Why did they decide to slap a 5 cm cannon on it?

Because it might have to engage other armored cars, and some AP beats no AP.

also there were versions with a short 7,5cm gun (which was very well suited for high explosive ammunition) and a long 7,5cm PaK 40 mounted as improvised tank destroyer. By 1942 the Germans mounted anti-tank guns on every vehicle that could possibly fit one, because they were overwhelmed by the numbers of tanks the Allies could produce and send to the front.

Can Christianity and science be reconciled?
I don't mean only dude god did evolution but also why didn't he mention anything about the issues between science and religion in the bible, how can romans 1 be upheld when evidence points more to atheism than theism, contradictions in christ's last words etc.

Note: This is not /pol/. I don't want to discuss whether religion is good for a society or whether you believe in it regardless of these issues. I only want to discuss how these could be reconciled.

To make it clear: I have no problem with you saying for example the great flood is a metapher or something but I'd like to hear you argue for that and not just merely escape controversy.

>Can Christianity and science be reconciled

The idea of them being in conflict happened over a millennia of being established in Europe and practiced, so yes they definitely can be reconciled.

What particular to Romans 1 conflicts with you?

>evidence points more to atheism to theism

The main argument for theism - divine conservation - is still very valid. Moreover, the ideology that is incorrectly called "atheism" in the west (metaphysical naturalism) is being tested severely by the Problem of Intentionality in the whole consciousness debate. Theistic thought in the mainstream is only modern stuff and discourse centers around Protestant circles rather than all the arguments that formed the theistic tradition throughout Europe's foundation.

>>3302725

>flood as metaphor

Such a view is in fact trying to escape controversy or being foolish because they can give symbolic understandings of stories. A general understanding of the actual discourse around the deluge story is here:

>What particular to Romans 1 conflicts with you?
>knowing that god existed they suppressed that knowledge
>he gave enough evidence in the heavens and the earth so that the unbelievers are without excuse
I'm not sure if it's romans 1 and quoted from head but the point is saying everything points to god to a degree that unbelievers are without excuse even though science points to atheism seems kinda hypocritical

>main argument for theism - divine conservation - is still very valid
I actually agree but it's not flawless. How do you explain for example dinosaurs if evolution was guided by god to bring about humans? Why did early humans die before Adam? What if multiple origin is true and Adam thus seemingly disproven?

>the ideology that is incorrectly called "atheism" in the west (metaphysical naturalism)
Come on don't be cheap. If Jesus is the truth shouldn't you be morally obliged to present your opposing viewpoint fairly?

>Problem of Intentionality
How so?

I just realised I framed this poorly between atheism and christianity when nonchristianity and christianity would be more fitting.
I'm very open to the idea of deism but I mentioned problems with christianity beyond just theistic ones i.e. contradictions, preservance failures etc.

Could someone explain to me the concept of Dharma?

Also, what should I read to learn about Dharma

Dharma is your duty in life
Read the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita (the whole Mahabharata is worth it too)
>>
>>3300143
Dharma is also Nature, as in a duty or law that cannot be avoided. The Gunas for instance, are part of the Dharma of Material manifestation.

I would suggest also to read Upanishads as well as Gita and Ramayan

Bell of Fujisan.

It's your Great War boy back again with a new WW1 thread.

For those who didn't see the last thread I'm doing my PhD on WW1 specialising in Australia and the British Empire. I also run a WW1 blog with 3000+ pictures of the War.
I'll be around to answer questions, dump pictures and art and give fun facts.

“At first it was shock, then it was terror, then it was unbelief. I stepped over dead bodies, I stepped over live and smashed bodies, I stepped over pieces of what had been bodies. Wounded were crying out in agony. Shell-shocked men crawled and clung to each other. some blubbering like babies. And every few seconds another shell would burst into my nightmare.”
— Private Bert Bishop, part of a carrying party from the 30th Australian Battalion on 19 July 1916 during the Battle of Fromelles.

“My tunic is rotten …
We are lousy, stinking, ragged, unshaven and sleepless. Even when we’re back a bit we can’t sleep for our own guns. I have one puttee, a dead man’s helmet, another dead man’s gas protector, a dead man’s bayonet. My tunic is rotten with other men’s blood, and partly splattered with a comrade’s brains. It is horrible, but why should you people at home not know? Several of my friends are raving mad. I met three officers out in No Man’s Land the other night, all rambling and mad. Poor Devils!”

At the end of the 1950s the US was near the height of its powers, it was in an economically and financially strong position, militarily unmatched by any country except the USSR, and could contemplate and embark on wastefully ambitious projects like the space race. Its people were unquestionably confident in the country's anti-communist purpose and mission, and unabashedly nationalistic.

By the beginning of the 1970s, the US was a psychologically defeated nation, riddled with self-doubt and nihilism, with levels of drug and gang-related crime and domestic terrorism approaching the level of an internal low-level conflict, widespread contempt for authority, in an economically precarious situation due to oil shocks, trade imbalances and the end of the gold standard, a condition from which it did not recover until near the end of the 1980s, with some arguing it has yet to recover.

How did it suffer such a drastic collapse in less than one generation?

the economic system developed to the point the people who owned everything no longer made enough profit to maintain it, it was just industrialy too developed, everything was way too cheap and affordable, and the system unloaded this massive production surpluss into technocratic mega projects like sending people to the moon, and generaly turned it into cadilacs and washingmachines and such to drown the surplus among the consumer population, as consumerism was largely developed precisely to deal with this surplus

from the 60is onwards, especialy after 1971 and then trough the 80is, deregulation and outsourcing made it so they were making profit again, but everything else went to shit

any possible moral or ideological 'degeneration' is ragely due to the fact the 50is smiling cardboard cut out nuclear family crap was just consumerist propaganda any way, even your example is basicaly some comercial all in bright technicolor

One year after the fact, it's still hilarious to see brits were dumb enough to think pakis came through the EU and brexit was gonna do away with them.
Because Pakistan is clearly an EU country, and not at all a member of the british commonwealth, with all the immigration treaties such status implies.
