Sir Darius the Clairvoyent

Is used in nations as diverse as Iran, Norway and ethiopia (and a whole bunch of others, mostly northern european). Why?

YOU CAN. NOBODY HAS SUGGESTED YOU CANT. YOU HAVE SUGGESTED WE SHOULD (because of abortion????)

Please do, would be very interresting. ——— anyhow, wasnt virgin just a mistranstlation for young women or something anyhow?

No. I have engaged with the real topic of this thread, now I am arguing about Your increasingly rare rants: “Thus with their virtue protected they live uncorrupted by the allurements of public shows or the stimulant of feastings. Clandestine correspondence is equally unknown to men and women.” [Tacitus, Germania, 19 “Almost alone among barbarians they are content with one wife, except a very few among them, and these not from sensuality, but because their noble birth procures for them many offers of alliance.” [Tacitus, Germania, 18]

From the king of fake empathy: saying Thank you in every comment while continueing to push your unwanted doctrine on people who very clearly are not interrested, in a thread that you have hijacked

Wtf does abortion, condoms and womens rights have to do with christianity anyway? Wonder where rape was more common, in palestine or pagan Europe. «For this point in history, however, Viking women enjoyed a high degree of social freedom. They could own property, ask for a divorce if not treated properly, and they shared responsibility for running farms and homesteads with their menfolk. They were also protected by law from a range of unwanted male attention.» https://www.historyextra.com/period/viking/vikings-women-home-matriarchs-traders-artisans/ find me something similar in the bible, please

Apart from the lions of the Plantagenet(England and Normandy) coat of arms, 12th-century examples of lions used as heraldic charges include the Staufen (Hohenstaufen)and Wittelsbach (Palatinate) coats of arms, both deriving from Henry the Lion, the royal coat of arms of Scotland, attributed to William the Lion,[b] the coat of arms of Denmark, first used by Canute VI, the coat of arms of Flanders (Jülich), first used by Philip I, the coat of arms of León, an example of canting arms[c]attributed to Alfonso VII (1126), and the coat of arms of Bohemia, first granted to Vladislaus II. Coats of arms of the 13th century include those of the House of Sverre (coat of arms of Norway), the Ludovingians (the lion of Hesseused by Conrad of Thuringia), Luxembourg, the kingdom of Ruthenia (Volhynia), the House of Habsburg (the Habsburgs all but abandoned their original coat of arms after gaining the Duchy of Austria in the 1270s, but it remained in use in derived lineages such as the House of Kyburg), the kingdom of Bulgaria and the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia (Rubenids).

But Lions in particular. I find it so bizarre that they are that common in northren Europe. Could you shed some light on it?

They Ask you to belive on blind faith (and threaten you with hellfire) because they cant make you know. We all know it takes a man and a woman to make a child. Now ill go play the piano or something so I do not say anything I will end up regretting.

Oh really, Thank you for enlightening me, i had no idea, I thought it was due to atheism.

Yiu know what makes me sad? Seing my people getting raped and murdered on a scale never seen before and you useing it as an excuse to push your religion.

Please dont contact me again. Honestly, shame on you for splitting on the swedish people like that.

That comment annoys me more than you belive. First of all, do you think scandinavia was all Rape, murder and without virtue before your little lamb ideology pushed it self up here? Do you think everything became a utopia when it did? Do you really credit christianity with building roads? Do you think we lack conience? the reason for the explotion of crime, Rape and murder in scandinavia is VERY simple. If you cant figure it out yourself, I can not help you. Alternativey, you can do a very quick google search.

You couldnt have missed the point any harder, even if you activley tried to. Im out.

Haha chill both of you, it didnt give me ptsd

Gotcha brother. Like an australian herding dog, but instead of sheep its for a goat in sinai.

@Nungali I would never tell you what to do, but dont you think it is time to… well, let put it this way: no amount of reason, Logic or arguments is going to Get trough.

In certian areas of the capital of Norway, it is going in the same direction.

I could answer you, but I wont. I think you and I both know why this is the case. Here we call it «svenske tilstander.» translates to swedish conditions.

