How did you decide on your denomination, /his/?

I don't have one, what with not being religious or a christian at all.
if you listen to the lord he won't be directing you to a denomination. there is only one church

Amen, Mr. Pentecostal
What is your perception of the archetype of evil. A red man with horns, or something more?

The concept of nonexistence posed by Edgar Cayce as a result of inaction which becomes of everything through inactivity, which is the result of fear - that element in humans that causes us to act against our inner soul, or Super-concious, the purest aspect of ourselves that ever stands before the throne of God, born at the First Clause, and carries the very essence of Creation as its birthright. So in other words, the antithesis of that; the act of nonexistence by complete and utter submission to fear/shame, as a result of inaction.
>how does this relate to me as a human?
Because the human body is temporal. As an entity we co-exist in body and spirit. The former, the organism, rebels against the spirit though, through the act of sin. Which is anything that we know to be "wrong," which is same-time an intersubjective and objective organization of Universal bylaws that we can violate, by our actions or inaction. The determination of that being where we stand in observance of those laws, which is based on our free will, which you can say is itself based on the application of that free will to seek truth in everything.
People who are sinners object to truth-seeking. They close off their minds, for fear of letting it in, and having it weight on their conscience, because by human nature we will never seek an answer to something that we feel we should already know. It's ingrained into our DNA to refuse to do that. It makes feel vulnerable, and we hate that. That's why pride is the deadliest sin. The cause of all ignorance, the "greatest evil" as Buddha called it.
Evil then, is, in the most succinct way that the Bible equivalizes it: "To know what is right, and to not do it."
Let me just say, I do not believe this to be a paranormal/supernatural case, and it is very obviously a hoax. However, the fact that it is a hoax actually makes it more intriguing:
The Ummo Affair:
>a series of decade-long claims that beings from the planet 'Ummo' were communicating with people on Earth
>the phenomenon first began in 1966, when a number of UFO/Forteana enthusiasts, supposed contactees and clairvoyants, occultists, poets, and writers in France and Spain began receiving mysterious correspondence from anonymous sources
>these were usually very detailed letters documenting facets of Ummite society, culture, history, and technology that coincidentally seemed to align with New Age/New Left ideas
>within the year, various persons received about 150 Ummite documents, totaling over 1000 pages; in some two years, the affair had reached mainstream news outlets in Europe, and
>every page of these documents was stamped with the same symbol of three linked lines, similar to the alchemical symbol for Uranus
>new Ummite documents would continue surfacing for many subsequent years
>many others have received Ummo letters, including French scientist Jean-Pierre Petit, a researcher at the CNRS.
>the true identity of the author(s) of said pieces of correspondence remains unknown.
To this day, it is widely assumed that the Ummo affair was an elaborate hoax: however, it is unknown who perpetrated this affair, and some scholars have believed it to be either the CIA or KGB or even the burgeoning New Left movement (which erupted violently in 1968). Now, I wonder what group could have been behind this very elaborate hoax: does /his/ think it might have been the KGB or CIA? After all, there were recorded efforts to infiltrate the Catholic Church by the KGB in order to eliminate "conservative" elements...

When and how did nudity become taboo in so many places?
>>1542170
When Abrahamic religions gained prominence. Nothing but a backwards desert cult that goes against Human nature.

>>1542179
Human nature is to be clothed.
How will you dispute this?
If you developed a simulated world populated by intelligent entities, they would no doubt explore that world and develop their own science, all the while blissfully unaware that their "science" is something you made up. One being's science is another's simulation.
And if you developed a simulated world populated by entities with intelligence, they would no doubt explore that world and develop their own religion, all the while blissfully unaware that their "religion" is something you made up. One being's religion is another's simulation.

it's no secret that the material world is merely an illusion made by the Demiurge
cool story?

So?
If they ever met, would Jesus and Buddha be bros?
>>1542094
Yeah. There is nothing that Buddha says that goes against Christianity.
>implying they're not already kickin it with the other Ascended Masters in the Violet Flame
If they ever meet, it'd be a "Jesus went to India" and saw Buddha's decaying body.
Reminder doing nothing is literally the only justifiable choice.

Tell me about white slaves in history and specially ottoman empire.
They were white
And forced to do things for people with no pay

>tfw you will never take turns deflowering a young european christian girl's virginity with your bros
Were the Janissaries white? Not that into Ottoman history, but I do remember that the Janissaries were Christian subjects who were indoctrinated into Islam.

This. If the Austrians were just another South German state like Bavaria instead of the power that they were, Bismarck would've annexed them.

Can anyone date this photo? Reverse image search brings up results but none specify the year. Is there anything here that gives an earliest possible year or something

>Is there anything here that gives an earliest possible year or something
The sports car in the background is probably your best bet for that. I'm not /o/ enough to say what that is, but it's probably the youngest thing in the pic.
>>1541799
The oldest source I'm seeing for the "Only Player's please so much" cigarette ad is 1962.
>>1541799
The slogan "Beanz Meanz Heinz" was introduced in 1967 and they stopped using it in the 1990s, and looking at the cars and buses the photo isn't from the 80s or 90s, so I'd say late 60s or early 70s.
Were "Balck Death" and "Discovered of America" two decisive events that makes Europe went ahead the rest of the world ?
That and the development of republics.
We don't know of anywhere else in the world where that happened, and after 1600 republics accounted for an increasing amount of technological and social progress.

No, the plague loosened the feudal bonds and ultimately strengthened the economy, but the scientific and industrial revolutions would have happened with or without it.
Is America the successor of Roman Empire ?
There are many examples of Christian churches that were converted into mosques as Islam spread through the Mediterranean, but what about the opposite? Are there any purpose-built mosques in the Iberian and Balkan peninsulas that were made into Christian churches following the dissolution of the Muslim empires in those areas?
Because we tend to blow them up
t.Bulgarian
They usually get destroyed
Smh Christians so wasteful
And don't most former church mosques also have a church in them for Christians?? They are usually in pretty secular nations
