Why are there so many lies and false narratives surrounding the middle ages? Why are historians so intent on convincing people that it was hell on Earth and everyone was suffering 24/7 while being smelly, toothless, with bubonic hemorrhoids?

Is atheism just another religion?
>>18262239what defines an atheist is the lack of morals
“Trust the Science” is indistinguishable from “Trust in God”. Half of America trusted the science that men could get pregnant.
>>18262245You can totally put faith in science, though… you can totally put faith in math, the odds, etc…Scientists blindly believe consensus all the fucking time, and the consensus right now can’t even agree on what a woman is.
>>18264986> The logic is wrong, because being an atheist just means you don't believe in God.Believing in the existence of gods, spirits, demons, faeries, etc, is no different from believing in the existence of aliens. This is what theists and atheists both fail to understand. Listen…Atheists don’t like to acknowledge that a sufficiently godlike alien being can totally be worshiped as a god or something.Theists don’t like acknowledging that their god is just a big alien and believing in gods is a variant of believing in aliens.
>>18266109Who are you talking about exactly?
The KJV shows the apostate Fundamentalist where the UFO occupants come from. They are not humanoids. They are degenerate forms; they are mongrel forms of mutations. This explains why God drowned the animals in the Flood, and why Solomon was told not to get horses out of Egypt, and why David hamhocked or handstringed the horses he captured from the Assyrians.
Nobody can give me a straight answer why God in Genesis said "The people have became as WE are" and the word Elohim (Hebrew word for Gods) was used when God created the Earth.
>>18266103>Nobody can give me a straight answer why God in Genesis said "The people have became as WE are"The Trinity. It's referring to the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
>>18266136But Jesus wasn't born yet. And I thought The Trinity was the same God. Is God 2 to 3 separate beings?
So how did they go from Anatolia all the way across Europe to concentrate in Belgium?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Pottery_Neolithic#Analysis_of_mitochondrial_DNAMAP:Ancient European Neolithic farmers are genetically closest to modern Near-Eastern/ Anatolian populations: genetic matrilineal distances between European Neolithic Linear Pottery culture populations (5,500–4,900 calibrated BC) and modern Western Eurasian populations.[15]Agricultural and husbandry practices originated 10,000 years ago in a region of the Near East known as the Fertile Crescent.[14] According to the archaeological record this phenomenon, known as "Neolithic", rapidly expanded from these territories into Europe.[14] However, whether this diffusion was accompanied or not by human migrations is greatly debated.[14] Mitochondrial DNA –a type of maternally inherited DNA located in the cell cytoplasm- was recovered from the remains of Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) farmers in the Near East and then compared to available data from other Neolithic populations in Europe and also to modern populations from South-Eastern Europe and the Near East.[14] The obtained results show that substantial human migrations were involved in the Neolithic spread and suggest that the first Neolithic farmers entered Europe following a maritime route through Cyprus and the Aegean Islands.[14]

Why do modern people critique the treatment of the americas native.They were savages that didnt use their land And They lost because they were dumber and didnt invent metalurgy.Manifest Destiny is manifest destiny.Master morality is master morality.It doesnt matter if it leads to naked savages getting raped and enslaved by the Superior Kultur.

>>18265821Multiple languages allows for mutations to occure. Without mutation, the trajectory is static, and a static trajectory can not repent of it is going in the wrong direction.Monolingual/monocultural systems risk becoming locked into potentially erroneous paths with no mechanism to escape them.

>>18266077CHG is one of the core ancestral populations for Europeans. It's a good metric to define whiteness. Nobody but EuROPEans and Eurasians have it. East Asians and Near Eastern Semites like Arabs don't have those genetics.
>>18266122No such thing as Eurasians, they're just Mongols, some rapebaby Indo-European daddy bvll admixture doesn't change that.
Christianity worked great until they dropped the part about whites collectively being the body of the one true living God upon the earth to rule all of creation forever. Whites collectively, as the body of Christ, subjugated the earth in the Son's name, and that included enslaving the non white and the slaughter of any who opposed the rule of Heaven. Islam was created for those left out of the salvation of the light, so that instead of being destroyed the dark might be led to worship the light of God. Today Muslims instead worship a cube and no longer recognize the God that they're meant to serve. All who oppose the rule of the one true God are subject to death, because they seek to interfere with the salvation of the light. Love of ones enemies does not preclude the possibility that their death is required. Those who fail to submit are guilty and there is no condemnation from heaven for their destruction. It is because of love that such enemies should be afforded the option to worship the one true living God instead of being summarily slaughtered as they surely all deserve.Christianity stopped being christianity when it stopped discerning any difference between the light of God and the dark of hell which ever seek to destroy the light.Luckily, the truth is black and white, and all one need do to know God is see the light.

