I noticed a lot of Christians make this type of Youtube content.>be Christian>get a camera>talk about the bibleIts always about something gloomy, i don't see other faiths doing this, what gives? what's happening to Christians? These videos get thousands of views
>>18287524God is on MY side thoughbeit
>>18287524apocalyptic cult doing apocalyptic cult things, not big surprise
>>18287524>state an extremely obvious and elementary concept in The Bible to anyone who is even remotely religious.>sneer about it with something extremely smug and demeaning.as a believer, I find it hard to believe that God would condone of this behavior. It's gross and borderline narcissistic. It's not for us to speak for God.
>>18287586All Abrahamic religions stem from the narcissism and self importance of the Jews. It’s an essential feature of the faith to attract people who feel that they are special.
God is on my side because... he is just is, okay libtard?
They believe they are eating literal human flesh and drinking literal human blood.
>About the same time Thrasamund persecuted the Christians, and by torture and different sorts of death tried to force all Spain to consent to the perfidy of the Arian sect. And it so happened that a certain maiden bound by religious vows was brought to trial. She was very rich and of the senatorial nobility according to the ranking of the world, and what is nobler than all this, strong in the. catholic faith and a blameless servant of Almighty God. And when she was brought before the eyes of the king he first began to coax her with kind words to be baptized again. And when she repelled his venomous shaft by the armor of the faith, the king commanded that wealth be taken from her who already in her heart possessed the kingdom of paradise, and later that she should be tortured without hope of this life. Why make a long story? After long examinations, after losing the treasure of earthly riches, when she could not be forced to attack the blessed Trinity she was led against her will to be re-baptized. And when she was being forcibly immersed in that filthy bath and was crying loudly; “I believe that the Father and the holy Spirit are of one substance with the Son,” when she said this she stained the water with a worthy ointment [47] that is, she defiled it with excrement. Then she was taken to the examination according to the law, and after the needle, flame and claw, she was beheaded for Christ the lord. After this the Vandals crossed the sea, the Alemanni following as far as Tangier, and were dispersed throughout all Africa and Mauretania.(Royal frankish annals)
Apparently, immigration and slavery just never existed in the past or couldn't change anyone ever, even though you can see today that's not true, American Blacks are universally 20% White.Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Scythians, Persians, Carthaginians, Gauls, Iberians, they are literally all completely extinct, at best changed dramatically, they have no descendants, or their descendants are mixed, this is fairly obvious considering only 15% at MOST genuinely resemble the ancient populations. Also, dare I say that lighter traits are recessive?

