Let's list them all and shoot them down, in an effort to combat the cancer of plebeian history on this board.

I'm a bit concerned because If hell is real I'd rather avoid it but I also can't confirm it is?
>>3276557
If you go to hell you can always repent when they unfreeze you
G*d btfo
>>3276595
Hah I hadn't thought about that.
I guess it comes down to whether or not God would find such cosmic shenanigans worth a pass, or if he'd just wait until you died for realsies and send you to Hell.
I've heard that since Final Judgement still takes place at a set time in the future, so any death/revival before that point won't actually send you anywhere.

Where do you all think the idea of morality comes from, at what point did we develop morality as a concept. Also universal morality or moral relativism?
This image confuses me
i want to save this image but i know if anyone ever finds it on my computer my life will lose whatever credibility it has left
fuck it

Im sorry that radical evolution is confusing to you
Why did he have to keep his diary secret, and make signals with a corrupt guard to receive more paper, when he was allowed a pen and paper?
>>3276542
I THINK THAT HIS SURREPTITIOUSLY WRITING HIS DIARY/MEMOIRS IS A LIE FABRICATED WITH THE PURPOSE OF GIVING CREDENCE TO HIS CLAIMS MADE IN THE BOOKS REGARDING ADOLF HITLER, THE THIRD REICH, AND NATIONAL SOCIALISM, BECAUSE PART OF THE CONDITIONS FOR RECEIVING A RELATIVELY LENIENT SENTENCE WAS TO WRITE DEFAMATORY LIES AGAINST ADOLF HITLER, THE THIRD REICH, AND NATIONAL SOCIALISM.
ALBERT SPEER VIRTUALLY TRADED HIS PERSONAL INTEGRITY FOR A LENIENT SENTENCE.

Does everything always end in failure? It seems like that. Great men fail in the end or their succesors destroy everything they have built up.
>>3276508
It is the human condition. All things born from us carry our taint and suffer as we do. We strive for greatness only for it to eventually fall away from us, perhaps consuming us in the process.
Love and faith are the only things that truly transcend our failing state. Focus on these anon if you want something truly everlasting
could it be that great country's are built on more then just great men?
>>3276508
You create your own view on life with your thoughts and ideologies. Think like a failure, be a failure.

Is the unavoidanle destiny of all the planet Earth to become an industrial shithole?
Did the industrial era really end?
I don't think humans can do anything the Earth won't recover from eventually, even if it takes a few million years.
>>3276459

No.
What's their endgame?
>>3276439
its achieved, stay the course and watch the growth
economic growth and a sphere of influence
crashing their growth rate, with no survivors
Is/was there any attempt to create a scientifical religion or spiritual system?
By this I don't mean science as the object of devotion but a religion free from superstition by the means of discarding it according to scientific discoveries, adapting things that are proven to have a benefitial effect (like meditation), etc
Alternatively, is there any religion/belief system compatible with change and science?
>>3276414
Scientism
The basis of religion is that you need to listen to someone else who has some special connection to the divine/spiritual that others don't. Scientifically, that's hard to argue.
>>3276414
you can see truths for yourself, without arbitrary judgments of the source, integrating a single reality with trust in yourself and god where you want him. cultivate your spirituality and allow others to do the same. the church youre describing is our world. are you asking how to participate effectively (ie encouraging honesty)?
Is it really thanks to Muslim scholars that Europe experienced an intellectual and artistic renaissance?
>>3276402
Yes
Partially, yes. Byzantine scholars had a greater impact.
>>3276402
Not really. However, Muslim Spain did introduce new methods and works of aristotle.
But it was the Byzantine and the Catholic Church that have preserved most of the lliterature after the fall of Rome.
Or you could say that the Ottoman conquest of Byzantium made scholars flee to Italy wish would introduce new works that were never known before since the schism. Then yes, you can thank the Muslim T*urk.

Yes why

It's all the conventions fault for annexing Belgium !

I wonder how long it would take with those borders for everyone to become the same species.
Why did Austria-Hungary perform so poorly against Serbia?
>>3276331
cause the Austro-Hungarian Army was a hodgepodge of poorly-trained peasants, most of whom couldn't understand their commanding officers but could get the gist of their 'enemy's' language
also home-field advantage, and the fact A-H troops weren't really motivated to fight (Franz Ferdinand was not popular and who really gave a fuck about politics/expansion/Bosnia?)
Too many languages and ethnicities, no unit cohesion, no unity of purpose.
Also their commander was a bumbling retard.
h*ngary
