The SJW arguments all amount to people being born underprivileged or overprivileged and having no free will. "He had no choice to join gangs" or "She had no choice to have the abortion", or "Poor people have no choice but to do violent crime" and similar arguments. If you look at most American liberal arguments it amounts to "nobody has free will and we are all predestined to do everything". Also similar to Puritans is that they also consider everything super offensive and are very into guilt culture and being born with guilt for being any category the SJW culture deems as bad but at the same time believing they were born to be bad and had no free will.
WASPs were mostly pretty conservative, but there were some self-hating WASPs like Randolph Bourne
>>16597288Between Aquinas and Sartre honestly
>>16596576The SJW arguments come down to guilt for being born a certain identity and being born with "total depravity" for being born into an identity. The arguments also amount to nobody having free will and free will not being a real thing.
>>16597492It's about how the SJW arguments result from having no concept of free will and extreme sense of "being born guilty". SJWs will over and over again tell you that people have absolutely no choice over what they do and that some people are just born guilty.
>>16596524Growing up we never got the full story: puritans were actually anti-fun cunts who led a revolution in England, placed tight social controls on the nation, and were rightfully hated for being treasonous political agitators who wanted everyone to follow their draconic religious laws. The story we were told is that they were poor sods who were being persecuted. The full story is, English society was 10000% right to hate them>>16596565Oliver Cromwell was the posterchild shabbos goy. Serves his legacy right for getting in bed with jews.
>Protector of the Indians (Spanish: Protectoría de Los Indios) was an administrative office of the Spanish colonies that deemed themselves responsible for attending to the well-being of the native populations by providing detailed witness accounts of mistreatment in an attempt to relay their struggles and a voice speaking on their behalf in courts, reporting back to the King of Spain.

Are buddhists just nihilist's in denile?
>>16597008Early Buddhism and Theravada are definitely nihilism. Mahayana is schizo gibberish.
>>16597596So basically Buddha is saying that life is suffering and that is why he wanted to live an ascetic and simple life so he had few attachments that could make him suffer. Like supporting a king pr a leader, taking care of your children, having a wife, having material things, etc.Did he abandon his wife and children forever or he helped them in some way during his life?
Buddhism is about purification. Nirvana is absolute purity, and there are states "on the way" to nirvana (e.g. brahmavihara) that are markedly purer than ordinary life. It's only nihilism if you think that reality reduces to nothing, in which case that's your own problem. The Buddha himself regarded that view (ucchedavada) as fundamentally deluded.Let me put it another way. Nirvana is categorized as the unconditioned phenomenon (asankhata dhamma). Obviously "nothing" cannot be called a phenomenon; more tersely, "nothing" is not real.
>>16597657>So basically Buddha is saying that life is sufferingNo, the First Noble Truth is that suffering is a part of life.>Did he abandon his wife and children forever or he helped them in some way during his life?During the period in which he abandoned them they lived in the absolute heights of wealth and luxury with hundreds of doting servants and guardians. After he returned they both joined is sangha as renunciates and lived with him, and both eventually attained enlightenment.
>>16597738So he returned to his kingdom? I didn't know that. Cool that he returned to be with his wife and children, I like that.
In the sexual market males with more social worth (looks, skills, networking) are inherently better than masses of beta npcs. With the fall of Socialism monogamy declined and fell, female empowerment meant they have no reason to put up with average Joe anymore.

>>16597197Cope>In Athens, for example, a man and a woman who were considered ugly were selected as scapegoats each year.

>>16597217Extremely delusional post. A ritual where in one city state they once a year beat ugly people doesn't imply that "ugly people used to not be allowed to breed". Tall people are inefficient and obsolete. A correlation coefficient of .2 is nothing, especially when we can isolate the variables that actually correlate with intelligence (height isnt one of them). Tall men aren't even going to exist in a few years. They're going to be genetically engineered out of the genepool directly. No reason to waste resources on large people going forward in this era of science.Cope more buddy.

Why will God send me to burn in hell forever if I choose not to believe in Him? I never asked to exist, but since I do, shouldn't I be able to do what I want without being judged by Him?

>>16597231Are you saying that God could rape, and there would be no consequences because he doesn't require my consent?Damn, is that how women feel?
>>16597215Fruit is the seed of a plant. It is designed to fall off and rot to make compost for the seed to grow a new tree.
>>16597244Women are literally built for being raped by their husbands. Such is the way of Christianity.
>>16597244No, you're saying that. Being born is not violence. Existing is not violence. Refusing to eat and then starving to death is not violence. Similarly, refusing to love God and being damned is not violence. There are things which you must do in life to survive.If even the creation of life requires the consent of that life then every mother is a criminal and should be punished. Since the only people who believe that are people I tricked into being antinatalists years ago because I hate them, I don't feel inclined to take such a claim seriously.

