Something tells me that EFSA and all those who worked hard to authorize the consumption of insect flour in Europe will not appreciate this research very much :sneaky:

All this seems like a 21st century re-edition of the thesis proposed by Henri Pirenne, in his "Mohammed and Charlemagne", published in 1937 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_and_Charlemagne

It's really difficult to make a selection. As far as I am concerned, some examples of Roman and Etruscan portraiture - including the Capitoline Brutus that I use as an Avatar here - are already a good starting point. If I have to limit myself to a regional scale, I would say above all some...

Absit iniuria verbis: what you cite is partly determined in my opinion by an unconscious or semi-conscious psychological mechanism (an inferiority complex?), according to which many of my compatriots - not considering themselves (or not being perceived) as true Europeans - prefer to pass...

Nothing to complain about the raw data provided by the company (which can very well be used on many platforms and oracles, many of which are perhaps even more interesting and realistic than 23andMe itself). But looking at the hard facts, the only real purpose of 23andMe's smoothing was to...

@Vitruvius, Just a clarification on the Italian situation. Few have the courage to admit it, but Italy is not a politically autonomous entity, both due to its historical past and its economic and/or public debt problems. And the current Italian political right is no exception. If this has now...

I can absolutely agree with what you say about Europe and its legitimate intention to preserve itself. What I don't understand is what the concrete solution is, and why residual Christianity in Europe could constitute an obstacle or a disadvantage in this sense. By secularizing ourselves and/or...

So? What is the reasoning? Until a few decades ago, were Christians in Europe perhaps a minority and distinct ethnic group compared to the rest of the population? In your area, were Patrick, Bede or Alcuin mysterious extraterrestrials who came from very distant galaxies? Have Europeans, whether...

You don't even deserve an answer, but I won't deny some teasing to anyone. From your anger I would say that I have fully guessed when I suspect a naive Eurocentrism more or less tinged with other paranoia. These are the argumentative skills of a 21st century European? Now I understand why...

Vallicanus, I already glimpse some crypto-Nordicism (or some naive form of Eurocentrism or some larval anti-Semitism) in those arguments according to which Christianity is based on silly Middle Eastern fairy tales etc. etc., which would have more or less tainted and corrupted the minds of...

Vallicanus, I'll clarify it better soon

Norbert, thank you for the comment. This is the kind of post I appreciate the most. What has excited me is the gratuitous generalization that has been made here and there in the Christian world, regarding intellectual and moral abilities... I also read elsewhere in another thread that they have...

Taktikat, right, but those priorities are duly discussed in other threads, while here we are debating the appropriateness/inappropriateness of Christianity's presence in the world today. As for the fact that you have never kneeled - as an act of faith and towards something not necessarily...
