If they aren't then nobody is.

You know I could flip that question on its head, right? Are Protestants Christians? How can they be Christians if they get to found their own Churches? What arrogance! To break away from the Church founded by Christ Himself!

They believe it is a Abrahamic place of worship because....get this, a tribe of Jews that settled in the area told them it was that after they observed the ritual preformed by the pagans in Medina.

It's just a focal point and a place of pilgrimage. Muslim's believe god is omnipresent, invisible etc etc. Not some rock in a box.

Keep in mind, they used to practice literally.

weird cult,

Is there anything in the Old Testament at all that supports the trinity?

It's never explained by the people who say they believe it. How can anyone else possibly explain it?

>What was the actual purpose of this thing ?
Killing.
>I mean, obviously it was used to stab people
There, you answered your own question.
>but when was it used ?
Its usage began in the late 15th century, and it (along with the sabre, which was used by cavalry, and designs based on it and the sabre) was used until swords dropped out of use.
>I don't see how it could be used by soldiers in a battle, so was it made for dueling ? maybe it's for civilian self defense ? Maybe the city guards carried these ?
It was used in battle as a sidearm (with the main weapon being a polearm or a firearm), and mostly fell out of use with the invention of the bayonet. It was also used for all the other things you describe.

Literally just go look it up on wikipedia or go watch Matt Easton's videos about rapiers.

This is literally a question that could be googled.

The rapier developed from the side-sword, which was essentially an arming sword with a complex hilt. Rapiers for battlefield use were generally a bit sturdier. During the 17th century, rapiers became narrower and longer, focussing on the thrust. They were primarily carried for civilian self-defence. They were also used for duelling (especially under the premise that at that time most duels were far less regulated and 'institutionalised' and happened on the spot and were thus essentially a case of civilian self-defence).

Young adults are inevitably the least invested in the society within which they agitate. Young adult men just happen to be more willing to kill themselves for a cause than pragmatic women.

Most cultures have long standing traditions and assumptions that define what should be done and what should be looked out for. When they collapse, people gravitate to strongmen or authoritarian ideologies because they have no idea what's going on so they need someone or something to protect them from ALL possible dangers.

Actual liberalism, or American "liberalism"? The American kind just leads to a slow and pitiful collapse.

Well, liberalism has essentially lost in place like the Middle East, hasn't it? After ww2 you could see places like Iran and Syria becoming very liberal, open, and western in a lot of senses. Now however a lot of those ideals have been heavily reigned in.

However, there is also the phenomena of the electromagnetic field which hypothetically could connect all of these events with a unified force, therefore solving the "binding problem". However, we run into a similar problem because the electromagnetic field is quantized as discrete entities, electromagnetic waves.

Although, let us treat the electromagnetic field in classical terms and see what we can learn. The first problem is that why should electromagnetic forces produce consciousness? It seems that random perturbations in a field has no good reason for producing awaneness, so that the electromagnetic field theory runs into its own "hard problem." What would make a pattern of energy so special as to produce awareness? There is also experimental evidence that shows that changes in the EMF do not produce changes in awareness, which is the opposite of what we should expect if it where the case that the EMF is awareness. Finally, there is the problem of infromational processing. How is one part(current of electromagnetic force) informed of all other parts? How does information travel between parts of the field? They don't. It would have to be a non-local interaction that can explain the informational structure of awareness. We run into a conundrum where our current understanding of science can not produce a physical system which adequately explains the phenomena of consciousness.

>>2090647

However, we can use the flaws of the brain(and EMF) argument to produce what we should expect from a physical system that explains consciousness. Consciousness is a self-refrential knowing, that is to say, you know that you know and this process is contained in a substantial unity. Much like how computers know certain programs or are informed of them, your consciousness is a process that is informed of its own informational processesing. This informational processing is integrated harmoniously. Looking at it from a reductionist stand point, a single act of knowing informs a congolomeration of knowing of itself and simultaneously is informed by a congolmeration of knowing. Each facet of knowing would interact with all other facets of knowing, and all facets of knowing would interact with each. This process is also physically unified through a substratum.

Investigating this substratum produces a knowable physical system that explains consciousness. First and foremost would be the soul. The soul would be a monad(simple physical unit) with an abstract nature of awareness much like how electrons have the abstract nature of a negative charge. We can also try to use the current known phenomena and invent a new phenomena which is made up of these, which possesses the qualities we are looking for. It could be a super-imposed wave of quantumwaves which are all "entangled non-locally" (as posited by Karl Pribram) or it could be a sublte-energy field which unifies all of the electromagnetic waves into a seamless whole, possessing the integrated informational processing we have come to expect.

>>2090653

When we come to a crossroad of hypothesises, we often turn to Occam's razor. Normally we try to use old phenomena to explain new phenomena but as the phenomena we are analyzing are all new physical phenomena, occam's razor doesn't help much yet. Then we try to use the most simple and elegant explanation. That, inmy opinion, that would be the soul. I think it is a simpler structure (but would require another mental monad to connect it to the brain), and it is certainly the most elegant which fits the greater design of the universe. Trying to use the other phenomena, complicates matters and does not have as much explanatory power.

What is the purpose of the brain then? The brain could be a manner of empowering the soul with energy.

That is why I believe in the soul.

that's not an easy question, anon

Why didn't contemporaries mention Hannibal or Boudicca or Vosenios or Celtillus

It's rare to find a contemporary mention of anyone in ancient or early medieval literature
