Is this book historically accurate?

Obviously not, 'Palestinian' is a completely made up identity that was created in the 20th Century.

I'm not assmad, I'm just a Jew.
I don't care what Nietzsche says, Christian morality is beautify. It is the the meeting of beauty and truth. Humility, meekness and selfless poverty are beautiful. Crying to God in anguish over your sins is beautiful. Conquest, rape and power are nothing compared to this beauty.

Amen.

Anyone familiar with Islam can give me some positive aspects of the religion?
Normally when you hear of Islam you hear about the worst of it like how misogynistic and antiquate is, so I was wondering if anyone here can give me some positive elements of it.

Is there an alternative flag for your country that you'd like to see used?
>tfw no monarchy flag
Scotland's "fascist" one is pretty nice too.

So many Irish on this board. Is history a big subject in Irish schools?
>>2967838
Looks like another cuckstamp monarchs flag. Communist flag is definitely the best.
We must attack the soft underbelly of the Axis.
>"The expression 'hmmm cheque please!' was coined when, after a working lunch, Churchill remarked to the visiting Secretary of State, 'we must first begin by attacking the soft underbelly of the dragon.' Confused and frustrated, the Secretary reclined in his chair and exclaimed, 'Hmmmm cheque please!" [4]
>>2991246
I'm sure that fat fuck knew everything about soft underbellies

He may have been a fat, evil, beady, bigoted, classist, FUCKING WHITE MALE, but he wasn't wrong.
How can the concept of hell be compatible with an omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and omniscient creator?
>>2990732
God making us intrinsically good is not the same as creating a flawed version that overcomes good. To truly be good, one has to overcome evil, since there is no good without evil. Evil is something we can learn from, something that can make us see why we should be good. In a way, evil helps us be better than good.
That, or one can simply say, idk, God probably knows something I don't, so I trust he's doing it with the best intentions that I may understand in the next life.
>>2990732
>omnibenevolent
Well, I think it has more to do with justice than anything else.
Hardcore Christians emphasize God is just, so good people are rewarded and bad people are punished, iirc
>>2990732
>omnibenevolent
There's your problem right there. That atheist strawman that does not apply to God.
People who want to live with God forever have a place prepared for them to do so.
People who want to be separated from God forever have a place prepared for them to do so.
Everyone gets what they want.
What's wrong with that?

The rest I agree with my good sir, but I beg to differ when defending this position. I don't personally hold this view, but can see its merit as while a strict only-the-strong-survive kind of scoiety will be inhumane and with a lot of internal conflict, technically it results in an almost unrivaled resolve and strength in the surviving members, AKA literally the bes of the best

Why was pop art the last major art movement in the west? Have we done it all?
>>2987034
You need to understand what pop art is and specifically Warhols aesthetic. Up until Warhol, there was a large amount of labor that went into a single art piece. Even degenerate art that was considered detrimental to society still had the hard brushstroke of the artist encased in its canvas. It took time and work to create a good art piece essentially. Warhol changed all this with meshing the mass-production technologies of his day with his own work. Even though he still sunk countless hours into creating his work, the mass production of it sort of took away its perception as valuable. The public no longer saw time and production value as an essential key to successful art. Art now was focused towards message incased within the work. From this art sort of degenerated into what the scene is now. Absurd things like simple brushstrokes or solid canvases are accepted as art because it's no longer about quality and message, but just message. Because simple art projects can convey large messages, talented artists have stopped becoming known to the public
>>2987506
You're not wrong, but it's important to note that social media and the general "excess" wealth being created as we enter the ai age is already reversing this. Look at the guy who does 'Primative Technologies' on YouTube for instance.
>>2987506
That's pure horseshit m8
You've constructed your narrative first with absolutely no deference to even simple things like dates; for example "solid canvases" might well refer to pieces like Rauschenberg's White Paintings of the early 50s, only a few years after what might be considered very earliest of pop art and a decade before Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans and Marilyn Diptych; similarly Yves Klein's monochromes of the 1950s, and it wouldn't take any imagination to draw their history back to something like Malevich's Black Square of 1915. "Simple brushstrokes" could describe many abstract expressionist works which also predated pop art.
Aisha was Muhammad's (pbuh) favourite wife and was a very significant female power figure in the early Caliphate.
I don't understand why is is considered so major that Muhammad (pbuh) had sex with her when she was 19. Mary was only 13 when she gave birth to Prophet Jesus (pbuh).
>>2987013
pbuh?
>>2987013

FTFY
Muhammad was a pedophile.

If Buddhist don't believe in an eternal soul or Atman then what goes into the pure lands after death?
The subtle body. Another level of anatta.
>>2986882
What are these things?
>>2986940
>Anatta
Non-self. According to Buddhism, all physical and mental phenomena are non-self.
>Subtle body
Or Sambhogakaya is the level of manifestation where you experience the rewards and punishments of karma after death, analogous to the soul in Greek and Christian thought. It is still a temporary state subject to Samsara.
Hey guys.
So I just finished my third year at uni (archaeology and classical studies) and I have a fuck ton of PDFs hanging around, and I figured I'd like to share them with my favorite historical shitposting forum. How do I do that?
>>2985488
You can use Google Drive if you want people to be able to open them online. However if you just want to store and share with a neat interface, I suggest you to use Mega.nz (and to supply the link)
Thanks for the share, dude, your contribution is appreciated
>>2985504
thanks man
>>2985488
1) Find a file-sharing website. (eg. Mediafire)
2) Post your files on it.
3) Share links.
Why does Europe, compared to Asia or Africa, bear so much phenotypical variance in every sector, from hair type/color, eye color, nose shape, lip thickness, skin tone, etc., while the populations of Asia and Africa are comparatively uniform?
