I've never seen it outside of stormfag propaganda videos.

>>571633
Why are you watching stormfag propaganda videos?

Is there something you're not telling us?

>>571628
What am I looking at

>>571621
Gnosticism relies on the historical existence of Jesus Christ. There is no legitimate evidence supporting this belief. Gnosticism, therefore, is unsupported.

>>571626

Gnosticism predates Christ.

>>571632
OP has a pic of Valentinus...why wouldnt I assume he's speaking Gnostic Christianity?

If, however, he's speaking of pre-Christian Gnosticism...then I would say it has the same problem as any other religion of it type, especially Buddhism:

>rejecting the physical world for admiration of the spiritual

But this assumes there is a spiritual world.
And what is the spiritual world anyway?
Where is it? When is it? Can you point to it?
If not..it isn't there.
The physical world is the world you have, so why shun it for something you can't even define?

A negligible length of time. A difference of days, at most.

>tfw your life's work was not only widely ignored during your lifetime, but to add insult to injury the vast majority of people who appreciate it posthumously are nihilistic degenerates who don't understand it.

>The Egyptians were willing to fight, to the last Syrian

>>571328

Same way a lot of the colonial wars happened. Technological edge, and even more so, a modern western military discipline and training against poorer tactical and operational troops lead to extremely lopsided results.

I heard the Irish was slaves

>>571314
It did happen but never on an industrial-esque scale, and it wasn't nearly as race driven.

But yes it did happen. I know there were some African slaves in England in the middle ages (but I lost my source, so you're just gonna have to call me a liar or take my word for it)

>>571314

Greece and Rome.
Depending on how loose you want to be with your definitions, bondsmen, serfs and your average feudal peasant were basically slaves.

If you have that many dudes, why would you not send all of them?

>>571180
Didn't they have elite assassins?

>>571185

But they didn't have "that many dudes", sending that much force to Judea left the border stripped up by the Danube; and while nothing slipped through at the time, it was a pretty nasty risk to take.

Not to mention the expense in shipping troops halfway across the empire. Generally, the Emperors wanted to keep the troops where they were if at all possible.

Yes. Look at the abbos

>>571150
The incas did okay without the wheel, they just developed crazy long distance running skills.

Those fuckers could get fresh fish for the Inca, who lived in Cusco, like, really far from the shore

Make it forgotten.

You can't, if it's the real god.

Before some atheist come in here and claim agnosticism is the same thing as atheism

>agnosticism
In the popular sense of the term, an agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves in the existence of God, while a theist believes that God exists, an atheist disbelieves in God."

Do you believe in God?
Theist: Yes
Atheist: No
Agnostic: Maybe or I will neither confirm nor deny

Don't overthink it

Atheism isn't a moral code or a political philosophy.

>le pope is infallible may may xDD
Confirmed for not knowing dick about theology or the Church's history in general.

The Pope is only infallible when speaking ex cathedra, this is the only time the Holy Spirit will not allow him to say a heresy. Ex cathedra has only been used a handful of times in the Church's history, and none of them were used to condemn Protestants.

That said, I'm glad they burned them. Proddies are heretical fucks who completely rewrite Scripture to serve their own purposes. It's a shame the Church is too neutered to have a good old human barbecue again like the good ol' days.

>>570913
The Roman Church was the creation of the Babylonian Brotherhood and the Pope still wears a mitre shaped like a fish head to symbolize Nimrod.

The Chair of St. Peter in the Vatican was claimed to be a holy relic, but in 1968 it was exposed by a scientific commission as being no older than the 9th century. More significantly, according to the Catholic Encyclopaedia, is that it is decorated by twelve plates portraying the twelve labours of Hercules.

Hercules was another name for Nirmod before becoming a deity of the Greeks.

In 1825, Pope Leo XII authorized the production of a jubilee medal and it depicted a woman in a pose that was blatant symbolism of Queen Semiramis. She had a crucifix in her left hand, a cup in her right and on her head was a seven raved crown like the one on the Statue of Liberty, another depiction of Semiramis which was given to New York by French Freemasons.

Sociopathic behaviour?

That is to say - ignoring other people's emotions and pain in order to maintain and further your own happiness. In fact possibly even getting happiness from seeing others suffer. I think most people have a bit of it - its a growing aspect of capitalist society, kill or be killed, and be cold or you will lose out.

yah its called putting a filter on things you dont want to see/hear

and unfiltering the things you want to see/hear

>>570809
I don't think it's fair to put 'indifference' under the same category as 'sociopathic behaviour.' necessarily. If you get some sort of fetishistic satisfaction from it, then yeah, but just saying "that's how it goes sometimes lol" doesn't seem sociopathic to me.

People have always hated the jews

The leaders were Occultists posing as Christians, while the mass of fodder were brainwashed peasants.

>>570746
Leaders would take money from jews and then needed to justify not paying them back, so the jews were demonized. source:Crusader kings 2

I laughed when in King of Kings, he mentions that the entire series was him trying to find a starting point to talk about Cleopatra.

>>570647
that happened to me too

but i thought blueprint for armageddon, given the name, was going to cover both WW1 and WW2 and the cold war or something

but holy shit 20 hours of ww1. based.
