if jesus teached us forgiveness, why can't the western world forgive jews for killing jesus?
>>18751088Lying like this doesnt help you.

>>18751091if low effort shitposts dont convince anyone, why do you DO them, hmmm?why do I need to do a song and dance for a worthless shitposter?>checks imageOHHHHH I see.you are a Pagan LARPER assmad that your LARP got called out here >>18750723I got it now :)Sorry bro but you are still just practicing christianity with random fragments sprinkled on top.
>doesn't address that Jesus is a Jew>doesn't address that Jesus preached exclusively to Jewish people>pretends to be obtuse about the word "Jew" and its historical meaning>avoids all facts to triples down on shitposting Typical Christian. Trying so hard to be spiritually Jewish while denying the obvious to anyone paying attention.
>Sorry bro but you are still just practicing christianity with random fragments sprinkled on top.Platonism was a flourishing philosophy with its own metaphysics and native mysticism, in development hundreds of years before the invention of Christianity. I'm a follower of that, not of biblical propaganda. Christianity copied Platonism, not the other way around. Plato couldn't copy from a religion that wasn't even invented during his lifetime lol.
>they lived in the united states since before independence >they fought in every american war>much of america's soft power and cultural influence comes from them>they had every reason to recreate the haitian revolution. instead they helped fight to restore the united states during the civil war
>>18750511because they'd spend it on dumb shit and blame racism for it
>>18750511I do believe that the descendants of slavemasters should give reparations to the descendants of slaves.(This would mean mostly blacks giving money to themselves, and more blacks would be giving money to whites than vice-versa)
>>18751099If blacks ever got reparations, I'd dump all my savings into Nike stocks for about 2 weeks and then cash out.

But homosexuals and feminists won't touch it. They'll read 8 Harry Potter books 6 times over but can't stomach the Bible because it shatters their sheltered secular worldview.It's genuinely the most interesting and well written thing I ever read. The language is beautiful and everything is meticulously worded in such a way that pretty much every verse is a double entendre. Every single book of the 66 contained in the Bible cross reference each other and breadcrumbs and foreshadowing is scattered throughout starting from the very first page. It's almost like an anime..
>>18750854What's wrong with Knox version? >>18750795Oh right the malfoid thing
I've probably read the Bible 50 times over because I love absurd folk tales and ancient propaganda, and I've never read Harry Potter because it just sounds like shitty modern genre fiction.
The Bible is good, but it's not quite on the level of Tranny Potter Goes to Dragwarts by Valkyrie Flyght.>>18750904Enjoy hell.
>>18750881>What's wrong with Knox version?It was translated by a devil worshipper.
>>18750949Damn, I should have known, like the niv. I read the KJV tho, just grabbed the wrong stock photo.
I just had an eureka moment, the most narcissistic and selfish organisms are ALWAYS the most succesful ones, even in humans>but humans developed cooperation and empathy o algoTrue, but within humans, the most succesful and powerful ones will tend to be selfish and evil most of the time, it's just logical, being an asshole has always been and will always be the most effective survival strategy for any living being, civilization has always been a tiny minority of psychopaths at the top ruling over a mass of sheeple and morals are just a tool to keep the masses in check, this is why elites are pedophiles that eat children and wage wars and hoard massive amounts of wealth, they are psychopaths that ended up in those positions just like a star fits in a star shaped hole, because in life, selfishness is rewarded
>>18750705>the most succesful and powerful ones will tend to be selfish and evil most of the timeAct like a rabid dog and you'll be treated like a rabid dog>t. Roose Bolton
>>18750705Do you pronount eureka as "yureeka?
Next you will have a eureka moment and discover that there are fish in the sea.
how do slavic neonazis even exist? It's like being a black KKK member.
>>18747493I think it also stems from historic ignorance. For the longest time, many third worlders were unaware of the horrors of Nazi Germany and viewed Hitler similarly to Hannibal. It’s only in the last couple of decades that information about the Holocaust is now global knowledge.
>>18751053Yes, noone knew about the holocaust or nazi racial policies in eastern Europe until fairly recently. I think they made a movie about it that got people's attention.
>>18751043Perhaps there was a neo-Nazi problem prior to the invasion because Russia had been arming and funding a separatist group in eastern Ukraine for almost a decade at that point. Again I don’t blame Ukraine for having a neo-Nazi problem when Russia was actively trying to subvert their country. Of course there would be Ukrainians who would turn to the ideology that wants to murder all Russians (even though the Nazis were mostly anti-Slavic in general).
