You say that Levantines or Nafris for instance are Arabs because "they have Arab culture and language". If this is the only criteria that matters then why can't Mexicans be considered as part of the European world? They have a European language and the Spanish European culture. They blast Spanish music from their cars the same way a Syrian blasts Arab music. So what's the difference?Why would a Spaniard see a Mexican as a foreign alien if a Saudi does not see a Moroccan as a foreign alien?

They are written with correct diction, capitalisation and are always asking rhetorical "gotcha" questions to try to own whites and pretend muslims treat each other all the same or that shias are hypocrites or whatever.He currently has over four threads in the catalog.
well spics are considered latinx and hispanic despite not being white. same principle. arabs would never claim to be "arabian" (hejazi, nejdi) unless making an ancestral claim similar to latinx whites claiming to be spanish
>>18555704>Did the Arabs during the Caliphate have a caste system similar to the Spanish empire in their American colonies?Yes, they did have one of sorts. Tribes that had converted earlier to Islam during Muhammad's time were considered superior than those who had only been converted recently under the sword, which was later replicated by Indian Muslims as to co-opt the caste system favor of upper caste converts.
>>18555686Because to outside groups, Arabs, Levants etc. are indistinguishable. Whilst the difference between Spain and Spanish and South America and South Americans is night and day, a few majority white areas not withstanding. Genetically they're much more distinct too.

Joshua Chamberlain and Little Round Top get all the hype but George “Pappy” Greene and Culp’s Hill played just as big a role on the other Union flank. He was one of the oldest generals on either side and had stepped away from the regular army to build railroads. Maybe that eye for engineering led him to have his men dig in, and they held off Confederate assaults by superior numbers.

>>18552405>The Franco-Russian alliance, or the Dual Entente as it came to be called, divided Europe into two armed camps in the decade before 1914. For ten years before 1914, it tended to stabilize rather than endanger the tranquillity of the Continent. France felt secure against Germany, and Russia believed that it had obtained greater assurance than before. Both countries saw the alliance as a means of countering the challenge given by British imperial policy outside Europe, and there were actually occasions in 1894 and 1895 when the Franco-Russian alliance made common cause with Germany against Great Britain.Holy moly, Bongs would get raped.

>>18555594>You don't leave so much aware of how capitalism pushed gender equality forward an astonishing amountthat sounds like a feminist discourse I would listen to! and gender studies is absolutely the discipline for addressing such serious topics. my uni destroyed the faculty down to two people from twenty. the sociology dept was also cut down to single digits. that limits the scope of the subjects, and it's criminal vandalism. universities are degree factories now and all of these subjects while consciousness expanding, are vanishing.>I will always object to [gender studies] because we should have much more methodological and rigorous disciplines addressing such serious topicsother subjects do not discuss these topics at all, some of them briefly gloss over it. these are qualitative topics anon, you're not doing a double blind randomised clinical trial on why housewives were depressed drunks post war. all academia is rigorous discipline and you sound a bit judgemental of the way a subject is run rather than the content which is strong.
>>18555622>gender studies is absolutely the discipline for addressing such serious topicsI love how you phrased that. Yes. It's something gender studies should be addressing.>other subjects do not discuss these topics at allSure they are. Postmodern philosophy basically trademarked deconstruction and then licensed it to marxist sociology. That's the source of the most riveting social commentaries that gender studies are trying to follow up on. And there are objections to be made against pomo and sociological/neomarxist deconstructionism too, but for what it's worth, they are much more thorough than your average gender studies publication. If I wanted something digestable, captivating and surface-level enough to post on instagram, I'd listen to a good podcast. The expectations I have from academia are much higher. More than half of the philosophy books I read meet these standards and I rarely came across a gender studies publication that did.
>>18555634that is an interesting perspective and I'd take reccomendations of podcasts. I had to read masculinities by raewyn connell in gender studies and that was valuable as a man but I did also get some of that in sociology so I accept there are multiple paths to the same knowledge. I think we all need solidarity to be honest because there are business majors who are basically sociopaths compared to us in the humanities and social sciences. peace be with you anon

Previous thread: >>18541019The last thread was too interesting to let die. If anyone was there, let's continue the discussion. I was not OP of that thread, but I contend his assessment was essentially correct: belief in an immortal soul that goes to a realm of conscious joy after death looks to be something either imported or innovated sometime in the intertestamental period since there's hardly a trace, and arguably explicit contradiction, of such a notion in the canon Hebrew scriptures.
>>18553843Except Jesus says Lazarus is straight chilling with Abraham, while the rich man is parched and suffering flame.Like, say "it's just a parable" all you want.Jesus used the parable of the workers of the vineyard to refer to something which actually happened, it allegorically points to reality.You're simply not applying his logic consistently.
>>18551731>Did you forget the part where Jesus said the end of the worldHere's something extremely important to keep in mind: it doesn't say the end of the world. It says the end of the age. The end of that age, and the beginning of the Messianic era. It never says the end of the world.>would come once the gospel was preached to *every* nation?There's a difference between all and what we would write here as *ALL* or *EVERY*. Your asterisks effectively make it a different word that specifies "100%, no exceptions". The Bible's equivalent of your asterisks would generally be something like "every between the east and west" or "every under heaven" or a similar qualifier. You can look at the word Mark 3:10 uses for "all" here at https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g3956/kjv/tr/0-1/ and see it isn't functioning as "*all*" with asterisk qualifiers would. Like in Matthew 2:3 does it mean *all* Jerusalem was troubled, even the babies who didn't understand anything about the Wise Men? Or most especially Mark 4:34 "when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples". Obviously this can't mean *all*. He expounded the life history of the 144,261,195th slug that was ever born to them? P:So taking in the normal sense, this was done by 70 AD. You had Christians from Ethiopia to India by then.

