While it’s true, the writers of the show do you come from Jewish backgrounds, they actually have renounced religion. which means despite being raised in Jewish families they now look at their own religion, as well as all religions as stupid and let alone. Don’t believe there is an afterlife. The show is made of anti-religious sentiment.
@@MrTerry You know what’s worst Mr Terry? Stewie’s grandmother Barbara is Jewish his mother Lois is half Jewish Stewie and his sister Meg and his brother Chris are quarter Jewish
honestly mr terry is the definition of a lawful good character. He's wanting to share his knowledge of history with the world, he will go into iffy area's (e.g. family guy) if it means sharing more knowledge
Actually, I view that as being more Chaotic Good. Remember, the Lawful Good usually strives to obey the laws, which would include being politically correct. Family Guy doesn't care who it offends and definitely doesn't care about being politically correct. A Chaotic Good does what is best for as many as possible and tends to say 'Fuck the law, this is what these people need.'.
@@Razmoudah actually lawful doesn't mean following the law of the country it is more following a code of law you set for yourself. So Terry follows his law of sharing history wherever he can
@@SuperLb14 That's not the 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons definition of Lawful Good, and I go by those definitions of the alignments. Further, in the 3rd Edition D&D rule-set a Chaotic alignment is perfectly capable of strictly following their own code, it just tends to be fairly simple and they don't care about it being in conflict with the laws and rules of society. In addition, that rule-set defines a Lawful alignment as always following the laws and rules of society, although they can be bent towards ones own purposes so long as they aren't broken, with the ONLY exception being for those who are in the service of a deity (aka. Clerics, Paladins, and the like). That's why there are nine alignments, from Lawful Good to Chaotic Good to Lawful Evil to Chaotic Evil. Now, as I'm only passingly familiar with 4th Edition rules, and have even less familiarity with 5th Edition rules, it is entirely possible that Wizards of the Coast has changed the definitions of the alignments in them. Actually, they would've had to as I do know that 4th Edition does not have Chaotic Good nor Lawful Evil as they tried to say that those alignments were self-contradictory in nature. Really, it just seems to me like the people who created the 4th Edition rule books couldn't be bothered to thoroughly read through the 3rd Edition rule books and decided to get rid of the two alignments that seemed the most prone to exploiting loopholes to 'make things easier'. Considering the number of other things that they broke in the name of 'fairness' it seems very likely.
@@Razmoudah tl:dr guy gets pedantic to explain dungeon and dragon rules while admitting he doesn’t know the current edition rules while completely ignoring a woman’s point. Good job.
@@Daxum83 So, you think it makes more sense to call him Lawful Good than Chaotic Good or Neutral Good? No wonder society is going to crap. I go by the 3rd Edition alignments because they actually make sense.

I'll never forget how my old history teacher began his class about Joseph Smith and Mormonism. He played that one South Park episode and left the room for 30 minutes.
Saint Nicholas, the inspiration for Santa Claus, lived in the city of Myra in modern day Turkey. He lived some time around 270 AD to 340 AD, when the Roman Empire was still around, and was of Greek descent. The Turkic migration into Anatolia started about 500 years later. So while Santa technically lived in Turkey, he wasn't Turkish.
@@jader838 yes, with the wrath of God, the same kind of anger that is used by Jesus when the Jews were using the temple as a con store and he upended all their tables and called it a den of thieves. Righteous anger. Just saying. He was a really awesome saint.
Joseph Smith also claimed to have encountered both God and Jesus, although he gave three different accounts of that story. Because apparently, meeting God or Jesus isn't that memorable.

The snake bit is interesting because is based in a religious group that did though that faith alone will keep you safe from a snake and therefore used snakes in his religious practices.

Going a little bit out of your comfort zone is the only way we can break barriers and gain any true mutual understandings. My father’s favorite dad joke goes like this: (for ref. We’re American and in the SE USA) “A Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim, a Hebrew, and an Athiest walk into a coffee shop. They all order their coffee, sit down, and have a pleasant conversation.”
"Then the christian found out that the last person was an atheist and shot him for not believing." (You don't capitalize atheist, it's not a religion.)

