Kiss that relationship goodbye, she may as well being implying she's a muslim

IF YOU THINK THAT BEING CHRISTIAN CONSISTS IN BEING AN EXPERT IN THEOLOGY, YOU ARE IGNORANT, AND MOST CERTAINLY NOT AN AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN.

Your gf may well be retarded, as if dating you wasn't a sure enough sign.
Most overlooked invention?
I say it is shoes.
Just look at how ill suited our feet are to walking outside with out shoes. We would be constantly plagued with injuries, diseases and parasites in our feet. Would never be able to settle outside the tropics. The winters and ice age summers would be too cold for our feet.

>"All Ashkenazic Jews are descended from the the Khazars"
When will this meme end?
>>1674285
it's not a meme
>>1674285
It's not a meme. When the brown arab looking jews were kicked out descendants of the Ashkenazi went up through the Caucasus and interbred with the native Caucasian peoples and Slavs. This is literally the only explanation as to why modern Ashkenazi look "white" compared to the still brown Mizrahi
>>1674785
Mizrahi aren't brown and are also partially descended from gentiles. The original jews were not arabs.
Why is the most famed scholarship on this woman a deliberate hitpiece that doesn't even attempt historical rigor?
The one thing everyone can agree on is iconoclasm. If you build up a symbol to be worshiped, expect others to tear it down.

Stop being such a contraian, it doesn't suit you

Hoo boy, wait until you find out what Sassanid-era Zoroastrianism was like beyond "it wasn't islam". The parallels between the clergy then and the modern IRI's mullahs are pretty nifty.

I just want to say right now, I'm not trying to stir shit up, I just want some information
Ever since I became interested in Rhodesia a while ago, there's a couple things that just don't add up; One of which is the subject of racism
I've heard numerous conflicting viewpoints, on how since Ian Smith was an on-fire racist that the entire country was obviously just as racist. But the further I dug the more I saw this wasn't true.
The BSAP and BSAC for instance, helped settle inter-tribe disputes, and were more like a general peacekeeping force than an authoritarian police force
Also worth noting is how the Matabele and Mashona tribes were able to hold positions of power in the government and Rhodesia's version of parliament/congress. Black Africans were also able to join the military, and serve in branches such as the Rhodesian African Rifles and Selous Scouts
But through all of this, the questions still remains unanswered, where they overly racist, and if so, how?
The only conclusion I seem to draw is that they were better off than South Africa, and most likely North America
>>1686729
Not at all. They were just race realists. Blacks were allowed to participate in government but none were fit. Ian smith made it clear he fought against Marxism not black Africans. The Rhodesian army was a volunteer force and mostly made up by blacks.
Not to say there was no prejudice between races. Africans didn't understand that they were different from Anglos and we're obviously jealous.
>>1686751
That's the other side that I've heard, and it's the one that sounded the most reasonable.
If I remember correctly, the blacks were also able to attend schools and becomes learned, buy land, and essentially have the same rights of the whites.
>>1686729
unlike south africa, there were no laws about keeping blacks in ghettos or out of the government. They simply recognized the reality of the situation that most blacks were ooga booga tribal retards since ever since the 1800s, they refused, sometimes violently, to being educated by the British overlords.
But they also werent stubborn anti-black racist either. If a black person did show they were capable for a job or position, there was no real reason to stop them.
The country was taken over by Chinese puppet dindu armies who took over the country in order to bring it into their sphere of influence, while they were hung out to dry by their """"allies"""" and plunged into arguably the shittiest country on earth. When it once was the most propurous nation in Africa at the time.
If God is omnibenevolent, why can't someone repent after dying? Why is it so important that it happens before you die?

What an old stale meme senpai.
Orthodox here.
Repentance generally involves contrition.
The fact that North Korea and its ideology (Juche) has managed to remain virtually unchanged for more than 60 years is mind-blowing, specially after the collapse of the USSR in 1991 and China's transition to a free-market, capitalist country.
kinda like isolationist japan
makes you think
history repeats itself huh
is that kim ir senpai?
At what point do other countries have an obligation to save millions of people from what is effectively a country-sized prison?
