The Bible is different from other ancient texts in that it deals with humans and talks on and on about human existence. While other texts will speak of their gods direct involvement in events or their demigod heroes performing amazing feats, the bible revolves around average human beings who never did anything spectacular save for what God has done.
What is unusual about the Bible is how often it talks of building when on a archeological basis, the Levant does not contain much in the way of grand buildings and cities that we know of. From Noah's Ark to the tower of Babel to the temples, much is spoken of building and crafting. The ancient Israelites esteemed the act of building going so far to autistically including precise measurements and sacred geometry in their texts. Not only building but sailing, jewellery, cultivating the land and other human activities and endeavors. These things are not spoken of in other ancient texts from other cultures. While the Romans spoke of buildings, they did not have the same appreciation for them as the Israelites did. While the Greeks engaged in great acts, they did not always see them as divine, they were simply feats performed by men and recorded for later history.
But my question persists: why would the Israelites constantly speak of building and crafting when in actual fact they produced very little and their living arrangements were anything but glamorous?

maybe big buildings convey divinity. i wonder what they would have thought having been presented with modern skyscrapers.

>>1995473
Because most of the Talmud was composed during and after the Babylonian Captivity where they did encounter such buildings.

If you are nomadic, things like Architecture is more important.
Mongols showcase many of the same... social cues, halfway across the world in a different culture sphere.
And so do Beduins and a lot of tribes.
The Nomadic perspective also means they are foreign to a lot of the things they encountered, and even when settled, the strong written culture and religious social position means some of it was maintained

Do civil law countries put as much of an emphasis on liability as Anglo countries do. I seems Anglo countries are much more litigious than civil law countries and the mere threat of civil action and being held liable dictate many parts of our lives; things like wet floor signs, warning workers overhead, caution etc. Those signs are there to reduce liability they're not legislated to be there.
Anyway, back to first question, is there a large emphasis on liability in civil law countries?

Law thread please
>>
>>1995375
Civil law is interpreted by judges, common law is based on precedent. This means you can be fairly certain what the legal outcome will be in common law countries, but there is an inherent degree of uncertainty in civil law cases. This means common law is better for things like contracts, but also means that common law is more "gameable", especially when combined with the Anglo custom of adversarial trial lawyers. It's a mixed bag, common law helped Anglo countries outcompete civil ones, but it also opens the door to tremendous litigiousity.
>>
>>1995598
The degree of uncertainty is mitigated by higher instance courts, and formation of a legal practice, but the practice is ever changing.
This still makes the people less litigious, however liability is still very important.
Keep in mind i don't know just how important it is in Common law.

What are the reasons for the federal government's growth since its founding?
I mean other than a bunch of assholes wanting more power.
At least FDR had an okay reason to expand thanks to the great depression.
Was Marbury vs Madison's ruling the only positive expansion of the federal government? I mean the supreme court didn't really have any power before this.

>why did a government that presided over mostly yeoman farmers in the 18th century grow to its current size presiding over massive sprawling metropolitan urban centers that rely on a highly complex and integrated global economy
I dunno lol

The state governments seemed to take care of this decently enough though, no?
I thought the entire idea was that both work side by side in order to lessen the pressures of running a country.

>What are the reasons for the federal government's growth since its founding
Corporatist greed and state security, mostly. Not to get all economic structuralist about it, but you'll notice that the periods in which federal power is expanded are either during times where the American business class was struggling and wanted the government to step in so they could stick their fingers in more pies or in periods of either legitimate or perceived threat.

I bet the patriarchy is responsible for this.

>>1995228
There were probably a few but most of them were just religious based and were structures attempting to "reach the heavens". Or in general show off how tall/high a building can get with the right architectural talent.
It's kinda dumb that sociologists and anthropologists have been saying that this is a sign of male patriarchal domination or whatever. It's like saying that because the Washington monument is white than it must be promoting white supremacy.

Look at this thread, they still can't. Blaming the Jews is always the right answer, just look at how Romans got away with crucifying Jesus.

So, /his/, I want to go to an Orthodox church.
I'm not here to debate legitimacy of tradition or theology or anything. I want to just go and observe and participate and see what it's all about.
What the heck should I expect? What is expected during the services? How should I be dressed? What are some do's and don'ts?
I grew up in your typical basic bitch Protestant fundie house, and I tend to be pretty all over the place with my own spiritual beliefs, mind you. I'm about to go to the local Hindu shrine and give an offering of an expensive statue of Shiva I've had for some time, just to give you an idea of where I'm at.
Really, what is it all about? How do I get the most out of the experience?

Don't expect much. Lots of prayer and church songs. Lots of reading from the bible. Most of the churches that i have atrended are very open to the masses and as long as you don't wear shorts and a t-shirt, nobody will bother you. If you go for the lithurgy (or whatever it's called in english), do not interrupt the priest. A good priest will stay after it for any questions the attendees might have. Just be pious, cross when others do if you can and want, and do not be obnoxious. If you are merely visiting, nobody will tell you anything as long as you respect the church.

If people knew about the existence of planets since ancient times did they also believe in aliens?
Like did they assume that the other planets were also like Earth and had life on them?

Planet didn't mean the same thing to them. In Greek it means "wanderer" because, unlike the stars, they moved very quickly through the sky. They didn't know that Earth was also a planet, or that planets were like Earth. Mostly, they thought of them as higher beings.

This, that's why most planets have names of Greek and later Roman gods and dieties