@@scottlemiere2024 Funny how you single out the Christians for getting violent towards non-believers in this hypothetical scenario, when we both know full well who would be far more likely to do something like that among the listed religions...
22:39 No, Santa was originally Odin. If you look up depictions of Pre-Coke (Coke designed modern fat Santa) Santa is almost identical to Odin's grey wanderer form. Saint Nicolas's story was a separate legend that got merged with the tradition that Odin would bring treats to good children and fill their shoes left outside with them, while bad children got a shoe full of rocks.
We had a teacher like Mr Terry and school his name was Mr Welch he taught I believe science don't really remember but he told us evolution is just essentially people haven't retarded children and the retard children getting to live and that we are the 185th generation of retarded monkeys and that dear children is something to be proud of
Regarding how atheists used to be treated, the first example that came to mind was the case of Kazimierz Łyszczyński, a Polish nobleman sentenced to death in 1689. He wrote a pamphlet titled "De non existentia Dei" where, among other things, he wrote "Religion was established by people without religion to be worshipped, although there is no God. Holiness was introduced by the godless. Fear of God is spread by the fearless for the purpose of being feared. (...) The simple people are deceived by the wiser with the invention of faith in God for their oppression". He was beheaded and then his body was created. Of course, you could say he was unlucky because he came out during Counter-Reformation, so the church was a lot more eager to get violent. Ironically, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was actually fairly tolerant - Warsaw Confederation of 1573 established religious freedom. Of course, that act was ratified over 100 years before the execution of Łyszczyński and quite a lot changed in that time frame.
Atheism was punishable by death in ancient greece already. For most of history theists have killed atheists because they knew the questions they ask are a threat to the system they draw their power from.
22:35 im pretty sure that Santa Claus in the Orthodox Church is Saint Basil (Άγιος Βασίλειος), the myths of giving gifts and helping the poor were from stories from the Byzantine Empire. He was an Episcope of Kayseri (Καισάρεια, in Capadocia, modern day Turkey.
@@GreekPele As I said he was Byzantine (Greek). I never said he was Turkish, just that Kayseri is in modern day Turkey and that it is a common mistake to say that.
the name is directly derived from st.nikolaus of myra, which is todays Demre in turkey. he is patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, unmarried people, and students
Santa Clause Flies around in December for Christmas to bring gifts to good children. Has eight reindeer pulling his sleigh. Is the most visually iconic figure of Christmas, symbolizing giving, joy, and peace. Before Coca-Cola popularized the jolly, jiggly Santa we all know today, Santa was depicted thin as often as chubby, and usually donned brown, blue, or red robes. Has elves who make toys for children. Sometimes referred to as Father Christmas. Odin the Allfather Flew around in December for Yuletide to head off the Wild Hunt. He knew who had been bad and good and hunted down or abducted those who deserved it. Had an eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, that pulled his sleigh. Was the most iconic figure of Yuletide, a holiday that celebrated hospitality, feasting, and gift-giving. Is often depicted wearing either blue or brown robes. Elves and dwarves (Christmas elves seem to be an amalgamation of the two) originate from Norse Mythology and are known as amazing creators. Was referred to as Yule Father.
22:45 ok, so one of the the inspirations of santa klaus is saint nicholas who originally came from turkey. he was a patron saint of sailors and shipping and such. one of the stories is that he gave money to a to a man who had fallen in love with a woman but was unable to marry her since he didnt have a dowry so saint nicholas climbed on the roof of the mans house and literally dropped a sack of money down the chimney. in other versions he hired some moors to do it for him, but historically thats difficult since they might not have been hired, but they might have been slaves. yes, i am dutch before you ask
@@Longshanks1690 well, yes, he was born in myra, which then was greek and now is in turkey. turkey didnt exist until the seljuks were uniteds by the ottomans, but that doesnt help to explain to people now where he came from.
@Špagin yeah, and most people know where that is? again, I'm trying to explain this to a majority audience. though given the audience of this channel, might have been not necessary, it seems
Santa originated in Scandinavia and northern Europe. He was Odin. The eight reindeer are akin to his 8 legged horse. The red and white suit comes from the mushrooms the reindeer eat, which cause delirium (same for people). The Scopes trial happened in Dayton, Tennessee, not far from where I currently live.
One correction: the Sepoys were given the Enfield Pattern 1853. The Lee-Enfield named rifles first entered service in 1895. The Lee part came from Lee-Metford, of which the Lee-Enfield was a redesign.

As a 24yr Male, and history buff; i really enjoy your channel. Im sure others my age do as well. You often touch on subjects i have no information on, and have never heard of.

It's so lovely to watch a teachers reaction because as much as you know a lot you will always learn something knew. I never knew momon believe started that long time ago
as far as im aware its never actually been proven that there was pork or beef fat used on the cartridges and is stated as a rumor that spread among the soldiers, it was usually lambs fat that was used, but after the rumor spread the officers said they could use butter or vegetable oil instead if it made them feel better, but it just made the rumors worse.

