go back to r/atheism with your 15-years old kid tier reasoning
>>2438378
Viewing things beyond a materialist/empirical scope would drive people away from atheism instead of toward it, no?
Should the supernatural aspects of religion be discussable on /x/?
They'd allow religious posters to bring 'evidence' to bear on religion arguments. On the other hand, it could set a dangerous precedent.
*/his/, not /x/. Freudian slip.
>>2438289
We should just have a board dedicated to theology and mysticism.
>tfw so much unexplainable, miraculous, documented shit has happened leaving scientists and doctors boggled but people are too reluctant to talk about it on /his/ because it feels inappropriate and almost unworthy
>>2438335
Wouldn't that instantly get invaded by reddit-tier trolls, fedora thumpers and /x/ roleplayers?
Is it even possible to escape the cave?
A modern understanding of sense-experience and knowledge says no, but we should keep trying.
>>2438206
It actually says "I don't know."
The modern understanding will never escape because it can not truly ask a question because it will not allow itself to accept any answer.
If we are to ascend beyond the wretched part of humanity that even the moderns do not tolerate, we must ascend beyond the modern.
Leave it behind.

Few questions about Saxons /his/ (probably later period ones)
Did they paint their shields?
If they did paint their shields what designs did they paint on them?
Did they attempts to create uniform designs on their shields, especially for the higher-tier Thanes/hearth guard?
Did hearth guard/warriors have standardized clothing colours (proto-uniforms?) or were they free to put whatever they wanted?
Did Saxon Kingdoms actually use the emblems we associate with them as flags or even on their shields (St Albans cross, Dragon of Wessex etc)? Pic kind related
General Saxon thread I guess
Are there not enough Bongs online atm to answer me?

When did you become redpilled and realized the current wars in the Middle East are all about the erdication of Islamic esotericism?

Give me a quick run down on Islam's hidden secrets.
Ireland is the greatest country and intellectual and cultural patrimony in human history, prove me wrong.
* Had a unique and highly idiosyncratic culture, languages, traditions and legal system that developed independently to the rest of Europe
* Never conquered by the Roman Empire.
* Preserved the written word and religious texts when the rest of Europe was too busy stabbing each other while covered in pigshit and illiterate popes barely transcended temporal lordship. Copied thousands of manuscripts and send missionaries across Europe that brought back the light of knowledge, including philosophers like Johannes Scotus who taught kings and brought civilization forward for the first time since the early Christian writers.
* Introduced rhyme into the European poetic tradition.
* Had modern legal institutions and rights like divorce enshrined in the Brehon law. Barely practiced slavery while it formed the dominant economic base of most of the world.
* Held out and retained its unique culture and language against 700 years of brutality by England and betrayal by the Church
* Won its freedom by will of resistance and then proceeded to furnish Western culture with its greatest linguistic minds, from Wilde to Joyce to Beckett.
* Gave an equally great contribution in the sciences, in Tyndall, Boole and Boyle.
Has any other one nation contributed so much to civilization and yet been so mistreated and maligned by the envious, petty and ignorant of the world?
Bump for answers.

>never conquered by the Roman Empire
This is true, but only because nobody gave a shit about you. At that time in history you were running around in nightgowns with the druids, fucking sheep, had culture on par with the most primitive of African societies (even Africa was more civilized because northern Africa was colonized), you had shit technology, and you sat around in circles chanting to the green man or whatever other retarded gods you had, etc. Conquering Ireland would be a liability, not an asset. Same reason why they built a wall to keep the Scots out of Rome. You were so barbaric and uncivilized that Rome, who dealt with Germaniggers were viewing you as useless. Let that sink in.

>chanting to the green man
Why were ancient Egyptians so such?
They literally got conquered by any foreign force who set their mind to do so.
>Nubians
>Greeks
>Romans
>Muslim Kebabs
It blows my mind how they get so much dick sucking and praise yet they were so weak. It also blows my mind how an empire lasted so long when it was so vulnerable to foreign forces, like how the fuck was that possible?
Because muh meme pyramids, muh meme mummies and muh meme mythology. Egypt is overrated as fuck and the rest of ancient Mesopotamia is severely underrated. Sumerian architecture and city-planning was better than Egyptian and they developed written language before them as well.
If you're around for 3,000 years, and you get invaded every 500 years, that adds up to a lot of invasions.

"I have just described are much more exceptional in the negro than in the Anglo-Saxon race, and that average negroes possess too little intellect, self-reliance, and self-control to make it possible for them to sustain the burden of any respectable form of civilization without a large measure of external guidance and support. The Chinaman is a being of another kind, who is endowed with a remarkable aptitude for a high material civilization."

What the fuck is up with that picture OP?
State propaganda, like all ruling ideas. Imperial power has to be justified, and with proper centralized states replacing the old feudal structures ideas like race and nation were the perfect substitute for God.

People have always recommended me Vinland Saga but I fucking hate the circlejerk over muh viking super elite warriors, should I read it?
>>2437051
Yes. The story is mostly contained to Norse on Norse conflict, so it's less about the Vikings being super soldiers and more about personal revenge and the politics of 11th century Danes.
>>2437051
Don't so much as an anti-German that you can't even read a simple manga about htem.
>FDR was one of the best presidents ever
uhmm sweetie..your forgetting the best president is Hoover

>T-tell me some interesting facts about nordics anon
they didn't actually use horned helmets
that's because the catholics saw them as devil-like and therefore decipted them as being horned like the devil himself
>>2436831
Viking is a verb, not a substantive.
>>2436850
Not true, the horned helmet shit started during romanticist pagan revivalism in 19th century Scandinavia. Someone dug up a Celtic bronze age horned helmet somewhere and LARPers assumed Vikings wore it too for whatever reason.
