/lit/ - Literature

Start with the Greeks.

Start with the Greeks.

>muh norse gods

Truly the worst people.

>>6701108
If the bagan 'gods' are so alpha, why did they lose?

>>6701108

It's very hard to find. Literature is the refuge of the beta type.

>>6701125
Read Nietzsche, pal

>>6701108
>reminder the Norse "gods" is being and will be BTFO by the ice giants in Ragnorok

>meme paganism
>not embracing true patrish Gnosticism

>>6701134
>reminder that even knowing that, instead of giving up in the face of certain doom, they and their followers still work hard in Valhalla preparing for their destiny (and they're not depressed about it either, they end each day of battle practice with a giant feast)

>>6701131
Nietzsche was a syphilitic dweeb.

>>6701462
Shut it Stearns, you're just annoyed that he's a more popular jew hater than you. Get yourself a 'tash.

>>6701462

Fuck off, /pol/, nobody wants your pagan bullshit here

This board has been claimed for Christ and his Church

>>6701543
>implying /pol/ isn't a Christian board

>>6701550
/pol/ hates things and people too much to be truly Christian. Those fuckers seethe with ressentiment and petty disdain. They can't accept the Gospel- or Nietzsche, for that matter.

>>6701556
We're praying for you.

>>6701573
This is either a troll or someone who doesn't understand Christianity. Which isn't surprising given no one on /pol/ knows what the fuck they're talking about.

>>6701583
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

>>6701556
>No True Christian
let me get my popcorn before you start eating each other

>>6701593
Know a tree by its fruit.

>>6701587
>>6701576
These people don't understand Christianity and think of it as a vehicle to return the world to how it was under imperialist Europe. to call them christians is akin to calling ISIS muslims.

>>6701556
The blue eyed christchan is a particularly amusing example of wishful thinking. As if the future of Christianity isn't in Africa.

>>6701608
I like Christian-Chan, though, she's adorable.

>>6701573
how does /pol/ reconcile both claiming to be countercultural and claiming to "say what everyone else is thinking." they don't make any sense together (and it's obviously the latter - the shit there is very much in the general cultural mainstream though not the news media mainstream).

>>6701607
>impying ISIS aren't Muslims

>>6701626
>implying /pol/ is one person

>>6701608
and the Americas and China in the furture hopefully.

>>6701622

>>6701608
Christ-Chan is Catholic, and the future of Catholicism obviously isn't in Africa considering the AIDS epidemic and the Catholic stance on condoms

>>6701622
A Christian shouldn't have a problem with accurately representing Christianity with a black Christchan though, now would they?

>>6701635
Huh, the version I typically see has her as a redhead. Did /pol/ make her blond?

>>6701646
lol y r u soo0o obsessed w/ race?

>>6701630
>he thinks ISIS are representative of Islam.
Hi /pol/ thanks for stopping by.

>>6701648
No, the redhead is canon. I was simply sharing an ultra RARE custom Christ-Chan.

>>6701651
>implying they aren't

>>6701573
>>6701576
>>6701603
>he thinks Christianity and Conservatism are compatible

Hilarious

>>6701646
It would be better to make her ambiguous. Dark, brown hair. A slight tan. The blue eyes can stay, because they are present on all continents, including the "dark" parts. This would also make her look more mediterranean, which would make sense, since that's where the actual Vatican, as well as the biblical locations, are.

>>6701651
Different anon here, I hate /pol/ beyond any reasonable degree, but ISIS is definitely representative of sunni islam, just like Iran is representative of shia islam.

>>6701661
Are you for real?

>>6701673
Thank you and God bless you!

>>6701649
Not race per se.

However, if you were interested in making sure Islam doesn't overtake Christianity as the most popular religion, its pretty clear Africa is Christendom's best bet. Not only in demographics, but level of belief.

If /pol/acks are serious about Christianity's long term future they should seriously reconsider their position on being cucked and buy plane tickets for their mothers, sisters and wives to Africa.

>>6701674
By conservatism he means the facet of modernity, which of course would be silly to extrapolate from Christianity. I think John Milbank is one of the few who manages to draw his political position completely from Christianity.

>>6701674
>implying /pol/ isn't atheist as fuck
>>>/pol/46616102

>>6701573
Holy fuck this is some evil shit

>>6701573
Saved for debating christians. Holy fuck.

>>6701603
lol read the old testament you dumb fuck.

>Implying the god of isreal isn't the only god
>Implying the messianic age won't come through the jews
>implying the aryans aren't a bastardisation of the actual intellectual jewish master race

>>6701630
>implying /pol/ is one person
No. I'm implying members of /pol/ conceive of the community as both countercultural and as "saying what everyone else is already thinking," which is a contradiction.

>>6701731
>one thread

ZOMG U PROOVED IT

>>6701746
>>6701759
Have another!

>>6701543
>implying /pol/ isn't the reason everyone on /lit/ except me is a Christian now

>>6701761
>the messianic age won't come through the jews

Jesus Christ is the messiah.

