Afrocentrism is a mental illness not a logically derived conclusion so no, it can't be destroyed by facts.

No, I mean "will it destroy Afrocentrism?" After all, without being kangz they have nothing to back their other equally stupid claims.

I was getting stoked reading about the Baha'i religion and thought that I'd finally found the right faith for me, until I got to the part where it says homosexual acts are incompatible with it. This seems inevitable with practically every religion and the consistent intolerance has unfortunately made shallow atheism (and anti-theism) rampant in the gay community. However, most of us still believe in God and we're desperate for a religion that will take us in and allow us to meet our spiritual needs.

I don't personally accept that the Abrahamic faiths are inherently homophobic, but their traditions certainly are and most adherents still have deep-seated issues with us. It'd be great to find a religion which we could adopt as our own and dispel the perception of our community as being amoral and materialistic.

Is there a religion (either contemporary or historical) that celebrates express affection between men, or is at least unambiguously ambivalent toward it? (idgaf about dykes - they have their "wiccan" bullshit)

Apparently, ritual sex between men was an acceptable form of worship for the god Moloch. Something like that would be the ideal scenario, only without the ugly child sacrifice element.

Sikhs have absolutely no traditions regarding homosexually. Which granted has given some the latitude to condemn it, however one of the utmost important doctrines for Sikhs is to bear no bias or ill will towards any other human for race, region, sexuality, etc. So the ones who oppose homosexual acts are typically outliers or hypocrites
>>
Question is

Why the fuck are you looking for a faith if you have no belief in it? You're just larping and disrespecting the actual believing members of that church. Pisses me off more than antitheism does.

>I go to church but I don't believe in god


That said, go greek pagan.
>>
That's the pit you fall into when you go to a religion preaching that it has objective truth and expecting it to meld to your subjective opinions.

Baha'ism is fucking nonsensical and wholly contradictory though, speaking as someone with Baha'i family members

Why did America abandon its streetcars and interurban networks by the mid-20th century? We could really use them nowadays.

Most places did, unfortunately. The streetcar conspiracy is overstated, and even without some unfortunate levies placed on companies with regards to road maintenance most of the streetcar networks were unprofitable and seen as obsolescent by the mid century. Seems crazy the lack of foresight people had that would make them abandon light and heavy rail networks despite population growth.

Don't forget the role that urban planners like (((Robert Moses))) played in the deliberate destruction of public transit in America.

>Robert Moses (December 18, 1888 – July 29, 1981) was a public official who worked mainly in the New York metropolitan area. Known as the "master builder" of mid-20th century New York City, Long Island, Rockland County, and Westchester County, he is sometimes compared to Baron Haussmann of Second Empire Paris, and was one of the most polarizing figures in the history of urban development in the United States. His decisions favoring highways over public transit helped create the modern suburbs of Long Island and influenced a generation of engineers, architects, and urban planners who spread his philosophies across the nation despite not training in those professions. Moses would call himself a "coordinator" and was referred to in the media as a "master builder".[3]

Why does /pol/ deny the fact that Black People/Sub-Saharan Africans lived in the Roman Empire?
210 posts and 57 images submitted.
>>
>>3127530
They did.
They were also very rare (a few in Southern Egypt and traders from Ethiopia) peasants and had very little impact on the empire as a whole.
Basically only Greeks, Italians (including Latins living in colonies) and Germans (later on when the army was barbarized) were able to occupy positions of power within the imperial structure.
There were Basques, Illyrians and Celtobarians in the empire too, but they didn't do shit so no one cares about them either.

They legit fear the black man.

>Black People/Sub-Saharan Africans lived in the Roman Empire

what a fascinating assertion
if you know that at least one Black People lived in the Roman Empire specifically, you certainly then should be able to give a basic estimate for the total.

>There were throat-cutting contests of Serbs, in which prison guards made bets among themselves as to who could slaughter the most inmates. Former Franciscan priest Petar Brzica won a contest on 29 August 1942 after cutting the throats of 1,360 inmates. A gold watch, a silver service, a roasted suckling pig and a bottle of Italian wine were among his rewards.
>(Concentration camp) inmates were tied in pairs, back to back, their bellies were cut before they were tossed into the river alive

Yurop has unironically the best food, you can find from Rustic peasant stuff to incredible elaborate dishes using the last tech, and even your mom and pop restaurant/bistro/bar uses above average (specially if you consider the rest of the world) quality foodstuff in an affordable way.
Japan and China have top tier food too, but in China the quality is really abismal.

>>3116951
That's not an average meal though. In Japan they'd have fish, soup, rice and something pickled.

Also I heard that frog food is great

>Yurop has unironically the best food

No it doesn't. Aesthetics mask the completely flavorless and bland dishes that majority of European dishes entail.

Why is Punishment almost always chosen over Rehabilitation?
207 posts and 27 images submitted.

Why would you attempt to get someone to change their ways when you can simply kill or imprison them thus removing the problem from society?
Chinks went a step further and massacred 3 generations if someone committed a crime of a high enough tier.
>>
Rehabilitation is harder and doesn't work
>>
If someone killed someone you love would you think "I think I can change the murderer to be good" or "This bastard needs to die and die horribly!"
