How hard is conversion to Judaism?
Will becoming a Jew bringer closer to God than Protestantism can?

Anyone can become a Reform Jew, other sects are difficult or impossible to convert to.
>Will becoming a Jew bringer closer to God than Protestantism can?
If you worship the Jewish war god Yahweh then sure, if you worship God then it doesn't matter who you are or really what you believe.
>>
>>1285834
If your god is Satan, then yes, it will bring you a lot closer to him.
>>
>>1285834
It will be hard. Conversion usually takes 1-2 years, and you'll basically be taking courses in Hebrew as a language and mainstream religious thought.
And it will bring you much closer to God than any slice of Christianity

Which is better?
>Catholic
Pros:
Apostolic sucession, ancient tradition, liturgy, music and art, miracles, philosophy: Thomas Aquinas
Cons:
Has to accept refugees, Pope Francis, Vatican II, papal infalibility, indulgences, crusades, witch-hunting, Galileo debacle, can't fap
>Orthodox:
Pros:
Same as Catholic, minus philosophy, emphasis on church fathers, doesn't change doctrine, mysticism, ethnic and national rather than universalistic
Cons:
I don't know it very well but critics say it's usually tied to the state, Russian church filled with FSB agents, diaspora priests actually spies, got BTFO by the T*rks and lost its capital Constantinople
>Protestant
Pros:
Independence from overarching governing bodies, cannot be excomminucated, no intermediary before God, Protestant nations usually more developed than Catho and Ortho ones
Cons:
Unaesthetic as fuck, retarded pro-Israel/Zionism, universalistic, no miracles

>>1280686
Nothing, I'm saying Catholicism doesn't have it. I'm not convinced anyone does. On the count that Peter massively disagreed with Paul's theology that the Catholic church is basically built on there's no chance he's "the first pope".
Religious leaders claiming lineage to St. Peter is on the same level as maniacs who say the British royal family is descended from King David.

>It is a fact beyond dispute that whenever one of these vessels sets sail, loaded to the gunwales with natives who have been rounded up and forcibly embarked, at least a third of the poor wretches perish during the voyage and are thrown overboard, and one has also to remember that many are killed before they ever get as far as the ships. The reason the death-toll is so high is that, in order to maximize profits, the men who finance these slave-fleets arrange for the vessels to carry nothing in the way of victuals except a basic minimum for the crew and so there is hardly any food or water for the poor prisoners who, as a consequence, perish from thirst and hunger and are consigned to a watery grave. One witness told me personally that, on a voyage from the Bahamas, where many natives had been rounded up, to Hispaniola, a distance of sixty or seventy leagues, one vessel, which was navigating without a compass and with no chart of the region, kept its course only by reference to the string of dead bodies wallowing in its wake.
>One of the cruellest and most damnable things in the whole of Creation is the way in which the Spanish use natives to fish for pearls. They are in the water from dawn to dusk, often operating at depths of four and five fathoms. Seldom are they permitted to surface for air but must spend their time swimming under water and tearing at the oysters in which pearls grow. Most choke on their own blood as the length of time they must stay under water without breathing and the attendant pressure upon their lungs makes them haemorrhage from the mouth; others are carried off by dysentery caused by the extreme cold to which they are subjected. Their hair, which is naturally jet black, takes on a singed appearance more typical of sea-wolves, and their backs come out in great salt sores, so that they look more like deformed monsters than men, or like members of another species altogether.

Sorry to ruin your delusional fantasy but the crusades were a shitshow bro.
Most knights of Christondom ended up waylaid in random places and took to raping and pillaging, got lost, boiled alive in their own filth wearing armor Ill-suited to a middle eastern climate, or got picked off by horse archers.

Why did ancient people stole myths from each other instead of inventing mythology themselves? I heard Jews stole great flood from Babylonians and Christians based Jesus on some Egyptian God. Is there a reason for such lack of creativity?

Let's get him out of the way.
Because he was largely uneducated, his business sense was considered peculiar. He was inspired to send warming pans (used to heat sheets in the cold New England winters) for sale to the West Indies, a tropical area. His captain sold them as ladles for the local molasses industry and made a good profit.[3][unreliable source?] Next, Dexter sent wool mittens to the same place, where Asian merchants bought them for export to Siberia.[1]

Tesla was proper nuts as well. He fell in love with a pigeon.
"I have been feeding pigeons, thousands of them for years. But there was one, a beautiful bird, pure white with light grey tips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female. I had only to wish and call her and she would come flying to me.
I loved that pigeon as a man loves a women, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life. "

I know about the MK-ULTRA experiments, but is there any merit to the claim that LSD and other drugs were put out on the streets to disarm and stupefy the burgeoning counter-culture?
It does seem a bit suspect that a drug tested by the government as an incapacitating agent suddenly and inexplicably became immensely popular as a recreational drug at that time.

Maybe Crack and drugs like that but LSD has honestly made me a better person overall.
>>
>>1283768
As far as I know the claim is not meritous. LSD and similar psychedelics do not hold promise as incapacitating agents for military use, it degrades rapidly in the air and doesn't vaporize into a fine <1um mist like anthrax or tularemia.
>t. war pro
If anything, the transgressive subcultures of the 60s and 70s probably did more harm to LSD than it to them. Since "free love", LSD has permanently carried the stigma of a brain-frying hippy dippy drug in the same cache as MDMA or poppers and not a phenomenally potent psychedelic/entheogen agent with a bright future in therapeutic applications.
