This is actually very true, and it's very freeing to be able to finally admit it. Thank you for finally making it public.OP worships my wiener and tongues my anus.
That is absolute horseshit. The ooga booga Ottoman Empire was a clown show of perpetual cruelty and slaughter where not even their sovereign was beyond having a busted mental state from being locked up in a palace while some gang of shady imams ran the whole operation.So this is hard to believe but before the modern state of Israel. Islamic Arab countries were not that bad of a place to live in.
Wonder why they don't settle peace these days.I think they even settled several conflicts and did enjoy peace time.
How many wars has Israel started and how many were started against Israel?It wasn't till Israel came along and got 1st world countries to bomb the middle east that created the power vacuum for the taliban to thrive under.
Retard, who are the richest fucking monarchies in the world?Which if you didn't know, a lot of the leaders of radical Islam are pedophiles funded by Jewish bankers. I can only assume it's to keep Israel in power and Arabs in check.
Depends on who your ancestors were and when. Some of mine just literally translated their gods into saints and went on from there. They never called them fake and gay, just transformed them. They sure as fuck did not give up a lot of pagan practices up till today.>insist Christians are cucks
>call for worship of idols of the ancestors who left them for Christ because said idols were literally fake and gay
You can't "translate" or "transform" an idol into a Christian saint-- that makes no sense. If they're canonized, it's because the top brass of the jurisdiction is officially saying they're worthy of veneration, after examining the claims from the community or sub-community that started venerating them. If they're deemed worthy of veneration, it's because it was determined they lived exemplary lives according to the tenets of the church, as far as can be ascertained. But, before that determination, it's determined that they actually existed.Some of mine just literally translated their gods into saints and went on from there.

That's not saying anything about all the other muslim nations that since their founding up to this day are one of the worst shitholes to live in. Not a lot of Jews in any of them either.

You're rambling absolute nonsense. Where the fuck did you get this 12 Islamic states bullshit from lolI think it was the ottoman empire that was the first one to be taken out. The ultimate end belief of Islam is that the 12 Islamic states will be united by one king and he will lead a war against the world and conquer it. Which is very similar to what modern jews believe. This is because Islam was made up by jews to destabilize and conquer the middle east. As well the fall of the ottoman empire disproves the Islamic prophecy, so the thing that literally just kept them fighting among themselves has been broken.
Nobody says they are. Nobody is.As well the jews aren't so innocent.
Atheists*Being the one who pushed the communist revolution in Russia,
Again, this is just conjectural rambling bullshit.the ones who pushed the king of Britain to resign for their puppet Elizabeth and their war hungry dog Churchill.
That's amazing.Even in modern times the jews have massacred civilians in neighboring states and even experiment on their own population as a means of population control of the poor.
You're rambling absolute nonsense. Where the fuck did you get this 12 Islamic states bullshit from lol
The Islamic end time is all Jews being killed, Jesus coming back as some kind of muslim superman and killing all Christians. Different sects believe that at the time Islam will be on a massive decline, other believe that Islam will indeed have conquered the world.
And the fall of the Ottomans, while a huge moral kick in the moral gut and something that led to the end of the last caliphate that was worth a shit up until ISIS, the end of one muslim state means little. In Islam it is a mandated belief that ay and all land that muslims had ever owned is mandated to be eventually taken back. You have all manner of retards in the arab world who call for a reconquest of Spain, though the saner folk in power don't listen to them and keep them as a public clown show.
Beyond that, Turkey is still muslim country.
Nobody says they are. Nobody is.
The Jews are still miles and leagues better than the muslims tho. Ask the masses of Palestinian women and children who flee to Israel for welfare and shit.
Atheists*
This whole 'everyone whose mother is Jewish is a Jew' meme is getting real old.
It's like calling Richard Dawkins a devout Christian solely because his parents were Christians while his own beliefs are as anti Christian as it gets.
Again, this is just conjectural rambling bullshit.
That's amazing.
Now again, retard, I ask again, who the fuck has the richest fucking monarchies in the world?
They're literally Greek lolWoah, the Palestinians fled to Israel despite being there before the state of Israel. Ok
You can't "translate" or "transform" an idol into a Christian saint-- that makes no sense. If they're canonized, it's because the top brass of the jurisdiction is officially saying they're worthy of veneration, after examining the claims from the community or sub-community that started venerating them.

