So instead of taking the glory for themselves like pretty much all other humans they decide to preach about an imaginary friend? Meh… Between “guy who got lost in history” and “bunch of guys that raved about that one gf that went to a different school”, I’ll go with the former as the more plausible one.
I’ll concede the fact that it’s not the same level of proof as other figures, but all these people writing about him is more than we have about others.
Ah, okay. But then we can’t really make a claim either way, can we? We don’t really know who he was or who he claimed to be.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:58
Which is from one of the original 4 gospels. Apparently there’s evidence of it being written as early as 70AD. There’s a couple other quotes I found in a link some other person linked in this thread but this one seems most direct.
One simple one was one apostle saying Jesus told them to go barefoot and with no staff and another saying he told them staff + sandals.
Don’t believe in god either way, but if it’s good enough for the majority of historians , then it’s good enough for me. Not sure why you’d need more, but you do you.
What about all the other ones? There’s dozens. Including ones where there’s no room for interpretation like with those ones.
Exactly this. The person did exist. There’s proof of that. It wasn’t the son of god and didn’t perform miracles, but he was real nonetheless.
Ofc there are. Unless they got destroyed someway or another. There was a guy named Jesus that was crucified by the romans and all that. There is proof of that. It’s all the biblical stuff that there’s no proof of.
Just… don’t use anything one can’t control as an insult.
Unfortunately, nope…
Toxic guilds is why I stopped playing wow. Can confirm. Also healing is both harder and more fun than dpsing when done right
I thought Lenin used his interpretation of the communist manifesto to develop Leninism (even if he didn’t call it that). Then Stalin “improved” on that and developed Marxism-Leninism and then Mao “improved” it further and made Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. They’re all Marxism, but like… Super Saiyan 1,2,3 etc versions of them.
I’m sorry but wasn’t Marxism-Leninism developed by Stalin? You’re agreeing with Stalin, not Lenin, aren’t you? Partly with Lenin as well, sure, but you’re forgetting Stalin here. Or is that a marketing thing?
Of course. But the more people(and different people too, not just journalists and politicians) tell them, the more likely it is for the message to finally go through
My bad. You’re right. Then yeah, no, they wouldn’t. Cause the message won’t reach the most of them. They would care if they understood that these people are survivors of a different fascist government. They’re what Palestinians might be 80 years from now. It’s history. Except they can learn it from living people instead of books.
For the same reason young Germans should care. For the same reason everyone should care. Because fascism is bad and everyone should listen to these people and vote against it. Op simply pointed out that there’s a pretty fascistic government in power right now in Israel and hopefully the youth(and everyone else for that matter) will take some inspiration and vote against it.
At least that’s what I take from that.
The only thing the article shows is that putin is a lying sack of shit and that they’ve been negotiating a peace since february 2022. The fact that they couldn’t agree on terms and you blaming it on western support is purely your interpretation, has nothing to do with facts. It literally said in the article that russia’s first first peace proposal was capitulation. And negotiations brought it down to “neutral” russian puppet, at which point negotiations crumbled. There’s no bias there, that’s what happened. Even the last version of the draft was something that was unacceptable to Ukraine. Anyway, I’m done. You’ll keep blaming Zelensky, because that’s all you’re capable of doing, I’ll keep blaming putin, because he’s the one that started this and the one that can stop it. There’s no point in arguing further.
First of all, that’s your source, not mine. Also, if they wanted to keep their warmongering interests hidden why even publish that article? You make no sense
Secondly, really? Your argument is “you’re supposed to believe putin, not the ones that conducted interviews, did research and wrote the article”? That’s biblethumping-level of weak, c’mon… “Nooooo, you’re interpreting the holy texts wrong”
Except if you’d read the article you’d see that’s bullshit and doesn’t support your claim at all.
Quotes from the text: “And the Russians knew these provisions would make it more difficult for the Ukrainians to accept the rest of the treaty. They might, therefore, be seen as poison pills.”
“Still, the claim that the West forced Ukraine to back out of the talks with Russia is baseless.”
And calls it “putin’s manipulative spin”
Yeah, I guess that’s fair. Religion and history are so intertwined when it comes to this subject that it’s easy to dismiss sources as biased, which is what’s happening here. Still not convinced they should be dismissed in this case
