Just learned that Europeans and The West are considered as Edomites, descendants of Esau. How do European Christians feel that they are the antagonists of Israelites?
>>17283100Non of that is stopping it from American Christians adopting those beliefs, most are half way there. Also, the West being Edom is not a cope, it's actual symbolically and biblically accurate.
>>17281796This makes too much sense.
>>17283106>Non of that is stopping it from American Christians adopting those beliefs, most are half way there.Evangelicals are retarded. News at 11.>Also, the West being Edom is not a cope, it's actual symbolically and biblically accurate.Says who? Some random guy? You don’t get to interpret the Bible in some ass backwards novel way and then get mad when few people give a shit about your novel interpretation. Schizos do this shit all the time and their interpretations are just as idiotic. The only difference with Green is that he interprets it in a way that benefits his anti-Christian position instead of the usual pro-Christian position. Arguing against an interpretation that nobody accepts means you’re arguing against yourself; not against anyone else. It’s retarded. The jews are not the bene gesserit.
>>17283117Adam just quotes and repeats what the rabbis and synagogues already believe in. It's not his interpretation It's a group of Jewish rabbis interpretation, maybe it is even in the Talmud, I haven't checked because it's too big. Adam is one guy and he doesn't believe he can take down Christianity because it's the worlds most practiced religion. He just seeks to expose what the bible actually says about other groups of people who aren't Israelites.
>>17282235Jesus never said jews are the children of the devil
>Deny all reason and logic>Reject all historical evidence that disproves their Bible>Scoff at all scientific proof that debunks their god>Insists on believing a fairy tale with no evidence and wants to force you to believe it tooWhat do you call that but a parasite that seeks to infect and harm you?
>>17283130I am on the side of truth, so I must fight Jesus the deceiver and his army of parasite demons until the end.
>>17283142>Do you believe in a loving god?No, the cold and cruel nature of the universe is proof it was not created by a loving god. You must refer to some ancient mythology about how Adam and Eve messed it all up in order to continue believing in your fairy tale lie. So many excuses.
>>17283142>the story of Jesus God sacrificed himself to him self in order to save us through a loophole in the rules he created. What a great story.
>>17283142no it is not logic and reason. God is neutral. He is like a human i think it fit your god in bilbe because in bilbe even say he is like human. Maybe i can belive you but all your shit christian say god is loving is all good is bullshit bro. Stop make people belive your cult. old and new testament is the proof. old is chad new is faggot. Why? because it is written because people who follow jesus.>you are catholic right?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinitarians
>>17283154>Stop make people belive your cultHe's a parasite, it's his nature.
>Christkeks believe this
>>17282640Kek. Frog God wouldn't attack his people for kikes.
>>17282640doesn't matter anyway. touching afrog makes you unclean until sunset in judaism (so you cannot pray), but egyptians ate frogs, they would not have been fazed the least bit about them, it would have been like a plague of snacks. the goatfucker making up the fairy tale in question knew jack shit about egyptians and even forgot that the promulgation of the rules about ritual cleanliness come later in the story, even his fictitious jews in egypt would not have cared about frogs falling on them.
This makes me want to look this up to see if the word is a collective noun like "deer" or something>t. not religious
>>17282640Not even religious myself, but you're telling me the Xtians are using their imagination and critical thinking skills in a non-retarded and non-moralistic way?That gives me hope for the future. Thank you for sharing, Anon.inb4>noooooo we're supposed to despise eachother and shitpost for eternity on this board!
>>17283126Okay, the dictionary does indeed say collective. The only odd thing that could trip you up if you're prone to autistic interpretations is that a pluralized form also exists, so you could walk away with the naive black and white belief that this necessarily means the lexically singular form is in fact semantically singular. Actually the word is just really odd from a Semitic language perspective because of its length. Perhaps it's a compound. There is a tendency to prefer "triconsonantal roots" in Semitic languages and since this word is unusually long, there is a tendency to drop the explicit plural ending.
Even 1.5 millennium after. Other European empires, like the British or Spanish never had such admiration. And the Russian, Ottoman and Mongol empires are frankly despised.
>>17280169Because they connected every city with streets, they build aqueducts, bridges temples
>>17280169>Why is this empire so loved through history?Because it was a polity which forced (yes, “forced”) city-states, kingdoms, tribes, and whatnot, to cooperate into a grander structure than their self-imposed political limitations & geographic limitations. It was a polity that tried its best as it could to force everyone to share a single ground of association (ex. Gauls eating bread from Egyptian wheat, Hispanics drinking wine from metal cups made from the Levant, Britannics wearing clothes made out of material imported from Asia via the Levant, Anatolia...) without at all or skimming lowest as possible it could, from Point A to Point B, with Points C, D, E, F etc., in-between them as literal barriers of passage/entry.I don't necessary want it to be about commerce solely but it was also a pact of trust: city-state/kingdom/tribe A didn't had to worry anymore in being at war with city-state/kingdom/tribe B, C, D etc.
>>17280253The Russian Empire has always been despotic and backwards. They also have a huge chip on their shoulders, "oh no everyone invades poor Russia," as if they didn't have troops troops in France and Germany on multiple occasions.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_RussiaThis is a funny example of vatnikism as it includes mostly cases where Russia invaded its neighbors first, got its shit pushed in, and ended up with foreign soldiers on its lands. Also "invasions" involving colonies rebelling, and even ones that never actually happened but were just planned.
>>17282469Hard to imagine more goblin-like 'culture'.
