It's was written in the era, in the hotspot of mixed cultures and societies, and above all, mixed worldviews and spiritual proportions

2017-04-11 18:57:42 UTC  

It describes conflicts, agitation, breakdowns and rises of groups and ideas

2017-04-11 18:58:08 UTC  

It gives pages and pages of testimony in politics, religion, society, war

2017-04-11 18:58:29 UTC  

It deals with some of the most important societies to have existed, namely, Babylonian, Persian, Egyptian

2017-04-11 18:58:43 UTC  

And forces you to read between lines, since you are aware that narrator is being subjective

2017-04-11 18:59:25 UTC  

And forces you to take every symbol and study it, since it has got to have had both a significance, and a different meaning than a modern man, due to his separation from such a mode of thinking and speaking, cannot comprehend

Even if the worldview of the Bible is to be completely rejected

2017-04-11 19:00:17 UTC  

You still have to read it in preciselly in order to study it, and it's participants and their modus operandi

2017-04-11 19:00:19 UTC  

that is not even what draws me

2017-04-11 19:00:26 UTC  

what draws me in are two books, genesis and revelation

2017-04-11 19:00:43 UTC  

if you threw out all of the bible except those, I would not feel personally that I lost much

2017-04-11 19:01:19 UTC  

Personally i find the story of Hebrews in Egypt quite intriguing

2017-04-11 19:01:53 UTC  

What a great political and social drama, so misread by the general population eager for bedtime stories

2017-04-11 19:23:10 UTC  

most of that is garnish not the meat and potatoes of the story which everyone gets

2017-04-11 19:27:03 UTC  

it's great for hebrews, historians and hobbyists but that's about it.

2017-04-11 20:38:10 UTC  

Hebrews in Egypt is a great story. Not only political and social, but also personal drama.

I dug around a bit because I remembered in the back of my mind

2017-04-11 21:12:51 UTC  

if you dig around you can find some prozak posts on there too

2017-04-11 21:13:05 UTC  

if I'm not misremembering

2017-04-11 21:16:17 UTC  

dauq did i just read

2017-04-11 21:17:26 UTC  

an old VNN thread where people try to dox Greg Johnson

2017-04-11 21:17:51 UTC  

I'm pretty sure Johnson himself used to post on VNN too

2017-04-11 21:21:08 UTC  
2017-04-11 21:21:21 UTC  

this may be something you want to check out, I don't know

2017-04-11 21:21:28 UTC  

forums are degenerate

2017-04-11 21:21:37 UTC  

and people who congregate on them are the worst of the worst

2017-04-11 21:22:00 UTC  

what about Discords

2017-04-11 21:22:34 UTC  

in all fairness, VNN was full of humourless nazi fetishists

2017-04-11 21:22:49 UTC  

who always tried to signal their hardness

2017-04-11 21:22:53 UTC  

these ten ways sound cool but they reek of "ethno-nationalist" sentiments

2017-04-11 21:23:16 UTC  

yeah that's them

2017-04-11 21:23:17 UTC  

i.e. history should stop from going on because we said so

2017-04-11 21:23:29 UTC  

close all borders and stop everything from happening

2017-04-11 21:23:41 UTC  

let me try

2017-04-11 21:23:50 UTC  

1. not close, but MAKE BORDERS

2017-04-11 21:23:58 UTC  

2. exclude people

2017-04-11 21:24:15 UTC  

3. bring about the reign of quality

2017-04-11 21:24:23 UTC  

how to enforce