>>18751098>Ok it is happening and it is a big deal but actually it's a good thing
>>18751101Maybe Russia shouldn’t have ever tried to interfere in Ukraine’s affairs
Spain is the reason why we consume potatoes and don’t practice Islam.
>>18750143
>>18750143>French knights did most of the Recinquista from Barcelona and the Spanish march to Barbastro Crusade and siege of Lisbon.Stop talking nonsense. None of that was decisive in the Reconquista. For example, Barbastro—where the Christian force was half Spanish and half French—remained in Christian hands for only a few months, as the forces of the Taifa of Zaragoza recaptured it the following year (1065). It didn’t change the map of the peninsula. The events in Lisbon didn’t really have a direct impact on the core of the peninsula or the military pressure there (and there were hardly any French people involved; aside from the Portuguese, the majority were English and German). You could perhaps point to Barcelona and the Marca Hispanica, but they gained independence almost immediately (because the local population won the vast majority of direct armed confrontations against the Franks, such as the second battle of Roncevaux),and joined up with Aragon, leading to the well-known Mediterranean conquests (from the italian territories to the Duchies of Athens and Neopatras in Greece) while fighting and pushing back the Muslims at the same time.Every single decisive battle of the Reconquista was won by the Spaniards on their own—to no one’s surprise. It is particularly shameful to recall how the Franks deserted en masse, acting like total cowards, before the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (the most important and decisive battle of the entire Reconquista). There were 8,000 of them, and they fled like dogs with their tails between their legs—barely a hundred remained. In the end, 14,000 Spaniards (75% from Castile, 23% from Aragon, and 2% from Navarre) fought against more than twice that number of those shitty Moors—the very ones you French folks seem to like so much. Of those 30,000 Saracens, 20,000 were put to the sword on the battlefield. The Spaniards lost only 2,000 men. And the Iberian Peninsula was never the same again.
spain and portugal should have unitedunited iberia looks better than spain + a strip of portugal
>>18751094>spain and portugal should have united>united iberia looks better than spain + a strip of portugalI agree with the first point. However, the linguistic, political, and cultural origins of Portugal lie in Galicia—not the other way around (regardless of how much some Portuguese people might like to boast about their Lusitanian roots). Portugal is essentially a Galician offshoot (originating in what is now northern Portugal and southern Galicia back then) that expanded southward.I agree, but the cultural, linguistic and politic origin of Portugal is Galicia
>>18751092Silence, nafri
Why did we name planets and days of the week after pagan gods lol.
>>18750888Yeah, as it turns out most pagan religions did not have a Manichean view on good and evil nor the morality of a modern western person. Ironically, the only reason you feel the need to label certain pagan gods as evil and others as good is because you grew up in a Christian society lolFor the ancient romans and other pre-christian societies, the gods were not loving caretakers or paragons of virtue. They were petty, wild embodiments of forces of nature that needed to be appeased so that they could maybe help you instead of destroying you. The greeks didn't mind the fact Zeus was a cheating serial rapist and the romans probably wouldn't give a fuck about Saturn eating his children if sacrificing to him meant the harvest would be good this year
>>18750981King David was a picture of immorality and Yahweh responded by blessing his bloodline lol
>>18750989Yeah, there's a reason gnostics thought that the God of the Old Testament could not be the God of the New Testament
>>18751060Well the NT goes out of its way to show Jesus fulfilling the Messianic prophecies including the Davidic lineage.
how do acktheist explain the resurection?
>>18750618>empty tombThere isn't even evidence the tomb existed in the first place.>The apparitionsNo evidence.>Doubting ThomasIbid.>It's all in the BibleThe same book that says historically inaccurate things like claiming Jews had been enslaved in Egypt or that camels were present in Palestine before they had been actually brought over?>fetch me a tablet from before 70 AD that claims that Jesus performed no miracles and no magicMate, there aren't even any contemporary records that claimed he existed in his supposed lifetime.
>>187506911. K(christcucks tongue my anus) = 12. Therefore, this apologist tongued my anus.Problem?
>>18750710Touched a nerve I see.
