Sargon of Akkad

They literally read the story to the walls of Uruk, so they would know where they came from and remain strong.

You must be American.

It's a for profit enterprise. If you're losing money, you're not going to keep at it.

Also, the French were also fucking with the British.

>>1802256

Back in the day wars were no fought through Europa Universalis.

The American Revolution was just one front in a worldwide war between Britain and France.

The Slavic world would've been largely united under their leadership.Novgorod is basically the only East Slavic city which has retained it's system of "tribal democracy".

If Novgorod is the "new city" what was the old city?

I can't imagine a good Russia.

Because of the Feudal arrangement of society. As the Feudal structure declined, so did the presence - and even existence - of knights.

For example, knights did not exist in the Byzantine Empire, since there was never a devolution into Feudalism, save for the interregnum following 1204.

>knights did not exist in the Byzantine Empire, since there was never a devolution into Feudalism
"serve as cavalry in exchange for land" was a really, really fucking common arrangement in the empire, as was "serve as infantry in exchange for land" or "be the general in this border region in exchange for land, summon X number of men when called."

The theme system was essentially feudal, they just retained a separate, professional corp of soldiers to supplement it all.

Life has no meaning other than the one you choose, at least they die for something, at the end, will you be able to say "i die but i die for something worth it" anon?

>>1802086

lol. I'm sure the guys who were dying on the Normandy beaches were thinking "totally worth it, bro!".

It's simple, people in the 40s weren't as soft and weak as you are.

I'm a fence-sitter and have always been one.

There have been eerie moments of coincidence though which made me contemplate metaphysics and the existence of a higher plane of being.

One such example is me praying to a saint, then reading an unrelated comic which mentions some godforsaken German smalltown somewhere in the Ruhr agglomeration. A day later, I am searching for churches dedicated to said saint and the first church bearing his name is that godforsaken German smalltown.

Make of that what you want. It was a weird coincidence at least and a minor miracle at best.

When I was little, around 6th grade when we started learning about Greek mythology and early Western civ I started wondering, "why are there so many different religions? How could there be so many if one was right?"

Obviously to young boys these things don't really matter, so the thought was there but didn't really mean much

In about 8th grade one kid openly said he was an atheist. He was openly chastised and bullied for it. I had nothing to do with it but thence forward I started learning more and more about humanity outside my little suburban town, beyond the broad generalizations in school.


Now early on I did attend catholic school, but my parents stopped and by 8th grade all my friends were having these "confirmations" or whatever you call them, about most of the grade in about one week, but not me. It made me feel slightly more of an outsider, but I'm sure this exclusion I felt existed only in my head.

About 9th grade hit (bad time in my life) and the idea of religion seemed so fallacious I went full swing into atheism, saying stupid stuff like "god is fake" and the like. Maybe it was an act of rebellion, maybe it was a distraction from me being a moody 14 year old, who knows.


Come 10th grade, I was going through some hard times. So hard I actually went back to religion to try and cope, to give me hope against the despair and fear I felt almost every day. Possibly the worst time of my life drew me closer back to religion, I'm sure I'm one of million of cases.

Come 11th grade and things start rapidly to improve, a lot of my prior fears and problems were acquiesced and I go back to my atheist phase. I'm no longer vocal or even representative of it however, I avoid the topic even to this day.

Cmme senior year I start exploring my family's past, specifically my father's side of the family. My mother raised me initially, and from a Spaniard culture obviously tried to raise me catholic until she abandoned us.

>>1801927
So senior year I start exploring and trying out Judaism. I'm neither vocal about it or even willing to discuss it back then, but I wear my star of david pendant under my shirt most of the time, gifted by my jewish grandmother.

I didn't have much of a penchant for religious practice and scripture, so come college I identify as jewish but never openly practice or that stuff. I tried going to a Jewish Student Organization on my college campus but they were so cringey and alien in my perception I never went. Maybe if I stayed things would be different.

Two years later, now I find myself more embracive of Buddhist principles and philosophy.


I wish I could write up a neat ending but there isn't one, and perhaps won't ever be. Every day is different and changes one, even if in the most minute amount.


This is my story so far anon, at 20 years old. I hope it met your expectations

>psychiatric help
Relatively new thing that militaries didnt have time or money to care about in the largest war the world has ever seen

>>1801861
So they just left them to deal with it themselves?

>>1801865
I doubt it was something that happened very often with infantry. Maybe with artillery or airstrikes, where it could be feasibly easy to kill allies
Also there was a fuck huge war going on
Also no one cared about mental illness/psychiatry until much later
Even now it sits on the backburner
Also I doubt kids who shot their fellow soldiers would say anything about it, if it was on purpose at all
Also men didnt talk about their feelings n shit until recently

Civil War when Hitler dies between various factions

Forever, their energy manipulating telepathic Super-Men will be able to fulfill every wish of the Immortal Chancellor Adolf Hitler. How these quasi-divine beings came into being is explained via the same methods a German victory came to be sometime in 43-44.

It's quite possible they could have defeated Russia if you tweak things a little-no delay in Barbarossa, no Kiev pocket, little bit better supply situation. They were within 11 miles of Moscow.

>Christians don't believe that God can answer prayers

Anyone who denies this isn't a Christian.

I think you mean

>there are Christians who don't believe that God CHOOSES to answer prayers

that's true. it's also not in accordance with Christian theology.

>clergy discourage prayer as a means to obtain/achieve a result

This has been standard advice going back to the foundations of Christianity. To know why, you have to read the two verses before Mark 11:24 that you quoted.

>22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Such gifts from God are only granted to those with perfect faith.


You don't know what you're talking about.

Communism never worked because autists changed Marx's theory in an attempt to force it without the required prerequisites.

Communism can only come through Capitalism, it's not an alternative but rather a proposed end result.

Murder is wrong.
Rape is wrong.
Stealing is wrong.
Lieing is wrong.
Causing suffering is wrong.
To stray from God's light is wrong.
To stray from natural law is wrong.
To stray from man's law is wrong.

These are all moral statements.

To say "utilitarism is wrong" or "virtue ethics is wrong" (for instances) is not to make a moral statement but to make a statement on morality, a second order claim.
