The Armenian people's conflicts are fascinating; what they overcame in the USSR for their state. Mount Ararat is also a really interesting topic to look into. I don't believe the Armenians can visit it currently due to conflict with Turkey even though they highly identify with that mountain.
The irony is Harvard was the school that most heavy handedly pushed the Humanistic Law
and the Ethical Movement
The reason Armenia has for centuries been a march at the edge of empires is not its mountainous terrain, but the fact that Armenians' copious amounts of body hair form a natural layer of armor
meanwhile this book sits in the library collecting dust
someone finally found it
This armor can in fact stop bullets
and began reprinting it
@Fash Dragon LOL
they literally buried this book under 20 tons of stone
Armenians are Semitic BUT at least they are Christian
i will give them that much
SO
They say AYYYYYY BRO too much for me
Maybe that's a caucasus thing I'm not sure
Persians do it a lot too
They do mirror the Jews in some ways; talking about their own holocaust in WWII, their dispersion, less than desireable business practices, etc. They did a great job resisting the USSR and, like it's been mentioned, have soaked their land in blood defending Christianity.
The only difference is the Armenian genocide happened
brb goys
Truth @Fash Dragon
@Michael You went to the seminary? I was contemplating doing so for a while but never did
I did, Kingswood University in Sussex, NB, Canada. I was trained in the Wesleyan Holiness Tradition. Reformation Theology knocked my socks off so I became Neo-Reformed Calvinist, etc. Nature's Eternal Religion changed the way I viewed some things and Nietzche's concept of the slave morality made me doubt highly.
Sounds pretty heavy
I haven't talked about this kind of thing in years tbh, it's like 1% of my life. Like I said, deconversion was never a great thing, I loved my time in the Church.
My Monsignor was encouraging me, but some things happened and I lost faith for a long time
was Roman Catholic
Still am nominally, but I drifted into sedevacantist
One thing I will criticise the Calvinists for specifically is what they did to art. They literally robbed our people of glorious artwork.
Smashing statues, etc.
Fugg galvinizm :-DDDD
One of my father's coworkers is extremely Calvinist, I am always taken aback by the (negative) similarities with Sunni Islam
You Catholics and Orthodox have given the world some of the greatest artwork possible.
Calvinism is the reason I never play as the reformed faith in eu4
lol
I do respect certain Presbyterians though, before I converted to Catholicism I was very interested in Theonomy/Christian Reconstruction
On that topic, what do you think of the idea that Calvinism can serve a purpose in uniting certain ethnic groups racially; the church of Scotland serving as an example
But it's hard to apply the OT properly with a Jewish translation
I can't respect certain presbyterians on account of the whole Scottish thing
