>it's the "stalin was preparing to attack muh good boi hitler who dindu nuffin wrong" meme again

>>876339
Oh chill the fuck up. Both ideologies were on a road to impacting each other, there was no question IF war would happen, but when.

>>876342
even if we somehow agree with this opinion, then 44 is way, way, way too early - what we do actually know (as opposed to icebreaker-tier tinfoil hat speculations) is that just before the invasion (in 40-41, basically a couple months prior) stalin instructed his staff to consider the possibility of a german invasion in the upcoming "couple of years" and that is what they primarily planned for at the time, an overall defensive plan against a german invasion a few years down the road, a far cry from invading germany/europe

It's not fair or unfair

It merely is

Judge all you'd like, they'd judge us the same way. It's what people do.

>>876209
>Is it fair to judge events, people, and policies in history by modern moral and ethical standards, or should one strive only to judge them by the standards of the time period they occurred in?

If you're a historian, such judgements go against disciplinary criteria and will see you rapidly become not a historian.

>Is it fair to judge events, people, and policies in history by modern moral and ethical standards

Of course not, how could it possibly be?

Tell that to the scared little kids who cry and beg for hours to get out of a little shot they forget about in seconds.

all I know is I read somewhere that the Persians invading Greece didn't sack Delphi because they interpreted Apollo as a Greek version of their god Ahuramazda

No idea if that's true or not

>>876037
>How did foreigners take to Greco-Roman Interpretatio of their gods?

They didn't seem to care. Certainly the Celts seemed content to simply use both names when talking about their gods, you find inscriptions to "Mercury Teutatis" or "Sullis Minerva".

>>876037
Jews got seriously butthurt.

hinduism isn't polytheistic, and is actually more monastic than abrahamic religions

>>875984
Obviosuly we need to return to the original indo-european religion, the only true religion for aryans. Hail Dyeus Phater

>>875984
Why are they so smug

Someone explain the "Christianity is more atheist than atheism" talk, because it just looks like someone misunderstanding both the resurrection and Darwin's place in the history of science and I can't imagine that is what is actually going on

>>875794
fetishism of the hand which is the instrument of making/manipulation with the fetishism of the vagina which is the instrument of life, the combination or rather the interaction of the two gives insight into the fetish-perversion of the modernity, he explains it in one of the books

>>875816

The idea is that, according to Zizek's materialist theology, Christianity consists in accepting that there is nobody who can take our place in caring for our fellow man, not even an abstract deity, because in Christian theology this abstract deity takes on concrete human flesh and dies. As for his take on the Ressurection, well, Zizek isn't a Christian, he's a Communist interpreting Christian theology to fill pages. That's where the basic structure of the claim that "Christianity is more atheist than atheism" falls apart: Christianity can't be atheistic, it's a matter of definitions. But, again, Zizek isn't motivated by a desire to be correct about Christian theology, or even about Marxist theory, desu. He wants you to buy his book about Hegel.

I have a very hard time taking psychoanalysis seriously. It might be because I don't even understand the context in which the discourse is meant to be employed.

It wasn't. Remember, the idea of unwanted mental conditions as something medical and not some evil spirit inside you is fairly recent.

ergo, Germany (as long as you're not a jew)

>>873697
Without any knowledge of future, 30s German would be my choice too.

Clearly an adaptation of Christianity and Judaism, given the same god, teachings, holy books, holy figures, etc.

I don't see anything pagan remaining in the religion.

Though it does make one wonder about Mohammed's religious beliefs before being visited. Supposedly he would have been pagan, but there were huge Christian and Jewish influences in the region at the time.

>>873588
>arabic paganism
Don't ya mean Abrahamic paganism? Com'on, it's Judaism III.

None, the message which has been given to banu israil but with no distortion.

Polytheists pls go.

>Mormons can't drink soda

Well, they can't drink hot beverages like tea or coffee. Which frankly seems worse than not drinking soda because soda is worse for you.

>Mormons are polygamists

Well they were originally. I don't see how they can blame anyone but themselves for this unfortunate fact

>Mormons can't use condoms

I think that's Catholics, actually

>Mormons aren't Christians

They aren't trinitarian, which would make them not Christians according to many theologians.

>Mormons believe God is an alien

No, they just believe Yaweh was once a man, or man-like being who was created by a more powerful being and resided near a star called Kolob. And that Jesus and Satan were his sons. To a Catholic, Oriental, or Orthodox Christian, this seems just as heretical as God being an alien

>Mormons tried to overthrow the government

Strawman. You're trying to deflect criticism from real events like the Mountain Meadows Massacre

>Mormons can't have beards

It isn't outright prohibited in writing but like many cultural practices there is an unspoken bias against beards.

>>873528
>implying recognition of the god head being three distinct beings is polytheistic
>implying the "trinity" isnt intentional double think that has never found anything even close to an apologetic response
