walk around Disney land
He knows the patterns of people and politics right? Why haven't you seen a history fan taking over the world?
>>18288926Because historians are nerds, bookworms, they spend their days reading books instead of killing people
>>18288926That outfit is impeccable
>>18288926>>18288961Ashurnasirpal II fits this
>Academics>Doing anything>Literally anything
Historically, have journalists truly been protected in war zones or have they always been kidnapped and murdered despite international law protecting them?When did the idea that journalists were allowed to roam and document war zones as a protected class develop?
Today is the 2 year anniversary of his death btw.
>>18288915Like civilian news correspondents? Probably Vietnam? I think most civilian outlets like Reuters etc got their news of the battlefield situation from the Military reporters and just passed it along to the masses. This effectively gave the military and state control over the news and footage the people saw. In Vietnam you had civilian reporters on the ground filming and documenting the events and speaking to people and soldiers. This was a big reason for the people being so antiwar in the US, they saw what was really happening in bloody detail on the news every night. First war where they really saw the reality in full color.
>>18288915nobody cares about this chilian illegal immigrant spic except you rusjeets, he wasn't a real american
>Pharao has always fought against niggers and jews
>>18288872No it wasntIts because some dynasty/king was R1B and it was from some old EEF lineage before even the spread of IE languageAnd even then haplogroups are different from ADNA/geneticsOtherwise i can say Hitler, Napoleon and Garibaldi where MENAs thenAnd btw R isnt even european in the first place Ancient Egyptians where closely related to modern egyptians and apart from themIts yemenis who are the closest>>18288889White countries are the ones with most faggots Only we wuzzer is you retarded wignat tranny
>>18288889All of America, tho? I would think the USA is more of a little girl thing rather than pederastic/little boy thing. Its definitely not the same as the intended purposes are different as far as I'm aware.
>>18288864Egyptians were way closer to Nubians than they were to Semites.
>>18288920>Cult of AntinousStop subverting Kmt you degenerate Abrahamic fag.
>semites and europeans working together nearly destroyed pharaonic egypt
Why did you stop believing in a God?
I don't necessarily NOT believe in a god, but theres no proof of such a thing existing so.... I dont know. If one or many exist they are ambivalent about us or theres a something between our worlds that is blocking any sort of interaction.
>>18287836Proof? Everything about every religion is contradictory, illogical or just total horseshit. At best some parts are just non-verifiable which isnt really anything. If any of the gods from the popular religions exist then I dont think its much to ask for their appearance or intervention. Like, open uo the clouds and let us know that they're there.
>>18287292I was like 7, I don't really remember.
>>18287292That's a stupid question; I believe in Jesus!>>18287327>>18287366>>18287424Enjoy Hell.>>18287428>>18287730>>18288611You're braindead. Tick tock!
>>182872921. Hell didn't make any sense as a punishment for exercising free will to disbelieve an organized religious creed. So I get 75 years as an aware lifeform to figure out the correct religion, or I get to spend a literal eternity being tortured? Lol maybe it's all true, but it just sounds like humans trying to force other humans to give them money and behave.2. The protestant religion i grew up in wasn't believable.3. Too much bad shit happens. It's more random chance than an ordered universe a prime mover might create. Or maybe god made it like that. But our world and universe don't point to a prime mover. If there is one it/he/she doesn't care if we subscribe and pray.4. All human faith and belief is clearly confirmation bias. I definitely fear a heaven and hell based afterlife, but it's not believable. 5. The speed of light. The biblical creation account and planet/solar system accretion don't jibe. A. Things that can be arguments for a belief in a prime mover - the possibility that earth and earth life is exceptional and rare or the only one of its kind in the entire universe. The laws of thermal dynamics deny us the ability to confirm that. We can't even explore our own solar system thoroughly yet.B. Why things die. Could be evidence of a "fallen world with sin." Meh. Seems like a stretch.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>18288038>there's no notable pedophiles, only their commander!!!!Cope, seethe, shit and then kill yourself. I say this without a hint of irony.
>>18288308Nietzsche hated communism/anarchism and I doubt he would have had much good to say about ancaps either.

>>18288756He hated lefties, original anarchism was a leftist syndicalist movement.
The fact that they got cut off and isolated from the rest of the Hellenistic world, and as their rule diminished and territory shrank from invasion, they couldn't escape, and they knew it would be inevitable that their posterity would eventually mix and disappear into the Indian underclass.Look at his face, he knows they're fucked.
Can we build a Hellenistic Dharmic Pantheon in this thread?>Dionysus and Shiva would definitely be syncretized together, leading to the deity Diova
>>18288934Ganesh syncretizes with who??
>>18288840Were in the valley too, don't know what they were doing there. Little remains of their rule, except a few ruins and coins.
>>18288942>don't know what they were doing thereThey got trapped after the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom fell.They also had some contact with the Chinese
>>18288949Some say the shina speaking dards of the tulail- gurez region of the valley descend the greeks that settled there. However i think that's been discredited. Interesting thought though.
