The Nostratic language hypothesis is already extremely speculative, let alone anything about the religion practices of those hypothesized speakers. @faassen @elithebearded @makeworld Your comment made me go looking to see if the chart’s designer had made any updates… and wowsers, look what I found! Source: https://www.patreon.com/posts/all-religions-in-101663307 Looks cool for sure! I can't find the Nostratic pantheism anymore. I think any connections before recorded history literally spanning thousands of years are speculative at best. Though potentially cultural continuity can be inferred from material artifacts, that doesn't necessarily mean religious continuity. Whether it even makes sense to call ancient practices a religion is debatable. It's a pretty modern term with implications that may not work In Indo European languages there are hints of shared names for divinities reflected in Greek, Roman, Germanic and Hindu pantheons. This is fascinating! I am not sure whether such shared linguistics roots exist in other languages. Various middle eastern groups have shared mythologies too but they had continuous close cultural contacts, also shown by Greek mythology having things in common with them. @elithebearded @makeworld That one was a hard fork, and Baha'i then hard forked from it. Mormonism is a hard fork that kept cherry picking commits and never fully removed the branded trademarks. "Not shown" according to the text at the bottom of the figure. More importantly, this figure leaves off the Ukrainian Byzantine Lutherans. @makeworld Heh. Lucky for you, I was between shots, and I only spit out a little diet coke. @makeworld Just in case you haven't heard, or have forgotten about, the emo philips joke: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2005/sep/29/comedy.religion @dirckb @makeworld I was literally thinking about this exact joke. So glad you found the source! I got to see Emo live a number of years back. He was great. I still remember: "I travel a lot for my work, but I'm not married and I don't have any children, so I don't really get the full benefit." @flo @makeworld That's maybe why Germans say, they "only understand train station" 🤔 Oh, but it's fractal! Here's the diagram for JUST the Church of Scotland since the Reformation! @bluecaller @makeworld I thought, this wasn't just one guy—wasn't it a father and a son high on spirits or something? @bluecaller@urusai.social @makeworld@merveilles.town everyone is waiting for the second coming of the repo owner @makeworld I kind of love the idea that Caravaggio’s Beheading of John The Baptist is actually just depicting a detached HEAD situation. @makeworld @makeworld be careful @makeworld Shouldn't "Early Christianity" be less of a line and more of a cloud? @makeworld Nothing screams "our shared experience of the same objective reality" more than charts like this one. Everyone is entitled to their own imagination, but not to their own reality @makeworld the grey early line was even worse i don't even know what this codebase is about anymore. @makeworld Look I disagree with you about this very specific detail about the divinity of Jesus so I'm going to fork the whole repo and build my own church. This doesn't show the american fork, where we tried to merge the protestants, but there were too many conflicts. |
