Why the fuck did Hitler declare war on the USA?
He wasn't obliged to do so since Japanese attacked first, and Japanese did jack shit to help him in his war against the Soviets. Also by December 1941 his army got stalled in Russia and was getting it's ass kicked. Why did he felt it was a good move to declare war on the biggest industrial power in the world at the time? I know the US public was hungry for Japanese blood because they were the ones who bombed Pearl Harbor but I doubt they'd want to fight in an another European War just because Roosevelt said so.

>"If a king will arise from the House of David, who is learned in Torah, observant of the commandments, as prescribed by the Written Law and Oral Law, as David his ancestor was,
and he will compel all Israel to walk in the way of the Torah, and reinforce the breaches in its observance, and he will fight the wars of G-d,
we may presume that he is the Messiah.

>If he does these things, and is fully successful, builds the Third Temple in its place and gathers the dispersed of Israel, then he is definitely the Messiah.

>If he did not succeed to this degree, or he was killed, he surely is not the Messiah promised in the Torah".


Why did Jesus not build the third temple, not gather the dispersed of Israel, and then he died?

Don't worry, I'm not /pol/.

Anyway, there's this guy on YouTube who posits that Islam didn't so much preserve Western civilization (key philosophical writings and so on) so much as they burned most of what there was when they overwhelmed the Christians and just happened to transmit back to us what was left.

Another part of his argument is that Islam was not only a terrifying force, but that they its leaders were cunning enough to know what to target. He suggests that they always went out of their way to destroy the trade routes that were in place, and that they made the trade on the Mediterranean (and living on the coasts) a nightmare due to their desire for slaves etc.

Finally, the points out that the Crusades are blown out of proportion, and that they were not only an adequate response to Muslim aggression, but late and underwhelming. However, he makes no mention of any attacks the Christians might've had on the Muslims outside of the Crusades (and I'm sure there must've been some), so I don't know how to take what he's saying as a non-expert.

I would love some real information on this. I'd also like to know from Muslimbros how their conquests are seen in their countries too--is it just propaganda?

Here's the presentation from that guy,

>USA
>Nazi Germany
>Soviet Union
Your country got occupied during WWII and you were back in time. Which one of the three would you realistically argue to support, if you want your country to be independent/liberated/restored/etc and not annexed?

>"Eastern Roman Empire".

>This is very difficult to say while keeping a straight face. I wonder who can, because indeed it is hard.

>"Eastern", you say, grinning like Procopius did. "Eastern", it is its name. But when thinking of "Eastern", you think about how Rome was located in the West. You think about all those who succeeded Rome in the West. You think about how the Catholic Church continued Roman political system in the West.

>But then, the funniest is coming: "Roman". Yes, now, you cannot contain your laughter. "Roman" it is called, despite the fact that this "Roman" body is standing on Greece, a land so harsh and poor that it took the Legions of Rome 66 years to set foot in it. A Greek-speaking and non-Roman Catholic people, yes, but still calling themselves "Roman".

>And now, here is the end of the fun: "Empire". Now you fell on the ground, laughing so hard you can't breathe. An "Empire", a body made of dozens of pretenders to the throne, all fighting for themselves, giving strange names to their position, full of Despots or Autokrators. An "Empire" who will stay divided and eventually ruled by Turks , while the great powers of Europe create colonies all around the world.

Oh wow i thought you guys were kidding when you said he hates byzantines, what the fuck was his problem?

/sci/ makes fun of us for being "useless" and "brainlets." What is the deal? The humanities can be just as intellectually rigorous as STEM and can be applied to the real world as just as much too. We have law, ethics, logic, politics, music, art, literature, etc.. All of which are very much applicable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Lepanto

The Battle of Lepanto was a naval engagement taking place on 7 October 1571 in which a fleet of the Holy League, a coalition of European Catholic maritime states arranged by Pope Pius V, financed by Habsburg Spain and led by admiral John of Austria, inflicted a major defeat on the fleet of the Ottoman Empire in the Gulf of Patras, where the Ottoman forces sailing westwards from their naval station in Lepanto (the Venetian name of ancient Naupactus Ναύπαkτος, Ottoman İnebahtı) met the fleet of the Holy League sailing east from Messina, Sicily.

In the history of naval warfare, Lepanto marks the last major engagement in the Western world to be fought entirely or almost entirely between rowing vessels, the galleys and galeasses which were still the direct descendants of the ancient trireme warships. The battle was in essence an "infantry battle on floating platforms".[10] It was the largest naval battle in Western history since classical antiquity, involving more than 400 warships. Over the following decades, the increasing importance of the galleon and the line of battle tactic would displace the galley as the major warship of its era, marking the beginning of the "Age of Sail".

The victory of the Holy League is of great importance in the history of Europe and of the Ottoman Empire, marking the turning-point of Ottoman military expansion into the Mediterranean, although the Ottoman wars in Europe would continue for another century.

Who else has watched him debating? He destroys every atheist in every single one. He makes Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins look like children trying to build a valid argument.


You cannot remain an atheist after watching a debate with William Lane Craig.
