Were historical attitudes in favor of segregation and against interracial marriage completely baseless and fear-driven or were there actual reasons?

Fear.
You know how fucked up the sexual stereotypes were for black women and men alike were?

Is Christianism (in theory) just Judaism-lite?

Not at all.
It's a Jewish heresy made to appeal to gentiles with some Jewish trappings to make any Jewish converts feel good about abandoning the religion of their ancestors.

Depends on the sect. Mainstream Judaism is also lite if compared to orthodox, which is more bible like.
/his/ explain moral relativism
How is it supposed to work? I don't get it.

That the pope is not objectively wrong for pooping in the woods. He is relatively wrong compared to the bible. But the bible is not objective, and the wrongness of pooping in the woods is only relative to the non objective morality of the bible. If your subjective morality is based on the subjective bible, pooping in the woods is wrong. If your subjective morality isn't based on the bible pooping in the woods may or may not be wrong.

If we take away the cultural and language components and solely focus on genetics, are Russians really slavs? What are the chances of them being more similar to vikings or finns instead?

very likely finno-ugric + slav

What if there was a science that specialized in studying this very thing OP is talking about and it had made like, maps of gene distribution among populations and things of that sort? Wouldn't that be something?

>>1511188
They're Slavs with considerable Finno-Ugric influence. Mind you, culturally they're very different even from other Eastern Slavs.
I've been getting into some intense Christological debates irl recently, I need your guys' help…
Did Jesus ever brush his teeth?
Did Jesus own the clothes on his back, or merely borrow them?
Did Jesus ever get diarrhea?
Did Jesus ever have an involuntary erection?
Did Jesus ever travel outside Galilee, Samaria, and Judea?
Was Jesus left handed?

/shitpost/ general?
>Did Jesus ever brush his teeth?
Probably not, although I know the Greco-Romans basically used twigs and small brushes of straw for oral hygiene. The Jews may've been introduced to that, or they may've had their own thing going
>Did Jesus own the clothes on his back, or merely borrow them?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUUB96c6EpY
Couldn't find the actual debate scene desu
>Did Jesus ever get diarrhea?
He ate a Middle Eastern diet, he most definitely got diarrhea.
>Did Jesus ever have an involuntary erection?
No, Jesus was in complete control of his body. When Jesus was mocked by the Pharisees for getting a erection while preaching, he purposely did it to demonstrate how childish they were.
>Did Jesus ever travel outside Galilee, Samaria, and Judea?
I think he crossed the Jordan a few times, and also headed to the Decapolis and Gennesaret
>Was Jesus left handed?
Blasphemy.

I found out yesterday that my town has a military museum.
Needless to say, I went to check it out not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. It covers WWI, WW2, Korea, and Vietnam.
Commencing dump.
Also, here's the museum's website.

So let me get this straight
The SS were like the armed wing of the Nazi party who operated parallel to the Wehrmacht which was the German army.
The SS were more a paramilitary police force while the Waffen SS was more like a light infantry military force.
Do I have this down correctly?

Well German military not just the army

The Waffen SS were the armed forces of the Schutzstaffel, one of several suborganisations of the SS.

Okay and this organization was part of the Nazi party not the German state right?

>Both Caesar and Jesus start their rising careers in neighboring states in the north: Gallia and Galilee.
>Both have to cross a fateful river: the Rubicon and the Jordan. Once across the rivers, they both come across a patron/rival: Pompeius and John the Baptist, and their first followers: Antonius and Curio on the one hand and Peter and Andrew on the other.
>Both are continually on the move, finally arriving at the capital, Rome and Jerusalem, where they at first triumph, yet subsequently undergo their passion.
>Both have good relationships with women and have a special relationship with one particular woman, Caesar with Cleopatra and Jesus with Magdalene.
>Both have encounters at night, Caesar with Nicomedes of Bithynia, Jesus with Nicodemus of Bethany.
>Both have an affinity to ordinary people-and both run afoul of the highest authorities: Caesar with the Senate, Jesus with the Sanhedrin.
>Both are contentious characters, but show praiseworthy clemency as well: the clementia Caesaris and Jesus' Love-thy-enemy.
>Both have a traitor: Brutus and Judas. And an assassin who at first gets away: the other Brutus and Barabbas. And one who washes his hands of it: Lepidus and Pilate.
>Both are accused of making themselves kings: King of the Romans and King of the Jews. Both are dressed in red royal robes and wear a crown on their heads: a laurel wreath and a crown of thorns.
>Both get killed: Caesar is stabbed with daggers, Jesus is crucified, but with a stab wound in his side.
>Jesus as well as Caesar hang on a cross.
>Both die on the same respective dates of the year: Caesar on the Ides (15 th) of March, Jesus on the 15 th of Nisan.
>Both are deified posthumously: as Divus Iulius and as Jesus Christ.
>Caesar and Jesus also use the same words, e.g.: Caesar's famous Latin 'Veni, vidi, vici' - I came, I saw, I conquered - is in the Gospel transmitted into: 'I came, washed and saw', whereby Greek enipsa, 'I washed', replaces enikisa, 'I conquered'.

I assume you're referring to John 9:7 in which case that isn't the exact quote and Jesus isn't the one who says it.
>"Go" he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

So Caesar was the reincarnation of Jesus?

Many things work theoretically, but how will you practically execute a technocracy without bias or inefficiency? You don't magically know all the facts, and both human error as well as human lack of will to make for the best technocracy will ruin it.