The idea of the Christian God being omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent is logically incoherent and self-contradictory. In a dualistic religion like Christianity, you have a supreme good deity but also an opposing force of evil, like Satan or the Devil.If Satan truly exists as a separate, powerful entity, it inherently limits and undermines the supposed omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence of God. If Satan has any degree of agency, power, or influence in the universe, then God cannot be truly omnipresent, as there would be realms or domains where that evil holds sway.The existence of Satan means God cannot be omniscient, since he lacks complete knowledge of Satan's actions, intentions, and the full extent of his influence. An omniscient being, by definition, must have perfect, comprehensive knowledge of all things, which is impossible if there is an opposing force acting independently.The presence of Satan directly contradicts the idea of God being omnipotent or all-powerful. If Satan can challenge, defy, or counteract God's will in any way, then God cannot be truly omnipotent, as his power is limited by the existence of the opposing force of evil.Essentially, the concept of a dualistic system with a good deity and an evil Satan inherently denies and refutes the possibility of that good deity being omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. Such absolute, unlimited qualities can only logically exist in a panentheistic system with a single, supreme, unchallenged God.
>>16597608I do, but this does not make me independent from God as I will still be judged in the last judgement
>>16597527In truth, Satan would be an arm of God to force the most desirable ending. Not to mention by setting up a hostile enemy, you can foster the dependence of followers onto a good arm, like Jesus Christ. Christ saves you from Satan, but if Christ was all-good and all-powerful why doesn't he just stop him? Ah, because no one would need Christ if there were no Satan. You only need a savior if there's something to be saved from.
>>16597669So God will judge himself?
>>16597673So God is both Satan and Christ?
>>16597688If you truly accept that God is beyond good and evil and has appointed these two divine beings to play the role of the lords of good and evil, then you cannot accept that it is God, but rather an extension or manifestation that has certain anthropomorphic characteristics which seeks to guide humans towards a particular destiny. If God is in total control, then He is in fact controlling Satan as must as He is Christ. That's not the actual situation though, it's far more complex than that. The god of Christianity, however, does use that kingdom of light and darkness false dichotomy to take power though.
Why are historians so quick to assume the accusations had no merit? All this time spent looking for explanations for the “hysteria,” why not consider there was some truth to it?
Because magic is not real. Grow up.
Israel has a higher birth rate than India.How is that even possible?
>>16597330Aren't they importing Indians in Israel? Probably why.
>>16597384It's Judea
>>16597554The Secular Jews and most of the government in Israel hate the Haredi.They did this in the US too.I forget where, but the city with the largest worth poverty rate and most welfare recipients per capita is an Orthodox Jewish community like North of the Bronx in NYC. But, the funny thing is, everyone in NY knows they're committing welfare fraud on a mass scale and do nothing about it.
>>16597647The city is Kiryas Joel. The Israel government dislike Haredi because they take in a shit ton in welfare and are growing in large numbers.
>>16597590>What is a dead weight?Someone who does literally nothing but take resources from other people.>>16597579>or do they all just stay and make more Haredi?This one. Y'know how the Bible says that Jews are a Priestly Nation, Chosen by the Volcano Demon to rule over the goyim, to lounge and expound the Torah to the dumb gentile cattle? They take that literally. A Haredi man does nothing but study the Torah and fuck his wife, a Haredi woman does nothing but pump out kids and raise them. They expect the lesser Jews to act as soldiers to wrangle their slaves (gentiles).
>remember that time you sinned? that was already determined by god at the beginning of time so he could torture you in hell for all eternity for no reason, have fun down there lmao
>>16596433It's not uncommon for Calvinists to believe that the children of the elect go to heaven even if they turn atheist, lol. The entire thing is transparently self-serving.
>>16596117If God is omnipotent then of course he knows what's going to happen. People really deny that?
>>16596117Well, when you think about it. God already made people knowing they will go to hell for eternity. And there are all sorts of copes around it like they will actually be destroyed or that hell is not eternal and everyone will go to heaven eventually. And then a bunch of people start calling each other heretics. No one really knows. That's why religion is useless to me.
>>16596129>You don't seem like someone who really knows much about CalvinismI have extensive knowledge of Calvinism and this genuinely is what it boils down toCalvin was an evil man (had another Christian BURNED ALIVE for disagreeing with him) and in turn crafted an evil god in his own image

What are some good books for learning everything possible about ancient Nubia and Ethiopia? I read A Journey to Abyssinia by Jeronimo Lobo and it was interesting now I need to know more. I truly hope people on this board actually read and aren't just wiki skimmers
>>16597214There was a British explorer whose books I read. James Bruce I think, but I’m not entirely sure. He chronicled the history of Ethiopia up until the reign of, like, Theodore II, give or take. It’s been a long time since I’ve read it.
