But I’m also opposed towards too simplistic views of history as clash between (monolithic) Christian and Islamic culture.

The clash is not so much between Christian and Islamic culture, as it is between Islam and everyone else. Muslims separate the world into two categories: the Dar al-Islam (House of Islam) and the Dar al-Harb (House of war). The Dar al-Islam must wage jihad on the Dar al-Harb until the Dar al-Harb becomes the Dar al-Islam. This is what Muslim history consists of. They are still trying to conquer the world today, and because of the ignorance of Europeans they are making significant progress in Europe. Don’t lose your country due to ignorance of the true nature of this religion.

Is this significantly different how christians (or anyone) treated conquered areas and citys during that time? Crusaders excelled with rapes and pillaging.

The empirical evidence is overwhelming. Couple examples:

I’m not saying islam was all rainbows and unicorns even then, there were terrible deeds, and slavery was a norm, but it was not less civil than Christian world until modern times.

I will, thank you for the recommendation. I’m currently gathering a book list for this year. I’ll add this in.

Not familiar with this, I’ll check that out. I know that Ottomans had automomous Christian regions and even bunch of Christians fighting in their armies. Christians did not give any freedom to other religions though. It was instant death.

Yep. Many Christians did this too. Captured Finnish/Swedish civilians were sold as a slaves to Ottomans in 1700s by Russian soldiers.

I think these points rely on what I spoke about Islam not getting in to the scientific revolution and enlightenment, everything in the west was relatively anti-scientific too before these developments. I would say that Christianity became what it should be only because of enlightenment.

I think islams golden age was not an anomaly, but western world for the past 300-400ish years has been the anomaly. Hope it will be something more.

I think this is under control. Every European country has tightened or are tightening their immigration policies. I have some muslim friends, but they’re very westernized and secular. I think we’re not giving up our society or culture so easily, and I personally see (biasedly) that modern western society model is best so far, and I’m not changing it to anything else willingly.

Where did all that money come from originally? Rothschild’s for example are trillionaires. How? I’ll come out with an out the gate theory and say their Baal worshippers bro,the devils given them free run of the world

0.2% of the worlds population controls all institutions of power and influence.

That doesn’t strike you as odd?

Not right now.

My father died last year. It was a fairly traumatic experience. My family was on vacation. I came inside to screaming like I’ve never heard before.

I thought my daughters had maybe fallen down the steps and were hurt really bad.

I’ve never felt adrenaline like that before. I raced up the stairs and found my father on the bed unresponsive.

My mother, sister, and sister in law were screaming. I took control and did CPR for half an hour but I wasn’t able to get him back.

The following night, I was outside the house rental, and had the strongest case of deja vu. A feeling that I’ve been in this place before. Maybe I had dreamed this exact scenario happening? I haven’t experienced any deja Vu since I was a kid. Maybe it was just my brain responding to the trauma. Not sure.

Anyways, it sent me on a chase to try and discover why we are here. Sadly, I did not find that answer.

I still think back to that feeling of deja Vu though. Frequently. I feel like maybe this reality isn’t real. If that makes sense.

Anyways, too much information but yeah. I want my daughters to be Christian if possible because I think it builds better character and also makes situations like this easier to deal with.

I hear if you start young, your faith can be stronger.

This won’t be religious.

What do you want your life to look like?
What do you want your daughters’ lives to look like?

Go do what it takes to make that happen.

That’s why we’re here.

Yeah. My post wasn’t intended to be a sob story. Just why I started reading into religion.

My life is, fortunately, exactly where I want it to be right now.

Just enjoying the high for now and trying to raise some good daughters.

In all the Bible that might be the simplest question to answer. God created man to have fellowship with him.

Did you come to any conclusions at all in your search for why we are here?

True. The question is whether or not one is willing to accept the answer, and if not, then why.

If you’re religious, you’d believe that Jewish people are blessed. Otherwise, I would say Jewish studies is what results in success.

No, especially as something wrongfully hasn’t been done ever.

This is the hottest take i think ive ever heard.

What is it exactly that you think they’ve done over hundreds of years to cheat the system?

Baal worship which stems from the old testament. Prosperity rituals. Black magic. Selling your soul for material gain. These particular Jews are Satanic agents or illuminatis. Incredibly wealthy

So you think Baal is real and that worshipping him is effective?

Did not check the thread for a day and this has gone to new levels apparently.

Yes. Satan wasn’t joking around when he offered Christ rulership of the world. He actually can. You didn’t ask for how long though

When I was going through my goth phase in high school I signed a deal with Satan to hook up with a girl. Even signed in blood and everything.

Nothing happened, so I’m skeptical.
