I personally put more stock into the idea that Christianity is just a sham, but I'm still not sure. I feel like the only arguements in support of the religion that I've heard are little more than "muh faith". I do want to hear the other side of the issue, so please feel free to discuss

Define "Validity". The historical veracity of Jesus's existence is pretty much accepted as a fact. Every legitimate historical scholar accepts that Jesus was a man who lived in Galilee at the time that the bible says he did, that he was baptized by John the Baptist, that he traveled the land as a preacher and spoke of Salvation and the Coming Kingdom of God, and that he was eventually Crucified under the orders of Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate. This is much is basically considered irrefutable by modern historians.

As for validity of "Jesus Christ is the Messiah" beyond simple faith, it IS worth noting that Jesus was hardly the only figure at the time who was considered to be the Messiah by his followers. It was actually relatively commonplace at the time; Roman Occupied Judea had scores of men claiming to be the Jewish Messiah who would lead God's Chosen People to overthrow their oppressors. The real difference is that most of these Messianic Sects either fizzled out or just extinguished after the head of them died, but Christianity only grew stronger and more popular after Christ's Crucifixion. There are numerous reasons you could give for this, but you can probably guess which ones followers of Christianity go for.

Both of these are correct, though you have to keep in mind that 'The Messiah' was supposed to create a new Jewish state immediately. Not die on a cross as some bullshit sacrifice.

That said, you could argue that the destruction of Rome by Christianity was miraculous and fulfillment of the prophecies saying Rome would be destroyed.

>though you have to keep in mind that 'The Messiah' was supposed to create a new Jewish state immediately. Not die on a cross as some bullshit sacrifice.

That's subject to interpretation though; Christians will point to the idea of the "Kingdom of God" that is attributed to Christ, and the idea that a universal kingdom of the Lord in which all believers are a part of was established through him.

In this context, many passages that were meant to predict the coming of the messiah ("Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance", "He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations", "Knowledge of God will fill the world", "He will be a messenger of peace", "Death will be swallowed up forever", etc.) seem to be fulfilled.

Because Jews secretly control the entire world. How they could pull that off without being racially inferior?

Jews are fucking ugly as they stink. You tend to think of people like that as inferior subconsciously even if they're actually smart.

Enlighten me about Anarcho-Feminism friends. In a classless society where the merits of the individual are key would women not have a severe disadvantage due to their physical inferiority? Let's say it blunty, what prevents men from overpowering women when they feel like it with little repercussions because they don't have the strenght to fight back.

To me it seems like women have more benefits living in a law state than an anarchist one. Atleast here their rights are protected by society and the law.

>what prevents men from overpowering women
A culture which shuns unnecessary violence, of course.
And don't expect women (or anyone who's in any way marginalized by the status quo) to be defended by the law; it's fairly obvious that laws have been selectively enforced for as long as there have been laws.

Also, anarchism means "no rulers" not "no rules."
>>
>>1163408
Anarchism isn't lawless chaos.

It's a responsibility for people to look out for each other, which includes protecting from rapists and such. And since in the absence of prisons or anything of the sort every crime would probably be met with the death penalty or other such street justice.

To give an example, if you rape someone then her friends and male relatives would probably murder you and this would be received as justified by the community thus protecting them from revenge killings.
