The Thirty Years' War shaped the European culture more than any other event in the past 1000 years. It was a religious war fought between Catholic adherents of the Pope and Protestant religious reformers.
Thirty Years' War devastated huge areas of Europe, and left millions of people dead, many more displaced, many dispossessed. Entire towns disappeared. Entire provinces were depopulated, It is believed to be the longest continuous fighting war ever.
The Thirty Years War was a devastating conflict between 1618 and 1648 that involved all of the major powers of Europe. The crux of the war centered on religious differences between Catholics and Protestants, but each nation that entered the war had different agenda.
The Catholic Habsburgs was the strongest family in Europe. Protestants and non-Habsburgs were jealous of their power and wished reduce it. Germany at this time was a loose affiliation of religiously diverse states known as the Holy Roman Empire. When the Habsburg emperor wished to impose religious uniformity, the Protestants and their allies went to war. During the war some German states joined a union of Protestants, and others remained allied to the Habsburg Holy Roman Emperor. Thus, most of the fighting took place in Germany.
France and Sweden entered the war against the Habsburgs, who controlled Austria, some of Germany, and Spain. The Habsburgs also had Italian allies. At first the parties were evenly matched. The war went on for years. Funding and feeding armies was difficult before the modern era, and the fighting severely drained Germany of its resources.
Eventually France and Sweden emerged as the slightly more powerful alliance and a series of peace treaties ended the war with Germany in ashes. The authority of the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburgs was severely curtailed. The Netherlands became independent of Spain. France and Sweden became the dominant powers of Europe.
womaniser: I kind of agree with you. There was an amateur video I watched at the burial of a fervent pastor, not a popular church though.
Immediately after laying in the coffin, a halo like the third picture appeared in the sky accompanied with noise like many birds singing filled the sky. I can't forget that video. The people looked up and started shouting hallelujah.
HISSCRIBE1995: What did you read about there if it wasn't about murder ? Even the link stated it clearly -stop being bias with your thoughts . Don't just seek to condemned whatever I said without thinking about it .
People who bias are never going to reach the truth of a matter unless they change .
The songs they were “inspired” with has NOTHING TO DO WITH MURDER. Why not screenshot it where it was stated clearly.
So it seems any kind of music can influence murder huh?
people who can’t think for themselves think they are saying the truth
“Claimed” “allegedly”. None of what you posted said they were inspired by song to commit murder, even the songs had nothing to do with murder. So it seems any kind of music can influence murder huh?
Kasssandra: I understood you, and I am telling you that a good number are going to be bitter and vile about it. And I have even given you the historical background as to why.
We can agree to disagree here.
When “are they going to be bitter and vile”? We have to wait
Kasssandra: Actually, many South Africans are not too fond of the UK
1.Afrikanners...white SA's of Dutch descent don't like her. Not only did the British empire take away their independence, but the Boer wars were notable for atrocities committed by British troops. Many still remember.
2.Black South Africans too have angry memories. Empires like the Zulu empire were forcefully conquered by the British people.
On SA reddit, there was a thread about the death of QEII. A moderator there posted a warning that anyone posting vile comments would be banned, so the thread naturally was muted. Didn't stop some sly jokes tho...
Please read slowly. Even South Africans are not that bitter and vile about her death.
HISSCRIBE1995: Have you not seen where people fornicate after listening to immoral songs ?
Have you not heard that many of those who masturbate does that after watching pornographic videos ,or after reading porn stories ?
Have you not consider why you sometimes move you body towards the Rhythm of some music even if you don't like the lyrics ?
Songs are have high capabilities to inspire a whole generation to be conform into a certain culture or way of life .
Music changes the perception of the atmosphere because sounds attracts spirits . That is why you feel different when you listen to different songs with different sounds . It almost has if you could literally taste them .
That is why You would sometimes say " this song sweet ,the other one no sweet" because your emotion and minds are been communicated to by those things you listen to and they influence your life unconsciously . They influence your utterance unconsciously And through you words influence your life .
The things you look at and the things you give your ears to influences your personality ,and contribute in shaping your life .
Porn videos and porn stories what has that got to do with a lyric in a song?
How many criminals have been arrested saying they got inspired by a song. They were medical doctors but after hearing the song they decided to be robbers bwahahahah.
People dance to beats in a song, not lyrics. People also dance to claps and whistles. People have opinions about songs just like they have opinions about other things even cartoons. May religion not make us dumb!
HISSCRIBE1995: Those who carried out the owl attack got the inspiration to carry out havoc from somewhere else . And that song has the potential to influence others towards such path in the future .
I don't know how you came to the conclusion that I'd done nothing in reference to the owo attack .
