A military victory to boost his popularity in the Senate. The Roman Republican government valued civil service and military glory from their magistrates, and Crassus lacked the military record of his contemporary, Pompey.

Crassus had previously won victories at the Colline Gate and against Spartacus, but they were overshadowed by Sulla and Pompey, respectively.

Love is only important to those that consider it important to them. There are many other reasons to live
>for your family
>for your country
And if you lurk /pol/
>for your race
>for western civilisation
Decide for yourself what the purpose of your life should be.
If you don't feel the need to fall in love, there's nothing inherently wrong with that

It didn't.

Atheism was present in Indian and East Asian religious thinking. Especially the Latter since to the Chinese, the """""""Gods""""" were accepted as aloof of mortal concerns and that man must carry things in his own end (i,e, justice, morality, propriety etc.)

>Does this fact undermine the credibility of Christianity?
It goes to Christianity's credit for making people reasonable and stepping aside

>>1416262
Because Islam still lives in the middle ages. They kill everybody that claims to be an atheist.

Besides only atheists in USA are absolute edgy retards. Every atheist i met in Europe is just a normalfag and doesn't force his choice on religious people.
The prime minister of my country is atheist. Nobody gives a shit.

Hello.

Marcus Aurelius was an emperor and a philosopher.

In their original sense, the ruling class of Kallipolis didn't exist because Kallipolis didn't exist in the first place.

There was one in Athena I believe when Sulla was in power. I believed while the city was being sieged he stood at the gate singing means songs and generally being useless.

Right, I'm sure Germany was just avenging the Congolese, you fucking moron.

Not at all the point, fuckface. Belgium is hardly some sweet little country, they acted like big shots and got their asses burned when the shit heated up.

A meme country meets real life consequences.

German rule in Africa was as cruel if not more, just for different reasons. Also the infamous "belgian" atrocities are from the time when Leopold had Congo but the place was not part from Belgium.

Plato reformed education by eliminating the poets' monopoly over it and starting his own Academy.

Aristotle got empyrical, scientific thinking and the natural sciences underway.

Marx is too much deep into Plato's Cave to see that there is more to his predecessors' work than his own utopian dreams, political agitation, and apocalyptic final battle scenarios.

Jewish apocalyptic literature has a dualist approach to cosmology: Go(o)d vs (d)evil.

>The idea of a final triumph of God and His heavenly hosts over evil spirits also followed naturally, and kept pace with the development of the Jewish angelology. The "guardian angels" of Dan. ix.-xii., and the punishment of the "fallen stars," which occupies so much space in the Enoch literature, are only elaborations of beliefs which had already received distinct expression; compare Isa. xxiv. 21 et seq. (a most important passage), xxvii. 1; Ps. lxxxii.; Deut. xxxii. 8 (Greek); Job, xxxviii. 7, etc. The appearance of the evil spirit "Azazel" in Lev. xvi. 8 et seq. is proof that the names of angels and demons were in common use before the days of Daniel and Enoch.

>in I Chron. xxi. 1 he appears as one who is able to provoke David to destroy Israel. The Chronicler (third century B.C.) regards Satan as an independent agent, a view which is the more striking since the source whence he drew his account (II Sam. xxiv. 1) speaks of God Himself as the one who moved David against the children of Israel. Since the older conception refers all events, whether good or bad, to God alone (I Sam. xvi. 14; I Kings xxii. 22; Isa. xlv. 7; etc.), it is possible that the Chronicler, and perhaps even Zechariah, were influenced by Zoroastrianism, even though in the case of the prophet Jewish monism strongly opposed Iranian dualism (Stave, "Einfluss des Parsismus auf das Judenthum," pp. 253 et seq.). An immediate influence of the Babylonian concept of the "accuser, persecutor, and oppressor" (Schrader, "K. A. T." 3d ed., p. 463) is impossible, since traces of such an influence, if it had existed, would have appeared in the earlier portions of the Bible.

I forgot to add: I'm a Joo and I believe OP's familiarity with your Jewish background of the NT is severely lacking.

Zoroastrian dualistic tradition, it was copied by gnostics/manicheans, and this element was somewhat carried on to later Christianity, with Satan becoming a pseudo-Angra Mainyu.

You don't exist. Your life doesn't exist. Meaning requires existence to be meaningful. Aye?

your life means almost nothing

there you go

>>1415812
If you're not an influential person, it's almost impossible that you will be truly known or remembered after your death past 150 years. Your life doesn't matter and has no consequence.

It's pretty shit, read the books instead

In the sense that progress is an intangible ideal like God? I guess so. You have to prove that it's not an ideal that's sacrificing for, though.

No one believe in just 'progress' as an idea. They believe in ideas of progression towards the betterment of society in their view. They don't fetishize the concept of progress itself, but their own opinion on what progress means.

>>1415605
Progress doesn't exist. It's purely cyclical.

Dude. The slaughter of the Midianites (Num 31). The book of Joshua. The porn in Ezekiel. There's war, pillage, adultery (& rape & incest), and intrigue all over the OT. David sends Uriah into battle to be killed so he can have Bath Sheba to himself. The rape of Dinah. Jacob with his daughter in law Tamar.
It's an awesome piece of literature.

the bible?

Unironically the Bible, especially Acts and all the letters.
