Doesn't Jesus' sacrifice prove that blood magic is real?
Blood as a powerful magic reagent turns up again and again in Abrahamic lore, in the story of passover for example, or Jesus telling his followers to drink his blood. God rejects Cain's offering of food but accepts Abel's offering of blood. Again and again through the bible he demands blood sacrifice to perform his magic, mostly animal blood but also human blood on more than one occasion.
Jesus needing to be sacrificed for god to do magic is just a continuation of that idea that god needs blood to perform magic, only this time the magic that god is able to do is much more powerful since the sacrificial lamb - literally the lamb is god - is a much greater offering than a mere animal or human.
Why else would Jesus need to die other than god needing his blood for magic? There's no reason for Jesus to die.
So blood magic has to be accepted as real by christians, and the implication is that blood can be sacrificed to divine beings in exchange for power e.g. to Satan.

What sacrifice? He had the power to resurrect himself so his death was completely meaningless.

Being tortured and suffering a horrific and prolonged execution. Why would he do that if it was meaningless?

Was Patton really an incarnate of great generals and warriors in the past?
He claimed he was one of Napoleon's marshals, was a Carthaginian soldier, was said to be a general of Hannibal's and even a Roman Soldier.
Could this have been true or was Patton just a "great" general but fucking insane?

Is Zoroastrianism the most ancient monotheistic religion we have historical accounts of?

No, Judaism is, and Zoroastrianism was also polytheistic before contact with Judaism.

>>2455112

>>2455100
No.
Akhenaten Amenhotep IV was the first to introduce monotheism amongst the Egyptian against the wishes of the priestly class. His wife Nefertiti continued the tradition but it fell out of favour after their death and obscurity from the records.
His reign was 1351–1334 BC, almost 300 years earlier than the purported myth of Exodus.
Zoroastrianism has roots in the same time period of 1st millennium BCE with finalized form completed around 8-7th century BCE and noticed by Europeans and Middle-East historians about 6-5th century BCE.
>>2455112
Judaism was polytheistic up until 536 BC. There are all kinds of historical and archaeological evidences for that. And Judaism discovered heaven and hell from the Zoroastrians not the other way around.

Is it true that had the germans advanced on to moscow instead of that completely dumb kiev move, they would've been able to capture moscow and even possibly leningrad due to the rail hub being in german hands?

No. The Kiev move was necessary, and even if you think it wasn't, the shifting of troops southward provoked the disastrous (from the Soviet perspective) Roslavl-Novozybkov Offensive. If you don't go towards Kiev, nevermind what those troops down south will do, the Soviets actually have heavier defenses towards the end of August than they did in early October.
>And don't give me meme "muh flank" responses please.
Why not? It's a very important operational consideration.

Yes but the big prize was moscow and there was literally no real force in front of them, they could have steamrolled them while having bantz all the way into the kremlin. So why did they blow this opportunity?

How did the altright /pol/tard meme that Arabs aren't white? Arabs are caucasoids with a pigmented skin tone due to arid desert temperatures. Even the US census and all 19th century racialist books list Arabs as white and Caucasian. The 'Arabs aren't white' thing is started by neocons and jews.

Serious question, what exactly are the Aryans? Which modern nationalities are Aryans? Did Hitler claim that only Germans are descended from Indians or all Europeans are? Was he right?

Aryans are more or less gone except for the rare blonde and blue eyed people. However northern and central europe have a large portion of aryan blood mixed with other races.
The natsoc theory was by only allowing people with aryan blood to mate they could bring back the pure aryan race again.
Estonia to Brittanny and north and norway south to austria and switzerland are the areas with high aryan blood.
It was thought that only the aryan genetics would be able to guide humanity through the problems of the future: overpopulation, global warming etc.

He was not born at the time of Christ, thus he is in Hell or in Purgatory
