Got all serious on me
I just maintained seriousness 🙃
Nah, but like I think that in most cases it wouldn't affect me atleast
But yeah there are these surreal moments where you realize this person, who you mentally categorize as near-ish to yourself, didn't experience say, 9-11
Or they were an adult shortly thereafter
It might the other way around
I dont remember 911
I was 3 at the time
Exactly, and I was in elementary school then, and my friend was on the tail end of highschool
Yeah, I think that is the biggest turn off for an older person
You know they are just farther ahead because they are older
I mean I wouldn't really care, but I can understand why someone would care if they were the older one
fuck it it's beer and design time
Well night all
Sleep calls to me
One thing that has been bothering me a tad bit is that Tim has been conflating Christianity with Islam. I get and mostly agree with the point he makes around it, that it is hypocritical of the left to vehemently defend Islam while hating Christianity, but the way you phrase the argument is flawed. Islam and Christianity are indeed both Abrahamic faiths but they have less in common with each other than they do shared, and anything they share is often viewed radically different by both groups.
Islam in reality is built on Arabian Paganism moreso than Judaism and Christianity.
The Kaaba for instance, the giant granite cube they pray in the direction of five times a day, that was originally a pagan temple that Muhammad incorporated into Islam
🤔
Stuff like the Jinn come from pagan roots.
If we want to compare Mosaic Law and Sharia Law, they are also radically different
So same method different results?
what a snake
Not really, if we compare how both Christianity and Islam spread (the two evangelist abrahamic faiths) Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire preacefully and through chosen conversion.
(both of them)
Islam did through conquest and jihad
I mean wrt pagan practice adoption
Also Make Iran Zoroastrian Again 👌
hey does anyone have a link to that image Tim used in his last video showing the split between democrats and republicans, with democrats increasingly diverging in opinions?
Polytheism is flawed in that it does not hold one God up as ultimate even if there is a head god.
In that way a polytheistic religion is extremely fragmented and held up by a culture and not the other way around.
I am personally a greater proponent for Pantheism
A belief in an ultimate God from which all manifestation of God derive from.
Monolatry is a closely linked concept I also believe in. Which is the acceptance of many gods but the worship of only the One.
But if we go back to Islam, and look at the five pillars of Sunni Islam it is easy to see that Islam is wholly distinct from the closely connected Judaic and Christian religions.
Who is Max Stirner?
Isn't he a irrelevant egoist