>>18266118Who cares what Jesus taught, he is a defender of Adulterers. The ending of Psalm 50 almost seems like God is rebuking Jesus and christians themselves.> “Why should you recite my commandments? Why should you talk about my covenant? You refuse to let me correct you; you reject my commands. You become the friend of every thief you see, and you associate with adulterers.

Britain most likely would have remained predominantly Celtic since the Roman population of the island never established a permanent foothold, so how would a Celtic Britain have faired in the Middle Ages?
>>18266044It depends on how unified and centralized those states are/become early one because there’s still one major threat: the Vikings. Scotland probably doesn’t change much initially. The Vikings will conquer the Scottish Isles and Dal Riata and the Picts unify under the MacAlpins. But depending on the strength of the Brythonics, they can’t conquer Galloway and the Lothians. Scotland is thus much weaker and may never retake the areas controlled by the Norse-Gaels, as they did irl in 1266. Unless the Scots are lucky, you’d see a stalemate. When it comes to the Brythonic kingdom to the south, I’m inclined to say it does better than the various independent Anglo-Saxon kingdoms at fending off the Vikings. But who knows. If they adopt Charlemagne’s feudalism, then they may have a weak central government that still has problems with constant raids like the French. Maybe you get a second Normandy but in Yorkshire. Maybe they still lose and get conquered along the way, like a united England was in 1014. But, linguistic and cultural changes would not happen under Viking rule in the same way it did under Anglo-Saxon rule. If they survive it all in all, you probably get a Gaelic kingdom in the north stalemated with a Norse-Gael vassal of Norway. The Brythonics may remain a unified state and exert control over those conflicts by the 11th century. The question then becomes what happens through inheritance and dynastic marriages. It would be really hard to say what happens after that though. My gut tells me that Ireland is probably left alone since there aren’t a slew of Anglo-Norman adventurers wanting to conquer their own fiefdoms.
>>18266044It eventually becomes Daneland because the celts are a weak and contentious people who would have easily fell to a Great Heathen Army.
>>18266044The Gaelic Scots have would taken over instead.

>>18265951What else can be done? Everyone has a veil over their eyes so they don't realize others can see what they hide. In the last day the veil will be removed from everyone's eyes. Everything will be exposed. Do good in secret instead of evil so that in that day when your secret gets exposed you earn honor instead of shame.

