>"[Carthage] each day produced one hundred and forty finished shields, three hundred swords, five hundred spears, and one thousand missiles for the catapults... . Furthermore, [Carthage although surrounded by the Romans] built one hundred and twenty decked ships in two months... for old timber had been stored away in readiness, and a large number of skilled workmen, maintained at public expense."[97]

That is some impressive production.
Do we know anything about the quality and structure of those ships?

Because Nazi ruined their country and nobody is retarded enough to follow their example?

>Then the Nazis took this ideology a little further and then all of a sudden everyone wanted to do a 180 and become tolerant

Well, what exactly happened when the Nazis took it "a little further"?

Also, imperialism and scientific racism, while more common were not universally supported.

McNamara was basically a giant autist. He was a logistics man, who could calculate how to produce cars the best or calculate where to hit to destroy German industry the fastest. What he couldn't calculate however, was how to break the will of a few thousand starving Vietnamese Peasants.

Ruler back then were all related. Look up the rulers of ww1. It's like a family feud. Dynasties were kings back then. And They tried to instal their family on the thrones of other countries.

Because he was neutral and as such,would do his job better than the local Slavic chieftains.

Also,it has been proven that the male descendants of Rurik are predominately of Balto-Finnic stock.

>-He writes that learned men should find it absurd to believe that the God who created the world, who describes himself as being "jealous", would content to confine himself to caring for a small tribe in Palestine while letting all races besides the Jews worship false gods for thousands of years and not appear to them as well.


At least for this point, if you start from the perspective of believing the Bible (which Julian seems to do) he does. You have guys like Balaam, and the "Mixed multitude" that hung out with the Hebrews, and all sorts of people like Melchitzedek or Job, who also seem to be worshipers of the Abrahamic God, unconnected with Israel, and seem to have some idea of what's going on.

> It appears that, even back then, this was very evident.

It would probably be even more evident, since there were considerable living traditions of Jewish practice right up in peoples faces.

>One last interesting thing Julian asked: how did the snake learn human speech for it to tempt Eve and Adam?

Given the mode of prophetic contact in the OT (I.e., if you're not Moses, it's all some dream or vision) and the Garden story features direct "conversation" with god, you've probably got some sort of dream/vision/mystic quest thing as opposed to a literal snake and a literal fruit.

The Christians at the time held the Old Testament - including the Genesis - to have been literal. Julian even points out as one of his criticisms that it is ridiculous how Christians hold the Genesis to be literal account despite its fantastical nature and its problematic nature.

Most Christians always thought of the Genesis as literal up until the 19th century. While I know some people will try to refute this by telling me one of the influential Church theologians (was it Polycarp or Aquinas?) said it was metaphorical, this view was very much an individual one, and, because the Church establishment has never been a democracy, ultimately irrelevant - the Church held the Genesis and its events as having been literal occurrences, only backpedaling once the view became ridiculous in the light of scientific developments.

There even are some Christians to this day who believe in Genesis as a literal account.

the surrounding peoples in Canaan probably also worshipped YHVH, we know for sure some in Edom did at least. this probably also has to do with the merger of YHVH and El. Melchitzedek for instance was a priest of "El Shaddai". interesting Ezekiel mentions Danel as a rightious man, someone we know of from a text found at Ugarit, who had a story involving El, though honestly I've forgotten the details.

because stalin, maduro, and kim jong un are not real socialists
t. every underage communist in the west

so, we both know that the commune fell due to outside forces. you ask if the commune would've worked on a grander scale. assuming the grander scale means that the commune's ideology takes hold of all possible military threats to the commune, we can assume that yes, the commune would've succeeded, because the factor that led to its demise was removed.

>>1449558
I mean if the commune spread out to all of France, for example.
A Communist France, if you will. Since all that shit started by force (let's ignore the Franco-Prussian war), if the new system (the same used on Paris, but on a national scale) started to falter, wouldn't that lead to a counter-revolution to make things like they were before? Would the population, who was used to the capitalistic system, accept it? How long would this system be sustainable?

>>1449435
We're able to draw distinctions between imagination and reality.

You're Gods dream

>>1449435
Define 'dream'.

Because most all abrahamic religions draw a line between the created (i.e: everything but God), and the uncreated. So, you could certainly say we are a dream perpetuated by the will of the one God.

Not before it creates virtual reality where all who tried to stop its creation would be tortured for all eternity.

>>1449535
Why would it do that thought? Why would it do anything?

>>1449368
If reincarnation is real and and AI dies does it reincarnat? It's a being physical consciousness. That is reincarnation is possible if not then would the AI go the same "place" we do when we die?

Does it count if a country outlaws a certain religion and then kills someone for converting to that religion?
Because I know there was a guy in my Country who became a martyr when he converted from Protestantism to Catholicism since Catholicism was outlawed in my country at that time.

What does that even mean?

Not really, if you're drawing sigils in your basement trying to summon succubus, "love" won't make it happen any more than hate would. Wishful thinking is just that, and allows you to produce mental gymnastic sufficient to take meaning from inane arcana and lies.

Did Rome not already invent roads before its empire? I am sure they spread it to Europe but did they invent it during the empire.
