Why is god like this

>>24836131It's the other way around, the devil can hide and fester inside a full head of hair. A gloriously shining dome will repel him with the sharp glare of God.
>>24836709Hmmm, this must be why monks were tonsured.
>>24836666>At best the OT is the religious understanding of Israelites held captive by an evil spirit.So get rid of it. Strange how little this has even been considered in the history of your religion if we‘re to believe your take before the centuries of christoids who treat it as the 80% of biblical canon it seems to be.
>>24836739>So get rid of it.For my own personal practice, I have.>believe your take before the centuries of christoids who treat it as the 80% of biblical canon it seems to be.For those who have ears, let them hear. It's not my fault that for generations Christian theologians were so myopic to lose sight of what was right in front of them. The Apostles didn't comprehend the Incarnation and they were right there. If you read the New Testament, what I am saying is proven true. The "centuries of Christoids" were deluded and too caught up in Judaizing mind games and locked in to a purity spiral. There were many Christians who professed what I am saying today, but they were silenced, sidelined, and sometimes even killed for it.
The jews won. They are in control of the Pikes Peak batholith and the multi-trillion-dollar granite tunnel system — a highly symbolic 40 miles west of Denver, Colorado in the Front Range. But they are in control of much more than the end-time survival apparatus. They control not only the military and government of the United States of America but through the power of major corporations and the corruptibility of businessmen and government officials, fiat currency manipulation by the WiΩards of Fiat Currency at the Federal Reserve System, a small army of propagandists and "hackers" (this is a technically incorrect use of the term) who are fighting to maintain control of the Frankenstein monster they created called the Internet (in a war I fear they are going to lose), and even the Republican form of government they created which inevitably—and I would argue by design—fosters centralized control and assures only a handful of "elected" officials must be compromised to control an entire country, they control the entire Western world.
>>24836730i think its much much more than that . sure jews are a part of it . but you should really try to dig in the rabbit hole , watch ''my lunch break'' from youtube . get into it . but im pretty sure at the end of the rabbit hole there s Jesus Christ saying ''told u not to search and just believe'' since he s the truth 100% . but still getting to the bottom is imposibile since our history has been denied to us .
Now that we've all had time to read it, what do we think of it?
>>24832623Some say that it was the natural end result of a minority bourgeoisie developing, so ironically, these minorities rebelled because they were treated too well.It was also something that kinda blew up in Austria's face since they often liked to treat the non-hungarian ethnic minorities as a balance against the hungarians, so whenever they got too uppity, like in 1848, the austrian crown promised everything under the stars to these minorities in return for their service to the crown. Then obviously forgot to pay their end of the bargain afterwards. I think Marx and Engels even dunks on them for falling for this both before and during 1848.In any case, the Ausgleich was incredibly unpopular in ethnic hungarian territories, because ethnic hungarians did not feel advantaged by it in any major way. The only real winners of Austria-Hungary were the mercantile elements, the jewish and the german bourgeoisie and financial elite. Everyone else who was not a member or a hanger on of these groups believed that Austria-Hungary could not fall soon enough and were glad to see its demise.What westerners often get wrong is that it wasn't that nationalism came out of nowhere and tore the habsburg monarchy apart for no reason, but that the habsburg monarchy did not have any sort of political or cultural force that could hold it together for long. It was also ultimately not destroyed by nationalism but by the entente after WW1, so it's really convenient for westoids to blame it all on nationalism when it was them who thought the monarchy outlived its geopolitical usefulness as a counterweight to Germany or Russia and would be far more efficient as the Little Entente.

I'm never in the mood to read or write anymore. Am I fucked? Is it over for me?
>>24836122Read something that you'll enjoy instead of forcing yourself to read what's regarded as great. Who cares about Camus if it bores you ? Read Asimov or Pratchett. Read something that's fun instead of sad and serious. Live vicariously through the adventure of a hero and enjoy littérature instead of trying to wreck your brain until it learns something.
>>24836345>Live vicariously through the adventure of a hero and enjoy littérature instead of trying to wreck your brain until it learns something.cont.I'm convinced that this is what keeps so many people from reading : they don't read things that they personally enjoy (because they primarly read for school) so they never realise how endearing reading really is

The Six Books of Proclus on the Theology of Plato https://archive.org/details/sixbooksproclus00unkngoog/page/n20/mode/1upChapter XII. The intention of the hypotheses, demonstrating their connection with each other, and their consent with the things themselves.Notes:1. "And what is the most wonderful of all, the highest negations are only enunciative, but some in a supereminent manner, and others according to deficiency. But each of the negations consequent to these is affirmative; the one paradigmatically, but the other iconically, or after the manner of an image. But the middle corresponds to the order of soul, for it is composed from affirmative and negative conclusions. But it possesses negations co-ordinate to affirmations." Does anyone want to have a crack at deciphering this?

