It was definitely cheating, if God had sex with a human being wouldn't that make the kid a demiGod, thus turning christianity into a polytheist religion ?
Why did nobody think of it that way if it already happened with other ancient gods ?

Christianity is a fraud

>>2792567
No because God is Jesus and Jesus is God.

>>2792567
>look mom i'm so edgy and clever i don't know shit about christianity *tips katana*

Explain?

Is their growth or decline in one's family status in America or is their foreseeable 'rising and falling' in a family's status?

For example, the Rothschild banking family status has generallly been stagnant for the past few millenniums. As have the Rockefellers. Have farming families that immigrated from Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, improved their families position in society or is it generally stagnant?

>>2791036
Good question, I have no clue, so I'll give you a bump.

Coldly autistic atheist, here. It's a fairly normal human thing to do. I hope you find a belief system that gives you clarity and peace.

You only think like that because you haven't abandoned the concept of a soul.

has anyone actually read his book? i haven't but its one of those things i want to get around to
still havent finished Gibbon's decline & fall

I've been in the last 100 pages of 'Decline' for ages, but it seems to have ramped up toward the end. Constant notes.

Come on Hank, I just wanna sell meth like your brother in law

Based hammer man.

If only the invaders were able to defeat Charles Martel, there's no saying in what kind of advances would have happened to Europe. Quite possible an Empire spanding across the entirety of Europe.

>>2790668
Yeah that worked great for the Middle East.

>>2790610
Because some Americans were against it. Like Davy Crockett.

Because they liked the Seminole, Choctaw, Cherokee, Muscogee and Chickasaw

hunter gatherer is more fun than farm peasant
they could go out inna woods and trap pelts and then come back and sell them to traders and buy stuff from farm peasants with the pelt money

hunting fishing and trapping is much more fun than walking around in mud and cowshit following a donkey and a plow around

You would think he would have never been sick or had a cold, but he did, many times!!!

>>2790596
why the fuck would anybody think that

>>2790634
Because most people think of him as a superhero villain, or "super villain," like something from a cartoon. They think he was like a space alien or something, when the reality was that he was actually more sickly than the average person of his time, which was sickliest than the people of today.

Shite historical reenactment

Obiously your costume is not authentic, but still the cuffs are wrong, your band is too low, youd have a badge on you left shoulder, but the hat looks about right so cheers to that.

Historical reenactments can certainly be an experience but I do wish more time and funding was put into them and wish the base of them were more influential to a wider age range. I went to watch a few on the Civil war and the war of 1812 and was dissapointed to see the lack of young peoples which would have been more historically accurate.

>all europeans are at least partly descended from caucasoid peoples who originated in the fertile crescent

How is that a btfo'ing?

>>2790301

> were distinctive from those of western Europe, with a West-East cline of ancestry.

>>2790227

with a very broad brush this happened

-Agriculture is invented in the middle east
-that gives the people there the biggest evolutionary advantage in history
-middle easterners from the Levant steamroll North Africa (the hunter gatherers who lived there), middle easterners from Anatolia steamroll Europe, middle easterners from the Zagros steamroll Iran and Pakistan/India.
Afro Asiatic and Dravidian languages may be the result of those expansions (some linguists see similarities between Elamite and Dravidian languages)

much later, indoeuropeans who were different, a mix of eastern european hunter gatherers and northcaucasians, lactose tolerant, with very little neolithic ancestry, and probably the first horse riders ever (another big technological advantage, not as good but comparable to being the first firmers) kinda reconquer europe, "whitening" the north european plains which had been completely colonized by neolithic farmers, but had a quite low population density until the middle ages when the heavy plough was created. and they also expand into the indian subcontinent and iran.

all europeans are mixed but in different proportions, southern europeans were always darker because they always had mainly neolithic ancestry. Sardinians descend mainly from neolithic farmers, Lithuanians descend mainly from indoeuropeans.

It would be possible to reform them into radioactive dust

By "reform" do you mean "secularize"

Finally someone mentions the african civilization

Video isn't really deep but it's pretty entertaining.

Watched it twice.

>>2789796
No, but that doesn't make the statement irrelevant either.

>>2789796
If you want to study classical Japan you have to know Chinese because that's what the court wrote their records in.

its less relevant to the medieval period though educated Japanese people at the time certainly could read Chinese as well.

Asian countries with significant Chinese cultural influence
>Japan
>Vietnam
>Korea
>Singapore

Asian countries without significant Chinese cultural influence
>too many to list

Yes it was, it's empirically observable. I also find fascinating how he somehow causes butthurt to liberals, left wingers and right wingers at the same time. Liberals and leftists is because he cathegorically refuses whig history, dialectical materialism and linear progress, and right wingers because he correctly see the rise of Caesar as when things start to go to shit, rather than some civilizational rebirth.

>>2789738

No, it empirically is not.

>>2789752
I do find it fascinating. The age of enlightenment marking the point where rationalism took hold in the west and the need to question everything slowly eats away at it's own culture as everything becomes nihilistic and meaningless, losing it's vitality and passion.

Of course it also differes from the /pol/ narrative, according to him this seeming resurgence of Islamic and Chinese civilization is just a temporary illusion of reawakening as they are pushed into motion by the dying of western civilization and that Russian civilization is the true future. They are still young and the west will be to them what the Roman and Greeks/Semites were to the West.
