>history is a class struggle
Is there any merit to this statement?

Yes, once you stop looking at it as a normative claim.

What about the parts where the castes or classes aren't united fronts and aren't really fighting that much?

What do you mean?

>Think of your favorite foreign food.
>Think of the number of the month you were born

You are now the leader of the country that produces that food during the century corresponding to your birth month.

How do you feel and what do you do?

In theory, could Queen Elizabeth dissolve Parliament right now if she really wanted to?

Nihilism is the rejection of delusion, and delusion is fundamental to being human. Only a few sad rationalists will ever truly adopt it

Nihilism is a choice. You choose to have purpose in life.

If America is the modern day Rome then does that make Britain the modern day Greece?

>Greatest empire in the world until it became partitioned
>Iconic infantry (redcoats and hoplites)
>Unified several smaller nations and states
>Ahead of the rest of the world in art, literature and science
>America (Rome) was directly influenced by Britain's (Greece's) culture
>Some of the greatest writers, poets and scientists in history
>Laid the foundations for modern Western civilisation

I also guess Russia would be Persia, the old rival in the east.

The term 'British Isles' was only coined in 1577 by John Dee.

Also, the northernmost point in Ireland is in County Donegal.

Share all your favorite history podcasts or youtube channels! I've just started listening to The History of Rome podcast and I'm enjoying it. Historypodcasters.com has a lot of good stuff to.

Personally I'd love anything to do with Spain or the Spanish Empire.

Currently listening to a long series (~20 parts) on the Meiji restoration. Really good, i only have a casual interest in japanese history but he repeats stuff a lot so its easy to follow.

The history of japan podcast
>>
>>869260
Listen to what this guy said, history of Japan by Isaac Meyer is fantastic

Laszlo Montgomery's History of China is also a good one.

>>869165
I'm literally listening to that right now. I think this is my 3rd listen. It's a life saver at work.

If you had the chance to gain eternal happiness, that is, an existence from there-on-out of only happiness and no worries. Would you go for it?
I mean, would you give up lifes ups and downs, knowing that you would be absolutely happy that way? I don't want to argue about what your personal definition of happiness is, the way the total bliss is achieved doesn't matter in this. I am talking about the achieved state/feeling of happiness with an eternal duration (imagine a fairy wish or somesort of everlasting drug). This could mean that you just freeze in your tracks and never move again: no boredom, no regrets, no worries, no reason to change anything, no reason to think or talk, because nothing bothers you and there is nothing more to gain. why would you say 'no'?

No, you can't know true happiness without true sadness, you can't know light without darkness. You can't know life without death.
>>
>>877638
I think that this could be argued. What if someone gained eternal life and after billions of years forgot what death means. Would that person not be still alive?
>>
>>877596
Yes, that's why I am a born again Christian. That is exactly the existence I expect to receive in the new earth. Dualism is for godless people.

How do Christian reconcile the fact that the devil is never once mentioned in the Old Testament and is only dubiously supported by the New Testament with their belief in the devil? There's nothing to indicate that the snake in the Garden of Eden was anything more than a trickster animal, a common trope in mythology.

Hello grandson.

Christians always misunderstand that in Jewish cosmology, Satan is an angel who was appointed by God himself to tempt and test humans. He was never cast from Heaven, he never fell, he's not 'evil', as he's merely following God's commands.

According to Jewish belief, anyways.

Catholics believe that the Bible is an imperfect document and that tradition should also inform them on their spiritual lives.

Leviticus 18:22

>Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

Leviticus 20:13

>If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable

Corinthians 6:9-10

>Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.


It is OK to be gay if you only feel attraction to men but don't act on your attraction. There is a big Catholic gay group that argues this.

Half plagued by Plebbits, half plagued by pseudo-theologians or failed historians. Neither of which seem to be putting forth a reasonable and completely unbiased arguments without throwing racial or sexual slurs. Truthfully, it is my fault for scouring Internet forums for intelligible discussions.
