Christianity is literally a pleb religion for the most lowly of slaves. How on earth is Christianity any different from Islam if both encourage peasant mentality and blind submission to one's master? Clearly the West's achievements came from some other philosophy than one made for the world's greatest underachievers.

early christians regarded muslims as just another christian denomination

TOP KEK. What's *clearly* the philosophy for "achievers" then?
James Walker
I don't know but it was definitely one a winner would follow
Jordan Diaz
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who isn't a Christian is a loser.
Leo Young
why don't most western christians intentionally live in poverty like the bible says to
Juan Carter
lol you mean anyone who isn't an anglican, an episcopalian or a latin mass catholic
Lincoln Sanders
Islam came 600 years after Christ died on the cross. Try harder.
Cameron Barnes
The same cynical use of Christianity to manipulate that clearly non-pious politicians use all the time right now.
Clinton ordered bombings on oppressed Christians in the Balkans to promote a larger agenda, just to make this example even more relevant.
Adam Wood
The West's achievements came from the Faustian spirit of the Indo-Europeans.
Dylan Cooper
What made the Aryans so Faustian? You can't just mumble neo-nazi shit like this without backing it up. Do tell more user.
Jonathan Morales
So sick of you fucking fedoracucks thinking you know anything about religion cherrypicking Bible verse to back up your slapdash reasoning.
Matthew Stewart
>His God refuses to give any reason as to why he's necessarily even there, never mind necessary, good or important. >gets mad at people who said this would probably happen
Camden Parker
Because the bible never says so. >inb4 Matthew 19:16-24

David Jones
>worlds greatest underachievers
Coming from someone who doesn't even know which board his fedoralord bullshit belongs in.
I hate zealots too, but god damn take your euphoria somewheres else
Samuel Jenkins
you have at least some semblance of a point. the influence of Aristotle in Christianity is pretty obvious if you compare medieval or renaissance thought with that of the early church.
Sebastian Thomas
Also, to try and liken western values and achievements (lots of which were just borrowed from each other or stolen from someone else) is ridiculous.
You can't say just one event or group or idea created the west in its entirety, if you take any element of the West's creation out of the equation it becomes a drastically different set of theoretical outcomes.
Jordan Scott
moron
Leo Rodriguez
Great fucking point. Care to explain in detail?
Ethan Jackson
Go read up on Emerson's Over-Soul and Jung's Collective Unconscious. People don't "borrow" and "steal" "culture," whatever that means.
Ian Richardson
Serving the master doesn't need to be taken literally. You take in any stray emotion, no matter its disposition. You suffer if you have to. You burn away your youthful ego and accept fate I choose this route to wholeness over the new age's childish fleeing towards bliss and willed blindness
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice. meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whatever comes. because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. — Jellaludin Rumi,

The entire history of the west is composed of people directly or indirectly underming the church and its teachings. Christianity gave the thinking man an enemy. Religions around the world are easy to comply and agree with as oppose to one that explicitly forbits anal and usury.
Evan Peterson
Should I get you a tissue? Did you think someone was shit talking your master race and just see red?
The post refered to western achievements, and the prerequisites to those were frequently borrowed from each other or stolen and changed.
Cultural icons can be too. See Rome and Greece
Eli Lopez
I forgot that the philosophy elitists only think that discussions relate only to philosophy
Chase Jenkins
yeah, you're definitely a moron. i usually feel remorse for insulting people, but you deserve it.
Alexander Lopez
>ur dumb
U too bro great discussion.
And it wouldnt be a lit thread if you didn't pepper in your signal that you are above cruetly or idiociy but you couldn't help yourself this one time
Lucas Lee
>N ahhhh the mystics
Oliver Stewart
But you actually don't know shit lol
Nolan Baker
>religions that say you are a slave by definition but will be treated mercifully if you follow the rules and have no choice in the matter leads people to think they're slaves
no shit?
Lincoln Martinez
wat
Adam Roberts
You literally cited Jung approvingly, moron.
Chase James
you mad?
Carson Lewis
For real, i've had dreams that made no sense. You search the web and find myths with the same themes. Shit's weird as fuck.
Daniel Wilson
Dude you FUCKING trolled him bro hahahaha you totally got em dude like god damn he probably is mad and you asked him if he was!!!!! Teach me your sage like ways because I actually don't know shit lol
Daniel Wright
>Teach me your sage like ways
Nah you're a lost cause
Jayden Mitchell
Damn you roasted me too dude, I bet you like have your dick in some pussy like 24/7 bro
Easton Carter
>me too
you aren't fooling anybody
Nicholas Barnes
the peak of Western culture was reached before Christianity existed
Parker Butler
Are you retarded?
Zachary Sullivan
The guy who bitched about Jung wasn't me.
Kevin Cox
Not him, but nigger do you not understand how long 600 years is?
Christianity was well established by the time Islam was formed. There weren't any "early Christians" by then.
