>>1852664

I mean, the CIA alone did tons of this shit, particularly in Latin America, and other American organizations have also partaken, so it's probably true.

For example,

Can you be a bit more specific about the circumstances though?

But doesn't the leader of ISIS have a doctorate in Quranic studies?

>Isis isn't Islam.
Yeah.. right.

Do you guys ever think about how much we generalize people's faiths and even just about anything?

Like, Protestants read the Old Testament

It's not like you find in Luther's writings about Christianity "throw away the Old Testament muahaha" like ?

Many denominations, most of them do follow the Old Testament, even Gnostic ones.

Jesus literally does say that certain laws were made during a different time with different circumstances in mind. He was speaking about the ability to divorce in Exodus suiting them because they had to keep their numbers up, but the same logic applies to other laws that have outlived their purpose.

The Holy Bible is a compendium of texts, written over thousands of years by different authors, different culture and circumstances etc.
Translation also further confuse the issue.
They document God's revelations to mankind, and its authors claim divine authority.

Point being, no one can follow the entire Bible from beginning to end.
It is self-contradictory in many places.

Being a Christian is accepting and believing in Jesus Christ
That he was God's son and died for Mankind's sins.
The rest is just tradition, much of it pagan in origin
Which is fine, it's part of the whole package

i started to, as a good christian should, but when i got to the gospels i realized how heretical it was for a man to call himself god and liken himself to adonai so i dropped that goyim crazy shit

Aka I have never read the Bible and only making up excuses with fancy words to make up for my excuse for not reading it.

Just go to syria and form your own kingdom

it's actually pretty terrible unless you truly have an ideal personality for it
it's not a fucking party, read about the sword of damocles

>>1852409
in one sense you would either have to be a bit crazy and/or have no fear of death

1st century Judea saw Hebrew as a secondary language, while it wasn't a completely liturgical language, most of its use would have been liturgical.

I'm guessing here, but pronunciation probably would have been very much affected by whatever contemporary norms in pronunciation of Aramaic were around at the time, as it was a far more common vernacular language.

>>1852319
Why didn't Israel just use Aramaic given that it's an actual surviving language?

>>1852369
None of them spoke it anymore.

He pissed off the Jews, and the Jews.

>>1852183
Because the Jewish religious elites
God is responsible because it ended up being a good thing

Jesus was crucified for less than a day before they took him down. How so? It usually takes 2-3 days before it kills you.

>>1852060

Sure. That or whatever other -ism you feel like is just not your cup of tea.

no, jews were

>>1852060
I wish I would get a dollar everytime western civilization died.

>>1851966
Why did English become the first language? Anon is right. Fuck germanic languages!

>>1851966
Yeah, pure shit.


Except hebrew is pretty cool.

Indo-Europeans are without a doubt, the most important people on the planet ever.

will my thread get more replies if I do some /pol/ posting or say that korean jesus wants this thread?

I'm curious too

just open up articles and start reading.

"In the winter of 1556, an earthquake catastrophe occurred in the Shaanxi and Shanxi Provinces. In our Hua County, various misfortunes took place. Mountains and rivers changed places and roads were destroyed. In some places, the ground suddenly rose up and formed new hills, or it sank abruptly and became new valleys. In other areas, a stream burst out in an instant, or the ground broke and new gullies appeared. Huts, official houses, temples and city walls collapsed all of a sudden."

"The cost of damage done by the earthquake is almost impossible to measure in modern terms. The death toll, however, has been traditionally given as 820,000 to 830,000.[1] The accompanying property damage would have been incalculable – an entire region of inner China had been destroyed and an estimated 60% of the region’s population died."

"Millions of people at the time lived in artificial loess caves on high cliffs in the area of the Loess Plateau. Loess is the name for the silty soil that windstorms have deposited on the plateau over the ages. The soft loess clay had formed over thousands of years due to wind blowing silt into the area from the Gobi Desert. Loess is a highly erosion-prone soil that is susceptible to the forces of wind and water. The Loess Plateau and its dusty soil cover almost all of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces and parts of others. Much of the population lived in dwellings called yaodongs in these cliffs. This was the major contributing factor to the huge death toll. The earthquake caused landslides, which destroyed the caves."

it probably sucked ass most of the time for most people

Raiding enemy cities gives us a tech bonus.

Operation Snake Eater.

fascism transcends economic fundamentalism and can be capitalist or socialist or a mix of both. the economy isn't really considered important beyond it's local and pragmatic importance.

>>1851478
his base was the working class, that´s why he adopted socialist policies (while actually prosecuting communist and anarchist labor union organizers)

>>1851478
You do know the Nazi party was rather pro-labour, don't you? Not quite as socialist as Russia, the government didn't strictly take over the means of production entirely, but were more than critical of unregulated free market and banking institutions. It's the idea that an economic policy must adhere to a certain social policy that you need to adjust.

>>1851394
they served their country

>>1851399
Israel didn't exist yet.

Well, they fought for Imperial Germany and some got some medals for it.

Or course it was funny when later on Hitler started deporting/persecuting jews and he had to be like "Well, these jews who have been awarded the iron cross you see they are actually traitors to this country"
