Fuck horse niggers
>>2259263
>Fuck horse
Fuck you, nothing compared as the brain dead anglos claiming manifest destiny, all this is muh land and any who opposes us is savage. Because of them the westward expasion stalled for many years of course white hicks would want to make them seem like animals, maybe you should go back to your ancestors land and complain the fuck over there
>>2259271
How could you defend gangs of men running around, burning down houses, murdering, and raping women as they go?
Quit being such a white knight
What did past civilizations do for laughs? What kind of stuff would they do for shits and giggles?
>>2259241
rape. im not joking
>>2259246
I know rape isn't funny, but you had to have been there.
I was about to joke about fox tossing and cockfighting and so on, but they took it way too seriously to call it mere entertainment.
Lets talk about these folks.

>>2259240

nothing because god is not real
>>2259102
every time something happens god is responsible
>>2259102
nobody does anything, because nothing is somebody. there isn't a will responsible for any event you perceive, nature is just one huge block of everything. it isnt divided up into a bunch of different minds or controlled, it just 'acts' as it must
How respectful of priests are you?
I generally don't have a particularly high opinion of religious people, because I don't understand how someone could possibly rationalize that a good and caring god would create such a horrible world filled with suffering. That said I certainly respect their right to delude themselves, even if I don't share in it, and most priests I've met seemed like decent enough people who were dedicated to helping others.
Why do you ask OP?
>>2259099
They have no "right" to delude themselves, much less the children in their charge, who they are preparing for the greatest crime of all
I generally respect catholic priests and shiite imams even though I am not religious.
Sunni Imams are scary infiltrators and our protestants are likewarm hippies here who talk weird stuff about love.

If to compress this 2 hour conversation - Jordan Peterson can't comprehend and grant the simple fact that truthfulness has nothing to do with a moral intentions. Sam Harris gives the example that 2 different labs synthesizing smallpox can be both true about smallpox and molecular biology behind it, no matter if one lab doing so for chemical warfare or if another for medical purposes. Jordan Peterson denies it and binds truthfulness with goodness.
I like Jordan Peterson, but Sam Harris was on the point.
>>2258988
I think Jordan is right that truth is a moral thing. In the realm of scientific research only words like fact should be used, not truth.
Peterson is way out of Harris league and it shows.
Peterson understood everything that Harris said, but the same cant be said vice versa.
Its the same argument that Continental and Analytic philosophies have having for long while now. You can't use detached, stale abstractions as a truncated view on the actual, real world which is indefinitely more complicated and nuanced. Harris can't really seem to understand how discrete examples with all context arbitrarily removed aren't as useful as you might suggest. He can create as many overly simplistic examples as he wants( and he keeps doing it over and over) but he never really scratches as the real issue.
The big difference between the two is the Peterson has spent alot of time thinking about this and Harris hasn't. Harris found a powerful(yet unrefined) tool to construct his world, yet he can't see the inherent limitations and contradictions it brings. You can hear this clearly in the exchange.
Peterson recognized that Harris view was indeed powerful and produces an amazing array of things to which humans owe a great deal to, but that doesn't make the world view that goes with it inherently true, which he wants to draw the distinction at.
>>2259264
>Islam is a false religion and Muhammad was a false pro-
so Islam is not a religion of peace but conquest?
>>2258958
There are many paths up the mountain, but all lead to the same place.
>>2258958
>Muhammad was a false prophet
There, I helped you finish the sentence.
What can /his/ tell me about America's role in ww1
>>2258926
Straw that broke the camels back
>>2258926
Basically showed up to be the good boys when the war was already won.
Lost 500,000 in less than a year cause they figured the British and French method of fighting was valid even though those fucks lost millions already.
Then claim they won the war by themselves.
>>2258939
That was Italy, Final german offensive already failed before those fat fucks stepped off the boat
Repill me about Gnosticism
>>2258878
Honestly, it makes more sense than God created evil therefore he is all good.
If the demiurge created the world and all its evil and then Christ and his god came along to save us form that evil it makes more sense.
Shame Pope killed off all the Cathars.
>>2258878
A set pattern of beliefs concerning a hierarchical cosmology and the divinity of the soul which is does not truly belong in the world but must reach pure wisdom as to reunite with the godhead. Also syncretism all over the place.
Does God exist?
Hard mode: you can't say 'no'
>>2258749
"God" is a spook
>>2258749
God exists but he's not a Christian god.
Hard mode: Can't say he isn't Muslim God.
>>2258749
>implying he's not amoral and, therefore, doesn't matter for human matters
