If I brought contemporary music back to different times in classical antiquity, what do you think they would like and dislike? If you don't think ancient Greeks or Romans in any era would appreciate modern music, what is the latest style of music you think they would?

dance music with an emphasis on major key would probably be appreciated by any culture if played often and people are encouraged to dance to it. a beat and dance is fairly universally appreciated.

singing during music can come off as strange or disturbing to isolated cultures, and could easily to historical ones.

a skilled analog synth composer's music would blow someone like bach's mind, stereophonic composition included.

Pfew, almost did a good work today when some lady asked which direction Salvationville was, but then I realised I just founded a religion that says you only have to believe in Christ to get into heaven, so I just spat in her face and stomped her stomach.

Christ told the apostles to follow his example: "As the Father has sent me, even so I send you" (John 20:21). Just as the apostles were to carry Christ’s message to the whole world, so they were to carry his forgiveness: "Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 18:18).

This power was understood as coming from God: "All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation" (2 Cor. 5:18). Indeed, confirms Paul, "So we are ambassadors for Christ" (2 Cor. 5:20).

Let's have an open forum. I'll original pose questions and ideas that, perhaps, you haven't considered. You feel free to do the same.
50 posts and 3 images submitted.

Let's begin. Idea #1.

Racism has always existed and still rampant. But for this point let's set racism, stereotypes and all that aside to consider a valid question.

When African slaves were brought to North America, was their evolutionary process disrupted and if so what are the implications?

That's not the favorite question that's been in my mind this evening but it is the one that was stuck there when I created this thread.

I will have more that are not of a cultural or racial nature.
>>
And ask me something. This is my first thread over here on /his/ so hello and give me some ones. Challenge me with a really good philosophical question.
>>
Here's one more to help get it started.

Can anyone here identify the thing that makes an obsession "an obsession". Why is it, for example, that people come to 4chan with a particular fetish and they want it over and over...sometimes even imposing it on others in threads where it doesn't fit?

Tom cruise in Valkyrie was a mistake from the beginning. Terrible movie overall.

New Hawksawridge was cringeworthy. Andrew Garfield in a movie about WW2 was almost as bad as that new Spiderman movie that came out a few years ago.

Who was that with again?

Oh wait...
>>
>>2328694

I kinda liked Shy Laybuff in it though haha.

But as far as it being a movie I knew when I saw Brad Pit in the Trailer that it was gona be a Hollywood bullshit movie rather than accurately depicted.

I can't hate the movie.

It is but the real posters stay away from it.

I still come on these kinds from time tl time to try and spark sense into people saying "its bait dont go for it!" Or "fuck off back to /pol/." But somehow people just ignor and still feed into it.

Alas my faith for /his/ dwindles

>However, trolls are also attested as looking much the same as human beings, without any particularly hideous appearance about them, but living far away from human habitation and generally having "some form of social organization" — unlike the rå and näck, who are attested as "solitary beings". According to John Lindow, what sets them apart is that they are not Christian, and those who encounter them do not know them.

>Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls became beings in their own right, where they live far from human habitation, are not Christianized.

Are the legends of Scandinavian trolls just corrupted accounts of Norse pagans that rejected Christianization?

Yes ofc. The norse were notorious for despising their own religion and coming up with, and converting to christianity before it reached them.

>converting to christianity before it reached them.

I'm talking about troll folklore from after the Christianization of Scandinavia.

Maybe, it would not be unlike the Tuatha de Dannan of Ireland being pre-Indo-European peoples who retreated to woods and hills and literally became elves.
