Why are iron, salt, and other minerals thought to repel malicious spirits?

They are rare/valuable commodities. Also salt preserves and purifies food and iron is used to make steel, the idea they change and purify things.
>>
>>936816
Disease had, in many cultures, been thought to be caused by malicious spirits.
Disease is instead usually caused by some variety of microbial colonization or from toxins created by microbes.
Salt and minerals like silver create conditions that inhibit microbial growth.
This inhibition reduces instances of disease among practicing humans.
Thus, "malicious spirits" have been warded away by the use of such items..

Okay, got a good idea that is almost exactly like another idea that has already been done and is somewhat successful:

How do we bring back armoured fighting? Specifically to America. The Euros and Russians have their thing (with a few Americans) but the there isn't really anything for us Americans here in America. Is there a way to change that? How would we drum up the interest in watching armoured lads bash each other with a weapons? Americans love violence so it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to do, honestly.

Any ideas? I think if it could be promoted and marketed correctly it could take off pretty well.

Law of Attraction is new age stupid bullshit that gets used by charlatans to try to sell you their courses/books/audiobooks/etc. If you need such a crutch to live your life, perhaps you should re-evaluate your life and look for something that is less of a faggy meme.

Can you guys help me into Taoism?

I've been reading the Tao Te Ching a bit and some of it speaks to me. The "Wu wei" concept particularly resonated.

I need some better interpretations and more viewpoints on it though.

Does Judaism stem from Atenism?

>>935611
There's interesting evidence to suggest so.
>>
>>935611
probably the result of Atenism meeting Mesopotamian mythology.
>>
>>935611
Probably this and a combination of ethnic Cannanite beliefs. The obsession with bulls seems to suggest common ground with the polytheistic paganism of the area. There's also evidence of Yahweh being depicted as some kind of horned god.

Why weren't chemical weapons used more in wwii?
11 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>934616
They were probably banned after WWI in general. Hitler had been on the receiving end of them personally in WWI so he refused to use them.
>>
copypastad from some internet shitdick

>Like many people I had believed in the story that Hitler did not want to use gas because of his own trauma in the first world war (he was injured in a gas attack and temporarily blinded). It seems that this what not the case and that in fact Germany had produced large quantities of gas to be used to some extent against Great Britain, but mostly on the eastern front.

>According to the article the use of gas against Britain was hampered by the fact that by the time chemical weapons where available in large quantities there was no way to deliver them (the A4 rockets had not enough payload for a large scale attack and planes could by that time not easily operate above british soil).

>But apparently what really stopped the german plans was the fact that the allied forces had upped the ante by developing biological weapons which where (supposedly at least) much more deadly than mere poison gas. Germany had no big programs to develop biological weapons since Hitler did not believe they had enough potential to be useful (as I understand the article this had no deeper reason and was simply a misjudgment on his part. Apparently some Nazis underlings had run small developement progamms in concentration camps but (rather luckily) could not convince Hitler to allow large scale production). By the time the full potential/danger of biological weapons was recognized it was too late to catch up.

>So the authors conclude that the Nazis did not use chemical warfare because the allies could issue a plausible threat to retaliate with much more deadly and uncontainable biologicals weapons...


My immediate uneducated assumption was Hitler's personal experience with poison gas in the trenches, but the above plus the fact the wermacht used horses to pull equipment and no viable horse gas mask had been created.

I want to smell their chemical weapons if you know what I mean.

All mainstream Christians believe that the story of the Garden of Eden is literal: the whole deal with the talking snake and a God that was personally walking on Earth and a tree with magic fruits.

See, if the story is not literal, then original sin is not real, and if original sin is not real, then the entire purpose of Christ's death and supposed resurrection (which the mythology states was necessary to absolve the original sin present in all men due to Eve's eating of the apple) was un-necessary

However, most - particularly Catholics - realize how ridiculous it is to believe in it literally, so the explain by saying it was a 'metaphor'.

Allegoricalism is heresy.

Popes are antichrists. The RCC is the continuation of the Babylonian mystery religion.

Going to be interesting to see how many jump ship as soon as Elizabeth croaks. My guess would be at least half of "commonwealth" nations, maybe more.
