Palestine essentially has 2 parties. Roughly half support Hamas, and the other half supports Fateh, with the latter being more popular in Gaza, while Hamas is actually more popular in the West Bank

all of the non-diaspora palestinians i know are anti-hamas but then western leftists and diaspora are all pro-hamas i find that interesting

Christians seem to have forgotten or are simply ignorant about the immense mercy of God.
There is a subtle wisdom in The Qurʿān, the final revelation, that out of all the different attributes of God, He chose to emphasize his mercy and graciousness before every single chapter

@khandaqlover @adam7867863 He died according to the scriptures and was raised up on the third day.

@adam7867863 @Sirwilliam___7 I guess it’s special in the sense that it shows God’s power. What do you think about the resurrection of Jesus? I’m partial to the idea that everyone saw him die but people saw him walking around after his resurrection so rumors spread

@Sirwilliam___7 Still doesn’t make him special though. Maybe first among many

@khandaqlover Historical context is that the Jews did not believe in the reasucrtion. I mean, some did. It was a big debate that time. Greek ideas of the immortal soul and the evil of material
Jesus was the answer of those existential questions. Paul fleshes this out

Not to read too much into a comic, but IMO "generational trauma" is tabula rasa bullshit. You recreate the same dysfunction as your parents because YOU SHARE THEIR GENES. My father was nothing but gentle to me and I'm still an angry and physical person because guess what - that's

There is no society where the men are righteous and the women are depraved, women reflect the men of their society in behaviour and morals
You get the women you deserve

@adam7867863 The religion of the pre Islamic Arabs was Heracletian. They refused to believe in Being. Only Becoming. A dogma that nothing can exist forever. Appears in so many different places independently including Buddhism. Very interesting

Arab and Greek aristocratic ideas on immortality are interesting.
It seems like in both cases they wanted to maximize their fame so they could live forever.
To be alive is to be perceived, to be acknowledged. A life of obscurity might as well be death.

What? Achilles laments that he is dead and not alive. He wishes he could return to life for just one day to punish those who abuse his father. Right after that, Odysseus tells him about his son and how heroic he was, which makes Achilles feel triumphant. You're completely wrong.

@khandaqlover I am aware of indian thought's influence on christianity (buddhists and other indian merchants were ell established in eygypt by the 2nd centrury BCE so it's obvious). I had to read it again to make it make sense. my bad.

Islam, even in its symbols, is the representative of the true West.
Islam is a Western optimistic religion, while Christianity is an Eastern pessimistic one.
There’s a reason Schopenhauer claimed Jesus studied under Indians.

@cottagehermit I’m technically wrong but correct in spirit. He claimed Christianity in some way had Indian roots. “The New Testament... must in some way be derived from an Indian source. Its ethical system, its ascetic view of morality, its pessimism, and its avatar—are all thoroughly Indian”
QME
@khandaqlover islam being an optimistic western religion is the reason... Schopenhauer claimed Jesus studied under Indians?