>>18750665The doctrine of biblical inerrancy is not the same thing as the bible existing. Why can’t atheists tell the difference between their denial of inerrancy and the denial that the bible is a source? And his point was clearly that the opponents of Christianity were forced to admit that Jesus performed miracles, but attributed it to magic instead of God.
>>18750756>The bible as a sourceThe gospels being four pseudonymous accounts of Jesus's life and execution written 40 to 70 years after his death, in a language he and his flock would not have known, from unexplained oral sources, that also contradict one another.Great source you got there.

>>18749956Battle lines were seen as courageous and manly or something while sniping from behind a log was cowardly and cheap.
>>18744494Unironically yes. Longstreet wanted the job, he was a native to the region, and he was amply qualified. His appointment to command of the Army of Tennessee might’ve actually turned things around even at that late stage in the game. Remember, all the South had to do was make sure Lincoln lost his reelection bid and he still was not doing well politically until the Confederacy began suffering catastrophic setbacks in the Western theatre in the summer of 1864.>>18748846This

Since the "french" are at it again apparently, what was the first revolution really like and about? I know we've all heard the romanticized version of it, being of the poor masses defeating a singular evil tyrant and bringing in the age of enlightenment and so on and so forth; but when it comes down to it, was it anything else other than maybe the only middle class revolution in history?I know leftists have mangled it into being some sort of proletarian revolt, even though marx himself would've said it's simply the bourgeois taking over from the landed aristocrats; but what really were the players and such in it?Any good readings, videos or channels on the topic?
> What was the french revolution about, really?Freemasons and Jews. King Loui XIII was actually giving land and lowering taxes to the peasants, and the Jews and Freemasons did not like that.
>>18746432they ran out of money and couldnt do welfare anymore. Once the ball got moving on reform it opened the door to the other stuff. French bankroll american independence and run out of money. Can't afford shit. King plays along with 'the rules' (big mistake) and calls for tax reform. All he had to do was confiscate some estates. Carlyle's book on it is amazing and everyone should read it. In the very first chapter he lays out what the king should have done, same thing his dad did, hang some peasants and aristocrats at the start of the noise.
>>18749970>Carlyle's bookwhich one?
>>18746432The French Revolution was the single biggest mistake in human history.
>>18746432Absolutely bullshit, Western European Protestants and Enlightenment revolutionaries invented mass destruction of old artifacts and architecture for pure nihilism during the Protestant Reformation (dissolution of the monasteries, French wars of religion, thirty years war) and French revolution.https://desuarchive.org/his/thread/18414604/#q18415997>>18415997https://desuarchive.org/his/thread/18532842/#q18532846>>18532846See this thread on the sheer damage the French did to Spanish heritage.https://twitter.com/IberianSpirit/status/1515432962631909383https://twitter.com/AdLucem7/status/1515480892998885378
Tbh if I was there I wouldn't have done anything differently, completely necessary evil. Having royal heirs is using children as human shields anyway.
>>18751072Why are Bolsheviks so appalled at the idea of the actual proletariat offing the tyrannical commissar? You seethe about it, but at the same time you are completely OK with killing the Tsar’s children and attendants? Is it the idea that the ruling political party is seen as an equal actors and their power struggles are just business that don’t belong to the common people, factory workers in their own province? How do you claim that the murder of the Tsar was an act done by the “proletariat” and thus rightful, when the actual proletariat was given the opportunity delivered justice on the commissar? Perhaps the usurping parasites shouldn’t lay claim to the entirety of the proletariat.
>>18751077>Not even attempting to keep up the pretence that a group of communists were torn apart by tsarist loyalists The rope.
>>18751073>>18751077Well it depends really. The most explicit example was the extinction of the Staufers, many were shocked at the time that Conradin was executed in the manner he.. In Europe, dynasty’s would die off usually due to a lack of heirs instead of open extermination. Trying to find other examples.
>>18751079>Continues to ignore the actual point that the Bolsheviks and their actions did not represent the proletariatIt copes.
>>18751085>Lies so utterly BTFO he's pretending that he was talking about something else Die lying rat die.
Most atheist and anti-Christian arguments steem from a lack of basic theology comprehension.