If you think it's a misplace priority for me to create such a topic then I wonder if you have burdens for the church if you're a Christian . Maybe you are not ,or maybe you're just one of those who makes the number count .
If you are a Christian I would advice you to check your relationship with Christ and see if you are still in faith .
I judge no one but God himself Judges all things . This is only an admonition .
You will listen to a song, and the lyrics will make you go burn a church, just like that? Bwahahahah
SisterFire: ...If u have an atom of brain you will know ur comments reeks of stupidity n selfishness ,fools are those who claim wise when they say " we have rights to choose opinions, we have rights to support Mr president on how he massacred market women in the region we hate" these fools are always Religious who never love humanity nor understand karma .

SisterFire: ...Yes we are listening to it a d it's pararrelity but mind u Mr tribalist parallel injustice shall be meted on u in this life and after death , then back to life and you shall remember how you hated people treated bad from history out of jealousy .
Listen to your own advice, are you also not hating and professing doom to those that don’t align with your opinions, are you that hurt?
Apart from lacking comprehension, the tanakh you borrowed from Judaism is what? Non fictional?Bwahahahah
Sixfiguresmart: So, the quran is now a fictional book, is that your insinuation? Wasn't it supposed to be the guide of man? Are you asserting that a reader of the quran should Think and not submit, since Islam is submission?
You have zero integrity, answer your lies Christian!
Sixfiguresmart: Very good. So, do you accept that allah is polytheistic or not?
Why is this so hard to answer since yesterday, did you lie to market your religion or you didn’t think before saying it?
What’s the verse where adam fell from heaven in islam and also the verse where “adam was created here” in judaism What’s the verse where ONLY Christians and jews are called “infedels”, what are worshippers of other religions called?
Aaronsrod: We should be alarmed. It is a sign from God. He will not destroy the world by flood but he will send Jesus from the sky to kill the bad people by fire with a sword this time.
You’ve forgotten both you and Muslims worship Abrahamaic gods, and your creation story is the same because it was copied from tanakh WORD FOR WORD.
Gen. 1 Verses 26 [26] And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
what’s the verse where adam fell from heaven in islam and also the verse where “adam was created here” in judaism What’s the verse where ONLY Christians and jews are called “infedels”, what are worshippers of other religions called?
Sixfiguresmart: surah 56:59 Do you create a child out of it, or are We its creator[b]s[/b]?
So, "they", Allah, the creatorS, create children out of emitted sperm.
Is this true?
I do not have any interest here but I am giving those guys weapons to debunk all your nuisance. I am posting all these stuff here for record keeping for the men who know nothing about Islam. I want them to read these and have solid responses to you. I told you that you are hemorrhaging already. Look at all the materials that you have to overhaul lately. This is just the beginning. I will be dropping this one by one. You master has suddenly gone on vacation. He felt that I was like the others who do not understand Arabic and you can fool with context.
I will be unpacking everything here on nairaland. One by one.
were you lying earlier if not what’s the verse where adam fell from heaven in islam and also the verse where “adam was created here” in judaism What’s the verse where ONLY Christians and jews are called “infedels”, what are worshippers of other religions called? Shameless lying Christian!
Sixfiguresmart: surah 56:59 Do you create a child out of it, or are We its creator[b]s[/b]?
So, "they", Allah, the creatorS, create children out of emitted sperm.
Since you have substance, back up your OWN claim. Shamless lying Christian.
what’s the verse where adam fell from heaven in islam and also the verse where “adam was created here” in judaism What’s the verse where ONLY Christians and jews are called “infedels”, what are worshippers of other religions called?
Sixfiguresmart: YOU LACK SUBSTANCE. I AM NOT YOUR CLASS. Go to the majlis for education. I cannot be distracted. I am very sound in reasoning. I know where I am heading. You are too little to detract me.
Surah 56 vs 57 It is We Who created you. Will you not then believe ˹in resurrection˺? Surah 56 vs 57 We have created you, then why would you not confirm it? (why do Muslims find it hard to confirm it for them?)
Surah 56:64 Is it you or We Who make them grow?
surah 56:61 Had We so wished, nothing could have hindered Us from replacing you by others like yourselves, or transforming you into beings you know nothing about.
surah 56:64 Is it you or We Who make them grow?
surah 56:60 It is We Who ordained death upon you and We are not to be frustrated.
surah 56:72 Did you make its tree grow or was it We Who made it grow?
Since the creator of man is WE, and he described himself as CreatorS in the noble quran, is it now safe to refer to Allah as THEY? Recall that he asked Muslims to CONFIRM IT. Do you confirm it?
