>it ain't idolatry if we do it!1!11!

How do catholics justify their Polytheism and idolatry? Extreme mental gymnastics.

>>2393019
Any example of those mental gymnastics?

>>2390765
No. It's a combination of science and art, like medicine, woodworking, or any other skill. It is based on objective truths that are complex beyond our current ability to fully systematize, so the best we can do for now it make increasingly refined conjectures based on observation, trial, and error.

>>2390765

NO; IT IS A SCIENCE.

If it isn't falsifiable, it isn't scientific.

My father's father was a bit too young to fight in WW2, (Wound up in Korea though).

Mother's father was in the Pacific. Lost his eye in one of the Solomon Islands, forget which one. I remember him cleaning out his eye socket periodically.

My great grandfather became MIA in February 1942 somewhere near Moscow, another was injured during the Winter war so he wasn't drafted for WW2, and yet another was injured but survived the war.

Former Spy Weeps at Iran-Contra Trial

By NEIL A. LEWIS
WASHINGTON, July 29— The powerful strains and tensions wrought on the Central Intelligence Agency by the Iran-contra affair were thrust into full view today as a former agency official wept on the witness stand as he testified in Federal District Court against his former superior.

Alan D. Fiers, a tall and rangy one-time football star at Ohio State University and former spy in several dangerous overseas posts, dissolved into tears near the end of his two days of testimony against Clair E. George when he was questioned about their once-close relationship.

Mr. George, who had been the third-most-senior official at the nation's principal spy agency, is charged with lying to Congress and investigators about the agency's knowledge of the Reagan Administration's illegal sale of arms to Iran and use of the profits to aid the Nicaraguan rebels.

Mr. Fiers spent much of the day describing the frantic atmosphere at the agency as it struggled to get its story straight when the facts behind the Iran-contra affair first became public knowledge.

"The pace was rapid-fire," Mr. Fiers testified. "We were moving fast and furious."

He painstakingly described how in one instance Mr. George ordered him to rewrite testimony to Congress so as not to disclose the delivery of military supplies to the rebels, or contras, being run by Lieut. Col. Oliver L. North, a National Security Council aide. Mr. Fiers also said Mr. George purposely lied to Congress about his knowledge of a former C.I.A. spy's role in the operation.

Mr. Fiers began sobbing when asked to talk about his personal relationship with Mr. George.

I never got that either. The fucking Aztec Empire began in 1468. There are universities in Europe much older than that.

The people the Andes didn't just flash into existence 100 years ago. It's not like America got to the Moon all by itself with no help from the humans before it in just a little under 200 years.

>>2399212
*100 years before the Spanish arrived

>>2399150
nope, fascism is just an oligarchy where the leader's personal friends are the oligarchs

>>2399150

>knows he's /pol/ posting
>does it any way

>>2399150
No, French military during the Revolution and the Empire was.

How dare you post a picture of prophet Dawkins (science be upon him) while criticizing his dogmas?

>>2399151
even he hates the modern atheist movement, because they are about gender and race issues and idiotic christian bashing

>I am non-religious
It's the same thing as the atheism dumbass.

Most of the France is evil posting is done by the unholy alliance of eternal anglo and teuton that are disgusted by France's efforts to stop them from destroying Europe.

go to bed hans

>>2399029

France isn't evil.

It's just that the Treacherous French are devils made flesh, born endowed by their unholy creator with a seething hatred of liberty and honor, intent on the destruction of Protestant Anglo-Saxon culture and resentful of the prosperity that culture has given to the world.

But you could easily say the same about the Vile Norwegian, so I'm not being xenophobic

The absolute mad man did it

Frances are giant pentagons of dirt, get over it.

>>2398802
Nah, that would be the opium wars.

Why doesn't this board have flags?

>>2398812
Flags are the single biggest cancer this website has ever seen. They originated on KC which is a catastrophically shitty board, then infested 4chan /int/ and completely ruined /sp/ and /pol/ too. The day flags are introduced on /his/ is the day I leave for good.

There are many alternatives to free will besides predetermination. For example, even if the future was not determined due to the future being contingent on a random quantum event, thus not predetermined, a random quantum event does not qualify as free will; just randomness.

>>2398686
Depends on how you look at "needing" and "urges".
I think it's more of a perspective issue, when needing something you are thinking about it (obsessively) and so are much more likely to take an action regarding that need. It doesn't mean you HAVE to take a action that takes care of that need but much more likely.

The needs/urges are pretty predetermined in chemical brain issues thingies. though the action taken is the consciousness question {What is it? Does consciousness determine reality, is it something that defines everything, is it free will, how does it even work?}.

It's like opening the refrigerator filled with beer, the changes that I get something from this refrigerator that is a beer are very very likely because everything I can get from it is beer. {But hey I can still close it and do something completely different, or drink some water from the tap, warm soda from outside the refrigerator}.

Determinism, free will and compatibilism are stupid questions based on physics that haven't yet been discovered.

definitely arab

upstanding white folks ended slavery on their own volition while arabs still have slavery in the 1920s, arabs must have really hated their slaves

>>2398505

THAT IS A SUPERFLUOUS QUESTION; ANY KIND OF SLAVERY BY ANYONE IS EVIL.

>>2398509
Obviously any slavery is evil but I'm wondering what was the most brutal of the major slave trades.
