>Upon encountering a Moor who denied the divinity of Jesus, he challenged him to a duel to the death, and ran him through with his sword.
why aren't more christians like this today?
>>2145121
Because they have been cured from their retardation. It's a miracle.
>>2145144
what's retarded about killing Moors who deny the divinity of Jesus?
>religion of peace
On a scale of 1-10 how badly do you think you'd be able to rek an old timey pugilist if you went back in time and used modern boxing techniques on them?
>>2144976
Depends, is the fight bare knuckled or gloved?

Whats the outcome of both?

Can I get some Carter apologists up in here? what did he do right?
>>2144833
Nothing
Forward-thinking, thawed the public to progressive ideas
He made a good speech about the moral decay of the nation and how the people need to stop relying on the the government to fix everything
Were his ideas shit?
>>2144655
He clearly did contribute something. His ideas are discussed to this day and contrasted with other schools of economics.
>>2144725
>His ideas are discussed to this day and contrasted with other schools of economics.
No they aren't. They were literally ignored and irrelevant
>>2144655
Classical economics were turbo butthurt because of the banter and 95% of them chose to ignore him without really discussing his theory.
Things only changed in the last 50% with Marx appearing in the curriculum and such.
What was the most devilish act in history?

Was Jesus' original name Yeshu?
Yeshu: Yemach Shemo Vezichro (meaning 'May his name and memory be obliterated')
Yeshua
it was Jésus, pendejo
Yeshua, as in Joshua
He was Josh Christ
Does anyone else relate with the Haka? I'm not a New Zealander, but it feels so powerful and genuine, even after the Maori.

In my school we had a ton of different Polynesians on the American football team who did it every game.
Idk I just associate it with meat head jocks.

Before the British Empire, it is a rather impudent and grotesque display and it is nothing compared to the art, science, and might of Europa. It's just an uncivilized dance, easily waved away by the hand of progress, blown over by the winds of change, and ought to have drowned in the colonial wave if not given a life raft by hopeless romantics.
Ah yes, The Barbary slave trade.
Why is that this subject is seemingly very much ignored in the West?
Apparently it was legal to kill Turks in Iceland up to the 70's after they abolished the law.
Cause of Barbary corsairs loyal to the Ottoman empire raiding and taking locals as slaves.
most people tend to study and know much more about their own nation's history, which is why there is a great deal more known about the atlantic save trade by the layman in the west.
If, for example, you asked a Tunisian and an Englishman to tell you about the history of slavery I'm sure they would each focus on different things.
Now then, what would you like to discuss about the barbary slave trade?
>>2144040
The Barbary corsairs raided Iceland?!
Fuck that's cool.

this is literally what complex ideas are- they are groups of simple ideas.
philosophers do say things which when deeply considered appear to be very simple and obvious, but so do mathematicians. there is nothing wrong with this
How do you deal with fanatics? I was arguing with a Muslim and the topic of befriending believers came up. I said that according to many hadith and Quran verses it was not allowed and they asked for proof. I gave them the verses, opinions of Muslim scholars, tafsirs, hadith, etc. And every time they just said I was wrong and taking it out of context. Same went for verses telling Muslims to fight unbelievers. They did not accept that the sunnah told them to do that, and they did not really accept abrogation except in the case of alcohol.
How do you reason with fundamentalists? Apparently using their own sources doesn't even work.
Also, this isn't a bash Islam thread. We have enough of those. I'm just wondering how to debate people who deny what Islam is or religious fanatics in general. Pic related, it's what she seriously believed.
Its basically impossible unless you get them to deconstruct their own emotional and mental blocks.
>hurrr how I argue with irrational people that already made up their minds and have perfected mental gymnastics
this is a shit thread op

And here it is, the main reason quranists all over the world sit perplexed under live candles, shunned by their tribe so they end up becoming poetic hermits.
Shit is like the enigma machine and it doesn't matter if you are a native Arabic speaker or not, since everyone has their own opinion on how to interpret it, with our without hadifh refrences.
John C. Calhoun here.

I was curious, I've always heard about the historic military superiority of England and their many successes, but I was unable to find any specific examples of such, so what are some good examples of England winning a war without having superior numbers or relying heavily on allies?
Excluding the many colonial conquests
>>2143811
>Excluding the many colonial conquests
Then no
England never won any european war without allies
Spain, France, Russia, Germany...all of them did but not England

How do atheists consider themselves moral when morality doesn't exist in their worldview?
>dude just don't do anything to people you wouldn't want done to yourself
Utterly juvenile.
>>2143708
Explain Buddhist ethical and moral precepts, then.
Morality isn't transcendent, nor does it have to be.
Britain is the most historically significant country. Face it, we speak English, their influence has been the most prominent than any other culture in existence. And France tags on behind like the bitchboy it is. Prove me wrong, Francelovers/Britainhaters.

You should care.

We speak English and are anglicized because of America, not UK.
Do you think people in, let say, South America learn English because the British conquered India and Niger? No. It's because of USA influence.
