>So I only learned about the Bible through watered down Sunday School teachings and sermons.

Never read the whole thing cover to cover then?

I'd start there

Historians (at least as part of their academic opinions on history) don't claim Yahweh is a monster, whether he exists and claims about his nature are part of theology and not history at all.

>reading cover to cover
one of the worst ways of reading it tbqh, for NT you should read them together, so rather than mark then luke you should look chronologically, birth of jesus mark , birth of jesus luke , jesus fucking around mark, jesus fucking around luke etc.

Moreover you need context, need to know about bronze age history, bronze age religions, greco-roman civilization etc. A lot of things would not make any sense, If you cant point out corinth on the map or know who nebuchadnezzar is


I think a lot of christians shoot themselves on foot by trying to read bible cover to cover without having any backhand knowledge or context.

What if the writer just had dyslexia?

Could have been anything really. Maybe some scollar thought to himself that it would be cool to whrite his knowlege on those plants (or whatever the fuck it is) in code, maybe it was just a prank. I like to think it's just a guy whrighting his shitty fantasy novel, but he knew that it was cringey as fuck and that his friends would laugh at him if they found the book, so he whrote it in code so they couldnt read. Fuck i made a lot of gramatical errors

Everyone here agrees. Save this for /pol/, AngloAmerica's status as Rome 2.0 is fully accepted on this board. 3/10 meme for /his/. 10/10 on /pol/.

I used to think Germany could've beaten the UK 1v1 and that they couldn't have beaten the USSR. Now I see it as the opposite. All the Brits really need to do maintain their navy and air force and stall. The German economy will collapse in a few years with no one to loot. Any attempts by them to bomb Britain into submission or navally defeat them are doomed to failure, as the UK has an industry and economy on par with Germany's yet an army 1/5 the size, so they're pretty much always going to have a much stronger navy and air force.

My prediction for how this extended conflict would go. Everything goes how it did until June 1941 of course. Mid 1941 to mid 1943, the Germans and Brits continue to flail at each other in the air, neither accomplishing much other than losing planes but the Brits holding the edge due to ease of replacing losses. German subs are still sinking British ships at high rates. The Brits still kick the Italians and Germans out of North Africa by mid 1943 and drub the Regina Marina, but are unable to continue to Italy due to lacking the resources. Even without the Americans, the Brits are still dominative enough over the Germans and Italians at sea that their victory in the Med is a foregone conclusion. And it doesn't matter how much the Germans focus on North Africa, the logistics bases they have to work with physically will not allow them to go any farther than they did.

Mid 1943 is where everything changes, as by then the Brits should've decisively learned the counters to the German U-boat tactics, as they did in the OTL. Starting from roughly late 1943 the Brits were annihilating the Kriegsmarine's U-boats and Doenitz himself admitted he was losing them for basically no return. This would continue in this timeline, and the Germans would see their odds at sea go from slim to hopeless, and with it any chance of a victory as their navy is crushed. By late 43 with the death of the Scharnost they should also have lost most of their surface fleet.

Yeah, this. I can respect someone without agreeing with them.

they'd speak a variety of different dialects with strong regional accents, the more backwards areas might speak a different language like brittonic cumbric or anglo-saxon english, remnants of bygone ages

they spoke whatever dialect was spoken in their village. Before the push for linguistic centralisation in many countries in Europe (France being the most major example), dialects were divergent to the point many could be considered their own languages; on the other hand, there are many languages where dialects still are highly divergent. The reason for the divergence were geographic barriers (mountains, swamps, forests, uncolonised wastelands) as the most contact was between the closest of communities due to the isolated/sedentiary nature of life in the time period. Depending on location (areas bordering other languages, certain cities, lands subject to colonisation), their language/dialect could be infused with a varying number of loanwords.

Very interesting, but does this even answer OP's question?

Don't forget Caesar wept when he saw a statue of Alexander, because he thought the same thing.

he was born nobility, you were likely born to a middle class family whose buying power shrunk as you grew, thus dooming you to wagecuckholdry. also it's stupid to compare yourself to just anyone. compare yourself to your parents. anyone else is too different for a comparison to mean anything.

Only a small portion of the population resisted (but they were pretty effective, disrupting German occupation and helping the british to D-day), only a small portion of the population cooperated (but the Sto, the Charlemagne division... were things and kinda helped the germans). The truth is that the frogs did not care and just sit on their ass until the end of the war.

>>2962873
There were essentially two main sources of resistance from the French after the Nazi's rolled in. Degaulle's forces and the Communists. De Gaulle were basically just military units that refused to surrender and kept fighting. While admirable there are three main problems. The first is that they were as stated before, not a "resistance" in the sense of civilian partisans under enemy occupation but actual soldiers, the second is that they were not even in France. They fought the Axis but did so outside of occupied France. The Third is that a huge proportion of their troops were not actually French but colonial recruits who fought not for France but for the hope that their service might get their colonized home countries concessions from France after the war.
The Communists on the other hand do fit the idea of a "resistance/freedom fighter" and fought from day-one till the Nazi's were gone. The problem here is that De Gaulle (and his western allies) hated Communists and in no way wanted to give them the kind of political leverage being the actual resistance entailed.
Part of the reason for de Gaulle proclaiming the myth that every French citizen was a brave guerrilla instead of someone who meekly submitted besides saving national face, was to take the wind out from the communists.

>>2963011
This. Also de Gaulle certainly did nothing to invent or prop up the resistance given that a large portion of it was communist and another large portion of it was far-right (the traditional far-right, not the nazi one). De Gaulle prefered to emphasize the overseas regular French troops that were under his command.

Because it's too advanced for stupid humans.

Same reason you don't see leaders wearing naval style coats and three piece suits literally everywhere. It just grew out of fashion and also more American fashions became popular for both leaders and common people which phased out European style clothing.

That's not a problem. You just need to get them interested, and the youth at least have a greater interest now in their culture so there is hope.
