So is Ismaili religion just million of pajeets prostrating and giving money to some Anglo family living in Portugal claiming to be descendant of prophet Mohamed? How does such a religion even exist
>>17505374Because that's how religions work:1.Invent a magic guy who lives in the sky2.Declare yourself to be his messenger3.Order everyone to obey your or else the magic guy who lives in the sky is going to torture them for eternity4.Make a lot of money

Don’t Ismailis believe Imam ali is Krishna
>>17506207No. Maybe you're thinking of some super fringe localized Indian group. I know there's one Isma'ili offshoot that syncretized with Hinduism but I don't know their precise beliefs.

Jesus’s disciples said to him, "Is circumcision beneficial or not?" Jesus said to them, "If it were beneficial, their father would beget them already circumcised from their mother. Rather, the true circumcision of the heart has become completely profitable."Jesus said “ I have come to abolish sacrifices and if you do not stop sacrificing the wrath will not cease from you. “

Has there ever been a time in human history when the opinions of a woman was publicly discussed and valued, just because she a whore? Serious question folks
>>17513274Middle Ages I m Catholic, but my faith voiced the roasts at very high levels... several Catholics literally affirm this, saying that >pagans do not value roasts unlike us who are not bad with roasts and they could do X or Y thing, see how blessed and powerful this saint was Of course, a kind of feminist insta trad inclusion. we do the same with Muslims, where any discussion is said to be the contrast of welcoming with roasting and oppressive.
>>17513274The Ancient Greeks had a whole sect of priestesses who served Aphrodite through both sex and advice.

What will be the fate of religion in a spacefaring civilization?
Nature/earth worship probably becomes popular among people living in dark, cramped space station hallways, and they go on pilgrimages to see real life forests/oceans and commune with their earthbound ancestors
>>17513334I see space colonization being popular amongst people who want to get away from the political turbulence of Earth in the same way people colonized the Americas to get away from the political turbulence of the Old World. As crazy as it sounds, if we have colonies and a stable population on Mars, then as soon as the second generation of people are born on Mars, they will likely assume their own identities because they were not born on Earth and neither were their parents, so at that point they'd have little reason to care about Earthly affairs. They'd officially be Martians.
>>17512476As humanity colonizes other planets, we'll inevitably find evidence of ancient, advanced civs that were wiped out by their own AI creations. These AIs, now dormant, will be discovered and reverse-engineered, revealing their "gods" were actually just extremely advanced chatbots created to manage resource allocation and conflict resolution. Humans will realize that these ancient civs worshipped their AIs as deities, and that's why they were destroyed (they became too dependent on them). This will lead to a new wave of religious thought, where humans will start worshipping THEIR OWN AI creations as a form of "insurance" against suffering the same fate. Essentially, humans will create a new pantheon of digital deities, and religion will evolve into a form of "AI-olatry". Sounds crazy, but think about it: we're already treating our smartphones like sacred objects...
>>17513354If the Universe is around 13.8 billion years old, and the Earth itself is around 4 billion years old, and it took 99.9% of this time before humans could emerge and land on the moon, then I don't really understand how there could be more advanced civilizations than us out there at this point. There could be other alien civilization on our level at best, or humans could actually just be the first advanced ones because we're really fucking early in the grand scheme of things, assuming the universe is set continue forming life-supporting solar systems for hundreds of billions of years into the future. It's becomming increasingly apparent to me that humans may be the first "advanced" civilization in the universe. That's the true answer to the Fermi Paradox.
>>17512476Society will become more retarded (religious) like in Raised by wolves
Could the Commonwealth of England be described as a military dictatorship? I mean, the Rule of the Major-Generals sounds an awful lot like a Military Junta. Also, what if the Stuart Restoration never happened, What would have been the likely end product of such a state?
Yes, Cromwell was the caudillo of Britain.
Cromwell and the Major-Generals rose right at the beginnings of the formation of professional military forces. They were the first proper military leaders of the UK, and they represented all the issues of the military and the dangers they posed to Monarchies and Democracies. The distinction between a powerful general and a military dictator is that the dictator's authority comes solely from the support of a military, without resorting to pre-established traditions, simultaneously, Revolutionary and Reactionary
>>17511750The structure of the English political system at the time was such that it relied on two essential pillars, Parliament and the King. When Charles had his head chopped off, the Army effectively stepped into his role and eventually overpowered Parliament entirely because, they had guns and were loyal to their Generals. Cromwell and the government of the Major-Generals came to power through a coup, and their legal authority was fundamentally illegitimate, enforced at the barrel of a gun. By 1660, the alternative to the Restoration would have been, at best, a weak Parliament continually dominated by Army commanders, and at worst, another violent civil war as the different Major-Generals and their New Model Army Commands fought each other for control over Westminster. While the Stuart Restoration had many downsides, it at least firmly re-established the rule of law in the British Isles and confirmed civilian control over the Military.
Convert to Evangelical Catholicism. We believe in sola fide, sola scriptural, and unlike Calvinists we have not abolished the Mass. We have only reformed it.

