If god exists. Why should we care? We do not have an obligation to love him, do we? Out of pure authority? Is one obligated to love someone if they love you in return? Nonsense. Is there such thing as a nihilistic deist? If god gives you purpose, what is to stop you from rejecting that purpose?
Depends on which god you're talking about.
>>1377833
The traditional monotheistic judeo-christian god
>>1377837
Well in that case because if you don't he'll literally burn you for all eternity.
Was he right?
>>1377678
No.
Nigger, he litterally believed in magic.
>>1377678
Yes. About everything.
How did pic related become successful?
He seems like the opposite to everything that roac-- err I mean Turks stand for.
He was successful because he drove off the imperialists of France, Greece, and Britain and he rallied the people under Turkish nationalism.

Has it dawned on you, /his/, just how radical the Gospel is, and how revolutionary Christianity is? Christianity is so familiar that I think we miss how strange and alien its vision of the world is. If you compare what Jesus says to the way the world is oriented even now, even in a supposedly 'Christian' world, the two world-views are radically different. Do we really understand Christianity at all, /his/? Is anyone any more a true follower of Christ?
>>1377363
Isn't the basis of Christianity that mankind is inherently wicked and hopeless without God?
Where's the disconnect?
>>1377363
Your observation is correct.
if you dive a little deeper into just the smaller actions of early Christians, the church practices were mostly seen as fucking insane by the people.
during the earliest days, the Church required circumcision as mandatory for becoming Christian as they still kept with the Abrahamic Covenant.
Apparently telling 30+ year old men to slice off their foreskin with no anesthetic is not a fantastic way to get many takers for your new religion, and the circumcision requirement was only done away with after decades of debate.
What do you think of vaporwave? I think its related because its posmodern, retro and sociologically and philosphically analizable
>Vaporwave has been described as "a degrading of commercial music" in an attempt to reveal the "false promises" of capitalism. Music writer Adam Harper of Dummy Mag describes Vaporwave as "ironic and satirical or truly accelerationist"; noting that the name "Vaporwave" itself is both a nod to vaporware, and the idea of libidinal energy being subjected to relentless sublimation under...

So, I've heard here that there are English Bible translations that are a bit more enjoyable to read than the King James Version, and I've been meaning to get around to reading the Bible. Would /his/ have any recommendations on this front?
>>1377184
The KJV is the most enjoyable imo but it lacks material from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The RSV is good.
>>1377211
Call me a pleb, but I found the KJV pretty impenetrable. The language was clear, but a massive chore to read.
>>1377216
You are a pleb. Also I don't understand; was the language impenetrable or clear?
The search for God is useless, we can know anything beyond materialistic phenomena. Our Laws and Logic only uphold in our reality. Anything beyond this reality is Trivial. So why do people still try to prove/disprove him?
The morality of Hell can only be reconciled if God actually left clues people just chose to ignore. If such a being were actually not provable, Hell would be even more cruel than it already is.

>The first signs of a particle heavier than the Higgs boson was seen at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back in December.
Unexplained by current models, its existence might lead to the discovery of a whole new set of particles and possibly even a fifth fundamental force.
The Standard Model claims everything in the universe is made from the most basic building blocks called fundamental particles, that are governed by four forces: gravity, electromagnetic, weak nuclear and strong...

Why doesn't anyone talk about Arab colonialism and slavery?
They were the ones who began to truly reach for global colonialism and massive slavery.
>>1376819
Why doesn't anyone bring up Roman, Greek and Persian colonialism? They're far in the past.
>>1376865
Why doesn't anyone bring up Assyrian colonialism?
>>1376883
That's even further.
Why didn't Japan take over Australia in 1941? That would've probably caused the Brits to sue for peace.
>>1376813
They did and they failed

Australia is pretty useless, south east asia had all that sweet oil and resources. Taking Singapore was also very strategically significant.
