Surprised by how convincing this "argument" is to most people, especially academics.
shitler and rest of the german fuckers hated us the Jews because we don't look germanic.
No, because every japanese,chinese,african,arab is blonde with blue eyes, and a"roman" nose.
In fact we the jews are the ONLY one in the world who are not blondes , blue eyes and with a "roman" nose.
EVERYONE - the japanese,chinese,africans,arabs are all "germanic" . we are the only ones who are not.
>>2755521
yeah, in fact we the Jews are the ONLY ones in the world who do not look "germanic".
EVERYONE else - the japanese,chinese,arabs,africans EVERY single one of them is blonde, blue eyed with a "roman" nose, only us the Jews are not,.

How do Christians worship a god that is going to send a vast majority of everyone who ever lived, regardless of how conventionally evil or good they are, to hell for not worshiping him? I'm not saying I'm an atheist. In fact it terrifies me that there is a good possibility this God exists. Christians are deluded because you ask these very simple and natural questions and they just think God has some master plan beyond comprehension and people are the problem and the fact that he's arranged a contract whereby it so happens that not every single person must needs end up in hell is somehow doing us a massive favor. A sliver of opportunity to see what is behind door number 2 is worth being committed to this death-trap in the first place? And I'm definitely not a big fan of Lucifer either because before that asshole came along apparently we were right in the sight of God and permitted to live eternally in paradise. I could just imagine these two talking behind the curtain at this cosmic Kabuki theater: "okay Lucy, now I want you to give them free will so they can love me and I can finally start getting some recognition around this place." How terribly dramatic.
So now maybe we're not under the rule of the most evil God possible, a pure sadist, but we're dealing with a God that we have to constantly try to appease with proper worship? What does it entail? A certain sect of Christianity Lordship Salvation says you basically need to dedicate every waking hour to this guy. And you need to do it in good faith. You can't even fake it because he knows what you are thinking better than you do even! And you have to do this in spite of yourself. I don't know about you but I would just as soon have never existed in the first place. I don't believe in the demiurge duelist gnostic bullshit. To me its a pipe-dream. I just see the futility of this life that is destined to end in eternal torment because of a God that is impossible to appease.
And you know what really burns my ass? Clearly God just wants a few servants to stand out in the crowd that he has chosen. There is quite a bit of speculation about who the "144 000" are in Revelation. I reckon this is the entire body of the elect! I mean if God really wanted to keep everyone out of hell then apart from creating such a terrible place to begin with, WHY NOT UNIVERSALIZE THE GOSPEL. why not make sure the religion is established in the world as soon as possible in every nation so people aren't blindsided by hellfire when they die? I can say if there is one thing I lament its that consciousness is even possible.

Why did chariots go out of style? The terrain and geography of Europe didn't change.
idrk but it looks like a waste of horses
I mean how many pairs do you need to move 50 kms. a day on average?
>>2755316
Depends, it went out of style in Numerous parts of the world and in different times.
In the Mediterranean, horses got bigg enough to be rode on and chariots became pointless since it initially was an instrument to use tiny ass horses as beats of burden for a warmachine. With mounted cavalry, they became redudnant.
Also what >>2755349. 2 horses for a singular soldier (well, driver not included).
That said, Chariots became obsolete in Central Asia/Mediterranean/middle east pretty early, followed by Continental Europe, then India.
The last place they became extinct was China, largely because the Chinks found shitloads of uses for them. True, mounted cavalry also ended the dominance of Chariotry in China, but the Chinese have so many horses and built such big chariots (can carry 4 cunts) that they still were important as personnel carriers: ferrying chariotborne infantry to flanking positions (have 50 chariots, with 3 infantrymen each, that means 150 cunts). In addition, the combination of Chariot and Crossbow was deadly, especially during the Han-Xiongnu war where they were used to great effect. It was already the late 100s AD when Chariots disappeared in the Chinese battlefield.
>>2755316
Chariots were only used because horses were not strong enough to carry a armed and armored rider into battle.
After they were able to breed strong enough horses chariots were obsolete.
Cavalry -> consumes less horses, faster, more mobile, more flexible tactics.

Yes, they're called Romans and Greeks. Germanics and Turks killed them off respectively.

They're still around.
>>2755120
Nope, those are turkish rape babies. The Italians have no relation to the Romans. On top of that, Romans genocided the rest of the Judeans so all the Jews we see today descend from converts. Israelites went extinct 100 plus years after Christ
What are some universally recognized gestures that retain meaning throughout all cultures they appear in?
For instance, nodding your head up and down for yes or back and forth for no. This is pretty much universally accepted in all cultures, yeah? Like even uncontacted peoples in the Brazilian Jungle, in the depths of the darkest corners of Africa and among the Eskimo peoples in the frozen wastes. How did peoples who have had no contact with each other (either directly or by proxy) come to the same conclusion? Is it written into our DNA?
And for that matter, when did smacking your hands together like a spastic come to indicate approval of an action that has been witnessed?
what about dry humping?

Is Wikipedia really banned in Turkey? How are we supposed to argue with turkposter now?
I can't imagine how i'd feel if i couldn't access that website. People may shit on it but it's a very good source of knowledge and i learned many interesting things there.
>>2754136
>People may shit on it but it's a very good source of knowledge and i learned many interesting things there.
It is, at least when it comes to philosophy, absolute shit if you want to attain an above highschool level of understanding. You're much better off using plato.stanford.edu.
I remember years ago when I tried to look up some terms just for fun and stuff like "epistemological contextualism" didn't even have a site on wikipedia.
>>2754151
childhood is thinking that Wikipedia is great
tenagehood is thinking that Wikipedia is inherently fallacious as a learning tool
maturity is understanding that Wikipedia is actually priceless
T. Phil PhD, Wikipedia is respected as a source by virtually everyone (even by the curators of the SEP)
>>2754151
> absolute shit if you want to attain an above highschool level of understanding.
Anybody using it to that end is stupid. The value of wikipedia, and IMO it's excellent value (seeing as its free and easy to navigate), is to brush up on the basics so you have a launching point for what you want to learn.
How does tribalism work and relate to human nature? Is it entirely based on race? A lot of people seem to think so, but I've been able to connect with and form some kind of tribal boundry with people from all sorts of spectrums of religions and races. However, people from the same religion like Mexicans and Americans dislike each other despite both being Christian nations, and you see this mentality in other huge religions like Islam where nations don't usually care about each other's condition.
What forms tribalistic boundries?
>>2754093
>Mexicans and Americans dislike each other despite both being Christian nations
You need to take the history of these people into account too, people of the same race and religion can hate each other
The "tribe" is merely the Group-As-Concept. Anything can be a tribe. The average person is easily within a dozen "tribes". The family, the church, the state, a book club, your D&D group, all of these things are in varying degrees "tribes" as far as tribalism is concerned.
The real meat of tribalism is recognizing what these things are. Namely, groups imagined as distinct interests, with both allies and enemies.
I actually have a lot more I could say on this topic, AMA.
>>2754169
1: Is tribalism something with a lot of depth to it? or is it just a animal instinct that can be formed out of anything and have no large impact in the long run of things? Tribalism in religions is simple, it's to preserve the religion and to help it survive over thousands of years, but does it really mean anything? 1000 years from now and people will be forming tribes on Mars over abstract concepts that don't really matter?
2: Does the average person realize they're in a tribe? In america, it doesn't really feel like I'm in a distinct group or a tribe with its own culture, but when you see a group with a different culture, you can definitely tell that they're kin.
