Anonymous
Another interesting fact about Byzantine arms and armor is that the Byzantines themselves rarely depicted the contemporary armor that they used in murals or books, instead they always drew the same old "heroic" costumes from centuries in the past with capes and shit(marvel-brained) so modern historians have to rely on Serbian Georgian and Bulgarian murals instead to find out what the Byzantines dressed like

>>17367475 Not even a Byzantine thing but rather an Orthodox iconographic tradition, so looking ate art from other places isnt really any better or helpful
The actual issue, is that there is absolute nothing, zilch, nada, zero remaining body armor from the Byzantine empire beyond the odd bits of lamellar armor that we can use to cross reference and validate how representative those artworks really are. By comparison, with western european armor not only do we have a decent amount of extant pieces, but we have so fucking much artwork that we can use to cross reference, that we can define, date and pinpoint stylistical changes in armor with a precision of one or two decades

Mahabharata- written 2500 years ago by the original White aryan chads under the name "Vyasa". "The Mahābhārata is the longest epic poem known and has been described as "the longest poem ever written, at about 1.8 million words in total, the Mahābhārata is roughly ten times the length of the Iliad and the Odyssey combined". Was this epic peak of ancient aryan civlization in the subcontinent ?

Doesn't the existence of pedophiles alone disprove the existence of a benevolent, loving God? No normal person would ever consciously choose to be a pedophile if they weren't one, would you? For the record I do believe the universe was created by a god. But thinking he/it loves us is wishful thinking at best
Anonymous
>>17365940 This. It is possible for God to create a world with no pedophiles (Less evil/better world), but instead, he chooses to create a world with pedophiles that rape children and get shot (More evil/worse world). This means that God is either non-benevolant and undeserving of worship, or non-existent and not a real being to worship.

I dont find it striking. Also the use of alliteration in the original german makes it come across as extremely trite because it is a literary device that screams of tabloids, especially when used in this context (playing something up for attention).

>God doesn't change Okay but the earth clearly does. So with god not changing, but we do... God ends up looking different. Like if you have a static object, and then an object moving around, that object moving around is seeing all kinds of perspectives of the unmoving object. Even though it doesn't change, it looks different. Nobody sent by heaven (nor hell for that matter) has ever claimed that the unchanging nature of God is relative. Just thought you should think on that.

>>17366928 The fact that religion can be rewritten and altered by people to reflect modern views, and that God doesn't show up and say don't do that, is proof to me that it was never the real authentic word of God in the first place

>>17366935 Why would it be? The most unimaginable peaks of human action are kludgy and inelegant. You can tell them at a glance.
God's everpresence is in the beautiful revelation that is always available to us and completely ineffable. God needs not man nor any other kind of middle-man, and it's the ignorance and narcissism of man himself to imagine otherwise. Because they've never seen the faintest shimmer of grace, they've just twisted stories. They don't know how grand God really is.

Then what was it about, chuddy? Well, let me explain. First of all, the Confederate States would have been willing to compromise on the slavery issue. Their primary concern was the loss of labor, which would have been avoided by long-term labor contracts, which were the norm at that time, popular in both Europe for the freed serfs and in the North for the freed slaves. Additionally, there were many large labor-export companies both domestically and internationally that would have provided the South with cheap labor. As you can guess, these labor companies were essentially slave traders, except under names applicable to the social atmosphere at the time. Secondly, there was a huge disagreement with tarrifs (1828 tariff) between the South and North. Northern capitalists were benefitting greatly from this tariff as they had an industry-based economy and large population, whilst the South was brutalized by this tarrif due to their agricultural economy. Thirdly, you're all a bunch of fucking retards. Do you think the bloodthirsty capialists who sent women and children to die en masse in mines and factories gave a single fuck about the lives of a bunch of african niggers. No, they wanted to use these politically charged slogans to take over the South and benefit their industry with cheap raw goods. In addition, they became the heroes of their time, their banners of abolition flying over the corpses of hundreds of thousands of the impoverished lower-class. Fourthly, the capitalists wanted to further divide the lower-class. With the influx of cheap black labor, the whites and blacks began to fight each other whilst the capitalists quadrupled their own profits. You are all fucking retarded, and slavery was at most fifth on the list of reasons why the civil war started. Read a single fucking book on tariffs and the difference between an industry-based economy and agricultural-based economy, you fucking retarded idiots brainwashed by capitalist propaganda.

Marlyland (a Union State) still owned slaves after the war.
Democrats keep trying to astroturf this idea that the civil war was purely a moral issue, even though the north frankly didn't give a shit.

>>17366701 First let me say I agree it really was not about slavery nor africans. "african slavery" became a cult with zealots willing to kill for attention. That kept a rational compromise from happening as the US managed its way through the necessity of productivity gains in agriculture and manufacturing. The 2nd industrial revolution was happening. A paid worker, indentured serf or owned outright slave was and could be replaced by a machine.
Slaves cost money and maintenance and could run off but were assets same as a tractor. Had the US been serious, southern slave holders could have been compensated, the slaves let loose and a very costly war avoided.

>>17367385 It’s kind of funny to think how lobertarians think that customers would be able to perfectly rate food safety directly from the prosucts they buy. Sure, you can tell whether the food is spoiled or not, and you can tell if you get sick by eating it. What you don’t know is what kinds of pesticides or pollutants they have, and because they cause long-term harm that is hard to trace to one source, good luck being the enlighrened customer there.
Same goes for additives, even if everyone listed them honestly on their packaging, LMAO at the idea that customers could ever be able to understand all the possible additives and their safe limits.

>>17366273 >>17366378 See this feels like some kind of IQ gap or something. Can you not envision the concept of going knowing infinitely possible timelines? And omniscient God knows every possible path you can take, before it's taken, when you choose it that isn't his choice, but it is within his foresight.. I don't see the logic behind "clairvoyance = Control".
If I was a psychic and knew exactly part for part your entire future does that mean I controlled every choice you made? No of course not, you made your own decisions of your own free will, I just knew which ones you would make.
The omniscient=/ free will argument is really baseless and makes no sense
