God creates the world and a paradise and within in it, a tree from which he forbade he creations from partaking of its fruit. But they do so anyways, and are cast from paradise.
A descendant of this man passes by a tree, and expects there to be fruit for him to eat, but and finds it without fruit. He then curses the tree for not having any fruit for him to take, and wishes that no one else may eat fruit from this tree either.
God then kills the tree.
What does this parable say about man?

>26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

I hear a lot from my leftist friends that Hitler was actually good for Germany prior to the war, the things like instating unions and building highways. Is this just an overblown and perpetuated meme, or did Hitler actually do a lot of good for his country? My knowledge of WW2 is extremely sparse, my school decided to focus on our country's(Australia's) involvement rather than teaching us something more macro.
I can't help but feel it's people trying to be contrarian and say he was kind of a good guy.

Because people don't just pick a form of government on if they work or not but how well it works and treats its own population?
Having Absolute Monarchs that in theory at least own their own population don't work well with modern ideals of freedom and stuff.

Why does everyone goes crazy about WW2, yet no one gives a shit about WW1?
Is it because Americans were barely involved in it and couldn't take the credit for the victory?

Pretty much. Also there isn't as clear of a good/evil distinction between the belligerents and trench warfare was boring af.

Were Romans socialists? High taxes for welfare, Caesar leaving money for every citizen of Rome after he died, free water from aqueducts.

A huge socialist principle is distribution of wealth to the lower classes. That's what the Romans did.

Weren't most of the citizens of Rome jobless and living on state handouts? What time period might this have been accurate?

Manifest destiny, strong colonial / expansionist mindset that lead to the settling of the frontier, Louisiana purchase, and killing lots and lots of injuns to make room for more settlers.

How is it possible to believe in the divinity of Christ but not in Mary?

It's impossible. Proddies are too stupid to live.
>>
>>1059590
What do you mean by "believing?" I don't think there's a single (mainstream) Christian who doesn't believe Mary existed or that she was the virgin mother of Jesus.
The issue that people take contention with is whether that qualifies her to be prayed to for intercession or not. And that's not really a Mary-exclusive thing, that's more to do with veneration of the Saints in general.

I dont understand, why would mary be divine?

Today 39 years ago the world's greatest World Power was defeated by a bunch of jungle dwelling pajama wearers.
They did great in the frontlines, but they lost at home, with soldiers being spit on by their own country when they have returned home.
How the fuck did this happen /his/?
Also I want to know more about the american allies that participated in this war.
