This is mostly a sociological thing desu

That being said, I think it is. Half of it has no firm basis in reality and can be chalked down to single mothers simpky not knowing how to raise their kids.

No, it's psychiatric. This belongs on /sci/ because we're talking about a measurable and inheritable mental disorder.

Probably because the whole literal-metaphor dichotomy didn't exist at the time.

What you're reading in Genesis is basically a mixture of what is meant to be literal and poetic. The two hadn't been seperated and wouldn't be for millenia to come

>>2671387
Who cares about what existed at the time though? God could've written it anyway he wanted it to knowing how the future would be.

>>2671409

How do you know He didn't?

It's absolute but not objective. It's relative to what God decide.

If your answer to this question is "yes", you're an imperialist.

My morals are my own. But they are absolute.

this board was a mistake

>>2671198
It's not nearly as safe. Go look up Savanarola.

>>2671198
He had a good justification. One controls fear but one cannot control love as it operates on too many variables.

Therefore it stands to reason the wise prince chooses that which he can control.

>>2671030
Who is he?

Why the fuck does everyone on this board start threads about individuals without naming them?

Willem Cornelisz Schouten, A member of my family, was part of the Dutch East India company (VOC). He discovered (explored) some islands once, and he was the first to sail the cape horn route, and pass through the traight of Maggelan.

He was also arrested for this, because the VOC saw it as an infringement on their monopoly on trade with the spjce islands.

And inuits don't even get all those social privileges that the other natives get because they never whined about it. White devil has successfully intermarried another inuit bloodline into extinction.

Close to perfection ideologically

He's not loved anymore since the reddit invasion of radcents and commies. And especially the radcents actually they're the biggest problem.

He is risen indeed!

Big deal. There was that dude that revived in Elisha's tomb, and they didn't even bother to write down his name.

He got rekt and beheaded but for some reason appeals to the edgelords on this Chinese waterboarding forum

>>2670810
also why is he made out to be "le defender of Yurooop" when, i mean, he lost. Is it an A for effort sort of thing?

>>2670810
He saved his people from Ottoman slavery and rape for several decades. He's a hero.

Understandable.

They didn't know the Bulgars the fucking savages they were, would for once defend Constantople instead of mindlessly attacking it

This is totally possible. Even today, over 500 years later, the percentage of Christians in Egypt is nearly 23% of the population. It's a pretty commonly accepted notion that, while the actual Islamic Coonquests were rapid, the conversion was not. It took a long time for places to become majority muslim. I remember that it took hundereds of years for Persia to become fully Muslim. Spain and India never became so despite their centuries of occupation. Egypt, with one of the highest populations of any region in the world, would take a long time to convert.

I like to think that part of the reason is that the Coptic and Orthodox churches still felt very legitimate as the Patriarch of Constantinople still sat in power. This idea is helped by the fact that the switch to muslim majority happened on the same year Condtantinople fell to the Ottomans, but I'm basically pulling it out of my ass.

>>2670658
It sounds doubtful. The Umayyads genocided huge numbers of Christians, perhaps as many as 3/4 of all Christians worldwide were massacred by the Umayyads by 750 AD.

>>2670658
Majority Christian yes, but split into various sects, some orthodox, some catholic, some what become copts, miasphyites, dualists and gnostics.
The main reason for the slow conversion was despite Christians having to pay extra taxes, the Sunni and later Shia rulers put the death penalty on conversions.
So the demographic change should be seen less as Christians converting, but Christians dying out due to starvation. It is an undeniable fact that the Mohammedean conquests further desertified Arabia and Egypt, but whether this was a deliberate act is still disputed.

Autist who tried forcing his personal God on the rest of his subjects.

Egyptian pharaoh who was so terrified by the stories his grandfather told him of the Hebrew Exodus that he left the Egyptian vassal state of Canaan to be conquered by God's chosen people.

Barely talked about where? In general? In general the only two figures in France from that period who are talked about are Napoleon and possibly Robespierre.

>>2670379
Thats exactly what Im talking about, its all about Napoleon and Robespierre around here when I think hes up there in terms of influence,

>>2670394
Where/what is 'around here'?

Napoleon and Robespierre are popular figures because there's a great deal of popular controversy surrounding them which Sieyes(though he may be a controversial figure) lacked.
