as a buddhist, dont read much. so many buddhist i have met specifically online are dogmatic about their beleifs because of what they read in suttras and stuff. just know that you shouldnt have attachment and meditate. if buddha could figure it out and have it all written out so can you. but probably not.no reason to read stuff.

Do Buddhists believe in deities in a literal sense? Or can someone be essentially an atheist and a Buddhist?

>>2595624
buddhism is an atheist religion. but there are some who think buddha is a god. hard to make an arguement for it though considering he saids hes not a god.
there are also demons in buddhism such as Mara. again some peopletake them literally others take it to symbolize mans anger/desire etc.
the great thing about buddhism is that if you can make a case for it and prove it and make it fact, then its fact and overrides some past shit.
the buddha welcomed challengers to his ideas and even asked of his followers to make sure he was correct in his visions during enlightment by teaching them how he got to enlightenment and in a way tried to reenact the experiment to confirm it. like how science will redo an experiment to assure a just conclusion.

tldr: they believe what they want, based on what they are able to argue for or against.

>what the fuck went wrong?

jews

Fascism is the only cohesive way for Europeans to defend themselves against the jews and the mud people of course they will demonize it.

>>2592773
even if jews were literally the reason kids dont learn about communism it doesn't even make any fucking SENSE because jews didn't get a lot of power until the 1980s

white people in america had like 40 fucking years to put communism into the textbooks

there's greater retardation at play here

Did rome not have boats??

Quality thread.

Somewhere, deep inside of me, i would like this question to be legitimate

They suffered some pretty big defeats in modern day Somalia. In other words, yes, you're technically correct

>If the Iliad is about Greek victory over the Trojans and the supposed "hero" is Achilles,

It isn't you retard. It's literally in the first fucking line what the Iliad is about; the conflict between Achilles and Agammemnon. The war is just a backdrop.

>He did literally nothing wrong moral-wise and was absolutely based.

That's also wrong. He's quite literally portrayed as a coward, needing a God to trick him to stand and fight and die like his fate demands.

> He only defeated Hector because of divine intervention.

If you haven't noted that Hector doesn't stand a chance, you haven't been reading very closely. The guy couldn't beat Ajax or Diomedes, and they're a lot weaker than Achilles.

Because a "hero" in greek meant something different then what it means today. The greek hero is a powerful, often semi-divine, doer of deeds. In any major conflict, both sides would have heroes. The moral character of the hero was based on things like martial prowess, and sometimes piety or loyalty. Whether he was self-controlled or compassionate [in short, whether he was Christian] was irrelevant to his status as a hero.

>Japanese civilians deserve to be vaporised
Yes. People who had no idea apart from being manipulated by the state deserve to be evaporated. Nice logic.

>implying it's not born of 1945 American propoganda.
I bet you believe they thought the emperor was divine and that was why they followed him.

Holy shit, end yourself.

>using foreign mercenaries as bodyguards

Has this ever not turned out disastrously in the end?

>>2587516
And how many Roman Emperors were betrayed by Roman bodyguards?

To begin, a somewhat un-lewd fact: Geishas did not perform sexual services, and were a distinct social group form that of the prostitute or courtesan. They only provided companionship and entertainment.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

>The ancient Greeks regarded the beard as a badge or sign of virility; in the Homeric epics, it had almost sanctified significance, and a common form of entreaty was to touch the beard of the person addressed.[18] It was shaven only as a sign of mourning; it was then instead often left untrimmed. A smooth face was regarded as a sign of effeminacy.[19] The Spartans punished cowards by shaving off a portion of their beards. From the earliest times, however, the shaving of the upper lip was not uncommon. Greek beards were also frequently curled with tongs.

What is that urban metrosexual image??

This is the main problem in history: rich people not sharing their wealth. Other problems would be solved in that one factor was in place.

>what is capitalism

The Emperors hoarded wealth, the Kings hoarded wealth, and now the bankers hoard their wealth. This has remained the key thing holding back the rest of humanity
