Depends on what you're doing with them I guess. Both are pretty fucking cool and have interesting interpretations of life. Egyptians (specifically pharaohs I don't remember if this applies to normal people) had their fucking hearts weighed against a feather to see if they were good or bad. Greeks also had an interesting religion that was copied by the Romans. Both are fun to read/learn about. I guess I'd go with greek but my real answer is Roman mythology because even though they copied the pantheon you can't beat a god that's purpose is to kill you for sleeping on the job.

The real truth to the universe though is that furries did everything.

>Thou living Aton, the beginning of life!
>When thou art risen on the eastern horizon,
>Thou hast filled every land with thy beauty.
>Thou art gracious, great, glistening, and high over every land;
>Thy rays encompass the lands to the limit of all that thou hast made:
>As thou art Re, thou reachest to the end of them;
> (Thou) subduest them (for) thy beloved son.
>Though thou art far away, thy rays are on earth;
>Though thou art in their faces, no one knows thy going.
>When thou settest in the western horizon,
>The land is in darkness, in the manner of death.
>They sleep in a room, with heads wrapped up,
>Nor sees one eye the other.
>All their goods which are under their heads might be stolen,
> (But) they would not perceive (it).
>Every lion is come forth from his den;
>All creeping things, they sting.
>Darkness is a shroud, and the earth is in stillness,
>For he who made them rests in his horizon.
>At daybreak, when thou arisest on the horizon,
>When thou shinest as the Aton by day,
>Thou drivest away the darkness and givest thy rays.
>The Two Lands are in festivity every day,
>Awake and standing upon (their) feet,
>For thou hast raised them up.
>Washing their bodies, taking (their) clothing,
>Their arms are (raised) in praise at thy appearance.
>All the world, they do their work.
>All beasts are content with their pasturage;
>Trees and plants are flourishing.
>The birds which fly from their nests,
>Their wings are (stretched out) in praise to thy ka.
>All beasts spring upon (their) feeet.
>Whatever flies and alights,
>They live when thou hast risen (for) them.
>The ships are sailing north and south as well,
>For every way is open at thy appearance.
>The fish in the river dart before thy face;
>Thy rays are in the midst of the great green sea.

>Creator of seed in women,
>Thou who makest fluid into man,
>Who maintainest the son in the womb of his mother,

>Thou nurse (even) in the womb,
>Who givest breath to sustain all that he has made!
>When he descends from the womb to breathe
>On the day when he is born,
>Thou openest his mouth completely,
>Thou suppliest his necessities.
>When the chick in the egg speaks within the shell,
>Thou givest him breath within it to maintain him.
>When thou hast made him his fulfillment within the egg, to break it,
>He comes forth from the egg to speak at his completed (time);
>He walks upon his legs when he comes forth from it.
>How manifold it is, what thou hast made!
>They are hidden from the face (of man).
>O sole god, like whom there is no other!
>Thou didst create the world according to thy desire,

Because he was the ""leader"" of a country that has a majorly illiterate population and somebody 40 years ago said he was neat and so it must be.

During the Cold War he seen (and promoted himself) as a maverick, a viable alternative to the grey Soviet system. That and the fact that he's the founding father of a country of 1 billion.

1.He wasn't publicly attacked and denounced by his successors. (the CCP learned from the Russians.)
2. Genuinely a more charismatic figure than JS

Today it's often vilified by self-flagellating Americans, but the people of the day thought it was the bee's knees.
I think it's perfectly explained by an army wife in Ken Burns's documentary on the war, wherein she explains that while it may be controversial today, the idea of winning without having to sacrifice any American soldiers was never in question.
It's easy to say that it's morally dubious today, when nearly everyone involved is a distant memory, but would you have objected if it were your father, brother, husband, or son going off to invade?
Was it wrong? Maybe. Was there a right answer? Probably not.

It's real in a sense. When your body decomposes, its elements get used in new life. It's like saying the cow you ate 2 weeks ago has been reincarnated into you

>>3267905
Great metaphysical interpretation of reincarnation, anon, but you should stick to drawing carbon cycle maps instead.

>“The advice to refrain from sexual acts in the new relationship not only appears unrealistic to many,” Cardinal Marx stated. “It is also questionable whether sexual actions can be judged independent of the lived context.”

What in the fuck? How did he become a Cardinal? Is he really trying to go POMO on Catholic ethics?

>>3267486
In a way he is. Businesses can only make profit in a free market by selling/providing goods and services that people want to buy voluntarily with their own money. People will only purchase these goods if they believe or know that it will improve their life, thus benefiting everyone.

The thing is though, that he only considers goods and services that people voluntarily buy and thus disregarding essential goods (food, healthcare, housing) that some people can't purchase because they can't participate in the labor market or attain a livable wage (unemployed, disabled, etc). These groups of people want to purchase these goods, but can't - and therefore business will not provide them because it's not profitable.

>>3267486
But uh businesses should also control uh society...yeah! *rub rub*

Germany because "le /pol/ maymay", Britain because they deserve it.

Wut?
No one denies Germany's greatness here
Their military prowess between 1860 and 1945 were impressive

Britain however is overrated garbage that only ever won wars against savages or when carried by allies as part of huge coalitions
