No, it's based on feelings.

try reading Alister E McGrath's "Theology: The Basics", that should give you a decent understanding of it.

>>1514189
You have to accept the basic premise otherwise the rest of it is worthless.

They actually did it but they've covered it up.

>>1514099
Lol k

>>1514099
lol. I'm being serious though, how would people react to Britain essentially committing genocide in order to win a war? Would Churchill be the "Hitler" of a post-Vegetarian world?

I wonder how many deities and religious systems were abandoned because of this man.

>>1514113
All the heretics.

>>1514113
Well, the greco-romans had hundreds if not thousands of deities and countless spirits and such that they paid homage to. The celts, germans, dacians, thracians, scythians, sarmatians, slavs, etc all had deities and spirits that they worshiped as well. So in other words, quite a lot of religions were destroyed by the triumph of christfaggotry, which is one more damn good reason to hate that faith.

>Has there been any period in Western history when thinness was an ideal of beauty?
All periods.

But that isn't congruent with the fact that whites have a stronger genetic risk of obesity than other races.

WE WUZ FAT AND SHIET

Both

Anyone who says product could potentially be right in as much as they are speaking for themselves since a perspective so hopelessly primitive might as well have exclusively material origins.

>not knowing of Boltzmann brain or Spinoza's System of the universe


also try to observe nature more closely next time....


here is a snippet as to what you may encounter:
There's something about ants.

They do all kind of things that we consider intelligent and at the same time we fail to recognize such things as actual intelligence due to our fixation with brain size. Ants build cities, functional cities that adress structural needs, if the anthill isn't properly build, it fails and collapses, how can the ants supervise the structure?

Many things about ants are strange, they have self preservation insticts, they can work as a single individual, but they choose or are forced to work as society, with many of the elements that we find in a human society, division of labor, nurseries, and a military force, that does the double task of defending against external threats and to maintain an internal peace.

How do they know all of this?

The common explanaition is genetic memory, a genetic memory extremely complex that's available to every ant, but I'm inclined to think that there's more to it, I believe that they devised a way to pass knowledge from generation to generation, and to improve upon said knowledge.

The only reason to not believe in this, is to believe that their brains aren't complex enough, but I think that we don't really understand how their brains work, or what they're really capable of.

I'm more butthurt about Majorian than probably any other figure in history and I'm not even a Latin.

I reserve my right to be autistic.

Well done, Majorian, well done

HOWEVER

>is there any way the Nazi state couldve existed peacefully?
that would have gone against their philosophy somewhat, to the point where they needed to start shit or lose enough credibility to die from that.

I'm pretty sure "Lebensraum" was always on Hitler's mind from the start

The Hossbach memorandum from 1937 talks about gaining more living space. However, it doesn't mention a planned attack on Poland. He only discusses briefly whether Poland would attack the Reich from the rear in case of a conflict with the Western Allies.

Literally the prototypical redditor.

Now, Ambrose Bierce was a complete madman and went out like one

>I mean quality banter, not just rampant shitposting.
>pic related
But Voltaire WAS a rampant shitposter. Other than shitposting, he never wrote or said anything of value. Even his famous Candide, remembered as an epic in favor of Free Speech or whatever, only existed to spit in Leibniz's face.

I don't really think you understand history at all.

>>1513637
I have no clue who you are arguing with but I'm sure both of you are simplifying things in great excess for no other benefit than presentation to 13 year old red board memers

it won't kill you to aim a little higher

I'm confused. What are you arguing?

>>1513628

I suspect that "in God's image" was man's narcissism. God has no need for human form.

>>1513628
this might have been one of the parts that was actually metaphorical

it might refer to intelligence, qualia or some such

>>1513644
isn't god like much more intelligent than human?
And how comes he has a mind that would fit a hunter gatherer living in small groups?

Because this isn't a university????
Also just say where you study at mate.
It helps when you elaborate how you learn it at your "top" university.

Server IP is intcraft.lunas.host

What time zone does the host/playerbase typically run on?

that castle is ugly lol

Of course I could. I don't know about you, but I definitely have it in me to slay a man. Heh, its what were made to do, you know...

You need to be more specific. I don't think I could just kill a man for no reason, but how it's done would certainly effect whether or not I could.

>>1513543

Technically you kill lots of people through inaction.

How much of your personal wealth could you have set aside to feed starving people?

Personally, I don't care and feel fine with killing people through inaction as I drink alcohol that could have been spent on rescuing refugees.

White men still are vicious savage animals.
