Are there any reasons Christians and Jews don't sacrifice goats to Yahweh any more?
Before you get too butthurt Christians, yes, I am aware of the New Covenant and that you have a theological basis for claiming you don't *have* to any more.
However it is pretty clear Yahweh likes animal sacrifice so why not do it to earn some brownie points?
>>2455611
The jews did that.
>>2455617
Yes. Jesus was a Jew and Christianity is based on Judaism.
They stopped taking their religion seriously. The only Abrahamic religion that is currently taken seriously by its followers is Islam.
What do you think about this? I'm 50/50 about believing the official version, since it does not seem to make sense when you watch the zapruder film.

The final bullet appears to hit at an angle that would be impossible when the shooter is behind JFK.
Does it matter anymore?
It clearly looks like he is being shot from the front and right hand side, yet Oswald was directly behind.
Also the gun Oswald used was a piece of shit which could not reliably have made that shot.
Also very convenient this guy is allowed to stroll into a police station and shoot Oswald
I have seen it. The darkness that awaits us all. It felt strangely familiar. Like i've known it from somewhere else.
But thats still quite some time away. Meanwhile, we play our little games. Games that are meant to make us feel relevant. They fill up our time. Of which i'm not sure why we have any at all. It doesn't even matter.
With a little help of our fellow players, we manage to forget the meaninglessness of our lives any just keep pretending that it matters.
We see it every day. We crush a bug on the pavement on our way to work, we see a dead tree fall down in the forest, we spray the weeds with deadly chemicals.
And still we ''just fail to realize" the lack of purpose to those deaths , also of those lives lived up to the point of death.
Some of us don't. I've been like this since my near death experience.
From the on, i can't stand the banality of everyday life, let alone of getting ordered around at work etc. When life itself seems meaningless, how the hell am i supposed to participate in all the trivialities of everyday life?
How do i bluepill myself? Should i even?
I'm fucking lost. Help me /his/

Who is the most documented person in history?

Depends how you define "documented".
Caesar, George Washington, Qin Shi Huang all fit the bill.
Thanks to the Jews, Hitler.

Could we get a /his/ humor/feels thread? My computer crashed an I lost everything
>that meme
1)Venice was just transport
2)Their ships were *made* to land at egypt, not for port storming
3)The Crusaders wouldn't pay them money, and fucked up the 'shut up and look tough' role they agreed to play for Zara
4)A exiled former co-Emperor promised them a shit load of money to cover their losses if they diverted
5)Both Greek and Latin sources both make note of the fact that the doge /tried to negotiate with the Emperor/ before a party of Latin knights ruined it
6)Enrico wasn't blinded by Byzantines
7)Enrico had spent most of his life being a good will ambassador to Byzantium
8)The 'he plotted against the empire!' meme is a butthurt greek making a guess about someone he never met
9)Papacy blames the Venetians to escape blame
10)Napoleon spread the bad history since Venice pissed him off
It was the Latin commands who dunnit.
t.Byzantiboo who gets pissed off at the artificial hate imposed between the Empires otherwise MOST LOYAL SUBJECTS and the state.
The real enemy are the Germans/Latin Knights and the Normans in Sicily, not Venice.
>>2431984
He should've said he could either attack Egypt or the Turks.
>>2432014
1) No the Venetians were the only thing involving the Crusaders in the Byzantine politics
2) No, literally built a battle fleet
3) yeah
4) yeah
5) Yes, but there are generally some attempts at negotiation before battles. Dandolo wanted to resolve it cheaply but was completely fine with fighting too
6)yeah
7) Yes, with the king who was just imprisoned and mutilated
8) True
9) Papacy literally had nothing to do with it, they excommunicated the fuckers right after they heard what happened to Zara
10) Never heard this, could be true though.
The real fuck up were the despots running the Byzantine Empire not being able to contain their instability to themselves. Notice how the Byzantines lasted just as long as the Crusade fad and Mongol rape train were distracting the Muslims. Probably would've lasted longer if they hadn't spoiled relations with the First Crusade and actually gave military assistance like they promised.
>>2432044
1)What is Alexios IV Angelos
2) See John H. Pryor, ‘The Venetian fleet for the Fourth Crusade and the diversion of the crusade to Constantinople’
in The experience of crusading. Vol. 1, Western approaches, ed, by Marcus Bull and Norman Housley, pp. 121-
122.
5) Fighting was the only option left. You're in the *middle* of now hostile territory, local latins have been kicked out of the city, and you still have fuck all supplies or money. It was siege the city or get killed/captured/starve.
9)Not saying the Pope is to blame. They just add to the 'VENICE IS AT FAULT' fire afterwards, just in case anyone suspects them (not that they did anything wrong)
10)Yep
>gave military assistance
They were going to. The Emperor was literally marching an army to help the 1st Crusade. Then some Latins that had given up ran into his army and told him the Crusade had failed and all was lost.
So he went '...well, there goes that. Best go home then'.
Of course, the Crusades didn't know this, so just saw it as him betraying them.
its only 600 years old
race never existed before that, no one saw people in different racial categories before europeans created it
>>2459335
Read Herodotus. The very first historic text disproves your point.
how much of that is a result of the rise of science being aplied to humans
race not a man made idea that has no basis in reality.There are races that are more prone to disease or being fat due to how they evolved.
I'm not saying the ideas they had about races were not influnced by prejudice but to say there is no such thing as "race" is just stupid.
but you probably are just shitposting or baiting aren't you?
The racism is a symptom of a larger problem of lack of empathy for fellow human beings.
The answer to solve this mental struggle is to think that people are subhuman so you can justify hating them for a logical reason instead of an irrational reason.
If times are great then people don't see a need to indulge in their base fears, but when they are told constantly by media that everything is bad and we need "strong tough" leaders to do something about all those "bad hombres" then they give in to their instincts and meme up the hate.

None of the gospels actually mention Jesus at the temple hitting anyone.
Why did Ireland cling on to Catholicism whilst England, Scotland and Wales dropped it easily?
After 1066 and 1169 the British isles' four nations were all Catholic as almost the entirety of Europe was.
Following the likes of Luther and Henry VIII, protestantism spead easily to England, Wales and Scotland (who was independent at the time) but Ireland refused to do so?
Why? Despite being on a different island surely they couldn't have had their own identity and customs? When I think of the difference between the Irish and English today the only thing that springs to mind is religion. If you remove that then what difference is there between them?
Why did Ireland cling on to Catholicism?
Autistic denial about the fact that they're just English rapebabies.
>>2458994
*French
When Britain first invaded Ireland their King was French, spoke French and he invaded with French forces.
That's why Irish people are so much better looking than English PIGS.

Why did Mexico develop a unique culture while the US didn't? The only thing that I can think of as US """"culture""""" are rap and niggers doing stupid stuff.The rest was just imported and half assed and wasn't even changed

All of Latin America is just Spain to me desu.
I don't see a reason why they shouldn't form a confederation with Spain.
