Note that in this thread, strong evidence was provided for God: >>637821
While it might not convince you, you should at least consider God a reasonable possibility, and that in itself will help my case here.

Before we began actually arguing the case, we first of all have to clear up if Christian theology is even compatible with the Old Testament, so I'll start there. I can't go into all the minute details, but I will with the two main things,...

2. The Law, why is it no longer in affect? Well (and even Orthodox Judaism agrees here) Jewish Law is NOT for the whole world to follow, it is a specific covenant with the Jewish people, it is like Nazarite or monastic vows. The Jews are a priestly people meant to lead the gentiles to salvation (Isaiah 49:6). All that, Orthodox Judaism concurs with, the only difference is they think that will come with the end times, but gentiles are never seen as required to follow Jewish Law, just the Noahide Law (Orthodox Christian...

Now, let see which Christian narrative we talking about: the primary ones are the pagan Christian narrative (Gnostic), the Pharisaic Christian narrative (Gospel of the Hebrews), and the Essenic Christian narrative (Orthodox). So of course we'll be discussing the last narrative. First thing first, the Essenic Jews considered telling the truth to be a matter of extreme importance, morally, they saw it as better to die than to lie (contrast this with someone like Odysseus). In evidence of this, let's look as Josephus...

They could've tried being heroic when they still had the resources to win.

Would it be right to kill someone so you can donate their organs and save 5 lives?
Flag the trolley down.
Electric traction allows for quick acceleration/deceleration.
If you've ever watched old footage taken from a streetcar, you'll notice that people and cars get right out in front of them constantly, because they can more-or-less stop on a dime.
Is it true that rape was used as a weapon against conquered Muslim women by the crusaders?
>>669073
>used as a weapon
What does that even mean?
>>669073
Given that it was a war, and that's what conquering armies tend to do then yes it's most likely true.
>>669073
Probably not since Knights followed the Chivalric code.

I just realised I'm 1/24 Danish and want to learn more about my warrior heritage. Why were vikings such great fighters? Was it because of the harsh, mountainous enviroment?

Varangian Guard is overrated and so is Byzantine Empire that was sacked multiple times. Byzantines were failures.

Their empire existed thousand years after Rome was kill.

Is Varg right? I'm somewhat ignorant on the theory but I assumed this was universally accepted. Also, what does /his/ think about Varg (and his wife's) views on Europeans.
>Is Varg right?
I don't think so.

Things in science never really are. I think that it has the most evidence pointed towards it, but I don't think I'd put much weight in it.

I think Varg is pretty based. I am not too sure about the 'out of Africa' theory considering they have recently found a human ancestor which predated the oldest found 'human' in Africa.
>>668678
are you actually for real?
Varg is completly retarded and his theories are based /pol/ tier science.
He makes good music and is really interesting tho.
Was the Islamic golden age really that impressive?

I'm glad someone revived this thread. Although I was surprised my last one survived as long as it did. Does anyone do any reenacting in the greater New York area or within 3-4 hours of that area?

How would the roman legion fare against an 11th century crusading army?
Crusaders lost to arab goatfuckers
they'd lose to the romans too
>>667768
What kind of Roman legion? A principate army wouldn't have a real counter to crusader heavy cavalry combined with heavy infantry.
>>667768
A roman legion would be fucked, because smaller numbers and no combined arms.
A roman army would probably fuck them, given same quality of leadership.
What is the best religion for a woman to follow?
Which is the one that most celebrates feminine spirituality and is sexuality-affirming.

No.

Don't take the book of Genesis as anything more than a collection of allegories.
>>667393
The original sin comes from the inevitable limits of our existance. We can only live through killing other organisms, our life is technically one big killing frenzy. Just think, how many lives did it take just so you are able to shitpost of 4chan? Billions? Trillions?
We are not spotless beings, that's what the original sin means.
Why is the African slave trade, the Holocaust, and other genocides such as the Native Americans always discussed with multiple films and books produced about it, but I never was taught about the Barbary Slave trade until I came across an article about it on my own?
In 1785 when Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, they asked him what right he had to take slaves in this way. He replied that the "right" was "founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their...

Because that would be racist
>>666767
Because it wasn't as disgusting as the other ones. Barbary slavery wasn't inherited or race based.
>Responding to bait
>tripfag
OP confirmed for faggot.
But yeah, Barbary Slave Trade. Why do you think we started going to Africa in the first place? African slave trade only started because the portuguese needed slaves for their colonies, and had military bases in Africa which were established because of the berbers in the first place.
