Then when I climbed out there was more annoiting, and I was given my baptismal cross, it being customary for all baptized Orthodox to wear a cross. Then I was clothed in my baptismal robe, a white vestament, which was handmade by someone in the parish for me--many of our articles are to be made and donation by people from the parish whenever possible, including the Communion bread and the priest's vestaments. After that, I recieved Christmation, called Confirmation among other Christians, which is the recieving of the Holy Spirit. That's something the Eastern Orthodox give tremendous emphasis to, for us the New Testament is as much about the Holy Spirit as it is about Christ, Christ himself even says it is important for him to leave his Apostles so that the Spirit can come. Only with Christmation do you actually recieve the Spirit in fulness, which was represented as dove descending when Christ was baptized. After that, I went back and changed, and was given my baptismal candle, which I lit for my first Communion. This candle is to be kept and used for your funeral. Communion is difficult to describe, in swallowing it I felt as if I were deep underwater and mingled with those near me, and I felt a sense of intense, dispassionate joy. Afterward I was given my baptismal gifts, which included a home censer, charcoal, incense, books, a prayer rope, and several holy icons (which the priest placed on the altar for consecration, I will take them home after forty days).

>o we started with priest breathing on me, then the exorcism: this includes a lot of formulas the priest says for rebuking satan and his demons and commanding them to leave me.

men also had names like that, it was very common naming scheme.

Roman women actually had more rights than greek women, but the main structure of the roman society was based on the family, headed by the Pater Familius who theoretically had full power over everyone in his house.

You have to understand the idea that people should be equal under law was completely alien to Roman civilization.

>>3261803

Not really.

Are women actually human in the first place?

They had basically the weakest European military. After retreating they spent the rest of the war as an advanced airstrip for the USA.

same but I got a german one

Depends. Is it fair to judge another culture through an ethnocentric lens?

>>3257372
>ethnocentric lens
the hell is that?

>>3257375
It means
>Chinks were inferior to Europeans because muh Europe had guns when Chinks didn't

Is this man really francophobe or is this just a meme to get him more views? Asking an honest question there, I basically never watch his videos.

>>3257341

more a post ww2 map but still

Germany is divided into Hannover, Pomerania, Rhineland, Saxony and Bavaria and some territories are transfered to Poland, Bohemia, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark. The new German states pay 0 tax to a central German state, 0 reparations, they get beneficial trade agreements from neighboring countries, they are constitutionally obliged to stick to demilitarization and political reforms and allow free movement of allied troops, a moderate social welfare system is set up and perhaps even a defense pact with the allies, all elected leaders travel to ww1 war memorials every year and kiss the gravestones of fallen French soldiers, all to deincentivize reunification and the surreptitious funding of a military. So basically maximum benefit to civilians, 0 benefit to militarists. If they militarize the French, Polish or British army moves in and occupies key transport conduits, crippling the country, for years if necessary.

And what the hell is up with "Das Ackerland", "Die Wüste" und "Die Großen Seen"?
Are you going to provide context or this just bullshit?

Why 1830 specifically? Good map nonetheless

virgin politics

>>3255259
you could consider politics a game where the goal is to bring about a system to benefit your allies and harm your enemies, if that's the case then politics isn't a moral field

i don't know why you have a portrait of kant as your op as what you've written has virtually nothing to do with his political philosophy.

kot

While you're right about the general mythology of things in Genesis, like the garden of Eden or the flood myth, it's much more complicated than that.
The Myths of people like Abraham or other are probably rooted in older Hebrew myth, although it is interesting how Abraham is said to be a resident of Ur and not a Canaanite, so one may argue that Abraham may be a story the Babylonians had for the history of the Hebrews, much like how they had histories for other races.
As time goes on and the history of the Jewish peoples comes closer to the time of the OT's writing, history stops being mythological and starts being more historical.
If it helps, think of it in terms of the Greek canon, like so:
>Genesis=Hesiod's Cosmogony and the Homeric Hymns
>Exodus=Heroic tales of Europa or Kadmos, or Perseus
>Judges=The Iliad, a mythologized history
>Samuel/Early Kings=Herodotus
>Later Kings, Jehu and such=Thucydides

Big ships that aren't English triggered them

Britain always backs the weaker side. If Germany had won the first world war, they would have been in a position to build a navy stronger than the Royal Navy.

>>3268168
The war was more against Britain than it was against France, especially when it comes to African colonies the Germans wanted.
