How do we make religion more appealing to atheists?
Religion is for those too weak to believe in the self.
I include communism and fascism as "religions" btw.
Evidence and reason.

If we take any fiction, any holy book.. in a thousand years time that wouldn't come back just as it was. Whereas if you took every science book, every fact, and destroyed them all in a thousand years they'd all be back because all the same tests would be the same result.
I think Tibetan Buddhism will be the religion of the future.
No other tradition will be able to perform this role. Thoughts?
What makes you think this?
>>3254126
Because people will seek detachment from a world that will no longer make sense to them.
>>3254146
Some find that Buddhism does not clarify anything, however. That may be why it has not taken hold on a large scale.
Did the people of the 18th century have the best fashion sense
>>3254013
I like 17th better, but muh schmuh
I'd say around mid 1700s to early 1900s is the peak in all of history.

Was Scythians were actually Persian or were they was Turkic?
From what i seen their culture was pretty similar to Turkic culture while having no realy relevance to Persian culture but sources keeps saying they were Persians so i wonder
>>3253892
They were Persian/Iranian peoples.
>>3253892
No shit they have no relevance to Persian culture. Not every Iranic culture is Persian.
Jesus that's LA Iranian Immigrant "I'm Persian, not Eye-ranian!" logic.
>>3253892
They were related to the Persians but had a completely different culture due to where and how they lived.
Is it wrong to say the United States of America was built on stolen land, genocide, and slavery?
>>3253782
It's not genocide if you do it unintentionally.
>>3253782
Nope.
t. american
No. What's wrong is to imply that the United States is unique in this regard.
Let's settle this once and for all. What race were the ancient egyptians? No pol answers please.
i;m thinking about thos pharohs
>>3253532
The same people that live in Egypt now, stop with these shitty racebait threads it's ruining this board. Who fucking cares faggot
Can we agree that Americans were the bad guys in the Pacific War?
>>3253505
That was literally the only theatre in which Americans were the good guys.
>>3253516
They really werent tho
Americans literally genocided millions of Japs civilians by purpotedly targeting them in thousands of firebomb raids from 1942 to 1945
Meanwhile, Japs never once bombed an US city
>>3253505
No, because us Americans won WW2 along with our other allies, and thus, us Americans deserve the right to be called the good guys since we wrote the history. And the winners, who are also good guys, write the history. So before you come on here with your little Jap cartoons sympathizing for losers, you should probably redirect yourself to /pol/ since they seem to worship the losers more often there than the winners here, who of course, as I said before, writes the history.
See what I'm saying here, kiddo? This board is for winners, not losers. So uh, nothin' personell or anything but you're on the wrong board.
Did subsaharans ever develop a calendar? Did they have a concept of time?

Thanks for triggering my autism op, this another ones of those clips I'm going to watch for a loop on hours on end while smoking weed trying to autistically analyze every frame and trying to feel as if I was actually there.
Man why don't they make awesome epics about the ancient world like this any more.
Memes aside, what's the real problem with scientism?
>>3253179
It doesn't go far enough.
The conflict is between Christianity (american) and science. Christianity is dying swine in the west and a cornered animal always lashes out.
>>3253179
Scientists have their own biases
Educate me on the portuguese, what did they do? I just know they discovered Brazil obviously, they were big slave traders and they pussied out of both world wars. Also fought Spain a bunch of times and won, right? What else? Is there anything worth noting or are they just Europe's underachieving son?
>>3253012
They were a great seafaring empire, especially in Asia.
>>3253012
Other piece of land that the english stole from the spanish just like Gibraltar.
>>3253012
They were the first period of the Papal Empire
>studying philosophy instead of theology
the only time philosophy should be studied is if its a primer for some theological work
>>3252854
Using logic to search for truth>Using logic to prove what you have already decided is true
>philosophy
>theology
>when there is science
Theology assumes the endpoint as it's start, and thus cannot progress.

He was pretty stupid, but then he wasn't remarkable in that regard. He was a pleb tier conquistador, nothing like based Cortes or Pizarro.

How are Gypsies seen in National Socialism? Did any fight for the Axis? Please give me an answer that's not a Jewish lie!
>>3252458
Everyone hates gypsies, including national socialists.
Only good thing Hitler did was trying to get rid off the Gypsies
>>3252458
The Roma were considered subhuman and were right under the Jews in terms of proscription to the concentration camps. However, most continental governments of the time had an unfavorable view of the so-called 'gypsies' and often killed or oppressed them wherever possible.
