What exactly is the holy spirit supposed to be, and what is its role beyond being a third of God? I've got a decent understanding behind the father and the son, but the details on the ghost still escape me.

The Holy Spirit is represented by a dove, which in turn is a symbol of Asherah, the Hebrew goddess-wife of Yahweh
The Hebrew name for the Holy Spirit is "Ruach ha-Qadesh", "Qadesh" is an epithet for the mother-goddess Queen of Heaven Asherah and she was worshiped as "Qetesh" by the Egyptians
The Trinity originally represented the family unit, Father, Mother, and Child
Goddess worship was repressed however as Asherah's cult was seen as too powerful by the priests of Yahweh, who wanted to emphasize his power by making him...

Wah, so now Yahweh is fucking himself?

Maximum Ubermensch. Prove me wrong.
Jesus didn't "create" any new value, he is the Value himself who made flesh.
prove what wrong?
we all know jesus, fact or fiction, changed the world's morals/ideas, that still last today and caused the bloody crusades.

Crusades were geopolitics desu
Why are people so afraid of nihilism?
The world has no objective meaning or purpose. I think that's a fact
But it doesnt mean we should just end it or that we can't have our own meaning and purpose however subjective they are
I think it is a very empowering way of thinking not something that leads to depression or suicide
Are people so weak that they dont have the will to live without a higher purpose?
well, its tricky. Its not that nihilism is bad, its sorta the opposite. someone will get depressed, believe the world has no meaning, accept nihilism and then kill themselves.
or do whatever the fuck they like.
either way, it ends with the word becoming unliked, especially upon the religious who entire live's revolve around their being a point.
>>824131
>Why are people so afraid of nihilism?
Because of the general perception that a nihilist will not be inhibited by the kind of moral/spiritual concerns that keep most people from doing awful shit.

Why aren't we having posh-as-fuck gladiator fights in a colosseum like the romans did?
I don't think we quite cut how decadent we are in this day and age with TV shows and porn when we could be having some gladiators go at eachother.
I feel despair everytime I think about not having seen some mock gladiator sea battles.
why donĀ“t you watch some gay pron
I can draw some furry porn for you if you want.
We do.
Rugby or hand-egg are about as close to the push of early and pre-gunpowder warfare as we can have.
I do predict that in the next ten to fifteen years, drone-wars will begin to be a popular sport. Some moron like Trump or McMahon will buy a few hundred km^2 of land in the Mojave desert or somewhere in Utah, and then inform nerds of the world that if they submit armies of drones, conforming to certain rules (each drone has to weigh in at under 50 kg, total army has to be under ten tons, no chemical explosives or propellants, things like that), they...

This. If we're discounting Rome, then Europe had already surpassed the world by the Frankish empire.

Why were medieval Islamic states so unstable?
The Caliphates were at least using provincial systems which from modern perspective should be more advanced than feudal system in Europe since provincial titles weren't theoretically supposed to be inheritable. Yet the Arabs made it de-facto inheritable with far more political struggles than other regions.
Like in Al-Andalus there were literally 50 years of balkanization every 100 years, and even within the 100 years's 75% of the time the taifa governors didn't give much shit towards the central Cordoba caliph.
Not to mention the modern states' structures and the modern-ish Chinese bureaucracy, even the contemporary European feudal states seemingly had less frequent power struggle and succession crisis. literally wtf had they done?
Should've posted this tho

1) MUH FEUDAL RIGHTS being a very legal justification for not obeying the king's shit.
2) Strong Local Governments like Cities. Which even in European Kingdoms governed theirfuckingselves.
3) An arbiter for interstate struggles in the form of the pope.
4) And you're wrong. You've drank into the Nation-State narrative that appropriated medieval kingdoms of Europe as continuations of current nation states in the region.
Take for example the Kingdom of England and France during the Angevin...

Memes aside where I can read more about their raid and battle tactics? Also were French, Irish and Saxon commoners allowed to own weapons or did they only have pitchforks to defend themselves with?
>>823595
Well Carolingians banned commoners from forming Guilds to opose raiders, so its very likely that they were armed.
>>823643
why would they ban it? Were they afraid that the guilds would also oppose them?
I find Byzantine battle tactics fascinating.
So what was up with south america in WW2? I know Mexico and Brazil were the only ones who actually sent soldiers to fight
>Mexican merchant vessel got blown up by the U-Boats and sent their airforce to help out the US in some missions in the Pacific
>Brazil sent soldier in the invasion of Italy
But all the other countries were officially part of the allies, but I thought Argentina and Chile and even Brazil were fascist at the time
Most were just american puppets.
Countries like Chile boomed in the war for the mutch needed metals which their land is rich with.
Here in Brazil it was a Populist Dictatorship with light fascist tendencies. The nearest thing that we had to fascism, Integralism, was used indirectly by Vargas to get into power and once he got it he outlawed the group.

Did you mean Latin America? The meme would be complete if you're an American.
Uruguay stayed neutral for the beginning of the conflict, witnessing the Battle of the River Plate right next to it's capital. Many Anglo-Uruguayan soldiers served in WW2, and soldiers of both sides of the conflict that either came to Uruguay after the war or were already living here before can be found resting at the British Cementery...

Protip: you can't.
The fact you've posted a picture of a fascist to symbolise nationalism shows you really don't know what it's about.
Nationalism started as a liberal ideology, read a book.
Nothing at all wronh with wanting to preserve your nations culture. The racial aspect of nationalism is stupid though, even Mussolini thought so.

Since when did entertainment industries the world over(?) started paying their actors/actresses shitloads?
Looking at history, they seem to be either looked down on (Romans), lived as poor roving entertainers, or lived normal lives despite fame.
But nowadays in countries like the USA, they get paid shitloads of money.

>Since when did entertainment industries the world over(?) started paying their actors/actresses shitloads?
Since movies started being billion dollar affairs.

Oh boy-
no m8 you're the pleb, Freud was wrong and had little to no scientific basis not to mention he fabricated a lot of his "findings" while hedonism is a philosophy for pigs.
>>822279
Doesn't matter all of them are spooks anyways.
>>822287
Agree about Freud. He was just a pervert that took his "theories" out of his ass.
Hedonism is indeed a philosophy for pigs.
