Is it true the Romans invented Christianity to try and control the Jews, and that's why Christianity has a lot of pagan holidays based around the winter solstice(Christmas) and spring equinoxe(Easter)?
>invent a religion that defies the imperial authority
Wow roman pagans were fucking stupid
all mockery of Jews and their one god shall be kept to an appropriate minimum
>>3229834
Render unto Caesar pleb,
The romans made Christianity their state religion because it's adherents concentrated on the next world not the present one so they were easily pacified
What's the origin of black nationalism, also americanism, and why do black patriots worship Malcolm X?
What is the significance of the May 1968 events?
support for the left, France and the west in general, shifted from the working class to weird amalgamation of students, "intellectuals", middle-class who wants radical change, and various hapless idealists

Many blacks looked up to him and aspired to be like him.
But he was more Black Panther than MLK, so it wasn't exactly the most positive influence in the long run

What evidence is there for dark age shield decoration? Don't manuscripts show plain or really simple decoration, where does the idea of animals or knotwork come from?
>>3229637
I too am curious about this.
>>3229637
I feel that it's not crazy to speculate that people probably liked to decorate their shields if they could get paint to do so or were encouraged by a leader to adopt some sort of uniform scheme. I've also heard a theory that painted shields could hide the grain on a shield, but I don't think that was the reason for it.
Apparently there's a possible Viking shield (no boss, but it's where a shield would be in a burial) that has some intricate knotwork on it.

Nothing to do with politics.
ITT: under appreciated, forgotten, hidden or otherwise undiscussed roman emperors
I contribute this badass, who in the dying days of the empire and the great migrations reconquered Gaul and Hispania.
>>3229485
A map of his conquests. Very impressive considering the recent failures like Honorius. The last great Roman emperors in my opinion.

No. Pic related was.
>In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!" "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
Lmao it wasn't even fig season. Couldn't he just summon some angels to prove his point?
>>3229404
Angels aren't your personal army.
>>3229418
They can be if you have faith lmao.

I think it has something to do with the mustard seed parable.
Matthew 13:3-9
>3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
>4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
>5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
>6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
>7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
>8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
>9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Luke 13:6-9
>6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
>7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
>8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
>9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
Is all morality just LARPing?
I'm not a moral relativist but anymore I can literally just force myself to believe whatever ethical philosophy I want to. If i have enough reason to, I can be the best Christian on earth. Or I could march with socialists and denounce capitalism, or advocate for Islamic traditionalism. Most people seem to believe in a moral code one way or the other, but my lack of conviction leads me to believe I simply don't care.
Can /his/ tell me more about Ishmael? Why didnt he become the '' chosen''? Is it true that arabs are ishmaelites?
The same Esav isn't the chosen. The chosen are the descendants of Israel.
>Is it true that arabs are ishmaelites?
Eh, maybe. Ishmael probably didn't exit, but he could arguably represent Arabs.
>>3229388
Nope
Arabs divided into Arabized Arabs aka Adnanites(these are the Ishamelites) and True Arabs aka Qatanites
The Arabs are not Ishmaelites.
who are you even talking about op