Evening, /his/. I'm the anon who created pic related. Now, this is hard, but I'm just going to have to eat crow. I mean, when you're wrong, you're wrong. I cited a fastest possible fixation rate of 50 generations per fixation. Sadly, it would appear I was wrong by an order of magnitude. Quote:>JBS Haldane made a relevant hypothetical calculation. He assumed a selection pressure in favour of a new mutation so weak as to seem trivial: for every 1,000 individuals with the mutation who survive, 999 individuals without the mutation will survive. That selection pressure is much too weak to be detected by scientists working in the field. Given Haldane’s assumption, how long will it take for such a new mutation to spread through half the population? His answer was a mere 11,739 generations if the gene is dominant, 321,444 generations if it is recessive. In the case of many animals, that number of generations is an eye-blink by geological standards.>Richard Dawkins, The Genetic Book of the Dead (2024)An eye-blink indeed. I stand corrected. The actual minimal time since we split from chimps is actually 4,108,650,000,000 years. That's about 4 trillion years more than my amateur research indicated.Oops!
>>18285948Are you fucking retarded?I feel silly asking that because it's so obvious you're not trying to engage in any sort of research in good faith. You're just grabbing random shit you read on the internet and pasting it together to come to the conclusion you want. As far as doing that goes, I don't know what to tell you because I'm not some sort of specialist in being a dumb fuck. When it comes to "split from chimps", that's not a thing. You think, despite finding all of the hominid species that lived before and alongside homo sapien, humans just came out of thin air as we are? What about the clear changes in homo sapien anatomy in the last 100k years? So after God (which I do believe in) just snapped his fingers and created us as we are, why have we changed since then? Will we continue changing? How much? Surely you would consider that evolving, right? So for some reason God just couldn't have created homo sapien through the convoluted process of evolution, so he snapped his fingers and made us as we are. But now we're evolving? What sense does that make? Just follow the evidence son. The first sip out of the cup of scientific studies will make you an atheist. But God is waiting for you at the bottom of the glass. You need to accept the simple truth that just because your little brain can't possibly fathom it, doesn't mean God didn't do it. God created all of this and he did it in ways we'll probably never fully understand. Yet, he put in us the spark of curiosity and the desire to learn about and understand this universe. He created natural laws to help us measure and gauge things accurately. I'm so blessed it's absurd. I'm about to get on my knees and thank God for everything he's done for me. I don't deserve any of it. Thank you
>>18285948Natural selection has no effect on evolution I see. Please go back to your antiracist protests because that's where you'll find likeminded people, seeing that you're already following the evolutionary logic of Gould anyway.
>>18287046>>18287062See >>18285973It's really astonishing the world you "people" live in. I'm seriously starting to question the humanity of "people" below 125 IQ. If I had brain damage and were left in such a state - Like if I had 115 IQ or something - I'd seriously contemplate suicide at that point. Like, if I had to be like you rodents... What a chilling thought.
>>18287046>What about the clear changes in homo sapien anatomy in the last 100k years?That's being generous, we can see that the average person looked notably different as recently as 10,000 years ago.
>>18287604Mutation isn't the driver of evolution. I know they told you that when they were telling you about evil racists being wrong and how jesus loves niggers, but they taught you wrong as a joke. Stop being nigger lover and join the racist evolutionary league.
Danielle Simpson was the 445th person executed by Texas since 1976. Simpson along with his brother, wife, and her cousin abducted and murdered an elderly Anderson County woman during a robbery in 2000. He was born in Palestine on October 26, 1979 to an African-American family. Simpson reportedly suffered head injuries at least twice in his childhood and often skipped school. There was conflicting testimony from relatives over whether he'd suffered seizures. His sister was employed as a Texas correctional officer and couldn't remember much positive about him outside that he attended church as a child. Simpson had to repeat kindergarten and the 3rd grade, was in special ed classes, and "very slow and learning disabled." He had repeated headaches and his mother often could not drive him to school due to her job schedule and he dropped out of school in the 9th grade, though he somehow achieved passing grades when he was in class. She kicked him out of the house a year before the murder after he molested his stepsister.Simpson was accused of several burglaries and was also a member of the Southside Crips gang. A month pror to the murder, he and two friends broke into a house, spray painted the walls, and wrote gang slogans, obscene words, and the phrase "White people should die." He punched his 16 year old wife Jennifer in the face at least once and argued with his sister when she caught him fondling his 9 year old cousin. Simpson stormed outside in a huff and smashed the windows of her car with a brick. He shot at an ex-girlfriend with a sawed-off shotgun and punched a teenage girl in the head. Simpson was charged with indecent acts with a minor for the above molestation of his cousin, pled guilty, and got ten years of probation and 600 hours of community service.

Who truly did 9/11? Al-Qaeda? The Saudis? Inside job by Bush administration to justify war in the middle east? The 9/11 Commissions report seems to blame Al-Qaeda but there are sections of the report that are redacted to this day - people theorize this discusses Saudi royal family assisting in the attack but no one can say for sure...WHO is truly responsible for this?
>>18284423Why the fuck would the World Health Organisation do 9/11?
>>18285788We get it, anon. But why can we what seems to be explosives going off? I'm open to any possible explanation and I agree the idea put forth by >>18285733 does make sense and is plausible, but the webm paints a different picture.
>>18284423The hijackers were responsible for the act itself. The leadership of AQ was the initiator and orchestrator of the plot. They had co-conspirators who willingly aided and abetted AQ and the plot who were also from Saudi Arabia, since that's where the extremist ideology of AQ originated from in the first place.More nebulous are the allegations that there was also a conspiracy to allow the attacks to happen (a fairly run of the mill allegation when it comes to these kind of things) by those who were in the know, who allegedly did nothing to stop it – or even amplified the attacks by planting additional explosives in the buildings, which would imply they had foreknowledge of the fact these buildings would be targeted and nefariously rigged these explosives in advance.The more serious charge is that they deliberately wanted the towers to fall and even aided the plot, using pre-rigged explosives to amplify the destruction in the aftermath of the crashes. This is supported by circumstantial evidence, such as the fact that there did exist a nefarious geopolitical goal at the time (the Israeli agenda and/or the neocon agenda) to create an atrocity that could be used to rally invasions that they believed they would be able to direct toward targets of their choosing. There is also the heavy saturation of high-level roles in the U.S. government of people who held these views and were dual citizens with Israel in some cases. For example Michael Chertoff did not represent the average cross-section of American society. He was from the pro-zionist, pro-neocon elite of the time. The thinking is that people like him might have been complicit in such activity.Such an atrocity as 9/11 was perceived by some as being potentially beneficial to the geopolitics of Israel, and the fact that many (American) lives would be lost would have been "a necessary sacrifice" in their eyes, even if those lives could have been saved if the whole incident were prevented.
If 9/11 was an inside job it wasn't to justify invasion of the middle east, because they could have gotten a war in the middle east for way, way less than the cost of 2000 American lives plus whatever it would've cost to carry out this conspiracy. If it was an inside job it would be to pass legislation like the Patriot Act which greatly expanded the powers of the federal government in the name of national security. Before 9/11, any such legislation would have encountered stiff resistance from civil rights advocates and would have been deeply unpopular with the public. But coming after the worst terrorist attack in America history, which succeeded largely due to lax security measures at airports and in NORAD response, and which was pinned on foreign adversaries who infiltrated American society? It was a too-convenient confluence of factors that perfectly illustrated the necessity of drastic overhauls to national security. It could still have been coincidence, but the way the Patriot Act has become the foundation of the modern American surveillance state makes it feel like they had been planning on the Patriot Act all along.

