So if Catholics and Orthodox aren't true Christians, what's the One True Church? Lutheran? Methodist? Baptist? Anabaptist? Christian Scientist? Presbyterian? Episcopalian? Anglican? My local non-denominational Megachurch? What is the One True Church?
Celtic Christianity
>>1611012
Isn't that Catholic like how Copts are Orthodox?
>>1610997
The Eastern Orthodox Church.
Can we talk about the life of this deranged man who's responsible for the unfortunate existence of protestantism?
>“Christ committed adultery first of all with the woman at the well about whom St. John tells us. Was not everybody about Him saying: ‘Whatever has he been doing with her?’ Secondly, with Mary Magdalene, and thirdly with the woman taken in adultery whom he dismissed so lightly. Thus even Christ, who was so righteous, must have been guilty of fornication before He died.”
(Table Talk , Weimar edition, vol. 2., no. 1472, April 7 - May 1, 1532; Wiener, p. 33).
>“But Christ took upon Himself all of our sin, and thus He died upon the cross. Therefore he had to become that which we are, namely a sinner, a murderer, evildoer, etc....For insofar as he is a victim for the sins of the whole world, He is not now such a person as is innocent and without sin, is not God’s Son in all glory, but a sinner, abandoned by God for a short time. Psalms 8:6.”
(Detailed Explanation of the Epistle to the Galatians, part 2, fourth argument, Walch edition, vol. 8, p. 2165, nos. 321-324).
>“Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly...No sin will separate us from the Lamb, even though we commit fornication and murder a thousand times a day”
(Weimar ed. vol. 2, p. 372; Letters I, Luther’s Works, American ed., vol. 48, p. 282).
>“If, in faith, an adultery could be committed, it would be no sin”
(Möhler, Dr. Johann Adam, Symbolik, p. 131; Luther disput. Tom. I, p. 523).
>“When our consciences are assailed by the devil on account of our sins: so one should say, spoke D. M. Luther: holy devil, pray for us: Sancte Satan, ora pro nobis. Have we not sinned against you, kind Sir Devil?”
(Table Talk, Walch ed., vol. 22, chapter 26, p. 1242, no. 41).
>“If someone is being tempted, said Dr. Martin, or is amongst those who are being tempted, let him then beat Moses to death, and throw every stone at him”
(Table Talk, Walch ed., vol. 22, chapter 27, p. 1233).
Wouldn't call it bad when protestant ism mainly replaced Catholicism which is at least as bad.
>>1610676
>responsible for protestantism
So the the corrupt cleric elite isn't at fault? There would have been a Martin Luther sooner or later. There were even people before him who questioned the catholic dogma like Jan Hus or Savonarola. The difference was that Luther was backed by parts of elite like some princes who were intrested in his new theology and wanted to gain more independence from the Kaiser and pope
Jihadists use guns designed by atheist commies
Bin Laden was trained by the CIA

Lol christians use steel and iron invented by pagan barabarians, the irony.
>>1607780
Bin laden used that gun from a ruskie general he killed or some shit like that.
Tried Googling this, but I usually get either porn or romance fiction.
This is something I've wondered about on occasion, in part because it occasionally comes up in books or TV. How common was it for nobles to lay with household servants? Be it lord with the chambermaid or lady with the stableman. Was it seen as essentially "part of the job" and generally acceptable on both sides, or looked down upon by the nobles' peers and typically unwilling for the lower class?
I figure it wasn't *too* common, given the diplomatic importance of marriages among nobility; the lord boinking the maid could tick off the father of the lady if she's against it. But at the same time, people in powerful positions may take advantage of some of the benefits; somewhat comparable things happen nowadays, like the businessman/official and the secretary.

Well off students in 19th Century France who stayed in dorms made "being open for a fuck" a requirement for hiring maids, called "Grisettes."
>It was customary, for example, for the large numbers of students from the
provinces to take mistresses, thus giving rise to the curious profession of grisette. One
close English observer of student life, while falling over backward not to condone the
condition, ended up conveying a certain admiration for such women. They looked after
their students faithfully and well, even managed the budget, in return for relief from dull
and ill-remunerated employment. While they might, like the ill-fated Fantine in Hugo's
Les Miserables, be left totally in the lurch when the student returned to provincial respon-
sibilities, and while marriage was out of the question, they sometimes received support
for children and perhaps some sort of payoff (being set up with a shop being a favorite-
many of the independent women owners got their start this way) in return for their faith-
ful service.

yeah it was part of the job, especially if you worked for a bachelor. I read about it somewhere. I'm looking for a source atm.