>>18552849That's about the resurrection, as it explicitly says. "Second coming" is a misnomer: Jesus has come many times. He came to Abraham and had a meal, he came to Jacob and wrestled. And, following his earthly ministry, he was to come multiple times in the future as well. One was with the angels to usher in the Messianic era and this, as a matter of solid verifiable history, happened literally, an actual army of angels surrounded Jerusalem prior to its 70 AD destruction and this is part of what got the Christians to escape to safety: https://tektonticker.blogspot.com/2022/05/today-i-have-special-guest-piece-by.htmlThe resurrection will be another coming. He'll probably also come when the Temple is rebuilt. He comes many times both in the past and in the future.
Jesus didn't rise and he's never coming back. It's time for you anons to grow up and stop the fairy tale nonsense.

Where to begin? Spartan women married later, had children later, and men could have more children with concubines to avoid arguments with their wives. Women were even freed from the most basic domestic tasks, could participate in sporting activities, and were celebrated like men, in addition to having certain political rights and property.

Does Big Bang prove creation ex nihilo, or does it merely suggest it?

Truth nuke: The Deuteronomist is the sole person(s) responsible for most of the characteristics that make up Judaism (as well as the humanitarian aspect of Christianity). He really did most of the legwork compared to the other sources.

They led a solely reactionary, decentralized alliance against the growing power of Athens. It began collapsing the second after their objectives were achieved.Meanwhile had Athens won, we very likely could've seen the Delian League develop into an Athenian Empire able to defeat Persia early and dominate the Mediterranean, maybe even preventing the rise of Rome.
>>18555738Philip unified (almost all of) Greece less than a century after Athens' defeat though. And Athens deserved to lose. I think a better assessment would be that Sparta and Athens fighting such a bitter war weakened Greece severely, where otherwise they had the world at their fingerprints.
>>18555738Greek civilization would've thrived under Persia. Big mistake Gayreeks
>>18555774Macedonia is something else, they profited off the demise of classical Greece to conquer and insert themselves in as its master. They paved the way for Rome in that sense.

>>18555546Jesus did not die on the cross. He faked his death.Thats way more bad ass.He didn't "Walk on water" he "Tred water" basically doggy paddled in a storm to his bros because he knew they needed him.
>>18555607Notice how he is pierced in the stomach, not the liver. A man as strong as Christ could endure the pain and close the wound. Especially as crucifixion actually puts your body under tension which would have closed the wound through muscle action, and it would be non lethal if the arteries were not hit. He was only up there for 3 days. 3. It takes 7 to kill you on the cross. They wanted to keep you alive as long as possible. They would give him garum not for mercy, but to extend his suffering.He was interred inside a tomb. If he was faking his death or simply so close to it, nobody would be able to tell. His informed followers could easily tend to his wounds. Why could Mary Magdalin not touch his hands? Because his wounds could be infected. He said "I need to heal up" in a really poetic way and she honestly believes he's a ghost or spirit.How does a man roll a large stone that requires multiple strong men? With a lever action. A simple pole under the round stone and it would roll.
>>18555607>>18555618Jesus Christ died on the cross, for a full three full days and a full three nights, he went to hell and God took him out and he then resurrected into the same dead body and then ascended into heaven. You can’t change what I believe, nor the truth. Your traditions can’t be changed either, or the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church which are all based on lies. You don’t know how all the apostles really died. You just spread lies and called it tradition. But I do t have to change your opinion. I stand in the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord, while you run scared of his sign God gave. Literally his dead body and shed blood on the cross. What are you doing with his body and blood that you don’t want, btw? Do you want it or not? Being crucified like a murderer which many were crucified, but Jesus Christ alone was without sin and God’s only Son. Which you proved you know nothing about - clearly numbed to the fact that I am a saved Christian willingly at six years old, who read the KJV Bible myself front to back. A common loser scum who has never read the Bible nor doesn’t understand its symbolism and thinks traditional lies doesn’t expose his lack of understanding spiritual things will succeed. “He was just really good at what he did, he managed to do it because of how tough he was and tricked you by not really dying.” No.
