Poos and Chinks lack souls

Because christianity is a obvious copy of egyptian theology

a) There may exist a divine being, but not as Christians, Jews, LDS, Muslims, Jewish people imagine him/her/it. Religion is a product of local cultures and history -- a mythology, in short.
b)Jesus was most probably a brown person, given that he was a Galilean Semite. This is pretty funny, actually, when one thinks of that small group that comprises overlap between Christians and alt-right idiots.

Hello there, I can try to address some of it.
Background: Raised Protestant, becoming Catholic as soon as I can after years of personal theology study.

Heaven is a "place" as far as I understand it, but the reason is is Heaven is not because of any intrinsic value in it. Rather, it is the place where the Christian has direct, unrbroken contact with God. We believe that sin has made a barrier between us and God, and that as we become more righteous, the more and more that barrier fades. Heaven is a place but what makes it Heaven is that its the place we go when there is no more barrier.

Things like the feeling of intimacy, of selfless love, all these good things have their source in God. If you have ever made love before, the feeling of bonding and closeness is the defining characteristic of Heaven. We do not have sex with God, but it is the most infinitely intense feeling of intimacy and closeness that is only poorly approximated by sex.

Also, we consider God to be not a "man in the sky" but we consider Him to be a living God who is singular but exists in 3 persons: The Father, the Son, and the Spirit. He hears prayers, acts in the world, brings people to salvation and redemption, and loves us very much.

As far as the Muslim thing goes:

We all (muslims, jews, christians) claim to worship the God of Abraham. A comparative study between the attributes of Allah and the attributes of the God jews and christians worship show them to be different beings entirely.

tl;dr Same in name only

>Is it true that Muslims worship the same God as Christians and the Jewish but just have different traditions?
Jew here. That enormously depends on how you define "God" in the first place. I mean, all three of us claim it's the God that created the universe, but the conceptions of the three are so radically different that I at least tend to think of them as completely separate concepts/deities.

>>2683195
>If God is there and he created all, who created heaven? Is heaven just a medaphore for everything and everywhere?

Heaven is just a level where you're connected to God. It does not bind nor contain God. God's presence is there so God is said to be there.

>What do Muslims have against Christians? I know they aren't fond of them, hence the bombings, but why?

Muhammad wanted more power so he shifted from reinventing Christianity to his own liking like a proto-Protestant to making a new cult around himself.

>Is it true that Muslims worship the same God as Christians and the Jewish but just have different traditions?

Greatly different ~understanding~ of that God is the proper way of looking at it. Jews and Samaritans or Catholics and Orthodox have different traditions.

Conn of the Hundred Battles and Sigtrygg Silkbeard are my personal favourites

The early Scottish Kings had some good ones

>the most famous tranny in history was the worst and most embarrassingly pathetic emperor of all time

Why can't we have anything

How much about this guy was actually true tho. Romans loved talking shit about Emperors once they were dead.

I doubt you could remain Emperor for 4 years being as weird as the stories claim he was.

>>2683112
i mean the dude died when he was 18

sad, short, violent life. he and his mom were beheaded and dragged through the streets.

Worst part? His grandmother both put him into power and decided it was time for him to die

This is breddy ebig

If you think there is anything wrong with being French or Marxist you need to go back to >>>/pol/

>>2683095

There is definitely something wrong with being a French philosopher post 1850

The intellectual vulgarity of Marxism goes without saying.

libertarian here

i'm starting to open up to arguments against private property being legitimate
it only exists through coercion or violent defense

i still hate redistribution though
m8, i'll help you seize the means of reproduction, but you're still making your own shit with it

Consider myself an utilitarian, but I'm starting to doubt it.

>>2683058
I used to be a Leninist.

I gave up when I realized there are so many books I HAVE to read and my lazy ass wasn't ready for it. I'm still a pretty lefty, but now I'm reading more about history and barely any politics.

>people who were running a for-profit enterprise cut their losses and left when it wasn't profitable

Yeah nah brah

Because humans are kin-selected and kin selection in intelligent organisms leads to empathy.

Religious moral codes are a reflection of morality, not the cause of it.

This being said, it seems like the Abrahamic religions cut down on a lot of bullshit, and I'm glad that happened.

seeing as though most morals can be derived from natural emotions and thought yes. hedonism

>>2682997
why would god be necessary for that?

I'm sure you've heard this multiple times before, but the language would be more Germanic and less Latin. And they would be less involved in mainland politics.

I wonder if England would still have had important universities in the middle ages.

>>2682988
Wasn't the perception of Britain just "That one rainy island"?

>>2682827
I'm an atheist, and man I'll say, that pic is a bad example of atheists. I hate this "4 horsemen" bullcrap. Dennett is a straight-up retard, and Dawkins and Hitchens are middling intellects. Harris might be a moron too, but I haven't looked at his stuff so I can't say.

>>2682827
I would say this most likely a straw man, but I can use an anecdote to respond.

Poor people are always thinking about the next life cause this one isn't worth living.

>>2682843
Hitchens is worthwhile to listen to. Sam has okay stuff but he kinda sperged on Peterson. The other two aren't worthy of calling intilectuals.

>>2682823
I watched the first couple of episodes and I thought it was complete trash.

Granted from the title you can kind of tell that it'll have the Romans as antagonists but even then the acting is just bleh.

>>2683013

For ex?

>Be king of tiny kingdom
>Upon death give kingdom to insane roman emperor and my daughters

How else was this supposed to end?

Quality generalship + the superiority of a hoplite in the field

Egyptians were nowhere as good sailors as the Greeks. On top of that, Persians were inexperienced at naval combat and subordinated to said Egyptians and the few Phoenicians captains leading their fleets, storms made things worse and haphazard leadership further magnified their failures.

athenians had a good navy, while the terrain of greece itself heavily favours the defender. The persians couldn't very well march over land to athens.

>>2682773
True, but the Chritisnaity of Europe was isolated for about 1300 years.

What the fuck is the point of this thread. I don't even understand what your contention is.

post this pic on /pol/ and make sure to remind them that jesus was jewish for extra butthurt

>Why do people believe Christianity is European
Because it is the roman empire that made it what it is today. However its roots are undeniably levantine.
