In Christianity, God made creation out of love, especially for the angels and for humanity, whom he he made in his image.
Islam, afaik, God made creation for no reason except that he desired worship (Quran 51:56)
Can any Muslim correct me if I'm wrong?
Also, in Christianity, God loves you first, and then you love him back, but in Islam (iirc) God only loves you in return for your love. Is this the case?
>>1318373
i don't know much about islam, buti would like to remind you that christians have a whole angel order(seraphims?) devoted to praying God and his greatness.

Who /ancestry/ here?
Post how far back you've got, and anything interesting.

My oldest relative is some German merchant from the 1600s or sth if I recall correctly, his descendants migrated through Russia to Finland
16th Century German merchant somewhere in Bavaria

I found an ancestor from 1500's England by the name of Matilda Sowell. Turns out that he might've be semi-illiterate since his surname is different from an older generation. I would have to contact my family who actually have the records and looked through this.
Who fucked up to allow this to happen?
>>1317636
No one allowed it. Iranians and Chinks are just weak. Same goes for Russians.
>>1317636
Agriculturalists, obviously.
Agriculturalists have the capacity to outperform nomads in every way but that doesn't mean they always do.

Gengis Khan a very clever military leader and the cavalry of the Mongolian troops were very efficient.
However, the signnificant lack of cummunication - due to the era - inside the borders of the empire led to its destruction.
Both were some of the original cradles of civilization, regional superpowers in ancient history, and massive population centers in modern history.
So why is India such a backwater place whilst China is the rising star of the world?
What made these two ancient civilizations so different that they created two vastly different nations nowadays?

India has a lot of potential but I swear that Hindi religion is fucking them over

Disclaimer: Ignore irrelevant details like "China is the oldest civilization" and focus on the overall conclusion once you've seen the whole video.
But basically India is too decentralized and the central state is relatively powerless compared to the chinese one. I don't find myself prepared to judge if it would be possible to have a more centralized system, probably not, India is very diverse and the indian states zealous of their privileges.

Holy shit. I just read this guy's wikipedia page and I am in love with him. Am I missing something? The dude basically seems like asian George Washington.

His military record is nothing to brag about.
Basically managed to preserve Singapore by sucking US dick.

Didn't he do Ti*nanm*n Sq?
>>1319700
A lot.
He cooperated with the IJA to feed his family, went to Britain to study law and came back a ruthless materialist who did literally anything to get his way.
He had no qualms cooperating with the communists, only to sell them out when he got what he wanted. He refused to listen to the team of economists he put together when he wanted his way, and would regularly sue anyone who criticized him. He also arrested a bunch of Catholics in the 70s under trumped up charges.
Singapore today is a corporate paradise and the PAP remains in power relatively unchallenged. It is also my belief that the TPP will fuck Singapore over, though that's a given.(The Worker's Party in Singapore is just the PAP in red shirts. Fuck them.)
George Washington fucking stood up for Benedict Arnold. Sure, he probably wasn't the sort of general who could lead a standing army, but even I'd rather have GWash over Lee.
Is there a reason why North Amrica's borders aren't pic related? That should solve everyone's problems.

Dixieland? I think you mean "Haiti 2: Slave Revolt Boogaloo"
Because British troops slapped the US for trying to take their territory in the north?

Too bad that sounds like extremely interesting alternate history.

Omdurman. Probably the most one sided in history.
How aware were German soldiers of the "moral" implications of fighting for Germany? I don't want to be a "bad guys and good guys of history" sort of poster, but I mean did most German soldiers share a hatred of jews? How were they convinced that the allies were the enemy/convinced to fight if Germany were accused as being the aggressors?
Was it pride and hype? Would you say there were many just fighting for their homeland and little else?
>>1319717
The easiest thing to do here is to just go read Requiem for a German Past. The situation is too complex to explain on 4Chan and there were a lot of nuances for individuals vs. the nation as a whole.
I would say that two broad types could be seen. There were guys who were seemingly mainly fighting for their country and fellow soldiers, and guys who fed into the ideology/propaganda and fought for that. There's more to it than that though and its difficult to make broad generalizations because everyone had their own reasons for fighting.

Who were your favorite Civilization from antiquity (4000 BCE - 500 CE)? Mine were the Hittites, primarily because of their uniforms and rivalry with the New kingdom.
The later Roman Empire.
Celtic aesthetics are pretty nice. Close to nature, but nevertheless cultured.
Tie Between the Indus Valley Civilization, The Minoans and the Sarmatians.
The indus valley civilization due to their masterwork technology and innovation on a time most cultures had barely come off of the stone age.
Minoans because of their peaceful ways and exquisite art, they were also europe's very first civilization and one of the most technologically and societally advanced of their time. All without being involved in a single major war, indeed a life in minoan crete was, for the standards of the time, one of pure bliss.
Sarmatians because they are METAL AS FUCK, i mean seriously have you read the archaeological findings and greek accounts on them? Their entire culture could easily fit on one of Robert E. Howard's Hyborian books. Scalpings, drinking the blood of their defeated enemies on "cups" fashioned from their skulls, brutal human sacrifice and drug induced trances.... Heck they were almost the real life equivalent of the armies of mordor and yet people talk so few about them and prefer to overrate meme vikings and other more cliché barbarians.
This isn't a computer.
This is a human.
In his earliest stage.
Just like a human is a computer in his earliest stage. We aren't evolved enough yet to be one and the same but we'll there. Hopefully in our lifetime.

Does that mean breaking a computer is murder?

Well I mean it wasn't for nothing. It got rid of a lot of shitty political families that ran the show.
Does it mean "day" or "age"?
>>1327528
Day.
A 24 hour period.
It means that pretty much everywhere else. Why would genesis be different?
Day

What difference would it make if it meant age? Everything is still in the wrong order
