Why did nobody tell me the bloodiest civil war in history was caused by a nontrinitarian chink full of prelest?
>>18757529This is said constantly. You're either 12 or retarded if you've never heard of this before.
our greatest hero
hakkoids and their consequences have been a disaster for the han race
He supposedly never even encountered a Bible. Supposedly. He was just insane. Used an exotic western religion to inspire and gather support against the Chinese equivalent of the Jew (the Manchu).
>>18757529I laughed my ass off until I learned what they did to his son, and I’m like, what the actual fuck is WRONG with you Cixi.
>>18757611These niggas should've carried posion with them at all times to avoid executions like this
>>18757611>what the actual fuck is WRONG with you Cixi.Seems pretty chinese imo
>>18757611>>18757655The sheer concentrated amount of rage, and cheering, directed against a confused youth about to be literally cut apart into strands alive and in front of thousands (with his body parts sold as magic medicine) was just so inhuman, it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever read. So many awful people.
>>18757529It's even funnier when you find out he was proselytized by a Southern Baptist from Tennessee.
>>18757529This has been discussed extensively, you're just 21.
>>18757529Imagine if he won bros. China would be awesome
>>18759018No it wouldn’t. Whenever the Chinese embrace Christianity it turns into a cult. It’s fucking creepy.
>>18759235Asians kind of miss most of the point and context of Christianity in the same sense Westerners miss the point and context of Buddhism.
>>18758898I was already deeply familiar with this at 21, 12 is more apt here

>>18759235>ChristianityYou can't believe horrible suffering didn't happen in the name of Christianity, including burning alive in public throughout the globe. Just take a look at the Portuguese Inquisition. Those were some nasty fuckers.
>>18757611the chinese are monsters. one should always remember that.
>>18759235Retard, the Taiping was started because American Protestants (a deformation of Catholicism) preached their religion in China.Apostolic Christian churches like Nestorian Christianity (Assyrian Chirch of the East) was in China since the 7th century Tang dynasty and Catholicism first came to China in the 13th centuryChinese didn't turn either of those churches into cults.It's western Europeans who invented Protestantism which branched off into tons of creepy cults like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witness, Seventh Day Adventists, Christian Science, Amish, Mennonites, Hutterites, Quackers,, Methodists, Puritans and Southern Baptists.American and British missionaries preached their cult Protestant megachurch style strip mall church cults in China so naturally locals would copy it.Western Europeans turned the Catholic church into dozens of creepy cults.

>>18759241Buddhism is literally just cognitive behavioral therapy for coping with the ephemeral or transitory nature of life and the reality of suffering. Its hardly a religion, and only really became one when the monks realized that complete renunciation and austerity with no real goal other than a vague notion of 'release' from the cosmic lottery, which Gautama himself never clearly defined, was a poisonpill to the masses. So they added all the metaphysics and cosmology we associate with Mahayana Buddhism and basically smuggled Siddartha back as a pseudo-deity who deferred nirvana to help people on the path to enlightenment, along with a panoply of gods and spirit buddies. Meanwhile, the Theravada sect remained the most pure in that they resisted the incentives to embellish the Buddha's teachings, but became a comparative minority in turn.As for assertion that the West never understood Buddhist teaching, you've got to be out of your mind to believe that. Never mind the parallel convergence with respect to Parmenides's monism and Pythagoras's/Plato's theory of metempsychosis, which evinces some degree of migration of eastern Brahmanic thought. By the time you get to the early first, second, and third centuries of Christianity in the Roman empire, you see all kinds of ascetic practices and a fixation on 'detachment' and 'spiritual insight' gained from meditation and renunciation of the material world, from the desert fathers to the Gnostic sects and the Manicheans besides. The whole of late antiquity is dripping with the reality of Buddhist ideas and praxis cross-pollinating and influencing the Christianity of the Eastern Roman Empire. And it was the rejection of these foreign imports by the church councils that kept Christianity from being mongrelized into yet another 'loop-the-loop' cosmic lottery cope cult.
>>18757529He's closer to proper Christianity as in the Bible than anyone in the West.

>>18763456Dutch people ate the liver of their own prime minister.Dutch Protestants literally ate their Prime Minister in the 17th century and at executions in Enlightenment era Europe, crowds would gather to drink blood from the victims and human body parts were used in European medicine.
>>18763454>>18763456The severed left hand of a dead criminal left to hang overnight coated in gold wax can perform many a magical trick. But never, EVER light a red candle in its palm, unless you want to meet the Devil.
>>18757529>>18757610More of a Muhammad type than a Jesus type, huh?"Initially, he continued in Nanjing the practice of keeping women and men of the Taiping living in separate quarters, including husbands and wives. They can meet, but without touching, and keeping a distance. Sexual intercourse, again even between spouses, was punished with the death penalty. The prostitutes and homosexuals of Nanjing, of whom there was no shortage, if caught, were also executed, and the same punishment was inflicted on the prostitutes’ clients. The separation went so far that shops were divided. There were shops for women and separate shops for men.The rule of separation from the opposite sex did not apply to Hong himself who, by the count regarded by historians as most reliable, took eighty-eight wives, but in addition had easy access to virtually all of the some 2,000 women living in his royal palace. He prescribed that the women should carry him in a palanquin, feed, wash, and keep warm their Heavenly King, obey all his orders, and always smile.Jealousy was one of the crimes leading the women to be publicly beheaded. For small faults there were lashes, and the women should keep smiling and praising Hong while the punishment was administered. Repeating the same fault, crying, or stopping smiling, led again to be beheaded. Other people who should be “instantly beheaded,” Hong prescribed, were those who would gossip about Hong’s private life, how many wives and concubines he had, and what he did with them."
>>18763454>>18763456I bet none of this is even remotely true. you just have to read the many accounts of famines whereby eating human flesh is always the standard illustration of how extreme the situation was. you think this would have elicited more than a shrug if cannibalism was common? you are echoing brown envy-propaganda.