That's weirdly touching, though probably not always perfect.
This will probably be considered a troll /pol/ thread, but this is an honest question.
Is there any historical evidence that increased "social justice", sexual freedom, and welfare-esque programs have caused societal decline or even collapse in the past? Is it true that some of these things have a correlation with the collapse of Rome?
>>1608099
Everything has a correlation with the collapse of rome.
Pretty fucking sure that Rome was a socially unjust place.
>>1608099
Not really. Rome was a welfare state for hundreds of years
Do proddies really believe the Pope is the Antichrist?
>>1602252
Just look at him, he's destroying everything the church has stood for a thousand years.
Even Catholics think this Pope is Antichrist.

Why didn't everyone use phalanx? How hard is it to tell guys to stick together? Lmao were pre 20th century people so retarded that such basic tactic needed proffesional soldiers? Why couldn't levies do it?
OH SHIT WHAT DO WE DO NOW NIGGA
>>1609456
They had cannons in ancient times and pre 14th century middle ages?
>>1609447
Because of Greece's fucking cultural background.
Warfare has always been dependent on multiple backgrounds based on local realities (culture, wealth, known enemies, geography, etc).
That said, literally everyone figured out shield walls. And the Phalanx itself isnt almighty, as Celts and Macedonians proved.
What are your guys' thoughts on Sargon of Akkad?

Title says it all.
During the height of Aztec power, they dominated Central Mexico and led the Valley of Mexico into a period of mass population growth, dynamic and affluent trade, cultural supremacy, and military dominance.
The city of Tenochtilan had around 212,500 people (by Smiths estimates). It was a supermassive, highly efficient island urban center with canals, massive temples, aqueducts, systems of public sanitation, underground pipes, reservoirs, and one of the largest markets in the world.

I can't believe my eye.. A barbarian thread.
How well recorded is Aztec history?

There are a few primary sources: Hernan Cortes, Bernal Diaz Del Castillo, and the Anonymous Conqueror were all conquistadors who detailed certain aspects.
Bernandino de Sahagun chronicled the Mexica point of view, and some Codices still exist in museums.

Was Joseph a cuck? If so, is Christianity a religion founded on cuckoldry?
>>1609857
Yes.
Really no way going around it.
>>1609857
Yes and yes.
>>1609857
Lmao that Jew cuck got owned. Probably by an Italian too.
Without the 30-Years-War, would the HRE have emerged as the dominating force in Europe?
Pic related was completed in 1614.
it was already in decay, and the thirty years wars was a symptom of its time
>>1609780
30-Years-War was a nail in the coffin.

What does /his/ think of Kingdom of Yugoslavia?
Which nation got the most out of it?
If Croatia didn't join it would be divided by Greater Serbia taking parts of Slavonia and Dalmatia while Italy would take parts of the Dalmatian coast and islands.
By refusing the union and instead annexing territories Serbia would gain all the territories promised by the London treaty.
Now what would happen to Montenegro, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina if they decided against the union with Serbia?
Truly nobody gained from the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Maybe Montenegro.
It always had a horrible disjointed, overstretched government. Full of political compromise. Serbia would have been much better off with the territory of the London treaty, as it would have more resources, time and effort to put into Bosnia and Macedonia, which were neglected both economically, but also by the administration, laws (Sharia was left in effect for Muslims). The national identities of Bosnian Muslims and Macedonians wouldn't have developed, and by that i mean Macedonians would be assimilated and Bosnia would be a much better place.
Managing Croats internally took up majority of the political effort of the Kingdom. All in all, it was more trouble than it was worth.
Slovenia and Croatia would have been taken by Italy, Austria and Hungary had the state of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs not accepted the Serbian offer.
In fact, it was supposed to be a much better compromise, but pressure from the 3 other countries, defection of Vojvodina to Serbia and the Podgorica assembly, the Carinthia conflict, all made the fledgling state accept Serbia's not so generous offer.
Maybe, just maybe Croatia gained something. Because hadn't there been the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Croatia would have never gained independence.
Bosnia and Montenegro would have been a part of Serbia in any scenario.
Vojvodina would have been split somehow. Maybe Romania would have more of it. But a big part of it would still go to Serbia.

Thank you for the insight anon.