19:40 - the reincarnation caste system is the equivalence of being in hell. The point of each new birth is to obtain eternal peace and enter Nirvana (aka Heaven), though you have to live a life of pure peace with no memory of the previous life to help you.
Fun theory; part of the reason certain foods like pork, shellfish, ect. were banned by religious institutions was because it was hard to cook properly and if you didn’t do it right you would get sick from food poisoning, which up to 120+ years ago could have very easily a death sentence. The other thing as well is that some cannibal tribes have described the taste and texture of human flesh to be extremely similar to lean pork, so its possible that some religious institutions banned eating pork to discourage cannibalism.
No, that’s actually what anti-religious idiots believe. The creator of the show along with all his staff are anti-religious. They follow left-wing policies, but literally curse anybody that believes in god

Interesting point about the Abraham and Isaac skit. While it’s fun and funny to believe Isaac had no idea, the way the story is written actually infers that Isaac not only knew, but was a willing participant. The only counter to this is Isaac asking, “where is the offering?“ Abraham was already a very old man when this story is being told. Isaac is a young man who is very strong. In other words, Abraham’s not about to overpower his son. Even more, the way the story is told and written, Abraham had complete confidence that he would not lose Isaac. It’s actually the whole point of the story. Abraham has waited his entire life for a son born of his wife, Sarah. And now that he has one, God is asking him to sacrifice. Abraham’s willingness to do so shows his absolute trust in God and God‘s faithfulness to his promises. God promised Abraham his descendants would be uncountable as the stars in the sky or the grains of sand on the shore. Abraham knew that if Isaac died, God would raise him from the or replace him with another son. Isaac’s demeanor in the story implies he either knew or was willing to trust his father and the God of his father, thus showing that Abraham’s faithfulness and trust was passed down to his son, something that’s very important to any religious culture, but especially Judaism and Christianity. It’s also a typological event, in its entirety, to the death of Christ. The Father leads his Son to the top of a hill where the Son, fully trusting in his Father, lays himself down willingly to be sacrificed.
20:00 is not actually incorrect on Catholic beliefs on salvation. Both Protestants and Catholics are very similar on views of salvation. The biggest difference between Protestants and Catholics is that the Catholic Church makes a distinction between initial justification and continuous justification, whereas in Protestantism it is a one time event. Martin Luther’s “Sola Fide” would be correct in the Catholic view if it describes initial justification
Actually, I think the origins of Santa were Norse. I think there was a tradition where it was believed that Odin would give gifts to people during the Yule festival.
The bit on Santa being Muslim: There is indeed a connection there. Though, it depends on how you take this, if you take Saint Nicolaus (who has his own holiday on 6th of decembre here in Germany) as the same person as Santa Claus, then yes, Saint Nicolaus was a bishop and originated from (todays) Turkey (Or Turkiye, they have something going on with their official english name but I don't know details.)
I mean if you want to get technical Noah and his three sons built the ark and God just kind of let all the animals come to him it wasn't like he was wrangling them with a rope or anything Brian makes it sound a lot harder than it technically would have been
I don't think the Bible is meant to be taken at face value. Sorry Protestants, but we're going to have to disagree on that. The Old Testament, as implied, is a romanticized testament of what happened to the locals at the time, and how they thoroughly crafted a moral framework based of monotheism. The New Testament is the next stepping stone, breaking off from concepts like "an-eye-for-an-eye" (Talion law) and separating faith & state (give to Ceasar his due, give to God his due).
Any time I hear the name Judas, I always think of _The Cat in the Hat,_ where Lawrence says “Judas Priest” (the name of a band) as a euphemism for Jesus Christ. And for those wondering where the band got their name, it’s in reference to a song by Bob Dylan, which uses a character by that name as an allegory for Judas betraying Jesus.
22:30 you are right mr.terry, it is believed that santa claus or st. nicholas is from antalya, a southern city of turkey antalya is also a touristic paradise, you should see it
22:41 He lived in a place called Myra in what was then the Eastern side of the Roman Empire, and that later became the Byzantine Empire. Turkey, and the its former version the Ottoman Empire wasn't around yet. Myra currently sits in what is now Turkey. Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas of Myra, is a descendant of an old Greek family that colonized that area along with other Greeks in the sixth century BC. When Nicholas was born, his family had been living there and slowly growing a vast fortune over the course of literally a thousand years. During his time as bishop, he attended the Council of Nicea during the reign of Constantine the Great. Nicholas learned to become a priest at the diocese and university of Alexandria in Egypt. He was a tad shorter than average, yet had a strong and stocky body from swimming and exercising, both popular trends in Greek settlements near the water. Due to a series of unfortunate events, Nicholas became the last living member of his family and inherited the vast fortune around the time he took a vow of poverty and became a bishop of Myra. As a result, he was very generous with his money and often donated to the poor. Due to his position and various legal reasons, he couldn't just out right give money. So he came up with different ways like sneaking into other people's homes and dropping some money,, donating for the construction of civil works, and even creating a new form of business where he would buy other people's old stuff and then resell it. He did so while intentionally losing money, and people knew his store by his family coat of arms from his old Greek mercantile family showing a blunted trident of Poseidon upside down to indicate peace and merchants. To this day the business type he created still exists and is known as a pawn shop, which still uses his coat of arms. In one fun story where he tried to sneak into another person's home to give money so that the father may marry off his daughters with a dowry, first time he went through the door. The father then locked the doors, so Nicholas went through the windows the second time. The father then locked the doors, windows, and also the latch on the roof. When Nicholas came a third time, he saw that the only opening was down a small chimney with a fire going on as the third and last daughter was drying clothes. If the gold landed in the fire, it would melt and become useless. So Nicholas did a prayer and dropped the bag down the chimney. The morning after the father noted no bag this time and was thinking the bishop would have to visit him directly if Nicholas wanted to give money. While thinking that, the daughter was unclipping the clothes that was hanging on the mantle over the fireplace. When she got to one of the socks hanging high above the fireplace, it promptly dropped to the ground and spread coins all on the ground. Somehow the bag not only missed the fire, but somehow went up and above the mantle and into the stocking without the stocking dropping from the weight of the gold. It is from that story and miracle of Nicholas that the practice of hanging stockings over the fireplace became a tradition.
22:30. In the most parts of Europe we celebrate st Nicolaas ( sorry I don’t know his Engels name ). He is from Turkey. I don’t know if Santa Claus is from Turkey as well but I think you mixed those two up. Edit: spelling

