Not only did he not found or promote any of those he kind of took a stand against some of those concepts. The Great Peasant's Revolt in Germany was very much inspired by Luther's writing, seeking to apply his revolution against the Catholic Church to revolution against the nobility. Problem...

The Battle of Jericho, if it was a single real event and not just a story used to reflect the Israelite ascendency within the Canaanite culture group, predates Jesus' birth by 2000-1500 years. No one involved, from Rahab to Joshua to the Israelites to the Canaanites knew who Jesus was. Hell...

Right? Working my way through unreleased toys was a bit challenging due to how many have actually gotten homages as of late.

Palestinians are Arabs. And Arabs didn't enter the Levant in large numbers until the 630s AD/CE when the freshly Islamized Arabs came out of Arabia and conquered it from the Byzantines (Romans). The Siege of Jerusalem was from 636-637 AD/CE and was the finally conquest of the Islamic forces...

A lot of it was dumb luck. Even after antisemitism fell away in its most overt forms in the late 19th century it was still very much in vogue institutionally. Sure Harvard would now admit Jewish law students but that new Jewish lawyer was going to have a hell of a time getting hired anywhere...

I'm wondering if you'd saunter into a thread about Islamophobia and offer the nugget of "religion is dumb." Or is it ok because "Jews"? Like... assuming the best of intentions towards you... can you not see how walking into a thread about discrimination and bigotry towards an ethno-religious...

Communist countries have invaded other communist countries for not being sufficiently communist in their view. The US Civil War was fought for reasons that had nothing to do with religion. The wars of the 18th century had to do with powers wanting a mercantilist advantage over the others. WWI...

Yeah. I'm both gay and Jewish, and I take after my non-Jewish side of the family looks wise. So I don't look Jewish AT ALL. And I've heard my fair share of antisemitic and homophobic comments said around me because no one thought they'd apply to me.

Nice to see the Protestant ideal of picking and choosing which parts of the Bible were worth following was baked in from the start.

What made you think that other than both their names start with "P"?

I have. In IRL and even in this very community. This is profoundly messed up. Ashkenazi Jews, Jews descended from Jews who settled in Europe after the Diaspora, aren't the only Jews in the world. There are Black Jews, Asian Jews, etc... The Jews who stayed in the Middle East after the Diaspora...

You need to understand that your version of the rules doesn't apply to everyone. Here's where I'm at. You have signed up and made an account here, a Transformers message board. And yet not a single post of yours before this one is talking about Transformers. Most of your posts are in this...

Someone who accepts Jesus and then murders a bunch of people doesn't deserve salvation. First off find a better spokesperson than an antisemite and a racist. Second I'm not preaching anything. I'm not a priest or a rabbi or an imam or any religious authority. Thirdly I'm talking about a...

That's true. but The thing to remember is that the Crusades weren't particularly egregious by the standards of the time. After all the Pope called them at the request of the Byzantine (Roman) Emperor. And he was trying to reclaim the Holy Land, which had been Roman but was conquered by the...

So the Catholics argued that salvation was dependent on deeds and Luther argued faith alone? Rare Catholic W

If you believe Jesus is the Messiah then you believe that. No one's stopping you. But you're in a thread about antisemitism badgering Jews about why they haven't accepted Jesus' divinity. Do you not see the irony?

You've massively misunderstood me. Early Christians were already circumcised because they were Jews already. What happened was as early Christians started to spread their faith outside of the Jewish population they originally thought these non-Jewish converts would have to convert to Judaism...
