Why what?
Why the lion? Because it was the symbol of St. Mark, patron saint of the city.
Why the sword? Because it was a warflag.
Why the stripes? They represent the six 'sestieri', neighbourhood of Venice. They recur on a lot of venetian ornamental motifs, like on gondole.

How close is modern-day Judaism to the ancient faith depicted in the bible?

Judaism is not an unified religion, it has many branches
Orthodox Judaism is closest to traditional old testament Judaism, while kabbalism is hard to describe as Judaism at all
>>
>>3051201
Pretty close, obviously there a bunch of commandments modern Jews can't fulfill because there is no Temple.
>>
>>3051201
Samaritanism is much more close to ancient Israelite religion pre-Babylon.

1. YOU ARE DESCRIBING JUDEOCHRISTIANITY, NOT CHRISTIANITY.
2. YOU IGNORE WHAT AUTISM IS, SO, ABSTAIN FROM USING THE WORD "AUTISM" AS A DEROGATORY TERM.

Actually I turned away because I read the bible and it was probably the most horrifying thing I ever read. There's like 3 books that are in the "expected" category in the whole old testament. quite honestly by the end I was like 'how do people go around believing this stuff." I had to go an systematically disabuse myself of Abrahamism through a diet of fedora-tipping videos because I was losing sleep over this stuff. And man that Daniel prophecy was a toughy. So what if I'm going to hell? Is it somehow more significant to reject the bible with some amount of wilfulness than to simply be predamned like a majority of the world? Outside of my own tiny frame of reference, my damnation is entirely unremarkable.

Why do people feel the need to one-up themselves from everything else, and why do they try to demonize the opposition? (ex. Claiming it's immoral, promotes unequality, etc)

As a northern Republican, you can garantee you will only get very partisan opinions on Orange culture and they are generally extremely poor at public relations. While I despise a great many of their members who use it as a screen for supremicism I don't begrudge their identity. Check out Susan McKay's "Northern Protestants: An unsettled people" for an insider's critcal view on it, most of the other's like Root FuckUgly-Jedwards "Faithful Tribe" is a condescending hackjob not worthy of its subject

Before I get attacked, I know it's not real knowledge.
For me, it's a fun way to earn a stipend every semester, get to travel and keep attending school full-time.
Anyway, I'll be on a collegiate quiz team next month. I'm a STEM major, but want to learn a humanity to expand my question base (and also, because I actually want to learn)
Which would you recommend for someone that, forever, has hated history?
Literature/ Philosophy/ Religion/ Visual Arts/ Music/ Opera?
Listed in my level of interest, but I have a hard time reading books. I also would like to be able to sit at my first practice in a month and have them go 'Okay... not bad.'

Which to study for a personally rewarding experience, and hopefully a usable level of knowledge within two months.

2 months isn't enough time to scratch the bare surface of any discipline. you're better off just reading through an encyclopedia and familiarizing yourself with names, dates and concepts.

I was born so called "jewish" although I do not believe in judaism or in any other religion.
I am 100% atheist.
I believe there is no god and that we evolved from ape like ancestors through millions of years of evolution.
I came to this website thinking there will be quality historical debate in here.
I soon realized however that this site is full of nazis and is all about defaming us the so called "jews".
There isn't a single thread in here in which we the so called "jews" are not mentioned in some way or in which a caricature depicting us the so called "jews" doesn't appear.
Well you know what nazis ?.
You can keep posting your nazi drivel and caricatures of us the so called "jews" for another 999 trillion years.
I don't care, as I am leaving this nazi infested website for all eternity.
Nor do I care how any of you nazis is going to reply to this thread.
Once I press the grey "Post" button on the right I am going to immediately close the browser, delete all browsing history, close the browser and NEVER visit this website again.
Not even in 9999999999999999999999999999999999999 trillion years.
NEVER.
Goodbye for all eternity nazis.

I have a general idea of what it was like for Russian, Ukrainians, Balts etc, but what about the eastern peoples?
I never hear much about what it was like for them, and a lot of their countries were very underdeveloped so I imagine the USSR brought the greatest changes to them. Did the Soviets try to suppress Islam the same way it suppressed the Orthodox and Catholic churches?
And is it true that the Soviets sent mostly troops from Muslim-dominated SSRs to Afghanistan, because they thought they would interface better with the locals?

No, in fact one problem for the Azeris during the Nagorno-Karabakh War was that there were huge numbers of Armenian veterans from the Afghan war and very few Azeri veterans. Thus the Armenian military was better trained and experienced.

>>3050733
Was there a logic behind that disparity or was it unintentional?
>>
>>3050755
I don't know, and that's something I'd like to find out.
My best guess is that they were worried about Muslim soldiers defecting and joining the Afghan side, but I can't confirm that.