>>6701573
>we could avoid glorifying hitler and making murder games
kek le gas the kikes race war now is the high moral ground that society just doesn't understand. This man would be defined as a christian by no one less ignorant than himself.

>>6701771
Wat

>>6701771
well ask them. Sine you obviously go there a lot why don't you start a strawpoll?

nice false flag by the way.

>Alpha / Beta male

>>6701781
>muh internet strawpolls

Yeah those are super reliable. . .

>>6701779

>>6701776
why aren't we in the messianic age then?

>>6701800
We are awaiting His return.

>>6701800
Did you not read Isaiah?

>>6701804
>>6701810
It was the response to the /pol/ retard who thought jesus was the messiah

>>6701810
TY based Christ bro.

>>6701813
Jesus IS the messiah.

>>6701813
I'm not a /pol/ retard, but I do think Jesus is the Messiah.

I'll ask again: have you not read Isaiah? Do you know the Messiah has to be put to death and die for the sins of humanity? You of course realize this doesn't happen during the Messianic age, yes?

>>6701810
give me a quick overview?

>>6701820
Preach!

>>6701825

>>6701821
Isaiah is the major book of prophecy about the Messiah, who is God and the sacrificial lamb for humanity, who will be born of a virgin and will be persecuted to death. It also is about when God will stop being the God of the Jews, and be a God for all people, and even the Egyptians and the Assyrians will be his children.

>>6701820
>>6701816
Do you believe in the Jewish eschatology?

>>6701829
Lewd.

>>6701832
That depends on what you mean by "Jewish". If you mean the Hebrew religion which Christianity is the proper and true continuation of, yes, I certainly do. If you mean the heresy concocted by Rabbi Akiva, then no, I don't.

1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:

3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:

4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:

5. The third day he rose again from the dead:

6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:

7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:

8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:

9. I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints:

10. The forgiveness of sins:

1l. The resurrection of the body:

12. And the life everlasting. Amen.

>>6701845
meant for
>>6701832

>>6701845
I always like when "God, the Father Almighty" is repeated, the repetition sounds so lordly and poetic.

>>6701831
I agree that god is accepting of all the peoples of the world, and that Christianity is the way to gain his acceptance. I also think that israel bears significance and should be given to the jews. The messianic age is imminent, world peace is obtainable and post scarcity is a inevitable consequence of world peace. also its all metaphors, the garden of Eden is a metaphor for the universe (see spore) amongst others.

>>6701858
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
- Psalm 85:10

>>6701820
He was known as a magician by the Romans that recorded activities of Jews in the area. So we know he pulled hoaxes to convince people he had powers. This is probably how he faked his own death. He may have botched that last trick though. At least that would explain why the gospels agree with each on so many issues until the account of his ressurection, where they diverge on many details.

>>6701842
Christianity is simply the repression of the satanic impulses of those not born from Adam and Eve. Its God's mercy to those that weren't directly created by him.

>>6701878
>:3

>>6701866
The Jews are not "the chosen people" except for the ones who were righteous and accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. Christians are the chosen people, because Christians are those of the true Jewish faith.

>>6701880
>of those not born from Adam and Eve.

But every human being is born from Adam and Eve. . .

>>6701853
why would Christ descend to hell?

>>6701888
Trips confirm.

>>6701878
He faked his own crucifixion? C'mon, man

>>6701898
Because he died? Where do you think he went? Heaven? Nope, he had to suffer the consequence of sin for all humanity. He also had to take righteous people out of hell who were died before they could affirm him ("The Harrowing of Hell"). Christ was there for a couple of days in our time, but from the perspective of being in hell it might not even have been fathomable in time.

>>6701898
http://www.uscatholic.org/articles/201301/why-did-jesus-%E2%80%9Cdescend-hell%E2%80%9D-26836

>>6701891
intuitively this is not true, if you look at the different races within the time frame of the old testament this isn't possible

>>6701902
No that's not necessary. Just his death. Wouldn't be the first magician do go to extremes for their art. Houdini paid the ultimate price.

In any case, that's a more plausible explanation than rising from the dead.

>>6701915
This is a Christian thread and we are discussing the Christian faith. Take your heresy somewhere else.

>>6701888
nah, only non-jews have original sin


>>6701913

>>6701915
Stop

>>6701925
How the heck does one survive being crucified and impaled by a spear?

>>6701888
anyone who accepts the god of Israel as the only god is chosen, Jews and Christians alike.

>>6701928
What's your logic there?

>>6701928
>only non-jews have original sin

>>6701927
Jesus was a son of David. The old testament is part of Christianity too mate.

>>6701934
The so-called "Jews" reject the God of Israel.

>>6701933
You'd be surprised. Its a very ineffective method of execution. Crucifixion mostly about sending a message rather than killing. Its very telling that he wasn't simply left up for just this purpose. We can't assume that any Romans were not in on it.

In any case, the account that he went to heaven and then came back is just silly.