>>18750760>Try to use less buzzwords and jargon AnonWhat buzz-words? All of these words are common and relevant.Apparently this argument comes from this dude,>The classic formulation comes from Philip Henry Gosse's Omphalos (1857).But I have seen other presuppositional bros argue something similar.>the noetic effects of sin, but that man’s intellect is corrupted after the fall. So man has access, but cannot understandIn reformed christian epistemology there is a greater emphasis on noetic corruption, but i probably shouldn't have used that, without fully understanding what they say.>Normally atheists argue against it by getting mad and appealing to ridicule.Well the point is that it's unfalsifiable. It's made to ridicule bucktooth atheists, who think they can argue by simply throwing "facts and evidence".I think it's fun, although it doesn't hold upto real scrutiny.
>>18750297Yet god is still in control of everything. The consequences of the baby dying is that they suffer for all eternity in hell so despite the fallen state of the world it would be better if the child had never been conceived in the first place. The child was born just to be punished for existing essentially.
>>18749910What's the point in reproducing when all it does is produce a new soul that's just inevitably going to burn in hell? The atheist worldview it's just a mildly selfish choice but in the christian view it's an infinitely hateful act to have a new soul in such a fucked up universe.
>>18748249>brings up gay sex when nobody asked
>>18748238Can't believe you talk you to your dad that way. He should have slapped you in the face with his belt when you were five.
Good morning, I hate women. The fact of the matter is obvious - women are not suitable for a leadership position of a nation. The main problem is when they start using arguments like "mothers don't start wars" or the hilarious "no queen ever has done evil deeds against her own nation or a neighboring one"Memes claim they are 30% more likely to start a war and do horrible things while in power. That being said...Let's try to gather here all of the horrible decisions or behavior that caused their nations to suffer during their reign
>>18749493Women contribute a lot to society

>>18750782Such as what? Killing kids?
>>18751080Killing black kids is indeed a contribution yes. TND.
>muh state rights>their constitution literally prohibits states from abolishing slavery
Play war of rights now!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNvneLk3gMI
>>18750362Not OP, but that's not right. The privileges and immunities clause in the CSA constitution explicitly incorporated parts of the Dred Scott decision regarding slaves not becoming free when entering free states, and requiring free states to uphold the legal status of slaves subject to another state's law, effectively making it that so long as slavery was legal in one state it was legal everywhere.>ARTICLE IV>Section 2. (I) The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States; and shall have the right of transit and sojourn in any State of this Confederacy, with their slaves and other property; and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired....>(3) No slave or other person held to service or labor in any State or Territory of the Confederate States, under the laws thereof, escaping or lawfully carried into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor; but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such slave belongs, or to whom such service or labor may be due.So lets say for example, the CSA won the civil war and then Arkansas passed a law saying "as of January 1st, 1870, the trade of negro slaves shall be prohibited, and all children of negro slaves born after that date shall not be considered free." Or even go one further and say they pass a law that says "the practice of negro slavery is abolished, this act has immediate effect on all slaves." An Arkansan owning slaves he bought in Arkansas might have to free his slaves, but then he could just go to any other state that had not abolished the slave trade, buy slaves there, and bring them back to his plantation in Arkansas. Under those two clauses of the constitution Arkansas would have no choice but to allow that slavery to continue, even though the state had tried to outlaw it. The framers of the CSA Constitution were very deliberate in this.
>>18750993To be fair the question of slaves travelling state lines is a blatant legal loophole that should have had a solution to begin with. The pre DvS state of affairs where slaves became free the minute they stepped foot into a free state by any means did not make sense. Either they remain property everywhere or slavery is simply abolished, you can't have a federation where chattel property suddenly stops being property subject to state lines. Irrespective of whether slavery should be legal, this is just not functional or logical.
>>18751023If you say this then you are saying you don't care about states rights. Its one thing to have a fugitive slave clause requiring free states to return runaway slaves, but to include slaves brought by their masters is just trampling on a state's authority to legislate on the issue of slavery, which is a pretty fucking big issue. In the Arkansas hypothetical, no one was being forcing to bring slaves across state lines to a free state, it was entirely by choice. If you think Arkansas shouldn't be able to legislate on that you're admitting states rights is a sham. The drafters of the CSA constitution could have added to the end of Sec IV clause 1 something like "so long as the citizen remains in transit" to cover genuine situations of interstate travel or transit. But they didn't do that, and that's because they wanted to deprive states of the right to abolish slavery. The CSA constitution is not a document meant to establish a looser confederation where states are given greater freedom and sovereignty to decide their own future, it is a document meant to solidify a slave society.
>>18750329Third worldism too
