Islam did it first.

The technological exchanges at that point are hard to disentangle, with the weft and warp of the silk road and of the Arabia India ship route to add in.

I think you're trying to overthink things

I'm saying the Islamic golden age and the advancements it brought technologically predated the rise of Christianity (or rather, Europe) and was incredibly impactful, just overlooked often due to the Euro/Ameri-centric teaching of history.

DOT...Anything apart from Christ can sound similar to the carnal understanding but without Christ you can't have Son-ship.

Essentially, Christ had to take on the nature of man so we could have the nature of God.....it was the purpose of God taking on the nature of the flesh and dying to it and being reserrected. It was so we could share in his death (to the flesh reality) and enter into his nature (God/Kingdom reality)


i'll smoke what you smoking

Yeah, I'm not knocking anyone's religion or nothing, I'm just saying this is some wild sh*t that people just kinda accept as being more normal than some of the wilder stories from other religions, like that time Loki transformed into a female horse, got impregnated, then birthed a horse with 8 legs which Odin rides into battle.


That sht sounds a lot more cool though than turning a wife into a pillar of salt for looking back at all her homies getting smoked for living hot girl summer.

My favorite passage, Ezekial 23:21

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

True regarding Fournier being an expensive roll player. But he could have value to a playoff bound team wanting scoring.
Rose played great when he played last year. He might have more value, especially with that shorter contract.

Regardless of who goes out, I'd look to move the other at the deadline. And note - we aren't winning anything anytime soon, so I see no point in have Rose on the team - give him a chance at a chip on good team and get a return (aka - what got us Quickly.)



If Fournier (clearly our best shooter) is an expensive ROLE Player, than mitch ( a player no one team had interest in) must be a a 100k honda accord

Or it could be that these Muslim countries now are mostly backwards as hell where terrorist attacks happen constantly and their women look like walking garbage bags.

Whatever innovation they came up with thousands of years ago went out the window apparently lol.

But this has been an enlightening discussion. Carry on.
