pretty good
The word "proselytize" comes from a term meaning "to convert to Judaism".
>Forced conversions occurred under the Hasmonean Empire. The Idumaens were forced to convert to Judaism, either by threats of exile, or threats of death, depending on the source.[22][23]
>Maurice Sartre has written of the "policy of forced Judaization adopted by Hyrcanos, Aristobulus I and Jannaeus”, who offered "the conquered peoples a choice between expulsion or conversion,”[25]

When did Judaism become a closed religion that was against proselytizing? I know they were forced to stop proselytizing in a lot of instance, but they still carried on such activities at least into the Middle Ages, since the Khazars converted in large numbers. Now conversion to Judaism is strongly discouraged, but it was pretty common in ancient Judaism, even in the Bible (Exodus 12:38). There are many passages about foreigners among the Jews and it is said to treat them "as one born among you" (Leviticus...

Did you read all of the OP? The last greentext was 524 CE.
Why were flails even a thing? They require abigger swing than regular mace, they look like shit so no swag points and are all around shit weapons.
>>800785
>Why were flails even a thing?
Yes
>They require abigger swing than regular mace
Non-Fantasy shit like yors dont.
>They look like shit so no swag points
Opinions. For one thing they're a classic heavy metal staple.
>>800785
>Why were flails even a thing?
Im guessing its because its just a weaponized version of a peasant tool which means that commoners would already be semi proficent in its use.
>>800785
the flail travels in a straighter line and less energy is wasted
/twg/ fag here, asking this question because the general is too full of memes.
Is it true that before widespread use of gunpowder that horse archer spam hordes >>> everything, or is this just a meme thats only relevant thanks to the mongols?
It's bullshit
There is no iron clad tactic that beats all others.
If there was everyone would be using it.
>>800765
how the fuck does a horse archer defeat a heavily mailed knight? i read about feinting retreats and drawing out/breaking formation, but i still dont get how the mongols just rolled over everything. did no one in russia wear mail? What about Legnica?
>>800820
Mongol arrows can penetrate heavy plate/mail armor at mid/close range, not by a lot, but still enough to eventually kill someone. Since the heavy cavalry can never catch up to them, they just keep shooting until all the gueilos die/flee

but now this shit has a hold on me like a jehovahs witness
Please, people who grew up in religious households, how did you eventually shake this shit off? how to disillusion religion?
Is this bait, or are you serious about wanting to forget God?
Try to remember the Euphoric times when you could revel in degeneracy, weed smoke and hedonism and know in your heart that no God will judge you for Man is his own master of Fate
>>800678
Excuse me OP, but how is this causing you problems? Is it limiting you in any way?
How did you become religious without clearly wanting to become one? Did something happen?
Old Flemish poem originating near the Zwin
(The Zwin is a nature reserve at the North Sea coast, on the Belgian-Dutch border.)
It concerns the last days of paganism, when the message of christianity came to them the first time.
[I'll give the translation in the next post]
Out Vlaams vers van be 't Swin
Als wi nog waren Vlaemen Friesch,
ende erkenden Wrald ende Odin,
quaem daer van Eire ende Alba her,
woendere saege ende nieve leer.
Ut diep heet Zuud, een noorderlicht,
nog wyder dan de Middelzee,
waer wi ons setteden...

Pretty sure that is not old Flemish but more of a middle Dutch or Middle Flemish Poem.
freely translated:
When we were still Frisian Flemings,
and acknowledged Wralda and Odin,
came from Ireland and England here
a wonderous saga and a new teaching.
From the far hot south came a northern light
broader even than the Meditterranean Sea
where we had settled on a shore made of rocks.
A strange message got to us.
From God (Od) came a human reflection,
and God spoke Truth to the north,
a straight and royal road.
A Son, they told us, from God's own kin,
found by sheperds in a shabby crib.
By Thor! At first we didn't...

Curious how they knew England and the continent were once connected.
Is there a way to move the philosophy threads back to /lit/? /pol/ is starting to become annoying
It's not phi that attracts polsters it's all the religious threads.

What do you know about currently existing untouched tribes? What do you think of them? What's in the future for them?
hippies will insist they remain uncontacted because the west is evil and racist, then in the grimdark future when liberal western observers are no longer around the locals will genocide them
>>799839
>What's in the future for them?
Sadly they don't have one. When they finally do make contact, disease will kill nearly al of them.
What's the story behind the pic?
So, you're in a large store like walmart, and you suddenly realize you are going to be teleported to the time of the Roman Monarchy. You can grab a couple things before you go. What do you take and why?
OP here, I'd take as much aluminium foil as possible because at the time that shit was super hard to get.

How can free will exist if God knows everything you do before you do it?
If God doesn't know everything, how is he omniscient?
How does someone knowing what you will do in any way negate free will?
>>799618
>How can free will exist if God knows everything you do before you do it?
Same way free will is compatible with when our own imperfect knowledge.
Pic related: If I successfully predict someone's weak trolling tactics, does that mean that they were not free in their decision to shitpost?

God doesn't exist.
Also free will is a meme.

Why is Asian mythology so fucking weird? I'm inclined to agree with Hegel the more I read about Asian religion: it's all just lost in a sea of abstraction where the indeterminate universal is replaced by determinate quantities that fail to rise to the levels of sublime beauty attained in Western religion. This is probably because Westerners care more about religion than Easterners do, just as a consequence of monotheism.
>The Roman and Greek pantheons weren't gods fucking with mortals and doing petty shit.
>>799519
>sublime beauty attained in Western religion
Which is?
Please tell me. Last I heard the West is worshipping some Eastern God.

That's why Europe is being kucked by Muslims right now?
Why was modern antisemitism created in France?
Because the Jews caused the French Revolution
>>799321
"Anti semitism" has existed as long as the Jews have existed.
>>799321
Because the French got a bug up their ass about creating a society of free, equal frenchmen out of a nation where only a small minority spoke French, and the Jews were a fly in the ointment.
can we predict anything interesting from knowing the starch staple of a culture
