Did you not get the answer you wanted last time?

Go ask your fucking priest instead of shit posting such low quality "contributions."

Because a great sociopolitical, and historical event.

You could ask the same of WWI, or WW2 for most western countries today.

Are you mentally retarded, or do you just lack imagination?

>>1109620
We have firm documentary evidence in genres steeped in facticity that WWI and WWII both occurred.

We have a mythology with no firm connection to actuality for the Trojan War.

It was the Great War of that time

Tax exemption or money landering.

To be fair christies mostly sells older art simply cause larger output over 1000+ years.

For every hitler sculpture sold for 17 million there's 1,000 more paintings sold by dutch,french,italian masters for a few hundred $ to a few million a pop.

It's not that people don't like older art anymore, of course its nice to buy for prestige but you'll hear more about this then anything else.

Everything is art
Therefore, nothing is art

Forgot to put into OP but no bullshit from that inaccurate piece of shit movie.

Are you from the 19th Century?

The creation of the UN for one. The establishment of a global forum for airing diplomatic disputes. While it was gimped to a considerable degree with the aspect of an unconditional VETO for all members of the Security Counsel, it was the only way that both the US senate and the USSR would agree to participate.

The establishment of collective security agreements to dissuade aggression. NATO for the west. The Warsaw Pact for the East.

The vigilant preparedness for war is another. Maintaining large peace-time forces and amassing vast stockpiles of nuclear weapons. As well as the establishment of air-fields and military bases all over the world for rapid deployment of force wherever it may be deemed needed.

>>1109430
>Europe
>Bases and airfields all over the World
You mean the US.

Europe was busy getting kicked the fuck out of their colonies.

>>1109446
Fair enough.

My post was more about the facets of the established post-WW2 international order that has maintained the peace in Europe rather than what EUROPEANS did specifically.

Since when you get down to it the peace in Europe was maintained in large part by the active policy of the US. What "Europe" did to maintain the peace is a silly question because it ignores arguably the most substantial variable in the equation.

I'm probably closest to Hume, reading his philosophy, I come across ideas I've had independantly, but he framed them better than I could.
He also enjoyed history and living a pleasant life and was a bit of an underachiever academically.

Perhaps Zoroastrianism and the Abrahamic faiths are so similar because Zoroaster and Abraham were the same person. It's possible his teachings became corrupted by the cultures he preached to.

>>1109272
Abraham didn't preach Christian eschatology, and neither did Zoroastrianism until hundreds of years after the advent of Christianity..

>>1109289

I never mentioned Christian eschatology. I was referring to what became Judaism.

Dawkins was directly involved with the whole intelligent design issue before writing this book.

>>1109204
America has MANY people that do BELIEVE (really believe) in God in the Judeo-Christian or Islamic tradition. The problem is not the 'run of the mill' atheist being uncomfortable with their atheism, but politicians who are atheists being unwilling to admit to their atheism. They wouldn't get elected.

>>1109204
>but politicians who are atheists being unwilling to admit to their atheism. They wouldn't get elected.
As opposed to the "secular-humanistic havens" of Latin America and Romania, that did elect non-believers without a hitch?

>>1109188
In an incredibly subjective sense, provided that you hold such a stupidly concrete concept of perfection that a catholic might.

>>1109195
And that you're already willing to give both the idea of perfection and god the benefit of the doubt. Though it ought to be perfectly goddamn well obvious (finite brain you apes) that both are impossible to us by the nature which we coin them.

>>1109188
The thought exists as a thought but the thing you're thinking of does not have to exist in the natural world. Shit argument.

Stairs and ladders were already in use by the time of proto-cities, so I'd guess they started outdoors as augmentations for difficult or significant trails

aye we were heroes meboy, fiddledeeheehee

why are angels such irresponsable creatures

>>1108602
Nephelim.

And it's not specific enough on what "Sons of God, Sons of Man" means for it to be Angels, but one can infer that because Angels are immaterial and finite in power that they cannot mate with humans and as such, weren't the Sons of God. Personally I think Sons of God are ensouled Humans and Sons of Man are some soulless other species of extinct hominid, and the declaration of 120 year max lifespans by God is an explanation for humanity's longevity being shortened by breeding with a genetically inferior species.

>>1108602
Yes the first fall which was the rebellion by Satan and the second fall which happened when god cast down the angels who laid with the daughters of man creating the nephilim a breed of giants who consumed everything, including people. It is also speculated that Goliath was a descendent of this race.

The government/monarchy during the Bourbon Restoration. I don't get why it's so ignored, there's lots to make drama about.

>family of the murdered king and queen return to the throne
>have to balance between the desires of this new generation of the French and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy
>Marie Antoinette's daughter exhibits signs of PTSD and alienates the new court
>one of the family member is publicly murdered

etc