>>6701941
Of course it is, but to deny the universal human lineage from Adam violates BOTH Christian and Jewish beliefs.

>>6701934
Jews as a race where they are Christians (Galatians 3:28), not as a religion (Galatians 5:2). As as a religion, Judaism today is heretical. There can be good Jews, just like the good Samaritan, and we should always keep that in mind, but Samaritanism and Judaism are alike wrong religions, and neither "chosen people".

>>6701956
>yfw

>>6701930
Only applies to the jews
>>6701938
The idea of heaven isn't what you think it is, heaven is to be created on earth with the jews (the one true gods people and the current intellectuals etc)at the helm. Any non-jew who accepts this(and yes literally heaven not some jew trick) can stay, if not good luck in hell.

>>6701956
He didn't come back. He will, but he hasn't yet.

>>6701963
AMEN.

>>6701965
It always takes more trust to believe a supernatural account of an event than a natural one.

>>6701970

>>6701958
I am a heretic, my beliefs came to me whilst ridiculously high on E. God created the jews on earth, the other humans are products of evolution.

>>6701970
Heaven is a feeling of the most intense love from every creature, and a reciprocation of that feeling. It's not a caste system.

>>6701977
Thank you for complimenting my faith.

>>6701971
jesus was just a way for the jews to placate the satanic masses

>>6701990
Surely that's true.

>>6701988

>>6701990
I'm not saying it is, any non-jew can be part of it, there is no separation once heaven is acheived

>>6701993
Faith is just a bad reason to believe something. It can never be a compliment.

>>6702005
I disagree.

>>6702005
faith is just an oldfashioned way of saying intuition

>>6702002
You just said Jews would be at the helm, and that requires a separation of them from non-Jews.

>>6701994
Shouldn't you be at Yeshiva or something?

>>6702009
And you have no good reason to. Because that's how you form your beliefs.

>>6701608
And Asia.

So many of the Asian immigrants I've met are Christian.

Apparently the number of Asian Christians is way larger than the number in the US.

>>6702016
at the helm of the creation, the definition of heaven requires no hierarchy

>>6702027
Faith is an act of will. My good reason is that I want to believe.

>>6702032
>definition of heaven no hierarchy
god angels etc what are you even saying

>>6702017
nah I'm not even jewish lol, although I think I might be genetically which would explain my ability to identify hapless goyim

>>6701661
Christianity isn't compatible with Liberalism (at least the Liberalism of the US), either.

>>6702043
>I think I might be genetically

I agree.

Does alpha mean being a leader or getting the women or being gregarious or "not caring" or what.

These things don't correlate nearly as much as /fit/ and other .. masculine parts of the Internet like to believe.

semantics lad, I mean't between humans

>>6702034
>bashing your head into a wall is an act of will.
>my good reason is that I want to.
4/10

>>6702032
Jesus will be at the helm of its creation.

>>6702041
God is Lord, but the relationship is more complex than simple hierarchy ( John 15:15 ), due to Christ being both God and made, and enduring humbling on the cross.

>>6702051
it would also explain why I'm at a top university and why my family is rich and not stupid. /lit/ should embrace jewish ideology intellectualism is at its core.

>>6702034

And yet you don't have enough faith to jump off a building while wanting yourself to fly

O ye of little faith

>>6702073

Typo. Christ of course was not made, he was begotten.

>>6702073

>>6702069

enough of this

>>6702074
Along with some other things.

>>6702073
in fact, you've made an excellent point. by following jesus you are in effect part of the jewish plan for heaven on earth. good job anon!

>>6702078
Yes, Jesus was a true Jew, which is what Christians are.

>>6702087
like what?

>>6702091
I'd say so
>>6702092

>>6702092
except they aren't if your grandmother isn't jewish, you aren't. They are followers of the god of Israel which is a different thing.

>>6702095
Secularism (paradoxically) and Israel.

>>6702103
Being a Jew in God's eyes is about faith, or else Samaritans would be more Jewish than righteous converts.

>>6702104
I wouldn't say I'm secular in the traditional sense, the universe was created by one god. And I believe that Israel holds an unknown significance and that the Holocaust was a direct result from the jews not occupying it.

>>6702110

They would be if they ran a Banking News Channel

>>6702110
I mean Jew as in descendant of Adam and Eve, not as in a follower of the God of Israel. Semantics I guess.

>>6702116
its okay anon, satan will be with you soon.

>>6702121
What are you even talking about? A lot more than Jews are descended from Adam and Eve in Bible. Ishmael is the father of the Arabs, Ham is the father of the Canaanites.

>>6702151
yeah but it doesn't fit into timeline that everyone is descended from Adam and Eve. like when did jewish people become black?

What is the most epic of Greek epics?

Aeneid?
Illiad?
Odyssey?

>>6702267
deez nuts

>>6702267
Titanomachy, like Transformers, but even cooler!

Read the Greeks.

>>6702267
Toss up between the Aeneid and the Odyssey for me (even though the Aeneid isn't greek you dumbass)
