In fact it would be faster to list the differences between Taoist Immortals and Abrahamic prophets and saints, Jesus included.

Taoism is so reasonable no society based itself on its principles

The sophists were despised by their peers for good reason. A true philosopher contemplates for reasons other than monetary gain.

>It is far easier to criticise the Chinese than to understand them. The points of contact are too few and too recent. Our information is based largely upon fancy instead of fact, and misinterpretation of them and their ways is the easy and inevitable result. Yet they are emphatically a race worthy of serious study. As real life is far more fascinating than any work of fiction, so is the genuine Son of Han, with his fixed and crystallized peculiarities, immensely more interesting to the honest student than the caricatured Chinaman, with whom alone the average public is familiar.


>Inter twisted with the faults and foibles of the Chinese are many sterling virtues and admirable traits of character. They combine the fixedness of age with the persistence of youth. They change slowly. Yet it seems impossible that any one should come to know them well without reaching the conviction that there is a great future before the nation, and that China has yet an important part to play in the histroy of the world.

...did you remember we're a religion?

...and that pretty much every study confirmed we're largely semitic on the male side and southern european on the female side?

...and that there were never that many jews ever to begin with?

...and only upper class Khazars converted?

...and that southern europeans kicked us out while Poland-Lithuania offered us safety, before getting conquered by Russia?

...and that palestinians are obviously semitic too?

...and that everyone knows that palestinians are just arabized hebrews?

>...did you remember we're a religion?

Ok, but if you're a religion, why is Jews always referred to as a "race" and anti-semitism as a form of racism?

>...and that everyone knows that palestinians are just arabized hebrews?

But then how does that fit with Israel's historic claim to the land and that Palestinians are arab invaders?

Also, weren't the hebrews from then just hebrewized assyrian settlers?

What's up with that one heeb genealogist who said he had basically pretty convincing evidence that azkhenazi really are of khazar stock?

this might've been true if it was the 19th century and they still spoke only german.

having oktoberfest and schutzenfest does not a german make.

>>1565681

language is just one part of culture though. The American Midwest had more practicing Lutherans than in all of Germany. The American midwest has a conservative, individualistic culture reminiscent of Germany prior to the 20th century. The food, art, dance and festivals are all German or German influenced.

Jesus christ you yanks get more retarded about muh heritage every day. Have either of you actually seen Germany outside of /pol/ or /int/ shitposting? It's far more conservative than you think, the migrant fiasco aside.

>The American midwest has a conservative, individualistic culture reminiscent of Germany prior to the 20th century.

It's fair to say that Germany was conservative, but not really individualist. Germans tended to have a strong sense of community and social responsibility viewed through a conservative lens whereas American culture was always far more individualistic and had a definite 'fuck you, got mine' attitude which many of the German immigrants to the midwest eventually picked up.

this is incredibly basic but:
Catholicism and Orthodoxy are the two main branches that stem from the original united church during the time of the roman empire. they split after centuries of growing disagreements over things that might sound minor to people who are not part of the religion, including (but not limited to) the role of the pope (the bishop of rome, who orthodox see as maybe the first among equals of the bishops but not God's representative on earth, while the catholics see him as the full leader of the church on earth), liturgical practices, language (latin vs greek) and most importantly the filioque clause - a disagreement in the Nicene Creed over whether the Holy Spirit "proceeds" from just the Father or the Father AND the son (orthodox former, catholic latter). also there was a ton of politics tied into this as the orthodox church in the east was subservient to the byzantine emperor while the catholic church in the west grew into its own temporal power with the pope getting in a lot of political disputes with germanic kings

protestantism appeared in the 16th century as a response to corruption in the catholic church that went buckwild and spawned a billion different subfactions with wide ranging differences. there is no unifying protestant belief. it just means anyone who is not catholic (or orthodox, for that matter, but protestants generally just ignore orthodox because their historical precedent has been fighting with catholics). some typical protestant beliefs are salvation through faith in jesus alone (without requiring good works), sola scriptura (only believing what's in the bible rather than believing "holy tradition", hence not believing that mary is anything special for example), often simpler services without all the trappings and statues and paintings which are seen as worldly or idolatrous, etc.
