No.

Hitler was fucked as soon as he failed to take Moscow, and even if he had his troops would have been bled dry in the east trying to hold down everything west of the Urals and eventually Britain and the US would probably have fucked them up.

We should never forget the Nuclear bombs in this.
As long as the Germans stayed at war with the US they had that little timer ticking them.

>>801758
>D Day doesn't happen
>Germany wins in russia
>America drops A-Bombs on both Germany and Japan and they surrender
Better outcome?

I guess losing the liberation of france without A-Bombs would be bad culturally.

Because humans don't live too long.

What's the alternative?

>>801605
Why does there have to be an alternative? Is all the war and hatred we have today with the multiple religious institutions worth a simple alternative?

>>801332
1. There are no virtuous people.
2. Everyone deserves to go to hell.
3. We all started in the same place, and are all related.

Anything else?

>>801332
Shitty Op grammar, sorry.
How have, the various Christian Churches, through history chosen to explain that people who by Christians standards have been sent to hell simply because never accepting Christ?
Many of them never even had the slightest chance to accept Christ, such as the American Indians before Columbus.

>>801355
So how do people deserve to go to heaven?

i don't know Anon why don't you listen to the man and judge for yourself:

I don't know why you guys idolize the Crusades.

It was 1 successful campaign, then 200 years of getting a humiliating ass-kicking.

No amount of DEUS VULT memes will ever change that.

When did Judaism become a closed religion that was against proselytizing? I know they were forced to stop proselytizing in a lot of instance, but they still carried on such activities at least into the Middle Ages, since the Khazars converted in large numbers. Now conversion to Judaism is strongly discouraged, but it was pretty common in ancient Judaism, even in the Bible (Exodus 12:38). There are many passages about foreigners among the Jews and it is said to treat them "as one born among you" (Leviticus 19:34) , which indicates the foreigners having converted to Judaism and needing acceptance, since Jews wouldn't even eat with non-Jews, and treating someone as a born Jew who wasn't a convert doesn't seem likely.

Basically what I'm asking is, when did it start to be a thing in the Talmud to discourage proselytizing?

after the second destruction of the temple

Did you read all of the OP? The last greentext was 524 CE.

>Why were flails even a thing?
Yes
>They require abigger swing than regular mace
Non-Fantasy shit like yors dont.
>They look like shit so no swag points
Opinions. For one thing they're a classic heavy metal staple.

>>800785
>Why were flails even a thing?

Im guessing its because its just a weaponized version of a peasant tool which means that commoners would already be semi proficent in its use.

>>800785
the flail travels in a straighter line and less energy is wasted

It's bullshit
There is no iron clad tactic that beats all others.
If there was everyone would be using it.

>>800765
how the fuck does a horse archer defeat a heavily mailed knight? i read about feinting retreats and drawing out/breaking formation, but i still dont get how the mongols just rolled over everything. did no one in russia wear mail? What about Legnica?

>>800820
Mongol arrows can penetrate heavy plate/mail armor at mid/close range, not by a lot, but still enough to eventually kill someone. Since the heavy cavalry can never catch up to them, they just keep shooting until all the gueilos die/flee

Is this bait, or are you serious about wanting to forget God?

Try to remember the Euphoric times when you could revel in degeneracy, weed smoke and hedonism and know in your heart that no God will judge you for Man is his own master of Fate

Excuse me OP, but how is this causing you problems? Is it limiting you in any way?
How did you become religious without clearly wanting to become one? Did something happen?

Pretty sure that is not old Flemish but more of a middle Dutch or Middle Flemish Poem.

freely translated:


When we were still Frisian Flemings,
and acknowledged Wralda and Odin,
came from Ireland and England here
a wonderous saga and a new teaching.
From the far hot south came a northern light
broader even than the Meditterranean Sea
where we had settled on a shore made of rocks.
A strange message got to us.
From God (Od) came a human reflection,
and God spoke Truth to the north,
a straight and royal road.
A Son, they told us, from God's own kin,
found by sheperds in a shabby crib.
By Thor! At first we didn't know what to think
whether this message was good or evil.
Yet this mare flew blindly
from the north to the Baltic Sea with the wind!
The Frisians didn't care,
and they had no reason to take up arms.
Because on Walcria the fire burnt,
the ships hunted proud in Sincfal. [Zealand]
Before we were united with England and Ireland,
before the sea separated us.
We loved the message, the freedom star,
and listened whether more messages came from afar.
Wralda and Odin still stand,
since before the beginning of the Tree [of Life?] until its end.

This poem was passed on in oral tradition, and was written down in the 19th century.

In contrast to the rest of Flanders, who are mostly descended from Salian Franks (Sicambrians), West-Flanders is mainly descended from Frisian,Saxon and Chaucian sea-farers, which affects the dialect still today. West-Flemish dialect is very close to medieval Frisian.

The Frisians became Arian Christians around the 4th-5th century, long before the fall of Rome.

In the area we still have places that refer to the old pagan days, and many names of catholic holy men that replaced the old germanic pagan gods:

Torhout : originally Thoraldi lucus in 743AD, meaning "forest of the mighty Thor"

nearbij are:
Wijnendale, originally Winin dala, Winj meaning Wodan or Odin, dala from talen, litt. languages, a "speaker's corner", from remains we have we know it was a sort of public meeting place, and court to speak justice

Curious how they knew England and the continent were once connected.

It's not phi that attracts polsters it's all the religious threads.

anon, I'll have you know that my ass is of normal complexion

hippies will insist they remain uncontacted because the west is evil and racist, then in the grimdark future when liberal western observers are no longer around the locals will genocide them

>>799839
>What's in the future for them?

Sadly they don't have one. When they finally do make contact, disease will kill nearly al of them.

What's the story behind the pic?
