How to prove that 95% of all Christians are heretics: ask them to explain the trinity.
What is there to explain?
Three persons, one essence. Like three persons, one soul. It's that simple.
>>407517
People thinking that 'their' understanding is adequate.
No one knows the trinity without being heretical.
As crazy as it sounds doctrine is most likely heresy.
Just a bunch of people who think they know and cant comprehend the complex idea that is the nature of the trinity and instead rely on arbitrary man made definitions to understand something which they know they cant.
All in all.
95% are just blowing smoke.
Its the uneducated who un-ironically understand God far better.
Can we get a catalog of depictions of the ancient leaders, teachers and others, done by their contemporaries?
To start off ... Alexander the Great, done in the 4th C BC by Lysippus
Seuthes III, a Thracian king
Bust of Julius Caesar, only one we still have that's was made while he was alive.
In my honest opinion, this guy was pretty straight up despite all of the Nazi shit. I spent 20 minutes reading a detailed bio on him and he's probably one of the most philosophical and intelligent people I've ever read about. He's not like that little fucking rat Heinrich Himmler or that shit lipped fuckhead Adolf Hitler, Göring adopted anti-semetism to keep his place and stay on the Reichs good side.

The nazi's got it right when they discovered that jew were promoting the end of western society
But they murdered millions of innocent jews that had nothing to do with it instead of imprisoning a select powerful few.
Hitler > Goring > Goebbels > Heydrich >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Himmler
So, he wasn't even doing this for an ideology, just his own personal gain. Is that not worse?
>tfw you realise world war one actually happened

Can someone explain ''Independent agencies of the United States government'' to me?
>More specifically, the term may be used to describe agencies that, while constitutionally part of the executive branch, are independent of presidential control, usually because the president's power to dismiss the agency head or a member is limited.
How does this work? The relationship between the CIA and the US government? I find this really interesting.
The CIA is really powerful is all. It went from being the President's hand abroad to being the hand around America's own throat. It's an organization tasked with doing the most illegal and/or evil shit the US is capable of. It has a lot of power.

Tell me more

What's more interesting is the American taxpayer has zero input or control over the CIA despite paying for everything that isn't funded by counterfeit currency
The CIA is basically an oozing black tumor that has convinced us that it's responsible for keeping us healthy

Why is the European colonization of Africa portrayed as something destructive and bad?
Some ignorant people think that Europeans underdeveloped, in fact the colonization of Africa is the brightest era in African history

Belgian colonization of the Congo led to up to 10 million deaths. The tribes and small indigenous kingdoms never could have cause that amount of bloodshed.

Anyone here studying history in college? How do you approach studying for an exam. Do you learn off whole essays or just key points?
Structure is most important to essays, and the most basic aspect of any argument, be it an internet debate or college essay, is a structure system called SEC.
Statement - Your point, summed up
Evidence - The evidence backing up your point
Conclusion - Repeating your statement in light of the evidence
For example
>Statement
The Vikings were a Norse medieval people who raided much of Europe
>Evidence
We know this because of many historical recordings of such events, such as X and X,...
