How can Christians be so ignorant as to actually believe that their Christian religion is in any way a fulfillment of Judaism?
The New Testament's theology is completely different from the Old Testament's. By reading the NT, one sees the introduction of certain themes that simply aren't found in Judaism, but that are very obviously influenced from Greek mystery rites.
The entire concept of a suffering deity, of a deity whose suffering and death 'redeems' the world; the idea of followers mystically sharing in this deity's suffering, the strong emphasis on forgiveness of sins and salvation through belief, and of reaching a pleasant/'good' afterlife by performing proper rites and/or subscribing to a certain deity - these are all undeniably elements borrowed from Greek mystery religions and neo-Platonism! The Orphic rites, the Eleusinian rites, the Attic rites, the cults of Serapis and Dyonisus and Isis. These thematic elements are completely alien to Jewish theology, hence why the Jews themselves rejected (and still do) Christianity; there is no 'continuity' between the New or Old, save whatever convoluted excuses Christians use to attempt to reconcile the two.
Does Yahweh the war god ever give the impression of being a 'suffering deity'? Isn't it odd that the New Testament places undue emphasis on an afterlife, yet the Old Testament made no mention of it, such that the concept of an afterlife did not even develop until well into the Second Temple period? Isn't it strange that Jesus bore none of the attributes or signs that Yahweh himself promised the Jews the Messiah would have?
In essence, to put it in simplest terms - the New Testament is a Greek fanfiction to the Old Testament: it is not 'canon', and attempts to reconcile the two are just too problematic and self-defeating. Knowing this, why do /pol/tards insist on propagating the Christcuck delusion when - like every other religion - it is simply a man-made invention lacking any supernatural/divine agency.
Christianity is just Judaism + European "paganism". They can tip there silly hats all day long, I'm not sure why they wear them. But at the end of the day Christianity is unoriginal cancer

If you don't think the OT has any agency either then it really doesn't matter now does it?
>>79175535
>Judaism
>European "paganism"
Except you're wrong. Christianity is actually a mix of Greek religion (of the mystery cult type) and neo-Platonic thought, with only the most superficial aspects of Judaism thrown in. It is hardly Judaic in character, and for claiming to be the continuation of Judaism, displays an overall abysmal knowledge of Jewish theology.
How does /pol/ feel about gentrification?
Horrible. Jewish land lords ship niggers out of the ghetto and straight into the suburbs. Then little mini ghettos spring up in the burbs
Once the niggers destroy the property values the kikes move in again and repeat the process

it's kinda bad in the sense the fleeing blacks have no where to go so they head near middle class white neighborhoods ruining the place.
Developers should dedicate some of their projects to low income housing so the problem is contained elsewhere.
Everybody wins except liberals but no one cares about their opinions.

Bernie Sanders: Democrats Need to Wake Up
Surprise, surprise. Workers in Britain, many of whom have seen a decline in their standard of living while the very rich in their country have become much richer, have turned their backs on the European Union and a globalized economy that is failing them and their children.
And it’s not just the British who are suffering. That increasingly globalized economy, established and maintained by the world’s economic elite, is failing people everywhere. Incredibly, the wealthiest 62 people on this planet own as much wealth as the bottom half of the world’s population — around 3.6 billion people. The top 1 percent now owns more wealth than the whole of the bottom 99 percent. The very, very rich enjoy unimaginable luxury while billions of people endure abject poverty, unemployment, and inadequate health care, education, housing and drinking water.
Could this rejection of the current form of the global economy happen in the United States? You bet it could.

During my campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, I’ve visited 46 states. What I saw and heard on too many occasions were painful realities that the political and media establishment fail even to recognize.
In the last 15 years, nearly 60,000 factories in this country have closed, and more than 4.8 million well-paid manufacturing jobs have disappeared. Much of this is related to disastrous trade agreements that encourage corporations to move to low-wage countries.
Despite major increases in productivity, the median male worker in America today is making $726 dollars less than he did in 1973, while the median female worker is making $1,154 less than she did in 2007, after adjusting for inflation.
Nearly 47 million Americans live in poverty. An estimated 28 million have no health insurance, while many others are underinsured. Millions of people are struggling with outrageous levels of student debt. For perhaps the first time in modern history, our younger generation will probably have a lower standard of living than their parents. Frighteningly, millions of poorly educated Americans will have a shorter life span than the previous generation as they succumb to despair, drugs and alcohol.
Meanwhile, in our country the top one-tenth of 1 percent now owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. Fifty-eight percent of all new income is going to the top 1 percent. Wall Street and billionaires, through their “super PACs,” are able to buy elections.

On my campaign, I’ve talked to workers unable to make it on $8 or $9 an hour; retirees struggling to purchase the medicine they need on $9,000 a year of Social Security; young people unable to afford college. I also visited the American citizens of Puerto Rico, where some 58 percent of the children live in poverty and only a little more than 40 percent of the adult population has a job or is seeking one.
Let’s be clear. The global economy is not working for the majority of people in our country and the world. This is an economic model developed by the economic elite to benefit the economic elite. We need real change.
But we do not need change based on the demagogy, bigotry and anti-immigrant sentiment that punctuated so much of the Leave campaign’s rhetoric — and is central to Donald J. Trump’s message.
We need a president who will vigorously support international cooperation that brings the people of the world closer together, reduces hypernationalism and decreases the possibility of war. We also need a president who respects the democratic rights of the people, and who will fight for an economy that protects the interests of working people, not just Wall Street, the drug companies and other powerful special interests.