In regards to Santa Claus/Old Saint Nick he originated in Patara modern day Turkey in the third century though the Turks only migrated there in the 10th and 11th century if memory serves me well so was was most likely Greek or native Anatolian(also fun fact the origins behind him being called Santa claus is due to his name in Dutch sounding like it and then Americans sing sounds like Santa Claus)
22:43 i think you are thinking about saint nicolas, we in belgium and the netherlands have a holiday called sinterklaas and this person is seposed to be a saint nicolas but sinterklaas gives present to kids that are good and we tell kids that have been naughty the will be taken back to spain with sinterklaas so you could say that sinterklaas is a sort of early christmas. But i think in europe santa claus ( de kerstman in dutch ) has a whole different story to it but i'm not sure
I didn't know Walt Disney, although I keep hearing he was an antisemite. That being said, I don't recall seeing any antisemitic content in any of his films. It is possible that he had a resentment of union organizers, some of whom were Jewish, when a strike was called at his animation studio. Many Jews worked for Disney, including his favorite composers -.the Sherman brothers.
two corrections ; firstly the new cartridges for the Enfield rifles were not made of pork or beef grease... initial production had been, but it was immediately changed before issue to Indian troops. by this time The British East India Company had been employing Sepoys for over 100 years and were fully aware of religious taboos. the rumour however was spread and created the Mutiny of 1857.. the mutiny was largely confined though and was not a national uprising - India was not exactly a country in those days but had been regions in the Moghul Empire with mostly Hindu, but also sizeable Sikh and Muslim areas. the mutiny was suppressed by the Company and British govt troops. afterwards a Royal Commission decided the company would be wound up and India became a Crown Colony. second; Santa Claus was not Turkish.. the original Saint Nicholas was a Byzantine.. the Turks would not arrive for many centuries and it would only be with the capture of Constantinople in the 15th century that a "Turkey" would exist, within the Ottoman Empire.
I know historically atheists haven't been treated particularly well. There are multiple religions/ sects that will shun those that no longer believe. Even some states today technically have laws in the books that ban atheists from running for office. Sure, they likely wouldn't be legally binding but they're still there. I'm less familiar with the treatment throughout history though. I know many religions, especially the Abrahamic ones generally don't look kindly on non-believers. I remember seeing some Pew polls before, the most recent I remember seeing is in 2019 where the 'trustworthiness' or 'warm feelings' toward atheists were about on par with Muslims. In the past I remember it being down even more.
As a historian, you should know that being anti-semitic is not just being anti-jewish. Hebrew is a Semitic language. So are Arabic and Aramaic. Hebrew and Arabic are the last 2 surviving Semitic languages. Therefore, when someone says anti-semitic, they're technically saying anti-jewish, anti-arabic and anti-aramaic.
The Oxford Dictonary defines antisemitism as prejudice against the jews. Hitler welcomed the support of the Arab countries which supported his anti-jewish policies.
While it's true that Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic are Semitic languages, the term anti-Semitic historically and specifically refers to prejudice, discrimination, or hostility toward Jewish people, not Arabs or speakers of Aramaic. The term was coined in the 19th century by Wilhelm Marr, who used it to describe anti-Jewish sentiments. Although the word "Semitic" can technically apply to a linguistic group that includes Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic, the focus of "anti-Semitism" is predominantly on the Jewish community.

As someone who grew up as a Jehovas Witness (tho never baptised) and who still have family that is part of that view point, I find that monkey joke hilarious!😂 My mom became a witness in her fourties and before that she was a weed-smoking swedish hippie who among other things took her van to Goa in india because reasons and just lived life.