So, this is something I have pondered about. I think this is in large part while I struggle to understand the philosophy of the far east: that our languages differs so radically. Here is a list of the world largest families: World language families Indo-European. 2.562 billion. 44.78% Sino-Tibetan. 1.276 billion. 22.28% Niger-Congo. 358 million. 6.26% Afro-Asiatic. 340 million. 5.93% Austronesian. 312 million. 5.45% Dravidian. 222 million. 3.87% Altaic. 145 million. 2.53% Japanese. 123 million. 2.16% In the case of this forum, I assume the overwhelming majority belong to either indo-european or Sino-tibetan. In fact, 66% of the world does. What I want to discuss here, is how this forms our understanding of reality. As the only chinese word I know is Nǐ hǎo (I am not excagerariring, it really is) I will limit myself to talking about some indo european words and its realtion to spirituality. I hope, however, anyone familiar with other languages can share some of their knowledge. So lets look into some indo european concepts: breath and spirit All the following word has or had the double meaning of breath and spirit: - Ånd or varations of it (scandinavia) - spiritus, mens, animus or anima (latin) - Pneuma (greek) - Geist (german) - spirit or mind (english) - Espirit (french) - Atman (sanskrit) Here comes the juiciest part, in my opinion. Atman is a direct cognate to ånd (mentioned above) as well as old english ǽþm and eþian, from where the modern english word breath comes from. Sacrifice «In the creation myth, the first man Manu and his giant twin Yemo are crossing the cosmos, accompanied by the primordial cow. To create the world, Manu sacrifices his brother and, with the help of heavenly deities (the Sky-Father, the Storm-God and the Divine Twins),[43][47] forges both the natural elements and human beings from his remains. Manu thus becomes the first priest after initiating sacrifice as the primordial condition for the world order, and his deceased brother Yemo the first king as social classes emerge from his anatomy (priesthood from his head, the warrior class from his breast and arms, and the commoners from his sexual organs and legs).» So, what we see here is that the world is shaped by a sacrifise. Trough ritual sacrifice to the gods the world is kept in order. Cosmic order and universal reason Wall of text (An interresting note here is that both the term darma as well as karma is derived from rta. Same concept, in other words. Logos is another famous example). Hospitality and reciprocity In proto indo european the words for to give and take was the same word. Likewise for host and guest. This implies a culture of reciprocity (which we also see in sacrifise mentioned above). In ancient greece as well as norse society it was a crime/taboo to not let a wandering stranger stay the night and feed him. We find refferences to this in havamal as well as other places. In Norway it was literal law until somewhere in the 1800s. Tacitus, in his work Germania, likewise remarks on how the germanics both give and take without any guilt, and how the concept of rent is foreign to them. Relationship between mankind and the gods The PIE word for god meant celestial. The word for man meant earthly. You see this reflected in latin homo and humus as well as english (t)human. Another distinction is made, as in Homer for instance, between the imortal gods and mortal men. However, trough acts of superhuman courage, some men could ascend, become gods, achieve everlasting glory. This is what happened to Ceasar for instance. From Havamal (sayings of the high one, aka Odin): 77. Cattle die, | and kinsmen die, And so one dies one's self; But a noble name | will never die, If good renown one gets. 78. Cattle die, | and kinsmen die, And so one dies one's self; One thing now | that never dies, The fame of a dead man's deeds. The serpent slaying myth Long story short: cattle is stolen, Trito (the warrior) goes to a cave and fights a serpent (the word for serpent is negation) or some kind of monster (read: aboriginal), slays the serpent and retrive the cattle. Cattle was to them what money is to us, basically. So Trito is the archetypical warrior. It means, as you can probally tell, third, and has been used as ephitets to both Zeus and Odin. A more mystical interpertation: «According to Martin L. West, the Proto-Indo-European name *Trito('Third') may have been a "poetic or hieratic code-name, fully comprehensible only with specialized knowledge".[33]« Paradise The PIE imagined the afterlife/paradise as a green field/steppe. Not suprisingly, considering they were steppe people Before this, all has been sourced. From here on tho, this is pure speculation. The word eden (paradise) from the bible is borrowed from sumerian. In sumerian, the very same word means steppe. Any connection, do you think? final remarks This thread was suppoused to be about how languages shapes our world view. However, it turned into a monologue on the proto indo europeans, both because I lovd the topic and because I am a rambler… However … I would highly appreciate if some of you could share some concepts from your own language, that would be difficult for a non native to comprehend! ❤️‍🔥

I havent had the pleasure to see it my self, but my god is old Egypt awe inspiring.

How about dragons, eagles and ravens? Is there a deeper meaning to this?

O mi Iesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, salva nos ab igne inferni, perduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent.

This is some thing I know nothing about. I know a fair bit about the origins of germanics, celts and latins, but zero on Europes largrst etnic group: the slavs. Can you enlighten me, please?

Allow me to take on my tinfoil hat, but does it relate to babtism in anyway?
