Why were distilled beverages introduced so late? For common usage, that is. The process of distillation was found somewhere around 3rd century AD in Alexandria (alembic) but it was mainly used for making medicines. It took more than 1000 years until first brandy was made.

>Jews make up a bunch of garbage that defame you (see the imaginary Exodus that has yet to be supported by archaelogy or remotely contempoary non-Jewish records)
>Egyptian records point to what's called the Hebrews being raiders who were chimpingout in Egypt
Feels bad man.

Are you suggesting that Jews would make up a bunch of information, that they want everyone to consider as "truth", which isn't? That's technically anti-antisemitism and a crime in several European countries anon.

If I admit that evolution is an actual process that occurs within nature, am I blaspheming against God Himself?

No, because God is the ultimate arbiter of Reality, and if you deny natural processes, you deny Him.

China I guess.
Every time it goes to war- foreign or domestically- hundreds of thousands if not millions die.

Genghis Khan and the Mongols at 70-100 million.
Also another fun fact

My parents weren't very forceful in indoctrinating me to their pagan faith. I then went through a fedora atheist phase in middle school, then I grew up and accepted that spirituality had its place in life, though it wasn't in mine.
It's a live and let live sort of mindset.

Used to be a cathocuck, now neither the roman mumbo-jumbo nor Judeo-Christian theology does make much sense to me. I could have turned Buddhist, but then I realized I don't really need a religion, half an hour meditation a dy is enough.

Arranged marriages were just a society wide buddy system that revolved around pairing members of the opposite sex together right? So why is the sexual free market considered progressive?
What is wrong with giving everybody a buddy they can love and have sex with? Why do socialists want to clothe and feed everyone but so vehemently defend the sexual free market?

Why do people who criticize Communism never actually know what it is?
It's almost as if Anti-Communists are somehow brainwashed by some kind of major force in society into thinking Communism is something it's not.

Could the Chinese crossbow pierce the Roman Scutum? If it can I don't see how there's even an argument to be made, China wins. If it can't then I'd assume the superior roman infantry would roll China's conscript army

I honestly think the two would engage in a huge battle with Chinese numbers being so overwhelming that they both overtake Roman formations, while also losing such a large number that morale turns to shit. A bloody stalemate.

How the fuck can humanity become a space civilization without first having a centralized earth government?
What country would be mad enough to sent people out into space? They'd know they stand no chance of keeping control over them. Pretty much anyone who goes out into space past the asteroid belt is basically guaranteed to break off into an independent state, more so someone going interstellar. So who would possible do this except for private entities basically kickstarting it for lack of a better word?
When we do manage to get off earth, and assuming we ever get off the solar system, everyone is just going to continue fighting over the solar system. Nobody is going to want to be the one cuck saying "h-hey guys, w-we made it to Alpha centauri! h-hehe, it takes 4 years to get a message out there and they basically have nothing to do with us, b-but we sent them, s-so they're technically ours, haha!"

The sad truth is that unless there is some sort of ground-breaking discovery that completely changes our understanding of physics, interstellar travel is impossible.
>>
>>3058932
Well, it's not impossible. But I can see how it is incredibly doubtful unless your ships are carrying millions of people and they're ran like a police state.