For being you need thinking and for thinking you need being. Ok, I got it, Parmenides. But here is the thing I'm not following you: the reality(i.e; being) has already existed before thought and consciousness, thus it did not need thought for being. How Parmenides would solve this problem?
>>24836336How are you sure being existed before thought?
>>24836336I knida don't think he means "existent presenceful reality" when he says "being", I think he just means the general intelligible character of anything, which is why it's tied up with mind/thinking.
>>24836336the problem you're presenting is yours, not Parmenides'. Parmenides doesn't preach movement. Everything already Is. there is this dude, Bashar, who explains movement in a way that you might be able to comprehend how Being is immovable and yet all things seems to happen
Of all the writers loosely originating from this board (the so called /lit/ renaissance) how many of them will make some mark? Who will still be in print and read in 50 years?
>>24829217I feel like this level of animosity is sort of sour grapes. Otherwise I concur with how you feel. I wouldn’t say I am incompetent but I would prefer to not be remembered because I don’t particularly like humans
>>24830216>a real publisherMotherfucker, his “publisher” is some scummy grifter running an operation out of his spare bedroom, and exclusively using Print On Demand. The guy also takes something like 80% of the Print on Demand profits, so he’s making fuck all money from the slop he writes. His books are only in Australian libraries because he writes the libraries letters begging them to put the free copies he sends on the shelf. The guy is a talentless loser.

Which books do you reread? I’ve read Crime and Punishment several times and it always makes me sick.
>>24836168Which Dosto? Demons (and P&V) suck
>>24835847One Hundred Years of SolitudeI remember having reread it a couple of times, especially the part where Aureliano wants to keep fighting.
Read Blood Meridian three times, and each reread I pick up on things that I had missed before.
>>24835847I’ve read multiple translations of the Illiad and Odyssey. Favourite is Palmer believe it or not. I reread Corncob, especially Sunset Limited. I’ve reread Lovecraft in many forms and listened to adaptations. I recommend the DART radio plays but start with a later one the sound and production is not the best on the earliest ones. Colour Out of Space and Dreams in the Witch House are great. I reread LOTR every other year or so. The Hobbit has less staying power for me. >>24835981I think a fine edition or new translations are plenty good reasons to revisit a book. You talk like books are just chores, but they’re actually meant to be enjoyed. Explore some adaptations. I got a graphic novel version of 1984 (Namai) and the visual interpretations really highlighted how differently I’d read it. I got a version of The Man Who Would Be King illustrated like a travel diary which was also really interesting. Easton Press has a set of Count of Monte Cristo that features illustrated etchings on every other page, it’s quite something. Similarly Dickens was accompanied by a lot of illustrations originally and then lost them in new editions.

Good books on the politics of American wops?Good books on how in 100 years they went from rabid commie/anarchist terrorists to the most reactionary terachuds? Its a bit surprising.>ask /his/That'll just devolve into prot v. cath and nord v. med shitflinging. I'd like to actually learn the answer to this question, which is broad enough that a book rather than a post will be required.
>>24835866> prot v. cath and nord v. med shitflinging. I'd like to actually learn the answerI mean both of those are useful parts of the analysis. The US was heavily anglo and northern european, which means protestant ideas of duty and justice, it’s actually still a problem. You can see attitudes to corruption, crime, job ethic, life values - crudely expressed as “manana” culture for mediterraneans. Family loyalties gain a clan culture aspect we now associate more with middle easterners. “Me against my brother, me and my brother against our cousin” and so on. The very idea that someone can be related to you and wrong in a conflict that involves an outsider is western european. The big conceit of the west at large and the enlightenment values were that everyone could be inducted and embrace them. Turns out that was not the case.
