>when you realize you realize the ancient Israelite kingdom established in the Bible was polytheistic and Yahweh was only their chief deity
How do I rectify this fact with my Christian beliefs?
>>2447127
The same way you rectify all the other inconsistencies between the OT and the NT, like how God simultaneously promises that the Mosiatic Covenant will never be abrogated but it's supposed to be replaced wholesale with Jesus, or how nobody can live by the strictures of the Law despite God promising that it's "not too hard for you".
Use your imagination man. Or whatever apologetics you rely upon.
>>2447127
Yahweh ≠ God
Yahweh = Demiurge = Angra Mainyu
The same way Hindu's took a bunch of beliefs and made it one. Christianity is a union of beliefs from a large period of time. Only protacucks take it literal.

Great means large

Just started this today, coincidentally.
>>2446204
Correct answer.
I would really like an in-depth book about the medieval commune, particularly in northern Italy, its origin, the causes of them coming to exist, their development, and so on
>>2445795

Has any historical society ever tried to farm humans?
like...for food? I mean cannibalistic societies have existed, but none that I know of farmed people like cattle.
>>2445793
All societies are people farms.
>>2445793
Aztecs are the closest possible example, taking vassals Just for the sake of fueling their insatiable thirst for human blood and meat
Balkanpill me on the vlachs /his/

Greedy folk. Their women can make magic.
The actual intelligible descendants of Getae and Dacian peoples that inhabited the regions of Wallachia and Moldavia.
There's some scholarly confusion as to their direct intelligible origin, because, just as with many ethnic peoples in the Balkans, the Grecian sources only mention them quite late, so it creates a dissonance in our understanding of their origin.
Two most popular theories are they migrated akin to the Magyars to Moldavia and inhabited the estuary basins of the Danube, coming into dominating Wallachia and Moldavia proper; the other theory, that they were always endemic, but different from the "Dacians"
As far as I'm concerned, Romanians are Vlachs. The former is merely a modern, revisionist endonym once becoming francophiles. The old appelation is largely defunct in Romania to this day. Though, the similarities betwixt the culture of the former and the latter, is so evidently the same.
>>2445903
Vlachs are migratory Romanians.
Why were the finns so retarded? No one else in europe were uncivilised for such a long time, and they only got civilised when the swedes arrived
>>2445548
What's the definition of civilized here?
Written language?
>>2445585
They didn't have that, they didn't have working infrastructure or anything resembling an advanced societu. There are no historical records about finnish culture and/or beliefs.
>>2445607
Well there were roads, villages, manufacture of wood and metal products and tight connections to international trade networks.
Nothing comparable to the Southern European civilization that Germanics had began to imitate though.
Scandinavians had been copycatting Italians even before Christian times.

What's left for someone who believes in God in an era in which traditional religions have lost credibility?
I'm thinking about Deism. But a purely deistic God seems indifferent to worship and morality, and therefore Deism seems pointless...
>>2445251
Create your own cult and use your powerful will to create a massive following, then use your newfound power to destroy the old faiths and become the new dominant world religion.

Time's a wasting. Do you have the will?
I can't help but think how retarded the Nazis were. And that they were maybe a plant, just there to make a mess with no chance of winning.
What were some key locations that the Nazis had to hold in order to have a chance of winning?
1. Suez Canal for sure. Greatly slow resources/men coming from Asia.
2.
>>2445237
Germany
2. Los Alamos nuclear research facility
You're overthinking it. They were, in fact, "retarded," and therefore had no chance of winning. There's no scenario where it's likely the Third Reich could defeat the UK, USSR and US among other allies. No scenario.
How useful would had been massive air raids involving chemical weapons?
For example if Tokyio firebombings had been done with mustard gas
In my opinion it would had been a 99% killing rate in a single night
Maybe this thread could cut forever the "what if usa hadnt had nukes" meme

In WWI chemical weapons were dispersed alongside wide flat countryside against soldiers using gas masks
Now think about dispersing these gases from above against a high density urban city without any type of protection

Nasty, nasty, nasty shit. But unlike nyooks they are only useful against unprepared civilian population.

broke away from yugoslavia, then got embargoed by greece because they were butthurt by their choice in name, then suffered economic crisis when yugoslavia collapsed, then suffered economic crisis when the kosovo crisis happened, then stayed as a developing meme country where their honor guard wears literally paper machete hoplite armor clinging to a heritage that is not theirs.
you have to remember that they came into existence in 1993, thats when most people here on 4chan were born. and most of FYROM's lifetime has been in economic downturn.

What's the top 15 most influential/powerful philisophical schools of thought?
Not stoicism, for sure.
You made this shitty thread last week kid, fuck off.
In the current year?

Utilitarianism
Post-modernism

Platonism and it's variants is still king of course, so I guess that's 6. Feel free to knock one off.
