The original Semitic phenotype is preserved on the genetically isolated island of Socotra off the coast of Yemen/Somalia
Why do light-skinned Arabs and so called Jews lie to the world? This is what the real Chosen People looked like
>isolated
not exactly
>>2507366
>implying Semites from Socotra ever had anything to do with Israelites or other western Semites
That's like saying you expect Tajiks to look like Norwegians just because they're both Indo-European.

Is Christianity a semetic religion culturally? It had semetic roots but it's evolved alongside European culture for hundreds of years. Are people who practice Christianity culturally semites? What are the differences between collective European and Semetic religious views? How does Christianity differ between those two collective cultural groups?
>>2507243
It's a Hellenic religion that incorporated large swathes of Neo-Platonism. Catholics are still conducting their services in a pagan tongue.

This. It has Semitic elements of well. I'd call it a mediterranean religion. Which makes sense considing it formed in a mediterranean empire.

Has any country besides Singapore ever successfully accomplished a third world to first world transition?
>>2507078
Literally every first world country
>>2507078
Palestine/Israel.
>>2507078
South Korea. Argentina. Chile. But if you think about it, every first world country has transitioned from a third world country, so I think you should make your question more specific, cause Japan and Great Britain are both answers to your question.
What is some essential Catholic literature? I'm thinking about converting but want to do some reading first.
The City of God (Augustine of Hippo)
Summa Theologica (Thomas Aquinas)
The Imitation of Christ (Thomas Kempis)

Fuck off, if you simply wish to convert because you think it's fashionable, don't convert at all.
How much Jewish involvement was there in the creation of the New Testament?
>>2506804
Not a whole lot, despite the intuitiveness of such a preposition. Matthew is the only one of the 4 gospels which might have had a Jewish-Christian author, the others are pretty clearly Greeks. Paul claims he was a righteous Pharisee before his revelation at Damascus, but he seems shockingly ignorant of basic contemporary Pharisee theological concepts, like "What are sacrifices for?" While we can't rule out Paul's Jewish roots entirely, he certainly isn't working from any sort of Jewish theological framework in his own theological tracts.
As for the other epistles, who can really say?
>>2506804
The whole thing was inspired by some jew...
>>2506804
0% as the New Testament is the direct word of God. Jews being men had no involvement in its creation.

Who /misanthrope/ here?
>>2506717
I honestly enjoy hearing and reading about humans getting massacred and killed. I hope more mass killings and destruction happens in the future because that's all that humans deserve.
Here sorta.
I'm just incredibly disapointed by everyone's lack of strenght to overcome the ordeals that an undeveloped inner life can bring. I am amazed at man's ability to be able to reach heaven as much as hell, greatness as much as the most fetid vanity, but it's way too much only about the fetid vanity anyway.
And worst. It's considered cool to be a bad peace of shit nowadays. I'm 90% sure there's no going back at this point.
Oh and misanthropy as just being an edgy cunt is but a weak comfort for those unable to face themselves and then foolishly calling out the world for their problems.
>>2506717
Misanthropy is for people who see what's going wrong, but they see problems when looking at symptoms. I was a misanthrope before I got systems, now I see the same life all around, and the cosmic irony haunts me. I see the beauty in humans, they were closest life has ever got to being conscious of itself.
It's a shame that life lost most of itself to get there and that potential had nothing to sustain itself.
So, in Ancient Greece the island of Delos was regarded as a sanctuary, due to being the birthlace of Apollon. Due to that, nobody was allowed to be born on that island, and more importantly, nobody was allowed to die on that island.
How did the Greek enforce the latter?
>threatening a man that wants to die with death
>>2506586
It's a very small island. The only people living there were probably the guys responsible for the temples and such. And the visitors. Both were probably filtered and super old fucks were not allowed.
>there are people living there today

Also, that's a perfect movie title.

Is it true Germany sent 250k troops to Norway because they thought Britain was going to try and liberate it? How useful would those troops have been on the eastern front?
>>2506575
they didn't die in Norway did they? Its not like it was impossible to bring them back
>>2506578
I heard they kept them there most of the war
>>2506575
Not quite that many. It was 13 divisions at their height of dedicated deployment (not counting the troops in Finland who got evicted and fled there after the Finns switched sides), which is more like 200k than 250.
>How useful would those troops have been on the eastern front?
Hard to say; they were predominantly garrison/static divisions, which were of limited utility in the wide open comparatively mobile Eastern Front. They probably could have fought well if the fight had erupted where they were, but there's no real assurance that it would.
>>2506578
It was pretty difficult considering the sealift capabilities of the 3rd Reich. Plus, just because you have troops somewhere doesn't mean you have them where you need them when you need them. They only started pulling troops back out in April of 1944, and by then the war was pretty much already lost.
