Why do Irish and Scots look very different from other celtic people, such as those of France or northern Spain?
Did the red hair and freckles phenotype come from the preceltic inhabitants of the British isles or did the continental celts lose these features through admixture with other groups?
Celtic is a group of similar languages not a phenotype.
Those traits are Neanderthal sourced.

because religious/political/ethnic minorities get percieved as a neusance, competition and/or threat by religious/political/ethnic majorities, and responding to such with intolerance, discrimination and violence are basic human behavioral patterns

Why did the Royal Navy perform so poorly against Japan, yet meme Italy into oblivion?
Distance and enemy's competence/experience.
>>1769208
Think about where Japan is in relation to Britain. Then think about where Italy is in relation to Britain.
>>1769208
Britain is closer to Italy. Japan was more competent than Italians. Also leftover expeditionary forces tend to be shit.

i'd like to discuss the nature of genesis 6:1-4
the nephilim, sons of God, daughters of men.. who were they?
>When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in[a] man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim[b] were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
OP here, it is my opinion that the nephilim were "the heroes of old, the men of renown"
i think the sons of God were righteous people who followed God, and the daughters of men were people who did not follow God, and i think the bible was referencing a point in time, where the world had NO culture of God because the righteous people (sons of God) were simply lusting after bad people (daughters of men) and the world became full of evil. the nephilim i believe are independent of the sons of God and the daughters of men having children. i believe the bible mentions the nephilim, saying that the world had very powerful famous tyrannical or legendary people at the time.
any ideas?
bump for bible discussion
anyone?

Could someone explain to me why most moral philosophers are moral realists despite most of them not being religious? How is secular morality not just a big game of pretend?
How does religion have anything to do with morality?
>>1763512
deists/theists say the universe has a rule set and part of that is morality
atheists pretend the universe doesnt have a rule set
>>1763541
That still doesn't explain a connection because believing in a god doesn't have anything to do with religion.
SO, it occurred to me that 100 years ago, at this time, my greatgrandfather was shittin himself in a trench somewhere on the Alps roughly 6 months before eventually getting killed.

It is agreed that Germany had the best tanks aside from the T-34, they mastered armor, and fire power. Towards the end of the war they started mass producing the Tiger 2, although not many were made, how did the "King Tiger" preform in battle? What were its weaknesses?
>>1755390
>It is agreed that Germany had the best tanks aside from the T-34
>>1755395
The T-34 fucked the Germans, it out gunned the Panzer 4 and could knock out a Tiger I by ramming it.
>>1755402
>could knock out a Tiger I by ramming it.
Was ramming even that common in WWII?
Why did, after WWII, Japan get off so easy compared to Germany despite committing so many atrocities themselves? Their emperor was allowed to remain head of state, and they were never instilled with a sense of guilt and self-hate.
Pic relates is a statue of Japanese fascist Nakano Seigo in Japan. It's like if Bucharest had a big statue of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu.
>>1765914
>Japan get off so easy compared to Germany
I'm sorry, did you just ignore the part where thousands of Japanese were burned alive by American firebombing, which those involved later admitted would have been considered a horrific war-crime if they had lost? They didn't get off easy at all.