Idols don't have mythologies that could fit any of that bill. Even if people mixed in pious Christian actions or associated miracles/relics into those mythologies, the product is a novel fiction that's neither a pious person who existed nor the idol meant to be "transformed".
who, the Palestinians? I thought they were just sandniggers pretending to be descendants of Goliath for that legitimacy, same as how Yids claim theyre the true IsraelitesThey're literally Greek lol
Goliath was a Philistine, which means "invader", who were Greek at the time, so I guess the plot stands lolwho, the Palestinians? I thought they were just sandniggers pretending to be descendants of Goliath for that legitimacy, same as how Yids claim theyre the true Israelites
>talk about Christian historyThis is a retcon. Rome
>talk about Christian history
>only supposedly familiar with western Christianity
>assume interlocutor is Catholic
Putting that aside, the fact that the see of Rome (or any patriarchal see) didn't make their own investigative commission until whenever doesn't mean that no investigative process took place, especially with the lower bishops.
Also, the canonization process is presumably not enshrined as dogma or is otherwise functionally equivalent, which is why the Trent cleanup and process revisions could occur and be clearly and shamelessly recorded in the first place-- any Christian community that leverages a "dogma" designation will maintain that it's the dogma, most of all, that's infallible.
Finally, my point still stands: "transforming" idols into saints is a nonsense notion that no pagan would have actually engaged in, because it would necessarily be the production of a novel fiction that's neither saint nor idol.
You're assuming there was a lack of criticism or standards. You had to be able to talk about the person's life, and especially if they didn't have any writings that could be reasonably attributable to them-- and they were able to suss out false attributions even back then, even beyond determining its cohesion with their orthodoxy-- you had to at least be able to attribute evidence of a standing miracle or relic that allegedly was involved in a miracle. For martyrs in particular, there was a category for, or general sense of, "proven" martyrs who definitely existed.The East is even less rigorous than the West when it comes to the cult of the saints. Trent's liturgical reforms happened because with the advent of the printing press and the university system, scholars, many of them Protestant, but not all, started turning a critical eye on medieval folklore and discovered, well, it mostly collapses under scrutiny. In order to maintain the old religion, but address the parts that had become an absolute embarrassment in the wake of both moral scandals and intellectual revolutions, the Catholic Church cleaned up a lot of things at Trent. The East never did any such thing, and basically continued to have an uncritical medieval approach.\
"Investigative commissions" are a pretty recent invention. By and large, the Church put close to zero effort into investigating folklore and myths over the centuries. Hagiographies, legends, and the like tended to get passed along uncritically,
How? The protogospel of James was excluded from canon anywhere where a council that determined a canon list occurred, West or East. It was outright condemned in the West, in fact. Borrowing the names of "Joachim" and "Anna" to address Mary's parents isn't "heavy influence".which is why forgeries like the Protogospel of James heavily influenced liturgical festivals
The impression I've gotten so far is that the idea of St. George literally slaying a dragon was always understood as a legend that people all over came to like as a fun story. Iconographic depictions of the Church militant triumphing over a "dragon" (representing Satan) didn't suggest an event involving an actual dragon.and outright fairy-tales like St George slaying the dragon were celebrated for centuries
Write something on vellum, claim Basil the Great wrote it, and you've got yourself an "ancient unchanged Tradition."
Every time someone's told me this, the examples they gave were either facially immaterial, outright false, or both.The transformation of the old gods into saints probably wasn't as simple as, "Okay, well, the goddess Brigit is St Brigid now." But there are some pretty obvious links between pre-Christian rites, mapping the old gods' domains onto the saints, and so on.
The ones during the Age of Exploration wouldn't transfer "pagan cultic domains" onto saints-- they would try to relate Christianity to the pagans using their religion, ideally not unlike Paul using the altar of the unknown god as a contact point to introduce the true faith to those at the Areopagus.AFAIK the claim that Christian missionaries just transferred pagan cultic domains onto saints is speculative,
There's fuck all else to do in the desert if you have no money, and there's only cars and goats to play with if you do have money. Picking fights when you're bored is as old as time.Wonder why they don't settle peace these days.
Jesus flying around at mach speeds punching people's heads clean off is some of the most hilarious imagery I've thought of all week. What a shitshow, at least convert your Christian brothers to Allah.The Islamic end time is all Jews being killed, Jesus coming back as some kind of muslim superman and killing all Christians.
