who cares dude, we'd have colonised the galaxy by now

This is a great chart. I think it pretty clearly shows the problem with modern atheism. It evolved directly from Protestantism, which holds that there is a God and the earth is meaningless.
Atheists lost the "god" part but inherited the "earth is meaningless" part from Protestants.

It's time to come full circle. The earth is all we have. This should affirm the value of life, not destroy it.

I'm sure if Christianity never existed, modern belief systems (even atheism) would be far more life affirming and fulfilling.

Maybe not the perfect example, but watch "The Last Kingdom" for a broad idea

The Anglo-Saxons were eternally depressed Christians.

The Vikings were moderately less depressed, and often not Christian.

>>1658381
Before the Anglo Saxons adopted Christianity, no real difference except the gods are names slightly differently.
After Christianity, still very similar but the English called the Norse dirty pagans a lot.
They fought in the same manner and used the same weapons and armour.

you have 10 seconds to explain how this is any different from someone like Lenin plastering his face all over Russia in propaganda poster, building statues of himself, and formenting a cult of personality

Either Israel kicks all Arabs out of West Bank and Gaza Strip, or they accept an one-state solution where Palestinians are given Israeli citizenship.

Two-state solution is inviable.

I would give religious authorities a chance

A one state secular nation.
Better yet, never draw straight lines in the sand in the first place

Yes, who wouldn't want to molest handsome little boys or have sex with your own family?

It doesn't really hurt them so why ban it?

>>1661338
Are you somehow implying those are more taboo in Christian countries than non-Christian ones?

Yes, modern "liberated" females and """free love""" is way better and healthier for our society, certainly not degenerate at all.

So Australian Abbos are English?

>>1658048

Pretty much.

>>1658048
They've undergone a certain level of Anglicisation that's for certain, but for most of them they either also retain (or even only speak) their native languages. Furthermore, many of them retain so much of the rest of their culture and lifestyle that it outweighs the foreign language.

And for argument's sake actual ethnic groups should be compared, aboriginal isn't an ethnicity, it's a racial group.

I would imagine they did.

Their heads were filled with spooks

>>1654416
They did puke their guts out. Also every platoon had at least 1 veteran in it to set a good example and prove that you could survive

Christ was the most morally good man to walk this earth.

My mother owns a Don Quixote edition from 1617. I expect to get a nice figure out of that.

Darwin's done more damage than Marx.

>>1657986
Killing Darwin just makes it so someone else figures out evolution.

Shi'a believe in the imamah, which appoints Ali ibn Abi Talib as the spiritual successor of Muhammad, and follows his progeny, referred to as the Ahlul Bayt.

Sunni believe in the caliphate and the traditions (Sunnah) of Muhammad as per Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and (as the fourth Rightly-Guided Caliph) Ali ibn Abi Talib.

I can answer any other specific questions you might have, as I'm probably not getting any sleep tonight.

>>1656110
Shia is basically persian islam

>>1656127
Actually, Persians can be found in both schools.

Imam Ghazali, Sheikh an-Nasa'i, Bukhari, and many other Sunni theologians are in fact Persian. Though, I agree the current power base of Shi'a Islam is in Iran.

The concept of an "Aryan race" is a meme.

>>1651421
I'm aware, what I was wondering was why Slavs aren't considered aryan when Indians and Persians are. Did they not descend form Central Asian Indo-European people?

>>1651452
I think the point anon was trying to make is there is little reason behind the concept of the Aryan race. Trying to decipher why Slavs aren't considered Aryan is like trying to decipher why crazy people say gibberish.

What are you talking about? Most of /his/ is communist because intellectuals always think they are going to be the nomenklatura in a communist state.

Cooperatives and employee owned enterprises exist in capitalism (Publix etc), you don't need to fuck up the entire planet to achieve it.

For me it's just it's constant failures that make me not like it.

>it'll work this time guys! I promise! Forget the other dozen times it's been tried!

I'd rather not shit up my country or have anyone else do it to theirs to "see if it works this time".