7:05 I know fact-checking a comedy show is a bit odd, but the list of verses they cite where the christian/jewish god is misleading. I checked all citations, and many of them do not support their claim, even though some do. There is even a duplicate in there (psalm 137:9). There are indeed some verses where god explicitly kills children, commands to kill children, or condones/praises the killing of children. Most of these verses are in the front half of their list. Many other verses merely mention the killing of children, or people in the narrative are about to kill children, and god intervenes/does not approve of it. Some verses even have nothing to with killing children, for example proverbs 18:19 (NKJV): "Chasten your son while there is still hope, And do not set your heart on his destruction [lit. to put him to death]". This scene is a great teachable moment, especially for a history teacher, to teach about the importance of checking sources, and the intentions of the creators using a gish-gallop of verses to lend credibility to their argument, even though their sources are mostly unsupportive of their claim. (and ib4 people claim I'm just a christian trying to defend atrocities in the bible, I'm an atheist. There are many immoral acts committed by god or other characters in the bible, I just think we shouldn't resort to misleading and untrue arguments to criticize it, there are enough in plain sight)

Dum dum dum dum dum 🎶
one of SP's all time best episodes.
Saint Nicholas, the inspiration for Santa Claus, lived in the city of Myra in modern day Turkey. He lived some time around 270 AD to 340 AD, when the Roman Empire was still around, and was of Greek descent. The Turkic migration into Anatolia started about 500 years later.
So while Santa technically lived in Turkey, he wasn't Turkish.
The character of Santa Claus has almost nothing to do with the third century bishop
Saint Nick is also known for allegedly punching an Arian heretic.
@@jader838 yes, with the wrath of God, the same kind of anger that is used by Jesus when the Jews were using the temple as a con store and he upended all their tables and called it a den of thieves. Righteous anger. Just saying. He was a really awesome saint.

Yes, but mainly taken by "Santa Claus", that's the Dutch version of San Nicola, or Saint Nikolau, that was an historical figure.
Not exactly the Man in flesh did exist but the folk tales and sainthood were spun around him
22:39 No, Santa was originally Odin. If you look up depictions of Pre-Coke (Coke designed modern fat Santa) Santa is almost identical to Odin's grey wanderer form. Saint Nicolas's story was a separate legend that got merged with the tradition that Odin would bring treats to good children and fill their shoes left outside with them, while bad children got a shoe full of rocks.
Don't forget the Celtic Green man who's early depictions resample Santa too.

21:59 Atheist was originally the Greek term for someone who didn't believe in the local patron Diety.
Or something like that. Its been awhile...
Regarding how atheists used to be treated, the first example that came to mind was the case of Kazimierz Łyszczyński, a Polish nobleman sentenced to death in 1689. He wrote a pamphlet titled "De non existentia Dei" where, among other things, he wrote "Religion was established by people without religion to be worshipped, although there is no God. Holiness was introduced by the godless. Fear of God is spread by the fearless for the purpose of being feared. (...) The simple people are deceived by the wiser with the invention of faith in God for their oppression".
He was beheaded and then his body was created. Of course, you could say he was unlucky because he came out during Counter-Reformation, so the church was a lot more eager to get violent. Ironically, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was actually fairly tolerant - Warsaw Confederation of 1573 established religious freedom. Of course, that act was ratified over 100 years before the execution of Łyszczyński and quite a lot changed in that time frame.
I love studying Polish history.

There seem to be quite a few comments appreciating that clarification 👍
22:35 im pretty sure that Santa Claus in the Orthodox Church is Saint Basil (Άγιος Βασίλειος), the myths of giving gifts and helping the poor were from stories from the Byzantine Empire. He was an Episcope of Kayseri (Καισάρεια, in Capadocia, modern day Turkey.
How can he be Turkish but have a greek name? Those 2 languages aren’t even close to the same.
@@GreekPele As I said he was Byzantine (Greek). I never said he was Turkish, just that Kayseri is in modern day Turkey and that it is a common mistake to say that.
@@tyrantphotius_7948 ah got ya
the name is directly derived from st.nikolaus of myra, which is todays Demre in turkey. he is patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, unmarried people, and students
Santa Clause
Flies around in December for Christmas to bring gifts to good children.
Has eight reindeer pulling his sleigh.
Is the most visually iconic figure of Christmas, symbolizing giving, joy, and peace.
Before Coca-Cola popularized the jolly, jiggly Santa we all know today, Santa was depicted thin as often as chubby, and usually donned brown, blue, or red robes.
Has elves who make toys for children.
Sometimes referred to as Father Christmas.
Odin the Allfather
Flew around in December for Yuletide to head off the Wild Hunt. He knew who had been bad and good and hunted down or abducted those who deserved it.
Had an eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, that pulled his sleigh.
Was the most iconic figure of Yuletide, a holiday that celebrated hospitality, feasting, and gift-giving.
Is often depicted wearing either blue or brown robes.
Elves and dwarves (Christmas elves seem to be an amalgamation of the two) originate from Norse Mythology and are known as amazing creators.
Was referred to as Yule Father.

