You know, the funny thing is that the Old Testament is quite clear that blood offerings are NOT needed to gain God's forgiveness.

Did your ancestors ever kill anybody, /his? And I'm not talking about thousands of years ago, I'm talking recent history (WW1, WW2 etc)

I wouldn't know that.
My great grandfather certainly saw a pal lost in an artillery barrage though.

Step-grandad's cousin was a Stuka Pilot on the eastern front, so I'm assuming yes, though thats not really a direct ancestor by blood.

Why didn't Spain/Portugal contribute anything to the world in their early history despite their similar climate?

Climate doesn't have much to do with a given society's development. It's all about genetics, and the Greeks pretty much hit the jackpot with theirs.

If the reconquista had never happened, How advanced would the mesoamerican culture and the incas be right now?
I feel like they're pretty underrated. They came up with writing independently, developed math and build one of the largest cities in the world at the time.
>Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés arrived in Tenochtitlan on November 8, 1519. With an estimated population between 200,000 and 300,000. Compared to Europe, only Paris, Venice and Constantinople might have rivaled it. It was five times the size of the London of Henry VIII.[6] In a letter to the Spanish king, Cortés wrote that Tenochtitlan was as large as Seville or Córdoba. Cortes' men were in awe at the sight of the splendid city and many wondered if they were dreaming.[15]

Not very. Within a hundred years, you had other people besides the Iberians, French and English and Danes and the like, exploring the New World. And within a hundred years, the Mesoamericans aren't likely to catch up to things like steel and horses and guns, and certainly won't have an answer to the diseases Europeans carry with them. Someone else would have shown up and then beaten the shit out of them.
>>
>>2658547
Even without a brutal conquest they would have inevitably faced extreme devastation from disease.
Also the Aztecs would have faced a major totonac uprising even if the Spanish hadn't shown up, it was already a powder keg Cortes just lit it.
>>
The aztec would have been better of if cortez showed up 50 years earlier. Their society was collapsing for various reasons when the spanish "discovered" them

Also which philosophers are your biggest inspiration for that view?

I remember a roman emperor trying to raise a whore/entertainer army to please their enemies into submission, but I can't remember for the fuck of me who this was.
Was this just a gay rumor?

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
— ADOLF HITLER.
— MUAMMAR GADDAFI.
— AGUSTÍN DE ITURBIDE.
IT IS TRAGIC THAT MOST HISTORICAL NOBLE LEADERS HAVE BEEN REFORMERS, RATHER THAN REVOLUTIONARIES.

why did the Germans want to capture Stalingrad/Volgograd? was it sort of like in WW1 when the Germans tried to capture Paris, as to deliver a "mortal blow"?

Hitler was a moron.
The original German plan was to cut off the Volga, and have the other 3 (of the 4) panzer divisions go to the caucuses.
They finished this objective by September, but Hitler decided he wanted the city too just because it had Stalin's name attached to it.