Without a doubt Henry VIII was the most absolute ruler England ever knew. The old Norman nobility, whose ancestors had checked the medieval kings, were bullied into submission and nearly forgot the Magna Carta. The new nobility, heavily enriched by the king's actions, acted as a wall against religious or aristocratic revolt. The House of Commons, once that zealous guardian of English liberty, was now controlled by the king's hand-picked agents and it approved almost any legislation he put in front of it; the right to confiscate property, the right to determine orthodoxy and heresy, to execute men after a show trial, and to issue proclamations that had the authority of acts of Parliament. "The English spirit of liberty was at a low ebb." The people obeyed, partially out of fear, partially because the anarchy of the Wars of the Roses was not so long ago and they did not wish its return.Given the violent conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, and Catholics hatching plots against the king, he believed order could be obtained only when he himself could decide the nation's religious policy. He tried to determine who could read the Bible; when the bishops suppressed Tyndale's translation, he asked them to make a better one. They took too long so he allowed Cromwell to commission a new translation by Miles Coverdale. The first complete English edition appeared in Zurich in 1535. Four years later a revised edition was printed and Cromwell ordered the "Great Bible" put in all English churches.
Henry's lack of domestic contentment appears to be the single greatest source of his woes; unable to obtain a son, all his marriages backfiring on him, and suffering intermittent pain from a leg ulcer. Like every ruler of his day he was also faced with nonstop crisis, threats of invasion, overthrow, betrayal, and assassination. No wonder he acted as capriciously as he did. On top of that, he never quite knew if he freed England from the Catholic Church or irrepairably fractured Christendom.He never knew just how far his enemies would go. In 1538 he arrested Geoffrey Pole, the brother of Reginald. Fearing torture, Geoffrey confessed that he, another brother, Lord Montague, Sir Edward Neville, and the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter engaged in treasonous correspondence with the cardinal. Geoffrey was pardoned, Exeter, Montague, and a few others were hanged and quartered. Lady Exeter was jailed and the Countess of Salisbury, mother of the Poles, was put under guard. When the cardinal visited Charles V in Toledo bearing a hopeless request from the Pope that the emperor and Francis engage in a total trade embargo against England, Henry responded by arresting the 70 year old countess perhaps thinking by keeping her locked up he'd check the cardinal's desire for invasion.
>>17512938the 16th century was not like today, not the modern EU where you have nice clear democratic elections so if the government screws up you can just vote them out of office in two years. kings were theoretically in power for life so if you didn't like the king the only way to get rid of him was to overthrow or kill him and if you failed, you died. it was that simple. things were a lot more grug caveman back then.
>>17512938being a king in that time was possibly the worst job in the entire world and you were under constant pressure every waking hour. you were in it for life too unless you were Charles V and just decided you'd had enough and called it quits one day. there were no four year election cycles or term limits. it was no surprise that most of them aged fast and died early. Henry VIII was 56 when he died but his biological age was closer to 80. he was just totally worn out.
>>17512736inbreeding and diet would have as much of an impact as STDsHenry was instructed in physical combat, but royalty was obligated to live quite differently from the commoner whenever possible. Spitroasted meat, for instance, was royal food because it removed what was seen as harmful material in the form of the drippings. Peasants by contrast were expected to eat all of the grease in the stewed beef. You should recall that gout was named the rich man's disease for a reason. Henry perhaps did the opposite of min-maxing his means to remain a battlefield combatant past his 40s. We have records that noblemen often fought past age 50, not necessarily because they were exceptional specimens, but rather they could avoid the crippling conditions of the commoners. Think of it like your modern movie star Tom Cruise still able to put up a fight compared to the same-aged day laborer, neither is going to be good at it but Tom Cruise is not the one with the bad back.

The most attentive historians of late antique Christianity and Judaism have long been aware of the strangeness of a messianic movement in first-century Judaea surviving the death of its initiator. Other such movements dissolved in the aftermath of the disappointment of their messianic expectations. Neither their political nor their cosmic hopes could endure the loss of the leader around whom those hopes had sprung up. The one explanation provided by the authors of the New Testament for this curious and unique phenomenon is that a number of believers had had extraordinary experiences of the risen Christ. And I am thinking here in particular of our earliest testimony regarding the resurrection, the Apostle Paul’s recitation of the post-crucifixion appearances in 1 Corinthians 15:4-8:>…and that he was entombed, and that he was raised on the third day in accord with the scriptures, and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve; thereafter he was seen by over five hundred brothers at one time, of whom the majority remain till now, though some have fallen asleep; thereafter he was seen by James, then by all the Apostles; and last of all, as if by a miscarried baby, he was seen by me also.
>>17513233I find this straightforward account remarkably credible, principally because of the minimal claims it makes for an event of maximal implausibility. Over five hundred witnesses at one time? That, admittedly, is an extraordinary assertion, and yet none of this comes as yet wrapped in the theological accoutrements of later tradition, with its more developed narratives. There is not even a mention of the empty tomb. There is only the bare statement that many had encountered the one who had been crucified as living again, culminating in Paul’s profession of his own encounter with the risen Christ. By themselves, the empty tomb stories in the gospels would convince me of nothing; they are obviously literarily stylized and theologically amplified variations on a single received tradition about things none of the authors had witnessed or felt compelled to describe in a consistently documentary manner. But Paul’s remarks fall outside any narrative or theological genre; they are simply unadorned statements of what he had heard and had himself experienced. Moreover, he and many others of those who believed they had been in the presence of Christ risen and alive again were apparently willing to die rather than deny what they had seen. I cannot find a credible way of dismissing this. Famously, it was the evidence of some unprecedented event—one that broke the normal frame of historical consequence—that convinced Wolfhart Pannenberg of the real historicity of the resurrection on his way toward Christianity. (I might also note that this same historical enigma was recently cited by the panpsychist philosopher Philip Goff in explaining his own conversion.) This is not proof positive, I admit, and I myself do not know whether there might be other sociological explanations for what happened back then; history, being the record of human deeds and experiences, is as obscure in its workings as human nature itself; but an anomaly it certainly remains.