ok, so one of the the inspirations of santa klaus is saint nicholas who originally came from turkey. he was a patron saint of sailors and shipping and such.
one of the stories is that he gave money to a to a man who had fallen in love with a woman but was unable to marry her since he didnt have a dowry
so saint nicholas climbed on the roof of the mans house and literally dropped a sack of money down the chimney. in other versions he hired some moors to do it for him, but historically thats difficult since they might not have been hired, but they might have been slaves. yes, i am dutch before you ask
Benjamin Britten wrote a cantata about the life of St. Nicolas, seemingly blending truth and legend.
He didn’t come from Turkey since the Turkish tribes hadn’t left Central Asia yet.
He was Greek by ethnicity and culture.
@@Longshanks1690 well, yes, he was born in myra, which then was greek and now is in turkey. turkey didnt exist until the seljuks were uniteds by the ottomans, but that doesnt help to explain to people now where he came from.
@Špagin yeah, and most people know where that is? again, I'm trying to explain this to a majority audience. though given the audience of this channel, might have been not necessary, it seems
Santa originated in Scandinavia and northern Europe. He was Odin. The eight reindeer are akin to his 8 legged horse. The red and white suit comes from the mushrooms the reindeer eat, which cause delirium (same for people).
The Scopes trial happened in Dayton, Tennessee, not far from where I currently live.
One correction: the Sepoys were given the Enfield Pattern 1853. The Lee-Enfield named rifles first entered service in 1895. The Lee part came from Lee-Metford, of which the Lee-Enfield was a redesign.
Not to mention that when the fighting started, the Sepoys were actually using the very same rifles that "started" the rebellion.

19:40 - the reincarnation caste system is the equivalence of being in hell. The point of each new birth is to obtain eternal peace and enter Nirvana (aka Heaven), though you have to live a life of pure peace with no memory of the previous life to help you.
Fun theory; part of the reason certain foods like pork, shellfish, ect. were banned by religious institutions was because it was hard to cook properly and if you didn’t do it right you would get sick from food poisoning, which up to 120+ years ago could have very easily a death sentence. The other thing as well is that some cannibal tribes have described the taste and texture of human flesh to be extremely similar to lean pork, so its possible that some religious institutions banned eating pork to discourage cannibalism.
Afaik, Santa Claus is a Coca Cola Character, inspired from Saint Nicolaus who indeed lived in Turkey
If I remember right, Santa lived in the area we would call Turkey, but he was ethnically Greek. There was much more cross over before modern times.
To be fair, it's St. Nikolay or what you what call it St. Nicholas. Anyways, Coca Cola created the charachter of Santa Claus for commercial purposes.

What's hilarious is that Family Guy has a lot of Jewish writers writing the Jew jokes.
Interesting point about the Abraham and Isaac skit. While it’s fun and funny to believe Isaac had no idea, the way the story is written actually infers that Isaac not only knew, but was a willing participant. The only counter to this is Isaac asking, “where is the offering?“
Abraham was already a very old man when this story is being told. Isaac is a young man who is very strong. In other words, Abraham’s not about to overpower his son. Even more, the way the story is told and written, Abraham had complete confidence that he would not lose Isaac. It’s actually the whole point of the story. Abraham has waited his entire life for a son born of his wife, Sarah. And now that he has one, God is asking him to sacrifice. Abraham’s willingness to do so shows his absolute trust in God and God‘s faithfulness to his promises. God promised Abraham his descendants would be uncountable as the stars in the sky or the grains of sand on the shore. Abraham knew that if Isaac died, God would raise him from the or replace him with another son. Isaac’s demeanor in the story implies he either knew or was willing to trust his father and the God of his father, thus showing that Abraham’s faithfulness and trust was passed down to his son, something that’s very important to any religious culture, but especially Judaism and Christianity.
It’s also a typological event, in its entirety, to the death of Christ. The Father leads his Son to the top of a hill where the Son, fully trusting in his Father, lays himself down willingly to be sacrificed.
20:00 is not actually incorrect on Catholic beliefs on salvation. Both Protestants and Catholics are very similar on views of salvation. The biggest difference between Protestants and Catholics is that the Catholic Church makes a distinction between initial justification and continuous justification, whereas in Protestantism it is a one time event. Martin Luther’s “Sola Fide” would be correct in the Catholic view if it describes initial justification
Some time could you do some Mythology Guy videos? (I know it's more of a mythological thing as opposed to historical but it's still really funny)

The bit starting at 18:35 is a play on the idea that Jews answer a question with a question.
Actually, I think the origins of Santa were Norse. I think there was a tradition where it was believed that Odin would give gifts to people during the Yule festival.

