Christian Militants have killed more people post 9/11 in america, but you know, higher population and all that.

Just check through this website in general.

Personal opinion, the refugee's aren't a big deal and are massively overblown in significance.

I consider myself gnostic but I do fuck-all research about christian gnosticism and the nag hammadi, my knowledge generally comes more from random readings of the kabbalah and the anthroposophical/rudolf steiner society

so yeah when you ask someone if they're gnostic as if they're Christian Gnostic.

>>433697

So for you Gnosticism = Occultism, in a sense?

>>433707
Gnosis, for me, means higher knowledge. A shaman doing hardcore drugs and inquiring the high spirits to grant him knowledge of "higher worlds" is a Gnostic as much as the buddhist who is meditating and trying to figure out the whole of reality is. Christian Gnosticism is less Gnosis for me and more like passing dogma and teachings down from ancient scripts.

So yeah, occultism would be gnosis in a certain way, but from what little I've read early christian Gnostics were actual Gnostics in their beginning.

he was just bitter because Hegel fucked a young girl he was trying to get at before him.

>>431940
He literally fucked anything he wanted.
>>431730
He was right about life, women, and suffering.
So yeah, pretty much everything.

>>431970
No he didn't. The hedgehog dilemma was something he came up with on the spot trying to get into a blonde's undergarments, and she rejected his manlet ass.

You're asking whether heaven or hell exists, not whether god does, they can be mutually exclusive.

>>431434
True, though that seems less probable.

People fail to appreciate the poetic language of religious texts, and how they explain human nature.

For example: I believe that Jesus was real and was really crucified and resurrected.

Jesus preached charity, egalitarianism, taught that good works help the world, preached against earthly titles, and taught that you should resist hedonistic desires.

Now you can follow Jesus' teachings and believe that He was crucified and resurrected. Or you can believe that Jesus didn't exist. His preachings, either way, still have philosophical value.

Epicrueanism and Stoicism.

Meant to say check out Epicetus and Stoicism, the link confused me.

I find Kirkeegaard easier to be relevant to atheism rather than Christianity. I doubt very many Christians would be fine with his anti-clergy stance. One can read his work metaphorically or by taking his concept of Faith and applying it to one's own creeds rather than a distant God. If you do this his words make perfect sense.

Depends on the subject.

Can analytic philosophy explain love?

Why do i see people spamming the same fucking shit threads all day?

>Can analytic philosophy explain love?

It can, but it depends on what kind of explanation you want. Do you want the scientific explanation, or the phenomenological explanation?

They were never a part of the Soviet Union and didn't undergo the social movement that swept Eastern Europe after the Berlin wall fell.

See, this is weird. By all means, NK ought to be SHREKD by the fall of the USSR. Its whole economy was dependent on them.

Purple is the Royal Color in Ancient Greco-Roman and classical world. Due to the fuck-expense of acquiring a specific type of purple: Tyrian Purple. Purple became associated with Nobility/Royalty in Yurop.

In China and large bits of East Asia, Yellow is the Royal Color. This is due to Ancient China and is based on two things
1) Color of Gold
2) The Yellow muddy color of the Huanghe river: the valleys that run through it being the homeland of the Chinese race, in which their legendary first Emperors -most likely tribal leaders- claimed power over the yellow silty water through irrigation and damming.

In either case, Yellow became the Imperial Color of the Chinese. Chinese influence then sent this notion across East Asia.

Inca
Gold =solar significance, called "sweat of the sun"
Silver = lunar significance, called "tears of the moon"

Aztecs
Jade = represents fertile earth
Turquoise = represents water/sky
The emperors' speech in illustrations would be shown as a blue scroll emanating from the mouth, symbolizing his divine authority.

That's interesting, thank you

I read an article about ultramarine blue. During Renaissance it was considered the color of the vest of Mary, related to humility and holiness. The pigment was made by grinding lapis lazuli extracted from caves in Afghanistan and browght to Europe by Italian merchants. It was extremely expensive and it was a true object of desire for every artist. Michelangelo didn't use any ultramarine on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel since he was the one paying his matherials, but when he painted the giudizio universale he used a lot of it for the sky, for the pope himself was financing him.

In 1826 the pigment was first obtained chemically and nowadays you can buy a buck of it for a few dollars. But one should remember that ultramarine blue, once considered the essence of the colour blue itself, was used with extreme care by artists in the past.

The 19th Century Europe.

During the medieval ages, Bras and panties were around, though garterless and secured by other means. So too was this big onesie underdress

In the East (well, China really), women had a loincloth and this bra/tank top thing called a dudou. Which is a sheet that is secured via a system of strings and supports the breasts.

It is currently undergoing a modern revival of sorts as a lingerie/tank top. Pic related.

In before the Lengburg castle 'bra and panties'

Its not a bra, it's part of a linen under dress with the bottom part removed. The pants are mens pants similar to the ones seen in dozens of paintings of stripped male martyrs.
