Cosmas the monk on Genesis. The 6th Century monk criticised pagan belief in a spherical earth

[@generalRAAM95]

It's still incredible as to how many abrahamists, for it is not only a Christian characteristic, believe literally the contents of their respective 'sacred texts'. The ancient pagans, starting by Plato (especially the Timaeus referring to the topic of creation that this video refers to), give a much better explanation. Well done, my good man. Will ve expecting your next video.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Appreciate the watch my friend. Next one out hopefully in a. couple of days!

[@anamnesis7216]

You provide valuable content, thank you and please keep up the good work.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Appreciate that. Thx!

[@jakek.403]

Hey, another video! Your content is brilliant as always. Hope you keep it up.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thx Jake.More content on the way for sure:)

[@Vyom4676]

Amazing as always,sir.

Thx Bharat. Appreciate you spending time to watch.

If this individual thought Earth was flat, nothing else he said can be taken seriously.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Equating Greek science and learning with paganism essentially closed Cosmas' mind

[@Peekaboo-Kitty]

So true. The first thing I always ask in a discussion is "How old is the Universe?" If they say 6,000 years, I know I'm speaking to an IDIOT.

[@Cat_Woods]

This was very entertaining, hearing how pagans called out bad science and a Christian justified it. I guess we didn't learn from it yet, so we're doomed to the repetition.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thank you! Oh agree on repeating our mistakes!

[@cjw8497]

Love your videos. I have been reading Plotinus and his treatises on Plationism make way more sense to me than what I know about christianity.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Appreciate that my friend. Hoping to make some videos on Plotinus and Neo-platonism real soon!

[@Flammenhagel]

would you be up to debate infrared on this?

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Hi not sure what you mean by infrared? I can't do live debates at the moment I'm afraid but may well be open to it in future as time allows.

[@Flammenhagel]

@@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 he's a youtuber who does debates, he's very pro traditionalism and abrahamic religions, i always wanted to see him debate someone from the pagan side of history; you dont have to show your face to debate him btw if thats whats holding you back

Defo! Thanks for watching. Another one out in a couple of days!

Waiting for the flat earth argument by cosmas.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thx I've got a few more videos coming before that so it should be out in November with a bit of luck :)

[@Poperconus]

I love your videos keep going sir

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thanks, will do! One coming up this week on the religious policies of the Vandals. Hope its of interest

[@jerrycruitt5375]

Your habit of returning thanks is a rare one, and appears a quality of lost noblesse oblige. Great material and excellent rapid style. I like to think I'm articulate, but if I tried to read through your vignette at a similar fashion I would sound like I guzzled a pint of whiskey. Maybe I'll give it a try. Great job as usual.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Love to read the comments! Genuinely appreciate folks taking their (valuable) time to watch the videos. Ha ha whiskey - you get better at speaking in videos as you go along - believe me - give it a try!

[@henkstersmacro-world]

👍👍👍as always!!

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thx my friend!

[@dylantyt6654]

GO COSMAS!!

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

For travelling certainly. It would have been nice to have more detailed accounts of his journeys. not so sure of his religious views.

[@sarahsarah2534]

These videos are not only informative but also hilarious. Great job at showcasing the hopelessly ridiculous original Christian thinking. Hope to see more.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thanks for watching! More in the pipeline.

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

Modern Christian thinking is 100X worse. The Kosher Mind Virus that is buried in the Bible finally came out in the 1960's and Judaized Christianity. The faith is not only worthless but toxic now.

[@hedgiecc]

That was amazing, not heard of Cosmas before. Such an irony that a world traveller could make up this nonsense in favour of a flat earth.

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Will be doing more on Cosmas shortly. He is one of few early Byzantine period writers from Egypt whose works still survive

[@meduseld6610]

Thank you for your work. I greatly appreciate each upload

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thank you for watching!

[@ready1fire1aim1]

I'm thoroughly convinced the true Old Testament is the Samaritan Pentateuch and the true Book of Joshua is the Samaritan Book of Joshua. I'm reading them side-by-side and the Masoretic Text is contradictory, mean-spirited nonsense. Bleh.

[@matthewperry5121]

More volume

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thx - didn’t realise it was still low! I’ll sort that out.

[@md_f_dnn]

Something I thought you might find interesting, apparently archbishop wulfstan II of york wrote a polemical called "De Falsis Diis" (On False Gods) and he talks about what the Danes think about their pantheon of Gods, to the Roman one, here's what he described: “A certain man also was called Mercurius in life, who was very deceitful and nevertheless full of thoughtful cunning in deeds and deceptions. This the heathens also made to be their great god for themselves, and offered him sacrifice at crossroads often and frequently through the devil’s teaching, and brought various praise-gifts (offerings) for him to high mountains. This false god was also honoured among all heathens in those days, and he is called Odin by other name in Danish manner. Now some Danish men say in their error that it was Jove, who was called Thor, Mercury’s son, that they called Odin, but they do not have that correct, because we read in books, both heathen and Christian, that he who was called Jove in truth is Saturn’s son.” [Translation as presented by H.M. Aho]

[@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361]

Thx for that Sir! Interesting. I'll going to have to check out 'On False Gods'
