as far as i can see about west africa (a) limited productivity of the territory meaning high cost of administration, (b) lack of eurasian or south american domesticated animals and vegetables, (c) painful disease gradients, and (d) isolation from trade once they reached sufficient scale, that they needed eurasian technology from others to continue scale. I’m just too ignorant still to understand. But it looks like a ‘Jared Diamond’ argument there.

I doubt any Indian actually stepped inside Mali lol

Traders

<@&588707615643795456> Daily Question ✝️

**-** Purgatory. Is it real or fake? What is like? What's its purpose? What in the Bible affirms it's existence?

The bible is not the sole authority on christianity

Well uhh I've never been there but I think it would be a logical consequence of having people who have not done enough to get into Heaven

Christianity is not the sole authority on religion

Its asking about christianity tho

@GlobalDelete tfw you know nothing about mysticism

If you arent good or bad enough to go one way or another, Purgatory seems like a logical conclusion

Real, it's not fun, it would be good to know that you are guaranteed into heaven

I yaint got time to justify it, I'll leave it at that

Atleast in Purgatory you can work off sin. It seems like a good place to put those who's only sin would be a distinct lack of faith

F

@Monty There hasn't been many non-christian questions though

And?

Dont care, all other religions are wrong

@GlobalDelete theres a reason for that you absolute not intelligenct individual. Because other religions are either satanic or heretical

According to who?

the immaterial essence is the same

the way of worship and being of worship differs

low iq

> According to who?
@GlobalDelete
According to anyone who knows anything about mysticism

You can disagree on the different denominations but that's it

well yea

the denominations are just focused on different aspects of the bible

the essence is the same

Apart from protestantism

Fuck protestantism

Protestantism is fousing on liberal aspects of the bible

altho idk

a bit too much

to the point of being crypto atheistic satanists

basically jews

whenever I see something stupid that undermines entire points of a religion it's always protties

Yeah but they rejected the niceaen creed tho

they might as well drop the act and become atheists

Ikr

Judaism and Islam are the only Chad religions left, Christianity has fallen to the gays, modernists and the heretics

When I say denominations i mean basically between catholic, eastern orthodox, high anglican and maybe gnostics
