But it's dead already...

No there not

I genuinely don't understand why white nationalists and such love Rhodesia so much. For one, the state (let's for the sake of an argument say it's a state, even though for whatever reason the UN refused to acknowledge it) only lasted for 14 years. That is not a long enough time to know if the policies it set in place were viable in the long term. More importantly, a top-down system like the kind they kept in place was becoming more and more unsustainable when post-WW1 the world had placed so much emphasis on self-determination for the majority.

Pretty bitter sounding but it matchs what I briefly learned in my religious class that was taught by a leabonese refugee who naturalized and got US citizenship, so I'm inclined to agree.

From a cursory glance looks like the old technique of bringing up obscure occurrences on the hopes that no one else knows enough to be able to disprove it. For example, he mentions the Banu Qurazya but doesn't mention that they (supposedly) had broken a treaty with muhammad at the battle of the trenches.

Lets just take Christianity for example.

Biblical literalism is untenable for obvious reasons, but even if you take the interpretive method of the Orthodox and Catholics it still paints a negative picture of God. It shows a God that doesn't care too much about the integrity of his testament to man. The text is written by various different authors with different ideas about God, Satan, etc.

Him remaining silence for the vast majority of human history only to leave his first testament to an obscure tribe makes little sense. Neither does having a second universal testament that takes thousands of years to reach most of the globe.

Not to mention that modern scholarships paints the Bible as subject to contradictions, influences from other mythologies, etc just like any other religious text. Not to say the Bible is not unique in any way and doesn't contain some merit, but it does not strike the objective eye as something inspired from something otherworldly

Either you're a fundamentalist/literalist and you go full retard, or you're some eclectic cathodox type that still paints a puzzling picture more easily explained by it being full of shit than it coming from god, or you're some liberal moderately religious person that has left behind most of it.

Because society has become gradually more miserable since the idea that life is pointless and that we should just seek pleasure in the here and now.

I don't care if there's an afterlife or even a God that cares about us (though I faith in at least the latter), religion helps me get up and go to a job I hate and deal with the other shit life throws at us on a daily basis.

Sloth or lust
On one hand I like doing absolutely nothing, on the other though I like jerking off like 6 times a day

One of the problems with sin is not only that of divine punishment, but that sins by itself are bad for you. They make you unhappier and a worse person.

Lust doesn't just mean "has lots of sex".

I'm guessing separation from God.

Original sin is just allegory for people can be cunts real easy, that's why you should work hard at being decent to others and shiet

They were a Christian military order. That alone is reason enough for interest.

Americans think they were English (while they really were French)
And Americans are obsessed with English history (muh ancestors)
So Americans are obsessed with Templars, and since they're the cultural hegemon, everyone in their sphere of influence (The West + Japan) is obsessed with them as well

i think you mean built by emperors who would nail people to a fucking cross

Westerners think we are great because we are compassionate and philanthropic, but we became the best through being ruthless cunts and then afterwards decided to be nice.

Development requires necessity. Lush environments, predictable weather patterns without major external forces or competition usually leads to nothing. Basic tribal societies.

Attempting a feat that Alexander did in the information era is seemingly impossible. You may grow a powerful military but the sabotage by CIA/M16/Mossad assets runs the chances to a single digit percentage.

Back in undergrad all we did was read some few chapters.

It was usually the thesis that required whole reading of books.
