Really makes you think
>>
It seems like insecurity to me. If someone is so scared that any kind of outside thought or information will destroy their ability to believe in their religion, they must not think it's very compelling on its own.

Back when I was like 7 years old, before I even had a computer in my house, I would get bored during sermon and read the bible. I finished the first 2 or 3 chaptwrs, and even then I was frustrated by all of the inconsistencies in it. How could god be all knowing and not know that Satan was deceiving eve? Why did he even put a tree of knowledge on earth if no one was supposed to use it? How come eve's descendents magically inherited the knowledge gained by eating the fruit? Was god not aware that people would just become wicked again after he flooded the whole world? Cain and Abel should have been proof that evil is just part of people.

Was the Reconquista welcomed by the former citizens of al-Andalus?

Gregory Peter's book actually goes into pretty awesome detail about peasants during the reconquista. Look up "La Conquista De Iberia", google might have some translations.

A god among men. He took Europe firmly in hands and crushed it, ground it to dust only to rebuild it stronger than ever, free of impurity and weakness. I would've gladly died with His blessed name upon my lips if I lived back in the day.

Was "freemason" Francisco Franco's code word for "Jews" or some shit?
>Believed masons were covertly destroying western society from the inside out
>Believed the masons wanted to create chaos, civil unrest and war to improve business
>Accused the masons on infiltrating various companies, the government, and the media
>Believed the masons would use their status and ranks to discretely promote an anti-western masonic agenda on people
>Blamed communism on the masons
>Thought the masons were dangerous because it's impossible to tell a mason from a regular Spaniard based on appearance alone.

Masons had a huge influence in Spanish politics since the Borbons came.A big chunck of republican polititians were mason.For Franco masons were masons and he didn't really cared about da Jews.He even saved thousand of Jews in WW2 and some rabbies claim that he was some hero for them

Nope. Pretty popular in Italy. Two main grand lodges (who don't get along), and a few fake ones.

The tape shows that Hitler and Germany underestimated the Soviet Union's capabilities, but it has nothing to do with what I'm asking.

Don't feel like going in-depth right now but Why the Allies Won has a section on this. It's worth a read. Nazis still can't handle the fact that Germany, backed by an entire continent of resources and manpower, still lost to the USSR.

Why is it that the Sadducees did not believe in the existence, when the Old Testament has a number of occasions when angels appear (the three messengers with Abraham and Lot; the various angelic/spirit beings who attend to Yawheh's throne in Isaiah and Ezekiel, among other examples)?
I can see why they did not believe in the afterlife, since the Hebrew OT does not mention or even imply an afterlife or a coming judgment, but descriptions and references to angels are plentiful in it.

Hard to say, given that as far as I'm aware, there are no Sadducee theological documents surviving, and the closest we get to such is Josephus; pretty much all we know about Sadducee beliefs comes from their rivals and enemies.
You may as well ask why they didn't believe in any sort of oral transmission either, when the Pentateuch makes reference to things supposedly told by God that don't make it into the pages. I don't know what it was, but it was probably at least coherent enough to sway the support of a lot of the upper class of Jerusalem.
>>
>>2008968
don't know what verses you are refering to, but it might have simply not been in Sadducees torahs. much of the documents were decided already, but there were still fluctuations influenced by differing beliefs. see the Samaritan torah and the dead sea scrolls
>>
>>2008994
The two most obvious (although there are probably some more if I stop and think about it) are
Deuteronomy 24:1-5, the stuff about divorce; which implicitly allows for laws of marriage, which are never actually laid out.
Second one is also in Deuteronomy, 12:21, which makes reference to slaughtering animals "as I have commanded you", when again, there are no verses in the Pentateuch that mention slaughtering methods.
I'm admittedly not an expert on what the Sadducees believed, but I'm pretty sure they accepted a Deuteronomy that was more or less the same as the Masoretic version.

My grandfather gave me a antique-looking knife a while ago and I'm having trouble figuring out the origin of it. And I was wondering if there are any experts that could figure out what region of the world it came from and what possible time period it came from.

Did he ever say anything else about it? What region of the world are you in/is he from?
Can Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia be considered the modern continuity of Al-Andaluz kinda like Pakistan is the modern descendant of the Mughal Empire ?
How similar was Al-Andaluz culture (architecture, food, clothing, music, society) to north african culture ?
