I'm an Atheist but this is a legit question for the theologically minded. I'm often told that the reason Jesus had to come to Earth and die for our sins was because someone had to pay the penalty for breaking God's law. God was incapable of breaking that rule because it was within his divine nature to be perfectly just, and not punishing a crime would be an unjust thing to do. So he created Jesus to take all of humanity's sins and then Jesus had to die. But if that's the case then how could Jesus ascend to heaven 3 days later? Shouldn't he be the only resident in hell suffering for all our sins? Since he's in heaven doesn't that imply that sinners can still go to heaven?
someone had to pay the penalty for breaking God's law. God was incapable of breaking that rule
>he created Jesus to take all of humanity's sins and then Jesus had to die.
can any americans tell me what the name of this fuck stupid theology is?

Another atheist here. You've got it wrong. Jesus was sacrificed as repentance for Original Sin. He had no sin because he was God.
In much the way the Hebrews before Jesus would sacrifice a lamb to apologize for serious sins or to thank Yahweh for this or that good fortune, Jesus was sacrificed to apologize for the Original Sin. He's not the sinner, we are. He's the offering. That's why he's called the Lamb of God.

This isn't an Anarchy thread...It's a Humanities kind of thread.
What I want to know is what you all genuinely think of the National Sex Offender Registry and the stipulations that states give to those who are on it.
Last I checked there were over 850,000 people on the SORNA list and 1/4 of them were under the age of 18 when they were placed on it.
Personally, I think it's a travesty to lump together people who got drunk and urinated in public or mooned someone in public with people who have abducted, raped, and killed children as young as 3 years old.
There is no discrimination of the stipulations on the registry. Some may only spend a few years on the list and some may be on it for life, but while on that list, each state is free to impose their own stipulations that ALL people on the registry must follow.
Some of them include New Yorkers MUST stay home on Halloween Night or face being arrested. No going out to dinner or an adult friend's party...
In some states they cannot even enter shopping centers, zoos, movie theaters, etc, etc. Some states have effectively created leper colonies because the offenders cannot find housing.
So, what do you think, /his? Do we punish people for sexually linked crimes because of our puritan roots? Does the registry do any good? Is it just punishment for punishment's sake?

The broadness of what constitutes a "sex offender" is the most disturbing thing to me. If you molested a child or raped a woman though, I have no fucking sympathy for how your life ends up after you serve prison time.
>>2885994
Sooooooo
This is clearly an FBI honeypot
Thanks Hiroshimoot, glad to see you are so well financed
>>2885994
I remember people telling me that people on the list were sick and compulsive offenders with incredibly high re-offense rates.
It turns out that people are using re-arrests for things like parole violation (which could be having a smart phone, missing curfew, forgetting/failing to register) as a way to bump up re-offense stats.
When you look at sex offenders who actually go out and commit other sex crimes, they have the second lowest re-offense rate (4%-5%) following murderers (1%-2%)
So why is it that there are no registries for people who have repeatedly assaulted people, abused spouses/children, or sold narcotics?
Were they really that bad of a dynasty or did they just have the bad luck of being the dynasty in power during the age of European colonialism?
too conservative
thank confucius
Little bit of both.
They could have at least adapted better like the Meiji
>>2885955
They had the bad luck of being in decline right when European colonialism was really taking off. Early Qing and late Ming had actually clashed with and defeated early European incursions of Dutch and Portuguese.
Is he right?

They mainly only fired one shot though before they charged in, usually supporting heavier cavalry.

Why was the pistol almost abandoned by cavalry, though ?

I am honestly not sure, maybe uneffective?
Been reading on the cultural practises of the indigenous New Guinean tribes and holy fuck these people are barbarous. Why didn't colonists wipe them all out? We're talking confirmed cases of paedophilia, homosexuality, urophilia and cannibalism. Are there other historical cultures that were this fucked up and culturally backwards?
Moari were worse. While culture built around cannibalism.

Why was almost every Empress Dowager in Chinese history, with very few exceptions, a cruel and disastrous megalomaniac? Pic related is probably one of the least bad and that's saying something.

Where does this meme come from? I have never seen any German soldier without winter uniform (greatcoat).
>>2885168
>the winter uniform of the german army was suited for temperatures under 40°
>>2885168
They were absolute shit compared to the russian winter clothing. Also, the air drops weren't consistent and dropped everything from summer clothing to condoms.

I remember reading something about people using fire arrows to attack wooden siege towers.
but he's probably right.

a dance instructor with an Bachelor's in Archaeology is not a researcher or a historian

What are some good books, films (please don't remind people of the Kubrick project), etc that you enjoy about Napoleon?

You are a fascist. Not even memeing.

Reading Napoleon: A Life right now by Andrew Roberts. I like it a lot so far, it's interesting how Napoleon went from a Corsican nationalist to a Jacobin who supported French rule to an Emperor.
So is this a 'thing' or not?

It's a bunch of vague, meaningless "plans" that could be applied to literally anyone. It's utter nonsense. Don't forget the train bombs under every city in Europe if the Goyim find out!