is God reality or a divine entity beyond reality ? Because if God is both then there's little to do with a moral life. As the universe is its own nature grounded by us "God". Which disqualifies monotheism.
God cannot be both in a system which includes morality. Because if it did we would not need the guidance of a divine but merely nature as God.
I'd rather believe in nature than a benevolent god that can change its mind !
>>18287859>>18287863>>18287867That’s my point. Morality conforms to subjective egoistic values and natural law rather than the other way around.
There is evidence of nature as in our own internal morals but not of a diety beyond which binds us to morals through faith.
>>18287872in that case, I seize to see the point of even calling nature god.
Is there any other monarchy in the world claiming descent from a literal God?
>>18287378every single saxon dynasty, every other nordic one also claimed to be descended from some deity
>>18287392I meant in the present.Apparently the Japanese Emperor also spoke from behind a veil and nobody had heard his voice until the radio address where he announced the surrender of Japan in WWII. It's like something out of Ancient Egypt but in the modern era.

The collapse of Western Rome was basically 80% Gaiseric, 20% everything else... Yet he's completely forgotten today, why?
>>18287467>After rising to power among the Vandals in Baetica, Hispania (Spain). Gaiseric moved his people to North Africa around 428/429 AD, eventually seizing Carthage in 439. His vision was to transform Carthage into a new center reminiscent of Rome, establishing a prosperous capital for the Vandal kingdom and integrating Roman administrative practices. He presided over a mixed population of Vandals, Alans, Goths, Barbers and Punic-Romans, maintaining Latin cultural influence and even utilizing Latin officials within his administration.
>>18287487>Gaiseric concluded a peace with Emperor Valentinian III in 435 AD, which included recognition of his territorial control, the payment of tribute to Rome, and the sending of his son Huneric as a hostage to Rome. This treaty also granted him Roman political designations, including Rex, patricius, and later recognition as a senator in Roman contexts, demonstrating how he adopted Roman titles to augment his legitimacy.
>>18287488>The assassination of Valentinian III by Petronius Maximus, who usurped the imperial throne and married both Eudoxia and her daughter — who had been promised to Gaiseric’s son — served as a casus belli for Gaiseric. In retaliation, Gaiseric led a Vandal fleet to Rome and conducted a systematic "sack" in 455 AD, seizing wealth, hostages, and key political figures, but largely sparing the city's population from massacres at the request of Pope Leo I. The "sack" was partly motivated by vengeance for the broken imperial promises and the murder of his son-in-law’s betrothed, connecting personal and political motives.Gaiseric was a Latinized Roman-Germanic ambition rulers who employed Roman titles, culture, and strategy to consolidate his kingdom, while using both personal and political motives to justify his campaigns. Brilliant genius man of the post-antiquity.
>>18287467>Historical accounts suggest that he valued the Latin form of his nameSuch as?>aligning himself with Roman tradition and authorityHe did not do this at all>and integrating Roman administrative practicesHe didn't do this at all. When Justinian reconquered Africa there was a near total lack of old administration.>Gaiseric concluded a peace with Emperor Valentinian III in 435 ADWhich he broke in months.

>If you put a bunch of civilians into a military vehicle and blow it up, it's not a war crime, since these civilians were inside a legal target.>But if you shoot civilian workers at an arms factory or a military base, it's a war crime, since you were targeting noncombatants.Make it make sense!

It's a concept from a time before the reality of total war set in that was kept because it could've been used by victors to bash the defeated.
If everyone who isn't Christian goes to hell, most people are predestined to hell. It's just logic. God must hate China and India most because they have the least Christians. He must hate Saudi Arabia too. God must love Mexico and the USA for having more Christians. It's solid logic. If God predestined everything He predestined India being Hindu and Saudi Arabia being Muslim
>>18287636Honest Christians do no deny this.
>>18287669Free will ones do which are most. They think most kids in India growing up Hindu would realistically choose Christianity. Nope
>>18287636OP is predestined to Hell
