They could not be actual Christians as soldiers, they would be penitents and catechumens, forced to do various penances such as lie face down weeping while listening to a sermon, could not partake in communion, etc. Their souls were still damned according to Christian doctrine until the bishops saw true repentance.
You'd be more convincing if you actually looked at the same sources. But a cursory glance and then spending hours coming up with just the right retort seems to be your forte. Shame it's useless.
Forgive my delay in responding. I'm employed and try to sleep at least seven hours a night.
Again, there's nothing forbidding military service in the Bible. Bible > Tertullian. The Bible clearly shows widespread apostasy long before the sources you're citing, proving that they entirely questionable as sources for Christian doctrine. Even with the sources you're citing, the main objection seems to be the inherent idolatry involved in serving in the Roman military (sacrifices to pagan Gods, eating sacrificed meat, etc.) not to military service per se. I've repeated these things many, many times but it never seems to sink in with you. I don't understand why this is so hard, or why you're so obsessed with proving that Christians must be pacifists. It's an interesting theory but highly unlikely to bring down Christianity anytime soon.

"Sola scriptura"? What's that, and what is this strange moonman language you're using? Heh.
Sorry. Seriously though, Christianity is doing fine. Fairly well here in Latin America at least. It's provided me with a traditional wife who was a virgin when I met her and doesn't mind changing all the poopy diapers. I understand that you used to be able to find women like that in the US, before we abandoned Christianity in favor of feminism. Ye shall know them by their fruits, as Jesus put it. Why get bogged down with a pet obsession and miss the forest for the trees?
So not only do you not grasp the concept of the three tenants of Christianity, you seem to be unable to distinguish amongst the various factions. One thing's for sure, you have the Christian idea of Jesus magically fixing any and all societal ills. As though a Mexican stepping on American soil makes him American, so a ho becomes a housewife if she just believes in Jesus.
It's clear you need this forum more than most. May I suggest starting here.

I assume you're being disingenuous, but if your reading comprehension is really so poor in English that you think that's what I'm saying it's pretty difficult to believe that you've somehow managed to discover the esoteric nature of the true Christianity through your studies in Latin and Greek. That said if it's comforting to imagine yourself intellectually superior to all the Christians dummies you might as well. We all need something to get us through the night, after all. I prefer to think of my attempts to understand the Divine as the intellectual equivalent of an ant trying to comprehend advanced philosophy. That said I understand how Christian faith such as I can muster has blessed my life and hope to understand more some day, somehow. Or as Paul put it, we see through a glass darkly in this life, but in the next all things will be revealed.
It's too bad you're so bitter towards Christianity. There's a lot of good stuff in the Bible that even a non-believer could appreciate (Ecclesiastes, the parable of the talents, Paul's stuff about women and their role in the church, etc.). You should consider reading it some day.

RE: What epiphanies have you had since taking the pill?
Back to the original subject - what epiphanies have you had since taking the red pill:
Spiritualism (often manifesting itself as paganism) is chick crack.
Quote:...For the stripper set this seems to be par for the course, but I wish I could say this chick-crack phenomenon was limited to just women who had some vacuous spiritual/emotional hole in their lives to fill. No, all women (yes I said all) are predisposed to the intrigue that metaphysical imaginings sparks in them. If it smacks of secret, covert knowledge, privy only to a chosen few, then you’ve got an attentive listener in a woman. UFOs, palm reading (always a classic), psychic premonition, ‘gifts of prophecy’, really anything that hints at knowledge beyond the ordinary is fair game. Chick Crack is not just limited to off-brand spiritualisms either, you’ll find that far more women than men will develop (conveniently) an affinity for, and are more invested in, religion than men.
Though I disagree somewhat with his last sentence - at least as many men as women (if not more) are into Islam as are the women - it's a prescient observation. Every self-described "spiritual" person I've ever met is a woman, to include nearly every pagan, Wiccan wannabe, etc.
Rollo's perspective of religion is no doubt derived from his growing up in post-feminist western civilization, which as discussed ad nauseam is seriously adrift from what it was even four or five decades ago. Nevertheless he's spot on. Only a woman would pass off an insipid uttering like "I'm not religious but I'm spiritual" as if that means anything other than "I'm special and mysterious!"

2. Sportsball serves no purpose, it's a tool to distract people. Fraternity/group bonding can be found in military, mens group, church, etc.
3. University education does nothing for you and tremendously over-valued. Everyone has a university degree these days and lots of debt. Better to learn computer programming or get a STEM degree.
4. Media bias is real, and media often creates their own narratives- Perfect example is the whole RV meetup controversy a few years ago. I can't remember now, but i'm pretty sure that's what piqued my interest in ROK-- the media's hysteria made me think something in their narrative didn't add up.
5. Deep State. Started with Snowden, and became more and more aware. Esp. with Trump now, it's clear they're throwing up obstacles to keep the status quo.
Amazing post I agree 100%

Girls who have aspergers usually are hardcore atheists with zero interest in anything non-scientific.
Additionally there are red pilled men who believe Pagan Gods & Goddesses who are not beta at all.
Not many, but they do exist.

Could the same be said in regards to paganism that are men who are Spiritualists but not beta at the same time?
