And I might do a few things to that Nazi sister of yours, too. Unless, that is, you can think of a reason why I should not.”

So I got a book off Amazon recently, it's a hardcore deep dive by an ex-CIA agent using secret CIA documents, totally blows the lid of the Anglo-American establishment, get this: America is run by Nazis.

>It's fairly likely that the earliest history in the Bible, the pre-Mosaic history of the Patriarchs in Genesis (note the caesura between Joseph and his family sojourning in Egypt and the resumption of the story with Moses, it's not a logical narrative development but a chronological leap), was actually added to the historical narrative (and legal-ritual texts) of the Moses-Joshua-Kings period later, hence the caesura. That is, the core narrative of the historical writings was Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt and Joshua leading them into the Promised Land, and probably some or much of the "royal" history of Israel and Judah that follows, and the Genesis account was later added to bring the beginning of the narrative back to the beginning of God's creation of the world, casting the story of the Yahwist interpretation of history and the cosmos backward to the beginnings instead of having it begin in medias res with the reforming prophet Moses. To do this required melding what was known of pre-Mosaic history, and likely also distant Canaanite historical narratives and myths that would be known to many non-Hebrew Canaanites too (like Nimrod), with wider Mesopotamian myth/legend and also the cosmogonic tradition.
>Thus God, who originally was known as revealing himself through the prophet Moses, possibly as simple the tutelary deity of the Hebrews but either tinged with henotheism/monotheism from the start or later acquiring henotheistic/monotheistic associations, becomes known also as the God who, in the familiar and venerable Mesopotamian style, creates the cosmos (ordered reality) out of "void" (chaos). Thus there is a "spirit over the waters." Thus there is the supposed dual creation of humanity in Genesis 1 and 2. Thus there is God talking to.. who exactly?.. about how He fears mankind may become "like us," that is immortal, if they eat from the tree. And many other things that would inspire and bedevil theologians for thousands of years who tried to see a single systematic logic in them, like the paradox of how mankind could have known the sin of disobedience or hubris if they had not yet eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Most likely because these stories were originally more ambivalent and nakedly mythical than strictly narrative, as they have to become in the Bible.

>inductive reasoning is wrong because...ehm...because of this retarded heckin funny turkeyrino joke
>I made the great discovery that metaphysical bullshit which cannot be proven also, woozer, cannot be proven false, this is my principle of falsifiability. forget that this was obvious to every inductivist before me, I'm gonna pretend I discovered it and you will follow my deductive model.
>what? every scientist has always been an inductivist...wait...that doesn't count because...ehm...because they were actually deductivist...trust me bro.
>my entire critique to inductivists and verificationists is that you cannot reach certain conclusions ("problem" which was known to every scientist) that's why you will follow my model of falsifiability which still cannot ascertain conclusions because it would need infinite potential falsificators since every falsification can be falsified too, if you point out that this is the greatest tautology ever said well...think of the heckin turkeyrino and shut up ok, we actually need some degree of dogmatism, ok, sweetie?
>metaphysics is not useless garbage but it actually leads science because...ehm...because it just does ok?
>I'm a retarded faggot who didn't understand darwinism so I will claim that it is not scientific but metaphysical, then, despite having the knowledge of a middle-schooler in biology, I will have the nerve to make my own version of "Darwinism" which is teleological and thus contradicts the very essence of natural selection
>marxism and historicism are wrong but my moral values and ideas are right because...ehm...because they are, and my idea of society is a living self-contradiction

>man will not ACT masculine, woman will not ACT feminine.
It's used as a adjective. When someone acts they are in the physical. Nice try at coping.

anyone got a link for that book/article that presents the false myth that christianity caused the so-called 'dark ages', a period of anti-scientific views?