@@Fast_Eddy_Magic Everything about "Christmas" is pagan. Even that "baby".
The Abraham and Isaac reference has me on life support😂
The bit on Santa being Muslim: There is indeed a connection there. Though, it depends on how you take this, if you take Saint Nicolaus (who has his own holiday on 6th of decembre here in Germany) as the same person as Santa Claus, then yes, Saint Nicolaus was a bishop and originated from (todays) Turkey (Or Turkiye, they have something going on with their official english name but I don't know details.)
Man i enjoy ur videos so much.
I mean if you want to get technical Noah and his three sons built the ark and God just kind of let all the animals come to him it wasn't like he was wrangling them with a rope or anything Brian makes it sound a lot harder than it technically would have been
There was no roping? That’s disappointing
I don't think the Bible is meant to be taken at face value. Sorry Protestants, but we're going to have to disagree on that.
The Old Testament, as implied, is a romanticized testament of what happened to the locals at the time, and how they thoroughly crafted a moral framework based of monotheism.
The New Testament is the next stepping stone, breaking off from concepts like "an-eye-for-an-eye" (Talion law) and separating faith & state (give to Ceasar his due, give to God his due).
18:40 - Judaism: you go nowhere, you live, you die, that's it.
Santa was originally from Asatruism from Norse culture. Actually he was a form of Odin in speculation
Any time I hear the name Judas, I always think of _The Cat in the Hat,_ where Lawrence says “Judas Priest” (the name of a band) as a euphemism for Jesus Christ.
And for those wondering where the band got their name, it’s in reference to a song by Bob Dylan, which uses a character by that name as an allegory for Judas betraying Jesus.

Never forget what the late, great George Carlin said; every joke needs an exaggeration. That's what makes Family Guy so hilarious.
22:41 He lived in a place called Myra in what was then the Eastern side of the Roman Empire, and that later became the Byzantine Empire. Turkey, and the its former version the Ottoman Empire wasn't around yet. Myra currently sits in what is now Turkey. Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas of Myra, is a descendant of an old Greek family that colonized that area along with other Greeks in the sixth century BC. When Nicholas was born, his family had been living there and slowly growing a vast fortune over the course of literally a thousand years. During his time as bishop, he attended the Council of Nicea during the reign of Constantine the Great. Nicholas learned to become a priest at the diocese and university of Alexandria in Egypt. He was a tad shorter than average, yet had a strong and stocky body from swimming and exercising, both popular trends in Greek settlements near the water.
Due to a series of unfortunate events, Nicholas became the last living member of his family and inherited the vast fortune around the time he took a vow of poverty and became a bishop of Myra. As a result, he was very generous with his money and often donated to the poor. Due to his position and various legal reasons, he couldn't just out right give money. So he came up with different ways like sneaking into other people's homes and dropping some money,, donating for the construction of civil works, and even creating a new form of business where he would buy other people's old stuff and then resell it. He did so while intentionally losing money, and people knew his store by his family coat of arms from his old Greek mercantile family showing a blunted trident of Poseidon upside down to indicate peace and merchants. To this day the business type he created still exists and is known as a pawn shop, which still uses his coat of arms.
In one fun story where he tried to sneak into another person's home to give money so that the father may marry off his daughters with a dowry, first time he went through the door. The father then locked the doors, so Nicholas went through the windows the second time. The father then locked the doors, windows, and also the latch on the roof. When Nicholas came a third time, he saw that the only opening was down a small chimney with a fire going on as the third and last daughter was drying clothes. If the gold landed in the fire, it would melt and become useless. So Nicholas did a prayer and dropped the bag down the chimney. The morning after the father noted no bag this time and was thinking the bishop would have to visit him directly if Nicholas wanted to give money. While thinking that, the daughter was unclipping the clothes that was hanging on the mantle over the fireplace. When she got to one of the socks hanging high above the fireplace, it promptly dropped to the ground and spread coins all on the ground. Somehow the bag not only missed the fire, but somehow went up and above the mantle and into the stocking without the stocking dropping from the weight of the gold. It is from that story and miracle of Nicholas that the practice of hanging stockings over the fireplace became a tradition.
22:30. In the most parts of Europe we celebrate st Nicolaas ( sorry I don’t know his Engels name ). He is from Turkey. I don’t know if Santa Claus is from Turkey as well but I think you mixed those two up.
Edit: spelling
It's the same guy
2:15 Wrong. Allow Cartman to correct him.
That ConEd bill thing had me curious and technically it existed before the church of LAtter Day Saints was founded, albeit not under the name ConEd, so it's not impossible in a weird way

In regards to Santa Claus/Old Saint Nick he originated in Patara modern day Turkey in the third century though the Turks only migrated there in the 10th and 11th century if memory serves me well so was was most likely Greek or native Anatolian(also fun fact the origins behind him being called Santa claus is due to his name in Dutch sounding like it and then Americans sing sounds like Santa Claus)

