WE WUZ KANGS: the country

Nope. The ancient Macedonians were Greek.They should change their fucking name. Basically they're random yugoslavs who were conquered by other countries like Serbia and Bulgaria. After WW2 they were born as a country as a part of Yugoslavia. Tito separated them from Serbia named them Macedonians.

>not one mention of demons or Devils in the Old Testament?
http://biblehub.com/hebrew/lashshedim_7700.htm

>The New Testament also deities Satan many times calling him the "god of this world"

>Demon possession is arguably one of the main focuses of the gospels yet no character from OT ever is mentioned to be possessed.
Mind you the OT was pretty nebulous at the time the NT was composed. NT writers may well have had texts or traditions that included it. Certainly they believed they were encountering in the flesh.
>Also if your demon possessed, how can you be responsible for your sins? The demons are the ones commiting them not you.
There's a logic to your logic, but I'm pretty sure the thinking is you become possessed in the first place by giving in to sin.
> Is demons/Satan all meant to be metaphorical?
Doesn't seem like it.

Idk man. I can't say for sure that God exists. Humanity just needs religion. Not all humans need religion to be nice people. But many do. If there really is no God than no matter what we do is pointless. So if having faith brings you hope and makes you be a better person to other than by all means. If you can do that without a god then that's fine too. But many uneducated people can't so we shouldn't introduce them to the concept that there actually is no being holding them accountable for their actions. Human beings are Inherently flawed, we will never be perfect. Many of us need something to look up to. And that's what religion provides.

Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

Why tho

Actual cuneiform script is tough as shit because each word is a unique logogram, kinda like Chinese, depending on how far back you go. It'll take ages to learn. As far as the language itself, if you know any Semitic languages (Arabic, Hebrew) you might have a tiny leg up on the Akkadian cuneiform. Otherwise, you're stuck with Sumerian, a language isolate.

For a language a little closer to home, I recommend you look into Old Persian, vaguely related to English. They took cuneiform and turned it into an alphabet.

I had the pleasure of learning hebrew during my childhood and teenage years, I'll check out Akkadian cuneiform. I managed to find a book on Sumerian and download it, think I'll take some time and give it a shot before I try the Akkadian

Bumping with a true dictator.

>A group of senators were sent to tell Cincinnatus that he had been nominated dictator. According to Livy, the senators found Cincinnatus while he was plowing on his farm. Cincinnatus cried out "Is everything all right?" They said to Cincinnatus that they hoped "it might turn out well for both him and his country," and then they asked him to put on his senatorial toga and hear the mandate of the senate. He called to his wife, Racilia, telling her to bring out his toga from their cottage.

>Cincinnatus did not want to cause any unnecessary bloodshed, and told the Aequi that he would let them live if they killed three major people for him and brought their leader, Gracchus Cloelius, and his officers to him in chains. A yoke was set up, made up of three spears, and the Aequi had to pass under it in an act of submission, bowing down while confessing that they had been conquered. After this, the war ended and Cincinnatus disbanded his army. He then resigned his dictatorship and returned to his farm, a mere fifteen days after he had been nominated dictator.

so long as the price of land ownership remains outside the reach of all but the wealthiest citizens, you will always be dependant on your landlord.

It doesn't matter how much you get paid, because they can always raise the rent accordingly.

Basically, they are always going to want at LEAST half. The government is going to take half of THAT, and whatever is left over after food and groceries, all that is left is a fucking pittance.

You're still all basically peasants who have been living the same way for over 2000 years.

>>1345640
further, basic income should never be a flat amount, it should be based on the percentage of tax revenue taken in by the government.

If the government takes half, it should give you back a quarter. Everyone should get taxed at the same percentage and get paid the same amount of welfare.

This is a very presumptive thread. For one, not all religions have a hell. Two, even in Christianity and Islam, people bend the holy books to fit their own doctrines. There are plenty of pastors that think being gay is a-okay and there are a scarce amount of imams that believe the same thing.

Fucking summerfags.

>Can religious people be good?

Obnoxiously so.

I see stuff like #prayfororlando being posted by people who go to church and learn from a book that teaches gay people will burn in hell forever.

Its easier for people to be angry at faggots than to teach them how to be men. Fags are taught by society that wanting to fuck other men in the ass means they should acts like whiny little bitches. The homosex on out, k, and fit are pretty cool.

>The same people who are horrified at seeing ww2 camps worship a being that created a camp that makes those look like amateur hour.

giving two fucks about one group of people killing another when you belong to niether group. Why the fuck do you care? are they your group? then fuck them. Your altruism is misplaced. altruism in animals is based on shared highly heritable traits - essentially an evolutionary tool to pass on the genes of your brothers and neighbors in order to pass on your own (since you share genes).

Your whole post is bait, but I bit.

>>1345537

Also, if they're praying for someone they believe is going to hell, that shows compassion.

As for the WW2 camps, don't forget there are a lot of people that also think the Jews deserved it or that the Jews really were responsible for WW1.