It's pretty obvious that we're going to see mass civil unrest, if not outright war, in our lifetimes.
there is no way that's real
If you vote for a sexist bigot over a female presidential candidate and a female vice presidential candidate, then you are a sexist yourself.
This is simply not debatable and the facts are out. This is literally a revolutionary time to make amends with these two genders after the amount of violence and suppression men have caused globally. Voting for Clinton/Warren is Americas way of apologizing for our past and moving forward to heal what has been caused. Not to mention it's simply Hillarys turn to be president.
So I ask you, political bias put aside, are you a supporter of females or are you a supporter of sexists?
If doubles then Hillary shill OP gets hit by a truck
God that shit with Warren was pathetic and cringeworthy. Looks like Hillary found her Palin.
Why do Americans lap that shit up?

>>79174310
Holy fuck you are delusional. The UK needs the EU more than they need you.
>>79174310
But Britain cannot make trade deals with third countries bilaterally, because international trade falls within the EU common commercial policy, and as such falls exclusively within the EUs area of competence. That is one of the reasons the UK wanted out, right?
You will not be making any trade deals until you actually leave. And once you leave, many parties will likely prefer striking 27 deals in one, rather than one deal with a notoriously stubborn state that just crashed an extremely comprehensive trade deal it had with those exact 27 states. Like Obama already said: Don't think you'll be in thr front of the line after you leave.

>In my view, Brexit is quite literally nothing short of national suicide
>And that Norwegian example demands closer inspection. What it means in practice is that Norway’s government pays a hefty price for its EU relationship and market access, in the form of continuing to pay very substantial sums into the EU, while agreeing to easy immigration policies. The only thing it lacks is any say whatever in EU policy-making
>As they begin to consider the effects of Brexit, the Leave leaders are facing an irreconcilable contradiction. On the one side, you have the more mainstream figures, like Boris Johnson, who will very soon be pleading for a Norway-style association model, with all the negatives I suggested earlier. Against them will be the populists, like Nigel Farage’s UKIP, who will accept nothing implying open immigration, no form of EU-Lite. Rejecting that element, though, also means abandoning any hope of access to the single European market. If implemented, that would mean industrial and financial collapse

Isn't there some truth to what he writes? Wouldn't it be better to reform the EU as David Cameron wanted, instead of leaving it?
>>79174137
What better way to inspire reform than leaving the EU. Fact is, it didn't work, so staying definitely wouldn't have worked.
We get it. You want to work as a plumber in the UK, but shit posting on /pol/ isn't going to make that a reality. Besides, if my cynical attitude isn't misplaced, the UK won't end up actually leaving. They'll elect a new government who will renege on invoking article 50 and the reason Merkel is throwing such a shit show is so that they can reduce the UKs position in the EU.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong, the EU is an Orwellian nightmare, but while I always hope for the best, I tend to expect the worst.
>>79174137
reform the EU - right
I'd rather be free and autonomous

>>79174137
I don't care what happens to the UK. I care about what happens to my country. Reformation of the EU has been taking place since it was first started, and every single reform has made it worse. EU is a threat to democracy in Europe, and the faster we get rid of the corrupt leaders of the EU, the better. Sacrificing the UK is a small price to pay.

When I don't shower for 2 days my penis get's really smelly sometimes.
If there's a fly in my room I just get naked, lay on my bed and peel the foreskin back.
When the fly lands on my glans I trap it between my foreskin and the glans really fast.
It feels really got when the fly is humming inside. After I do that for a while I crush the fly inside with my thump.
When it's intestines drop in my urethra in form of a single yellow drop then it's the best feeling in the world.
I just have to rub 2-3 times more and cum on my belly.
At the very end I smear the fly's remains all over my pulsating dick.

Every night, shortly before going to sleep, I look at this. It's a map of the Hittite Empire at its greatest extension. I look at it and my mind wanders off to perhaps 3000 or 4000 years ago. What a great time to be alive it must have been.
The young western civilisation was at its first steps. The naïve Greeks lived westmost of this area. I imagine them interacting with the Hittites, the native Anatolians, before even the Phrygians or the Celts went there. It must have been fun.
It must have been an interesting culture to interact with and trade cultural elements with. They even had similar Gods as the Greeks did, and many shared myths. I wonder what the two sides of the Trojan war were thinking. Such kindred cultures, clashing with each other as was common during those days.
I wonder what the world would have been today if the Trojans had won. I wonder if it would be a better world. Maybe we'd speak Luwian, but I don't think civilisation in the area of Greece would have turned out much less excellent.
I guess we'll never know for sure. What I can say for sure is that if civilisation had stronger pillars set in Anatolia, like more big cities, more strongholds, more military protections, then maybe, just maybe, humanity's enemy #1 wouldn't have arrived in Europe.
The Ottoman Turks would have never been. They'd be beyond Caspian Sea, where they belong. Moreover, perhaps the Levant area, and even the westmost Middle East wouldn't have been Islamified. Egypt would be great. Phoenicia would still exist. Syrians would still enjoy the glory of the ancestors.
Such nice thoughts these are. I think of them before going to sleep, while looking at this map. I shed a tear of nostalgia and maybe a hint of regret, and then I close my eyes, praying Morpheus will bring me sweet dreams of a civilised Anatolia.

Actually, now that i think about it, Greek girls have become really maschichistic as of late. Sexy. Anyway, I think Islam would have spread anyway, since Islam or Die.