Mr. Terry: "There's a lot of anti-Semitism" .
Disney: "A new day, a new venture."
I didn't know Walt Disney, although I keep hearing he was an antisemite. That being said, I don't recall seeing any antisemitic content in any of his films. It is possible that he had a resentment of union organizers, some of whom were Jewish, when a strike was called at his animation studio. Many Jews worked for Disney, including his favorite composers -.the Sherman brothers.
two corrections ; firstly the new cartridges for the Enfield rifles were not made of pork or beef grease... initial production had been, but it was immediately changed before issue to Indian troops. by this time The British East India Company had been employing Sepoys for over 100 years and were fully aware of religious taboos. the rumour however was spread and created the Mutiny of 1857.. the mutiny was largely confined though and was not a national uprising - India was not exactly a country in those days but had been regions in the Moghul Empire with mostly Hindu, but also sizeable Sikh and Muslim areas. the mutiny was suppressed by the Company and British govt troops. afterwards a Royal Commission decided the company would be wound up and India became a Crown Colony. second; Santa Claus was not Turkish.. the original Saint Nicholas was a Byzantine.. the Turks would not arrive for many centuries and it would only be with the capture of Constantinople in the 15th century that a "Turkey" would exist, within the Ottoman Empire.

Funny addition to the LDS thing: Mitt Romney's family was one of the ones that went down swinging and left for Mexico to uphold bigamy.
I know historically atheists haven't been treated particularly well. There are multiple religions/ sects that will shun those that no longer believe. Even some states today technically have laws in the books that ban atheists from running for office. Sure, they likely wouldn't be legally binding but they're still there. I'm less familiar with the treatment throughout history though. I know many religions, especially the Abrahamic ones generally don't look kindly on non-believers.
I remember seeing some Pew polls before, the most recent I remember seeing is in 2019 where the 'trustworthiness' or 'warm feelings' toward atheists were about on par with Muslims. In the past I remember it being down even more.
As a historian, you should know that being anti-semitic is not just being anti-jewish. Hebrew is a Semitic language. So are Arabic and Aramaic. Hebrew and Arabic are the last 2 surviving Semitic languages. Therefore, when someone says anti-semitic, they're technically saying anti-jewish, anti-arabic and anti-aramaic.
The Oxford Dictonary defines antisemitism as prejudice against the jews. Hitler welcomed the support of the Arab countries which supported his anti-jewish policies.
While it's true that Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic are Semitic languages, the term anti-Semitic historically and specifically refers to prejudice, discrimination, or hostility toward Jewish people, not Arabs or speakers of Aramaic. The term was coined in the 19th century by Wilhelm Marr, who used it to describe anti-Jewish sentiments. Although the word "Semitic" can technically apply to a linguistic group that includes Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic, the focus of "anti-Semitism" is predominantly on the Jewish community.

However,in the Qur'an it's mentioned that that good people will end up in heaven like place with various pleasures like food and drinks also ( Hur ein) roughly translated into the beautiful eyed ones with no specific gender nor that they are virgins And definitely not to those who kill innocents. I can imagine tho some sects might twist that.
You know how they say: want to trick someone for some time? Tell a lie. Want to trick someone for all life? Twist the truth.

@TazerFnaf Santa Claus came from Saint Nicholas in Turkey
I learned a lot from watching this, many things I didn't know. Are you jewish? You laughed at almost all of the offensive jokes apart from the jewish ones
11:30 I think the main issue was really that Jewish monotheism (or monolatry at least) didn't allow for a central requirement of the Roman Empire, which was to celebrate the divinity of the emperor.
He actually got Buddhism mostly right
That Genie at the end was from the TV show "I dream of Jeanie" from the 1960s
as an ex-mormon the mormon things were pretty accurate
7:05 I know fact-checking a comedy show is a bit odd, but the list of verses they cite where the christian/jewish god is misleading. I checked all citations, and many of them do not support their claim, even though some do. There is even a duplicate in there (psalm 137:9).
There are indeed some verses where god explicitly kills children, commands to kill children, or condones/praises the killing of children. Most of these verses are in the front half of their list.
Many other verses merely mention the killing of children, or people in the narrative are about to kill children, and god intervenes/does not approve of it.
Some verses even have nothing to with killing children, for example proverbs 18:19 (NKJV): "Chasten your son while there is still hope, And do not set your heart on his destruction [lit. to put him to death]".
This scene is a great teachable moment, especially for a history teacher, to teach about the importance of checking sources, and the intentions of the creators using a gish-gallop of verses to lend credibility to their argument, even though their sources are mostly unsupportive of their claim.
(and ib4 people claim I'm just a christian trying to defend atrocities in the bible, I'm an atheist. There are many immoral acts committed by god or other characters in the bible, I just think we shouldn't resort to misleading and untrue arguments to criticize it, there are enough in plain sight)
