the ancient greeks had kings

2017-02-12 18:03:42 UTC  

they had kings iwth no powers just to perform the rites of kings

2017-02-12 18:03:54 UTC  

yeah sounds like now

2017-02-12 18:04:18 UTC  

I just found your comparison odd

2017-02-12 18:04:29 UTC  

hinduism is by its nature an indo-european religion

2017-02-12 18:04:52 UTC  

in practice, it is less so than christianity

2017-02-12 18:05:02 UTC  

christianity is semitic with an aryan undertone

2017-02-12 18:05:11 UTC  

christianity is not really semitic

2017-02-12 18:05:20 UTC  

it is mediterranean

2017-02-12 18:05:24 UTC  

then why is the bible in aramiac?

2017-02-12 18:05:27 UTC  

and related to other greco-roman cults

2017-02-12 18:05:31 UTC  

it's in greek and aramiac

2017-02-12 18:05:36 UTC  

it is from palestine actually

2017-02-12 18:06:04 UTC  

and christiantiy has to be separated out from what it is versus what it was

2017-02-12 18:06:16 UTC  

it is still in palestine today

2017-02-12 18:06:21 UTC  

they are not extinct

2017-02-12 18:06:22 UTC  

yes but it is not what it was

2017-02-12 18:06:32 UTC  

their beliefs and practices are extinct

2017-02-12 18:06:34 UTC  

they still use jesus' tomb as a church

2017-02-12 18:06:51 UTC  

christianity is just the final form of roman imperial religion

2017-02-12 18:07:01 UTC  

the european forms, yeah

2017-02-12 18:07:07 UTC  

in the middle east too

2017-02-12 18:07:14 UTC  

they are by their nature bastard religions

2017-02-12 18:07:19 UTC  

they just kept their local oriental orthodox approach to christology

2017-02-12 18:07:36 UTC  

this makes the palestinians more pure christian

2017-02-12 18:07:44 UTC  

while european churches are mixed

2017-02-12 18:07:44 UTC  

how are they more pure christian?

2017-02-12 18:07:56 UTC  

they lack the european influence

2017-02-12 18:08:06 UTC  

they are the same thing in practice

2017-02-12 18:08:15 UTC  

I mean oriental Christianity to be clear

2017-02-12 18:08:52 UTC  

as far as I can tell they are a fully maintained Christian community since the original religion in Palestine

2017-02-12 18:09:15 UTC  

so why did they adopt the greco-roman christianity?

2017-02-12 18:09:27 UTC  

in all but esoteric christology that doesn't matter?

2017-02-12 18:09:29 UTC  

palestine was a roman province at the time of its creation

2017-02-12 18:09:30 UTC  

in practice?

2017-02-12 18:09:43 UTC  

why did it spread back from greeceand italy and the balkans?

2017-02-12 18:09:49 UTC  

why not the other way around?

2017-02-12 18:10:05 UTC  

I do not follow, why did it spread from palestine to europe?

2017-02-12 18:10:07 UTC  

they adopted the imperial religion

2017-02-12 18:10:12 UTC  

oh

2017-02-12 18:10:13 UTC  

not t heir local christianity
