If the ``General Winter´´ had not reached Stalingrad.The Germans would have a chance of win?

If the forces of nature were so in favor of a Nazi victory that they would forestall the seasons just to prevent their blunder from actually impacting them then I suppose the Nazis would have been legitimately invincible in war.
>>
>>2001471

German failure at Stalingrad was not principally due to weather. In fact, Chuikov's memoirs said he only had two real worry points during the battle, first being the initial rush, and secondly when it started to get cold, as his resupply was threatened when the Volga was partially frozen and it was hard to get barges across, but not so locked in ice that you could just drag things from shore to shore.


Honestly, the main reason that the Germans couldn't take Stalingrad is they got too badly battered fighting (in the open, mind you) trying to get into position in the first place.

Germans lost because they got encircled, not because of the winter.

Landowners were required to allow serfs some benefits, such as owning some of the products of their labor.

Chattel slaves are the legal property of a single person.

Serfs are tied to a particular estate/area of land. They serve whoever happens to own that land.

serfs believe they have choice, slaves understand they have none.

Why was the French Revolution so horrible hostile towards established organized religions, to the point of replacing them with the Cults of Reason and the Supreme Being? I understand anti-clericalism due to the disproportionate power the clergy had, this anti-clericalism was also present during the American Revolution, but the downright bloody suppression and wholesale slaughter of the clergy and those that followed them? Where did that come from? Especially when the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen defended religious freedom?

tl;dr: Where did the desire to entirely dechristianize France come from?

Quite bad, to the point where the generals could stand around in plain sight and not get sniped. Otherwise you'd see what happens in the Napoleonic era total wars, where players just snipe at each other's generals with artillery and don't move until the opposing leader is dead.

In the future, would it country to exist that monitors its citizens and every inch of it's country with cameras and AI bots. Oublic streets and alleyways would be monitored by human being with cameras. Everyone wears the same similar clothing with a microphone and camera whih is controlled and monitored by an advanced AI. Private areas like bathroom stalls, private areas like homes, bathrooms, restricted areas would be monitored by AI cameras.

To prevent corruption. Human beings who operate the cameras are monitored by other human beings through cameras and microphones at certain periods of time or possibly recorded. Police and soldiers while on duty and such would have their actions recorded by bodycams and such and also monitored by human beings at certain periods of time.

All this for the sole purpose of civil peace and national prosperity.

Would such a country flourish like this? Could it be possible?

This is a crude idea and a more of an idea that i've been thinking of day and night while attended classes in school. It's something I daydream about and have thought about different flaws in this type of system. I like to patch those ideas and just have it as some sort of project in my head which will probably ever come true but would exidt as a dream. I thought I'd share it here and maybe hammer out some flaws or something.

Is there any branch of Christianity that rejects the idea of God being omnipotent and omniscient, but without rejecting the idea of a creator God entirely?

Most arguments I find discussing the idea of God being neither omnipotent nor omniscient tends to end with "so he can't exist".

I can prove fate and free will at the same time.

Each being capable choice is capable of enacting free will. Wether they are aware of said choice or not it doesn't matter.

Free will is your ability to choose between a set of predestined events and to enact what you will upon it. You can choose between a set of actions which will always happen anyway. In the moment there is freewill, but outside the moment there is not.

There is only a certain amount of things which can happen due to matter and the finite amount of ways it can define itself. So even if you had chicken for breakfast this morning and not cereal, rest assured there is a universe where you didn't have chicken and had cereal, yet everything in that iteration happened the exact same, it's just one day your choices are different. There is also a universe where this choice leads to vastly different outcomes.

Fate only appears when you look at the whole iteration of the universe, from start to end as it was always going to happen in that way, and you had a pseudo-choice.

You are both free and confined by destiny. Infinity is a bitch.

Pic unrelated.

Your paragraph defining free will is a total mess bordering on nonsensical. What do you mean when we can choose "from a set of actions that will always happen anyway"? If you can't satisfactorially prove this is the case to others, everything else you have falls apart.

You have nothing more substantive than people who wonder if maybe we're the reflection, and what we see in the mirror is actually the real world.

It could be compatible with Christian beliefs, but when communism was created institutionalized Christianity was very conservative and had historically opposed radical social change, so its not "arbitrary" at all that Marx didn't like them

>>2001720
Definitely. Although it's easy to see why Lenin was anti-Christian, given his wildly reactionary and Tsarist the pre-revolutionary Patriarchate had been.
