A glimpse into an ancient religion almost forgotten.

@pe7erpark3r I retract my words on that topic, seems like I was mistaken. Although my belief that saying that "God" and "Christ" did anything to resolve that situation is just being somewhat blind to the reality hasn't changed. some good christians helped, some bad christians made things worst. That's how it goes.

Yap. Too many bad christians out there :sweat_smile:

And that whole "Christian on paper" thing is a very good tool to avoid linking religiousity into world problems... let's try that next time a Muslim terrorist do some shit... He was muslim "on Paper"... I mean, we really need to see things as they are, not as they should be.

I think we should always differentiate.

I can show clearly that Hitler was not following christian morality, nor did he go to church every sunday... Most of the things he did contradicted the christian faith. I mean the catholic church even makes it really easy to define what a catholic is: you are catholic if you believe a certain list of things, and act accordingly. Hitler did neither.

Let's take the muslim terrorist. Imagine the newspaper headline: muslim terrorist bombs newspaper. Seems clear right? However there certainly are enough newspaper outlets today who would use this exact headline, when the guy in fact was fired by the newspaper because his new boss was a Nazi... But yeah, if a muslim terrorist is motivated by fundamentalistic doctrine, which definitely is the most common thing, you are absolutely right. We should be clear and honest about such things.

@Silhouette fair enough to you to silhouette, it takes courage to admit when you are wrong

[Silhouette]

@Thales_BG Understood. No hard feelings.

You have an excellent taste in music. Lateralus is a quality song, with powerful lyrics. My chosen Tool track would be Ænema, but Lateralus would be a close second. Deliverance is also a wise pick.

Zoroastrians are plenty dude... i know lots of them. basically as far as i know it used to be the dominant religion in persia/iran till islam made a hostile take over and they all fled.
And btw its a very deep and meaningfull, more than christianity or islam..

[Xandoré_BG]

@MarsAttacks well, they seem to be very scarce outta India and Iran, but I agree with your point about being very deep and meaningfull. seems like that. I have to say "Core" Christian and Muslim are extremely deep, although equally hard to grasp due to thousands of years of corruption and straight up mistranslation. But they also had a very deep and meaningfull message and core values before they started killing everyone.

[MarsAttacks]

@Thales_BG I live in Cyprus mate. Were pretty tolerant here :v: Yeah haha in Iran you dont find any I think. The regime is very strict and the ppl that follow it are a bit... different lol.
Regarding religions Islam and Cristianity are a bit twisted nowadays. And...Christianity killed more people than Hitler lol.

[Xandoré_BG]

@MarsAttacks Oh really? Cyprus? Cheers dude, I heard about how the new generation there is kinda getting over the whole turkish/greek situation going on there. is that right? also... I double checked, They say there are some Iranians zoroastrians, but maybe they dont live in Iran, i'm not sure. would need to watch the video again to be sure. but, yeah, Iranm doesn't seem like the most welcoming place when it comes to religious liberties.

[MarsAttacks]

@Thales_BG Yeah kindoff guess the mentality is shifting but it will take a loooong time before everyone accepts the situation. And... its a bit more complicated than greek/turkish. Baxsically, were Cypriots. Greek/c and Turkish/c. Theres a lot of opposing ideals going around, Some support that were Greek period. Some dont like the Greeks caused they screwed us over again and again. Some dont like the Turkish occupation. Some dont like the T/c either even though this was their home long bfr 74 events. and a handfull of ppl, with whom i associate my beliefs, put everything in the past and dont care about it. Shit happens. It happened over 40 years ago. Its not changing so... why should I view the subject and ppl in a negative light?
Yeah lots of Persians are zoroastrians but fled the country. have a lot of prrrsian friends and cquaintances. Cool ppl. I like he lingo too.

[Xandoré_BG]

@MarsAttacks let's hope it can settle down for real in the future then, I've learned a bit about cyprus history, it is a very interesting place.
Lots of archeological sites as well

[MarsAttacks]

@Silhouette you just revealed your level.. We're not gonna bother downvoting you blab all you like, it doesnt make a difference.

[MarsAttacks]

@Thales_BG yep before ottoman occupation it was Greek. A lot of of ancient Greek ruins. Outside my city weve got an Apollo temple. Mehh Cypriots are very stubborn. Some idiots even want to increase our military, like the fact that turkey is kinda a superpower and if they wanted too invade we wouldnt withstand more than 24 hours before game over no matter how advanced our military is. Seriously..tsts

[Xandoré_BG]

@MarsAttacks Oh yeah... militaristic dudes are everywhere and no reason seem to penetrate their thick dumbskull sometimes... I mean... in here (brazil) we had people saying we should start making preparations to "defend our Sovereignty against whichever enemies", I mean, we couldn't even defend our country from a mexican cartel.

[MarsAttacks]

@Thales_BG No offense that president of yours and the regime are prickly! God damn fascist pig. Ours is a thieving lying bastard but nobody knows him or cares lol. Brazil huh? Shweet

[Xandoré_BG]

@MarsAttacks Bolsonaro is just a captain of the army. dude was never supposed to run a god damned country as messy as this one. But, you how it is... Democracy doesn't always work out the way it was supposed to... People are just dumb dude. everywhere, people are dumb.

[MarsAttacks]

@Thales_BG I concure... And its getting worse. Politics are a chaos today. Different everywhere. Democracy now seems a bit like an illusion, a lie we keep telling ourselves. mehhh fuck it all. Mooney and profit and capital is driving this bus..:/

[Xandoré_BG]

@MarsAttacks money, profit, capital AND some strong hand pulling all those cords from behind the curtains. let's never forget things are weird all of a sudden. that smells like some major plot to undermine western society. I would bet on Putin 100%. HEHEHEHE

[MarsAttacks]

@Thales_BG yeah...funny thing is, they dont even bother pulling the curtains anymore. they do everything in plain sight and if you got brains enough to figure anything out about whats really going on, well, youre a conspiracy theory loon. hahahaaa. no seriously the world iq is going down the toilet... u got flat earthers in brazil too btw?lol HAAHAHA

Well it's not putin :sweat_smile:... Here you go: https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/ageing/replacement-migration.asp ... sad sad stuff really.

And nobody understands that the real reason behind all this is our own immorality: Why do we "need" immigration? Because we started aborting our kids and choosing to be rich and have lots of fun instead of having kids and doing something meaningful with our lives (the pill & co.). It's our own immorality that lead to this. The merchants bought us, they bought the temple (us), again. We have become materialistic. Those who bought us, want to get the last penny out of us of course. And they will get it, unless we give up our immorality, and stop being bought with material goods and meaningless fun... bread and games people.

[MarsAttacks]

@pe7erpark3r hey spidey...he was joking lol... are brittish by any chanse?

[pe7erpark3r]

@MarsAttacks not british no :joy:... and I doubt he's really joking. I'm not joking, and the UN's agenda to replace the european population is actually quite openly on the UN's website too, so they ain't joking either :shrug:

But I think the brexit shows (even though I think it's enacted stupidly) that democracy still kinda works
