Historically speaking, Why does Christianity seem to be fond of anthormorphisizing God or any other entities related to God compared to the other Abrahamic religions that are out there which seem to dislike anthromorphization?

They turned their prophet into a God so it's inherently unstable theology
>>
>>3195995
Jesus becoming human, anthormorphisizing himself, is a big part of it. Another is the emphasis on having a relationship with God through Christ.
>>
>>3195995
Jesus being human and Greco-Roman tradition having human gods.

What is the benefits humanity gets from having to raise their kids for 12 to 15 years before they reach puberty? Is it really only because of our brains that this process takes this long?

I know it is part of pack behaviour, but wolves and other pack animals dont take nearly as long
6 posts and 1 images submitted.

Humans havent been pack for a long time, we still have some remnants of it but civilization is far more advanced than pack.
Human brains are very expensive in all respects, and human environment is much more vast than some forests and hills.
Female hips are not suited for a longer pregnant period than 9 months or so. So the majority of development happens out of womb so to speak.
Children develop in social settings as well as in family units. And have far too much to learn for one lifetime.
Humans have no natural predators, so no reason to mature quickly and sacrifice complexity.

The benefit is mastery of environment.

So we are essentially in an evolutionary dead end?
>>
>>3195840
Nope. Humans are so powerful, we're advancing faster than our biology. Its more like our biology is limiting us. Can you imagine how powerful we'd be if we could keep our greatest minds alive longer than 80-100 years?

Why does the Anglo get away with everything? I mean, literally every nation despises USA but why do they never seem to understand that the Anglo was the progenitor of all badness in the world?

It's like, nobody on 4chan ever brings this up (aside from me) and it just seems odd that they never get treated harshly even though they have done far worse than USA ever did.

Pic unrelated btw.

Is this fantasy armor or a legit knight armor from the Middle Ages? I can ID the helmet as a barbute but was it ever used with this kind of plate armor with chain mail in the neck?
18 posts and 13 images submitted.
>>
>>3195410
I'd say that it's somewhere in between.

Each individual piece of the armor is historically accurate, but the suit as a whole is not. Plate armor of that period should have a bevor protecting the neck, rather than an aventail. And that style of armor is meant to have rondels to protect the upper arm/armpit area. That's the biggest issue really, since it looks like this dude just has cloth there and the pauldrons/rerebraces don't extend down to cover the inner side of the upper arm as they would on armor that didn't have rondels.
>>
>>3195410
Barbutes didn't have visors.
>>
>>3195536
>I'd say that it's somewhere in between.
This.

>Plate armor of that period should have a bevor protecting the neck
I would say so too, the helmet seems atypical.

However, it should be added that people experimented with sallet-variants with integrated neck protection. For one there's this bellows visored sallet that was quite famously depicted here. I don't think the historical object it's based on still exists though, so the possibility that it's a composite of two different objects or a plain historicism is not quite unlikely.

Realistically, if the Nazi's devoted the time spent in grandiose parades and genocide to the war effort they would have been much more successful.

Now answer my question you fuck.
>>
>>3195119
You do realize the parades and Nuremberg rallies were years before the war and were set up with the intention of getting people to follow Hitler and prepared to go to war? Also resources were used poorly but the Nazis thought they would gain more once they took Baku and Moscow (which never happened).

Do you think commies would of had a better shot if they hadn't gone full fedora?

>centralized church had lost most of it's power by the late XIX and early XX century, not a threat to the power of the party
>socialism is a lot more in-line with traditional religious believes than capitalism is
>religious people still made up a majority of the world at the time
>a lot of people went full anti-commie based on them seeing it as being anti-church and by extension anti-traditional society

Not to mention that the successful communists, those in Asia, went to some lengths trying to integrate their government inside of the traditional philosophies of Buddhism, tho admittedly those being mainly philosophical and not so based on the belief of an actual god might have made that easier.

No.
Communism would only ever really work if humans stopped being gullible tribalist retards who actually think for themselves , want to grow as a civilization ,not as cultuire of "ME" - stepping over everyone to get what I want - and don't function on us vs them, external/internal enemy to blame all of my shortcomings on.

It's never gonna happen. You would need a literal hivemind.

Communism also falls into the "us vs them" mentality.
>>
>>3194962
its proponents want to get rid of it by abolishing classes - by force if necessary, and that's why it's broken
it cannot be achieved because one of its tenets calls for people to behave like fucking monkeys to achieve a utopia

it's shit