The difference between Christian and Pajeet metaphysics is this:While Christians are able to conceive of final causality—that is, a material universe that, empirically speaking, is in a constant state of potentiality, linearly evolving until it becomes pure actuality after the Apocalypse with the establishment of the Kingdom of God, after which it will no longer be in potentiality because it will possess everything—Pajeets, on the other hand, conceive of a cyclical world. The universe is always in potentiality, always material. Pajeet metaphysics prioritizes matter over spirit, so that nothing exists in pure actuality nor in the possibility of being in pure actuality. The universe, from infinity, has been in potentiality, without beginning or end; it is material, as are its beings and deities, and will never cease to be material.The Christian universe is mystical; along with Christians, it is evolving toward sanctification in a perfect and immutable being like its creator. The Pajeet universe is materialistic, as are its beings, who are constantly changing material beings.
>>18265950>The assertion that only God is the sole universal soul is as erroneous as Averroes' concept of the common soul. If God were the only universal soul and we were all emanations of Him, that would mean that rape or murder would also be God's doing, since we would all share the same universal soul.(1) This presupposes that it is the soul which acts, which Advaita rejects and says that agency inheres in the intellect which is non-Self, i.e. not the actual soul. The intellect is comprised of subtle elements and is a kind of extremely subtle body, that is comparatively more 'inward' than the physical body in relation to our Self of Awareness despite not being the Self i.e. the actual genuine soul.(2) Because the Self or the soul is a non-agent, non-volitional and never commits creaturely actions, none of the actions performed by that intellect stain the Self or soul in any way. The intellect's actions don't belong to the Self of every creature any more than the actions of a animal situated in space belong to the space that it inhabits when it commits that action, that is to say not at all.(3) Each intellect is different from every other intellect and each intellect experiences the karmic results of the actions that it commits and not the actions of other intellects. In other words, the doings of any one intellect are not the doings of any other intellect.(4) Furthermore, as imperfection has no real existence and is only an a part of the universal illusion, any specific instances of it like rape and murder don't actually exist and so their hypothetical existence cannot contradict the actual perfection of God's existence. This takes the same route as the Augustian solution to the problem of evil of privatio boni but in a more all-encompassing and consistent way without any special exceptions and equivocating.
>>18265953For starters, Vishishtadvaita admits that there are many cases where certain things act like substances in relation to other things while at the same time acting like properties or qualities of other things at the same time, with their example being how the soul being the substance in relation to which the physical body depends but at the same time the individual soul depending on the substance of God and being more like a qualifying mode in relation to that substance.>1. To assert that only the soul exists and that the body is merely an accident of it is also incorrect since knowledge arises from the combined work of the senses (faculties of the body) and common sense (faculty of the rational soul). The body perceives black and white, but the soul differentiates between the two. We see that the body and soul are mutually dependent for knowledge. According to Vishishtadvaita the cognitive faculty of differentiation belongs to the intellect and not the Self/soul which is a not an agent or thinker, so all Aristotle is doing here is just highlight the interplay of two different bodies (one gross the other subtle) neither of which is the Self or soul, so that's not a sound foundation for making conclusions about the soul.Vishishtadvaita also rejects that the soul or body are mutually dependent for knowledge, since they say that the soul has a kind of primitive simple self-awareness in the state of dreamless sleep that remains throughout and isn't dependent on the body
>>18265953>3. If the body were a contingent instrument for the soul, something like a shirt (according to proponents of reincarnation), then it would have to be a separate instrument, like a tool, or an integrated instrument (like the hand becoming a tool of the mind). But the relationship between body and soul is neither, for the soul suffers from the body's pain, whether it sees it degraded or violated.Strictly speaking this is the logical fallacy known as a non-sequitur, since the body being a tool for the soul doesn't logically preclude the soul from having knowledge of the body's experiences, but this quote frames the reasoning as if this type of relation is logically precluded, but there is actually no valid a priori reason why that would be the case. Any reasoning while relies on an implicit solution being assumed to be logically precluded when it's not in fact logically precluding is engaging in a non-sequitur fallacy. Vishishtadvaita affirms this very type of relation, that the soul is intrinsically independent of any particular body and is only temporarily connected with any particular body. The reason the soul can have knowledge of the body's experiences is because it is endowed with the essential property of knowledge and possesses a kind of relational-consciousness called a dharma-bhuta-jnana that allows it to witness and know whatever experience the intellect is having like pain or pleasure, this accounts for why the soul seems to suffers from the body's pain, because it has immediate knowledge of the intellect experiencing that pain.
>>18265979>If you are going to deny the authority of Aristotle, you should do so by giving a counter-argumentative definition instead of running around like a headless chicken.My refutation of your arguments does depend on that, since I've identified the where they are fallacious and thus logically invalid already without having to provide any counter-arguments to Aristotle. I don't care about arguing about Aristotle, my only aim was to debunk your argument which I achieved. If your critiques are logically invalid then that's all that matters at the end of the day.
>>18266069You're a funny little dude.
The only way we can make sense of this world and all its whys and confidently process our lives without existential dread is to believe in God. There is no other way. Atheism is a sickness. It hinders your happiness.
>>18265580I didn’t understand
>>18265604>>18265580This is not a good parable, because gamma waves are not particles, and they are not subject to entropy. Also, if Jesus is the light of the world, then he would be some kind of independent gamma wave here.
>>18265642You’re too schizo for me.
>>18265668You might be autistic. Researchers like Bernard Crespi and Christopher Badcock, claim that schizophrenia and autism are opposites on a spectrum.
>>18265255Not caring whether your beliefs are really true is really a big part of the zeitgeist among intellectual theists. And also surprisingly common among normies, who when pressed about God etc. will say things like "it's my truth but may not be true for everyone." It's utilitarian to them, whatever works. But to most atheists this is a very strange and even repulsive way of thinking.
