Is she right?
>We do not allow oral contraceptives, which have always been prohibited by the Church, because they are a kind of abortion. We do allow the use of condoms in marriage, because we consider them just an advanced form of coitus interruptus. Did some Church Fathers dislike coitus interruptus? No, only Saint Augustine opposed it (all of the other quotes by them supposed opposing it are talking about oral contraceptives, or are by people not considered Church Fathers by the Orthodox Church--to be a Church father, you must be both a saint and not have taught heresy, so Roman Catholic Church Fathers are not necessarily the same as ours), but let's contrast his view with what Saint John Chrysostom says in On Marriage and Family Life: "If for a certain period, you and your wife have abstained by agreement, perhaps for a time of prayer and fasting, come together again for the sake of your marriage. You do not need procreation as an excuse. It is not the chief reason for marriage. Neither is it necessary to allow for the possibility of conceiving, and thus having a large number of children, something you may not want." But how can we affirmatively settle the matter as to whether the Church treated it as a sin? Very simple, we look at the penance manuals for confession for the first thousand years. Only one of them, Poenitentiale Hubertense, lists coitus interruptus as a sin, and we know that is due to a misunderstanding of biology--how do we know? Because it gives the penance time as *ten years*, which is what every manual gives for abortion; compare that to the ten to twenty days typically given for masturbation, or the three years generally prescribed for sodomy. Could married couples just not have sex if having more kids would put their family at risk of poverty? Yes, but it’s important for married couples to maintain a sex life as long as either of them has urges, as per 1 Corinthians 7:5.

What?
Also Catholics who use ANY BC are in the wrong as they by fucntion remove the natural outcome of sex from the equation and make it more about the pleasure of the couple than about the uniting act of bringing forth life through the love of Husband and Wife as Christ loves His Bride, The Church.

>The problem with this reasoning is that it avoids engaging with the issue at hand, and instead shifts attention to extreme hypotheticals. Because no proof is presented to show that such extreme hypotheticals will in fact occur, this fallacy has the form of an appeal to emotion fallacy by leveraging fear.

Read the example and then you'll understand, maybe.
if you have situation like - there's burning burning, firefighters put it down and then you want to check if its structural integrity wasn't fucked up then you're retard who does slippery slope
you're committing the fallacy if you want to check if the building is well prepared against flooding because since it was on fire now it may be flooded later because the building is totally cursed

The government is more or less forced to allow the KKK to exist because "muh free speech and assembly" and all that.
But why hasn't anyone just decided to shoot up a Klan rally? What reasonable jury would convict a man who kills Nazis in order to protect America?
Vigilantism is illegal because you're supposed to let the police and the courts take care of those things (muh due process) but in this case the government certainly is not going to do anything at all. The KKK is allowed to exist because the Constitution exists. Shouldn't American history be filled with vigilantes killing white supremacists in droves? After all, public opinion is anti-Klan, and who would raise a stink if someone murdered a bunch of Nazis in the woods in the middle of the night and the local municipality failed to properly investigate the incident? Nobody fucking likes Nazis.

They never really had much impact on the world beyond Cambodia and its immediate neighbors, which is why it tends to be under-appreciated except as a tourist attraction.
Angkor really was one of the most impressive cities in the pre-modern world though, if not the most impressive of all. All we see now is the bare skeleton of the city and it's still incredible.

https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/disbelieve-it-or-not-ancient-history-suggests-that-atheism-is-as-natural-to-humans-as-religion
>Despite being written out of large parts of history, atheists thrived in the polytheistic societies of the ancient world – raising considerable doubts about whether humans really are “wired” for religion – a new study suggests.
>The claim is the central proposition of a new book by Tim Whitmarsh, Professor of Greek Culture and a Fellow of St John’s College, University of Cambridge. In it, he suggests that atheism – which is typically seen as a modern phenomenon – was not just common in ancient Greece and pre-Christian Rome, but probably flourished more in those societies than in most civilisations since.
>“We tend to see atheism as an idea that has only recently emerged in secular Western societies,” Whitmarsh said. “The rhetoric used to describe it is hyper-modern. In fact, early societies were far more capable than many since of containing atheism within the spectrum of what they considered normal.”
>The closest the Greeks got to a unifying sacred text were Homer’s epics, which offered no coherent moral vision of the gods, and indeed often portrayed them as immoral. Similarly, there was no specialised clergy telling people how to live: “The idea of a priest telling you what to do was alien to the Greek world,” Whitmarsh said.
>The age of ancient atheism ended, Whitmarsh suggests, because the polytheistic societies that generally tolerated it were replaced by monotheistic imperial forces that demanded an acceptance of one, “true” God.

Lack of contact with Eurasia. Ideas flow from place to place which is how civilization spread out of the fertile crescent. Unfortunately for Sub Saharan Africa, they have been largely isolated until colonization with Islam only playing a pivotol role in some areas. The Horn of Africa did havr contact but not enough due to geography.

I heard Mexico was pissed because they wanted American aid against France or something during the time we were fighting each other. It was somewhat confusing why we'd want to kill each other instead of helping them remove baguette from new world.

The UK and France's governments were leaning toward the Confederacy but their population was pro Union.

Was there a real reason for that? I know Russia was storing ships in New York during the war, but how friendly were their relations with the Union and why?
