>Holy of Holies
That was something in the Jewish temple, not some ziggurat

The worst are the ones that betray a really childish view of the topics presented

>Example A: The Tower of Babel.

There are Christians who believe the Tower of Babel is much more than a metaphor for a Ziggarut

>
Example B: The supposedly contradictory nature of the Old Testament deity and the various commandments given by Him/It.
This of course ignores the recurring theme in the OT of strife and conflict between the castes, namely the military leaders and ruling families and the state priests and quasi-ascetic prophets, all of whom held different theologies and in some cases worshiped entirely separate deities, all of which were reconciled into a singular culture and theology during a later period.

Except that is not what most Christians believe or how it has traditionally been interpreted. The very fact that it is as you described makes the text and everything build on it suspect.

Because they hadn't failed in a summer offensive yet and thought that this would be Kiev all over again. Plus, the Soviets could pretty reliably be counted upon to make local counterattacks, even full blown counteroffensives, in the midst of German ones; which usually ended badly, I doubt they gave the local fortifications much credence.

>>2184047

Too high on amphetamines.

The idea had been to destroy the growing Russian reserve.

Most of the offensive was cancelled in the first week anyway due to the Allied invasion of Italy.

I enjoy them. I usually learn what I set out to learn.

It adds to Christ pain.

No, it injures your soul and furthers you from The Great Being.

no

John Green's pretty good

I've always wanted to make my own youtube series about Rome. Unfortunately Historia Civilis did too good of a job and stole the Roman history market. Bummer.

I suppose military history would be fun and still accessible.

The centerpiece of 19th-century industrialization.

Getting people drunk what the fuck else? Stop posting autism

Why was liquor factories so profitable?

Basil the Bulgar-slayer is the most underrated imo

>>2183356
Majorian is imo, by far.

>>2183356
How the fuck do you underrate a Sociopath? Tiberius was batshit crazy on toast. Claudius, Majorian, Claudius Gothicus and Severus Alexander were underrated.

>Student studying philosophy at Oxford
Not a Professor or a grad student, but I have read and studied Mill. I may try to help. What is your problem exactly?

>>2183323
I would add, for general reference the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a worthy article with basic understandings of Mill: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mill/

Just look at the complexity of the shapes. It's like comparing an 8th grader's essay with Shakespeare.

daily reminder that if you come up with complicated ideological critiques of morality but then just live a regular life you're wasting your time and nobody will ever care what you think

>>2183021
in the culture we live in killing and stealing is in fact immoral in most cases. They are not inherently immoral, however. But humans must and can only act in self interest, and following cultural rules is usually in self interest.

I don't think I've ever met anyone this spooked before

English translation?

>>2182963
Loosely translated:
>Ax. 1
In nature, if something moves something else, then this first thing was moved by a another thing.
>Ax 2.
There are things in nature that are in motion.
>Ax. 3
There has to have been a first motion, i.e. there was something that moved something else without having been moved by a another thing beforehand
>Def.
Let s be this first thing that moved something else
>Thm.
s cannot be physical (follows from 1st and 4th line)

Therefore s had to have been supernatural and therefore atheists btfo (maybe)

>>2182874
So this is just a lazy formulation of Aristotelian cosmological argument from 4th century BC.
>Ax.1 : If y is physical and there is something y moves, then there must be something that moves y.
I can't see why I should accept this axiom, immobile mover can be perfectly physical.
>Ax. 2: There exist x and y such that y is physical and it's moved by x
Can't argue with it.
>Ax. 3: There exist y and z such that y moves x but isn't moved by anything
This is basically "I can't proof the existence of God so I just assume it as an axiom" clause. There is no reason to accept this axiom, I can think of a circular movement interdependence with everything being moved by something else, and this is exactly how the physical world looks like form here.
>Def. s: Let's define s as something that moves anything but itsn't moved itself
See how this doesn't mean there is only one such s.
>Thm: Def. s is a negative of the conclusion of the implication in Ax.1 so the negative of it's premise is true. So, "Something that moves anything but isn't moved itself isn't physical"
The logic itself is sound, but it's based on unacceptable axioms. Also the proper conclusion should be "There exists something that isn't physical" and this is a far cry from proving God, whatever loose definition of the latter you're trying to use.

Can you clean up that bullshit brain vomit into a coherent /his/torical question?

>they always say that there are far less female inventors, generals, leaders, etc.
It's true even if women contributed a great deal.

roasties evolved to be literal cock sock walking uteruses and need to stop pretending otherwise

they're quite literally subhuman
