I mean it is pretty rational for war god to hate his people for constantly losing, but then why even worship him?
I guess to prove to him that they're still worth something in some other way? As self-punishment for disappointing their deity?
We just had 06.01 holiday of Epiphany, in Poland called βΕwiΔto Trzech KrΓ³liβ (βThree Kingsβ Dayβ) and itβsβ¦ a state holiday, free from work, if you ever had doubts how much modern Poland is secular state.
What places were they kings of then? Also interesting that Kings would just show up on their own just to deliver gifts to a girl they know nothing about... unless, like I said, they were her simps. (But even then wouldn't they just send their men instead? Just to keep their reputation from sullying)
Also, can't complain about a free holiday. But that gets me thinking, did Jesus ever teach/preach about Ethnonationalism? It's honestly mesmerizing that for a Christian Nation, its people would rather be dicks towards people that aren't exactly 100% them.
Notably the most popular local god of harvest, and natural cycle Baal (all the vilification of Baal in bible was certainly scrap of that propaganda left).
Unbelievable. Imagine demonizing a deity of something as harmless and peaceful as harvest and natural cycle.
Judaism was formed after ancient state of Israel fell so thatβs how the victorious god of war gets to hate his people, they just lost lmao
There's nothing more pathetic than a so-called deity hating their own worshippers. Couldn't he help his worshippers out? Being a god of war and all.
Also, if Mary indeed was the daughter of a local noble, wouldn't her parents be able to just use their connections/power/money to just get her out of trouble? But then again I suppose not, as this was from the times where women were barely considered human for whatever reason.
XD local pedo convention, how did this turned to 3 kings.
Well, at the very least we can't deny that Jesus is of Middle Eastern origin. He could've been Jewish, I can't say; as Bethelhem (where he was born) is part of Palestine; and I honestly don't know if Historical Palestine had Jews in it.
It was the Nazi's very own flavour of Christianity, now with 100% less reference to Jews~!
Under Hitler's regime, in the Reich Protestant churches the New Testament was also altered; by removing the genealogies of Jesus that showed his Davidic descent, Jewish names and places were removed, quotations from the Old Testament were removed unless they showed Jews in a bad light, references to fulfilled Old Testament prophecies were removed, and Jesus was reworked into a militaristic, heroic figure fighting the Jews using Nazified language.
I was in a chapter with about 8 people 5 years or so ago and I was the only self-identified Marxist. Social democrats, anarchists, left-liberals.
Social democrats, anarchists, left-liberals.
The shit?! What are they doing in a SOCIALIST GUN CLUB?! Why even call it a Socialist Rifle Association at that point?! I thought there already was a Liberal Gun Club, why don't they go there instead?
Sorry, I've never been to a SRA before (doesn't exist here), so I'm shocked to see SRA members not being S.
At least Putin's so-called "World Order" won't result in exploitation and brutal colonization of the Global South.
