The Egyptians were actually very detailed record keepers, and we have no evidence of a Jewish captivity in Egypt.
despite having been a fedora for years.
Many factors pushed me in that direction. The US presidential campaign, the way it exposed the general corruption in the media and upper echelons of society. The bizzare passtimes of the elites, revealed by wikileaks...
In the middle of all of that, it became apparent to me that the most evil people in the world today have one thing in common, they always do the opposite of what Christianity teaches. You don't see Hillary Clinton's dubious friends desecrating the Quran in their edgy performances. So, if anything, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I've been listening to a lot of Youtube videos lately (mainly of an evangelical protestant persuasion, as there is more content in English that on current issues), and I generally agree with the message. Now I feel like I just need a little push to make take that final step.
Any any anon help me with that by sharing some material, experiences? Thanks.
>Having been a fedorah for many years
Dunnoh, people dont just become believers into something because it fancies them.
You either get born into it, slowly grow into or have some absolutely mindshattering experience that makes you faithful.
So that little push might be just asking for "how can I piss of libcucks with strenghtened morals?"
8chn /christian/ is a good place if you are genuine though, I see what you see but simply am unable to believe, be it christ or Zeus.
Can someone follow Bible's moral judgments without believing in all elements of that said Bible?
>>2047764
Sure thing brother im glad to see more and more people on 4chan being pushed over the edge by post-modern "normalcy".
>sharing some material?
Id love to man, so as far as books go Id highly recommend just reading and focusing on "the book of james" in the bible. Theologians believe it may have actually been written by jesus's brother and pretty much breaks down all of the parts of being a christian into a few pages of light reading (remember christianity was constructed to be able to be consumed by both the most learned men and illiterate plebs as well)
Also there are now TONS of you tube channels which are intelligent and funny and mirror somewhat of the "sargon of akkad" type videos without being so hypocritical when it comes to "muh materialist ability to remain 100% neutral at all times" These channels are as follows
>Thedistributist

>experiences?
I actually converted 2 years ago just before graduating with a political science degree. I found that statistics actually pointed to the fact that christian societies have lower crime, happier families, and more fulfilled citizens- at that point i had to question: even if god isnt real, obviously this religious thing has to have somthing useful in it if its practitioners are so successful at leading fufilled lives right? I started reading the bible - was converted though the book of Ezekiel and ever since my life hasnt been the same. Im happier, more motivated to go to the gym, got a qt. traditional gf who is really sweet, and started volunteering to do chairity. This week im going to start my professional career starting Wednesday and its been one of the best decisions ive ever made.
Can Protestantism be blamed for shit like this?

No, Christianity can.

Would Germany winning the Battle of Verdun have impacted the outcome of the First World War?
Germany's only goal in this battle was "kill as many french as possible" and they killed quite a lot of french but were pushed out eventually.
The only way they could've "won" is if they killed so many french that the French lines collapses. So in that case,it would've "impacted" WW1 by ending it.
It's a silly question.
>>2048903
actually bleeding France white was an excuse made after Erich von Falkenhayn failed in taking verdun is the position that most modern historians take.
>>2047739
By doing what, capturing the town? If so then no, the line just would have moved back and re-solidified
If you mean by achieving a decisive breakthrough then yes it would have radically altered the war, but the same is true of any side in any of the major battles
Did he actually do anything wrong?

>They can go to hell! We have offered them a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didnโt have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti - tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, โSave me!โ He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them. The people would not understand that. And especially we will not start a world war because of them. So thatโs that.

>In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birthplace or origin.

After Napoleon France would be great again militarily and had to pick on Algeria and Indochina. They suck its as simple as that, they had to request the aid of two powerful nations just to fight the Germans in a single front, twice.

Redpill me on Cain /his/
Was Cain really the father of all vampires?
>>2047253
The story represents a civilizational conflict. Cain represented settled farmers while Abel represented nomadic pastoralists, which the Hebrews were.
>>2047253
No, of course not. When his family was kicked out of the Garden of Eden, they were told specific things. Eve was told she would have pain in labor, and she did. When she produced Cain, her eldest son, she named him "Here he is!" and said that she had a son, who is the Lord.
Because Eve had been told that from her seed would come the messiah, and that the messiah would heal the rift between man and God, and get them back into the Garden of Eden. That's not what God said; that's what Eve believed God had said.
So Eve raised Cain to believe he was the messiah, and Cain was very careful to do what God had cursed Adam with: till the ground, pick weeds, deal with thorns and briars, and grow crops from the ground by the sweat of your brow. Eden had none of those things; these were curses God laid upon the earth to let you know something was wrong.
So Cain tilled the land while his brother, Abel (whose name means "It's all for nothing", a reference to Eve having to undergo another painful childbirth as Cain had not "saved" them) raised sheep.
At harvest time, Cain produced the vegetation he had grown from the sweat of his brow, just as God cursed Adam. And his offering of works was rejected.
Abel, the first prophet, offered up a perfect lamb for a sacrifice, and his offering was accepted. God visited with Cain and suggested Cain also offer up a lamb, but Cain refused and in his rage killed Abel and was exiled, taking as many of his sisters as would go with him.
God tells us to avoid the Way of Cain, and the Way of Cain is an attempt to work your way into heaven, and designate yourself as God's Messiah. Every false religion and false prophet follows the Way of Cain, and all of them are as lost as Cain.
There are no vampires. Only humans, demons, and hybrids of humans and demons.
>>2047275
so what are the origins of modern vampires then?
Do you think men and women should be treated in the same way?
>>2047221
Yeah.
Do you think men and woman should publicly share the same bathroom?

would you want to be treated the same as a man?

why do so many people believe in the concept of good and evil?
>>2047084
why not, are you too good for it? beyond it? pretentious keklord.
>>2047084
It's easy.
>>2047084
Because it is based around the concept of "Objective morality" and despite all of the faggots on 4chan who argue "subjective morality is da only one dat exists!!!xDDDD" no one wants to live in a society where the majority of the populous believes every action like pedophilia, murder, rape, ect. isnt really "wrong" but only seems so to certain groups of individuals.

very cheap, easy access to the weapon and rocks and shit u used, dont need to be trained much to use, apparently in ancient times better range than a bow.
with practice anyone can get good at it
even women and small kids can use it
