How much authenticity is there to how some Crusader knighs used Kaballah magic to restore fallen comrades / restore chopped off limbs. I've heard this in a documentary quite a while ago and trying to find it. No idea of the source or the documentary.
Do I really need to answer that question?
>>1240594
The Zohar wasn't even written until the 13th century, well after all but the tail end of the crusader period.
Literally zero, OP. Seeing that magic doesn't exist, literally zero.
Why is antinatalism the only right way to think? I mean, theres literally no argument that can stand against the idea. Why the fuck would you give birth to somone? How can you be so cruel?
>It's an intellectual child whining about morality & fairness episode
>>1240682
This isnt about being fair desu. Would you, if you had the choice, choose to be born? If you do, you must be brain dead tbqh.
Its simply that i wish i was never born, i wish to not continue the curse of life

Were African empires really on par with anything else in the world at the time? Like the most "we wuz" of all, Mansa Musa's empire.
Or would it be like glorifying the Celts as an advanced culture when you had Mesopotamia and the mediterranean with far more sophisticated cultures?
If we're talking about the Sahel empires
They were about contemporary Mesoamerica/Russia/Japan tier
Nothing too much to brag about, but certainly not "barbaric"
>>1240062
If you want primary sources try to find an Anglo-French translation of the Tarikh As-Sudan, the Travels of Ibn Battuta, or Leo Africanus
It's another meme thread, boys. Pic is OC, pls no bully.

Another OC but not from OP, please no bully
what's /his/ opinion on the Baha'i religion?
all i know is that all baha'is i've ever met were
1. really well-off
2. really polite
so i guess maybe they're the mormons of iran
>>1239725
The second most common religion (next to Christians) in the US state of South Carolina.
Artificial religion like Sikhism and Mormonism.
How different would the world be today if firearms were never invented?
Pic not entirely unrelated
>>1238140
What else would we not have invented?
Define firearms.
Are you talking about the discovery of gunpowder? Actual firearms that you handheld and fire with triggers? Plenty of applications arise from gunpowders. The chinese were using rudimentary rocket-based artilleries long before "gun" came into existence. They were using metal sharpenel based grenades in their wars.
Extremely different. Combustion powers all our transport, without learning about it from gunpowder we wouldn't have it.
How do we end the romeboo menace?
>>1238105
Remind them that they got BTFO by Germanic shits
>>1238105
I feel you desu. Call me a faggot for this but I like discussing a wide range of topics. So anything that gets discussed too often is absolutely obnoxious to me.
>>1238105
By reestablishing the Roman Empire. If they realize it's shit, then they'll shut up for good.
Found it on the bottom of the sea in Turkey last year..

I don't believe even Christopher Hitchens is stupid enough to say that.
>>1246790
All religions are man made and too often, political, exploitative and corrupt.
What is the future of religion?
>>1246727
Islam takes over.
>>1246727
Its gonna evolve into a different creature of what it is today like it always does.

Why are Western converts to Eastern Traditions such arrogant, holier-than-thou assholes?
>>1246221
Statistics. Given its prevalence in European cultures, most of those converts were Christians before they converted to whichever eastern tradition we're talking about.
And Christians tend towards arrogant, holier-than-thou assholery, before and after they switch to something else. It comes with the religion.
>>1246226
Is there a source to back that up? Most of them I've met were former atheists or agnostics very critical of Christianity.
Christians are a very arrogant, dogmatic, and holier than thou bunch of people
This attitude pervades all western culture regardless of gnosticism
That's what western converts from Xtianity take with them to other faiths

Reminder that Soviet Union hate is a propaganda meme curated by the US and various pro-capitalist forces.
>b-but they executed all of the intelligentsia!
Pol Pot had it worse. If Lenin had executed all or a majority of the intelligentsia as you say, then Russia today would be a cesspool full of drunk and uneducated bydlos that still glorify their victory in WW2 while seeing no difference between nazism and fascism.
>b-but they slaughtered a bunch of people! they made the people submit by dumbing them down...

Good thread OP. All power to the Soviets.
Get rekt incoming asspained /pol/tards.
But
>Russia is the most democratic of countries in Europe and even in the whole World right now.
Post Yeltsin Russia is an oligarchic shithole that's stone-age compared to the USSR.
Byzaboos and Turks can leave, thanks
What do you guys think of Renaissance Venice by Hale? I can't find a PDF or epub of it anywhere on the internet, so I'm thinking of buying one of the original 1973 copies on Amazon
Reminder that the Fourth Crusade was not only provoked directly by the Byzantine's own actions, but was the most righteous crusade out of the lot of them

If I was a Venetian soldier during the bombing, I would've laughed so hard at the huge Greek butthurt that would result from the event unfolding before my very eyes
>be Catholic
>ignore the first commandment
In all seriousness, how can they consider themselves Christians?
Because they don't think that statue is God like you do
>>1239305
They think the statue is Mary, and they are worshipping her.
>>1239304
On top of that: Catholic believe one needs Mary for salvation as a mediator.