>>17280169Only Westerners give a shit about it

>>17282836I think there's court testimony that he's only like 5 inches
"There is as much evidence for the Flying Spaghetti Monster, as there is for Yahweh"Abrahamic believers, do you disagree with the above statement?If so, how can you prove it? Note the Bible isn't evidence that Yahweh is real. It's a book, and a book in and of itself doesn't prove something is real.If that were true that a book about the Flying Spaghetti Monster is proof that he too, is real.
>>17283029Yahweh is an egregore with millions of followers. FSM is not manifesting much of anything.
>If so, how can you prove it?Yahweh have metaphysical attributes. FSM haven't them attributes at all.Then if you believe in some metaphysical statements, like causality, you rather believe in Yahweh than in FSM.Therefore Yahweh have more evidence than FSM.
>>17283029Have you ever heard about TAG?
Why do larpagans complain that Christianity is a non-European religion given that actual pagan Europeans had no problem worshiping Egyptian, Anatolian, Mesopotamian, etc gods?
>>17282318theyve been investigated by the feds a couple times now but they always close the case because they cant find evidence of criminal activity. there have been a few attempts at forming white nationalist christian organizations but most of them got WACO'd, like numbers 25 and the ruby ridge people. I hope the AFA stays smart about not falling for obvious fed tricks like those guys did (the ruby ridge guy got done in by a based and fellow racist asking for a sawed off shotgun, and that fellow racist turned out to be a fed) but they have let in a couple less savory types which concerns me. im not sure if there are actual physical churches that only allow whites in america, but there are several christian identity groups and national organizations. why they havent tried something like the AFA I am not sure desu, I am not really involved with the christian nationalist community as much as the pagan nationalist one so I dont know as much about the internal workings going on over there. I know they have been compromised by feds for some time now, its a pretty well known joke that the KKK is composed of about 5 boomers who havent got a clue and 50 feds keeping an eye on them. but the KKK has been around for ages so that was bound to happen eventually
>>17282364
>>17282384>why they havent tried something like the AFA I am not sure desuBecause there's three kinds of people interested in CI: Feds, schizophrenics who can't play nice because they want to be their own Pope, and the dudes too stupid to earn their hammer in prison.
>>17279053>a lot of Japanese culture is Chinese,And therefore not Japanese, in the sense of originating from Japan. But in this case I'd agree it's native, why? Because most "Japanese" are actually immigrants from Korea and China who adopted mainland Chinese culture then froze in the Tang dynasty. So it's misleading to claim they are 'Japanese' when they are to the Ainu what Australians are to abos.
>>17283143Yayoi period was a few centuries before the Tang though, Japan received heavy continental influence after they'd already arrived
midwit take>america is comparable to late-republic rome high IQ take>america is comparable to pre revolutionary france
America is comparable to 1928 America.

>The universe is deterministic>So, I don't have free will!Is this the most midwit philosophical view in the world? Why do so many scientists fall into this trap when compatibilism has been written about so richly from so many angles?
>>17280588You could have not posted and gone outside to look up at the sky instead.Determinism is braindead.
>>17283025>You could have not posted and gone outside to look up at the sky instead.That thought never even entered my head so no, I could not have done that. Even if it had I would not have made that choice, because my brain isn't wired to leave warmth, comfort and entertainment to go out into the cold and look up at a dark sky doing nothing. When weighing those options against each other there is no outcome where I choose the second one.
>>17282858God knows I will eat ham for breakfast tomorrow, he even reveals this as a prophecy Tomorrow comes and I simply utilize my free will to choose cereal for breakfast. What gives?
>>17282971>I don't share their opinionThis don't have anything to do with opinions, it's about how language is usedClearly there's a historical precedence for the word 'choice' being used, despite it being impossible for you to choose anything else
>>17282844Look, if you are saying 'true symmetry' is incompatible with determinism, (if you are not saying that, this is just silly burden shifting)Then I would just not grant that the thing- 'true symmetry' is a thing that exist, in need of an explanation whatever phenomena you want an explanation for is merely false symmetry, and got a casually determined explanation, just like anything else that has ever been explained
Was it really such a good idea to oppose Britain and start WWII? What were the advantages of engaging in the military conflict? The number of casualties was mind boggling. Was it worth it?
>>17281780After Prussians took over the city, many German Danzigers left the city. The Prussian government replaced them with Brandenburgians and other kinds of loyal Prussian subjects. This is why after WW1 "Danzig" was already pro-German and anti-Polish, but these people had nothing to do with the actual Danzigers who built and developed the city throughout centuries.The NSDAP activists in Danzig were largely the lower classes imported from mainland Germany simply because there were too few local supporters and the 'zuruck zum Reich' thing was largely staged by imported 'Danzigers', real Danziger merchant families liked the Free City arrangement because Danzig could profit immensely from the trade from both from Poland and Germany and they certainly didn't want to cut off ties with Poland.Danzigers attempted to defend the city from Prussian forces trying to seize it in 1793, they generally hated and despised Prussia and even Schopenhauer wrote about this because his family was among those who left the city because of their hate for Prussia and preference for the Polish.
>>17277863>millions of english lives>British ww2 casualties are 300,000
>>17282757490,000 actually.over a million in collective totality if we take all people of Anglo extraction across the world.
>>17281723>The NSDAP were Germans AnonThey were always the most peripheral Germans, like Austrians, Prussians, Germans in Eastern Europe. That's where their support came from, lmao.
