The Bible states explicitly that Mary is the mother of Jesus (Matthew 2:11) and the Mother of the Lord (Luke 1:43). If you do not acknowledge that Mary is the Mother of God, then you are obliquely suggesting Jesus is not God. Saying Mary is the Mother of God, is an affirmation of Christ's divinity.

Jesus himself doesn't call her mother. He calls her "woman".

That's generally how you addressed your mother then. "Woman" wasn't a derogatory term.

What nation impact on history was worst? To me worst are mongols. They destroyed many cultures and world would probably be much better without their invasion. You can't really made such statements about Rome or even Islamic Caliphates for example.

It was probably the largest naval war in history.
The ground combat was more subdued, as the Americans never fought the Japanese on mainland Asia.
There was a massive, and often overlooked campaign to bring supplies to the Nationalist Chinese over the Himalayas from India. It would actually serve as the blueprint for the Berlin airlift a few years later.
The British managed to prevent the Japanese from pouring into India through Burma, but didn't manage to go on the offensive until 1944.
The Americans managed to beat the Japanese fleet fairly quickly considering that US policy had always been to destroy Germany first. From 1941 to 1945, the US surged West across the Pacific, having to dig the Japs out of every island in the Pacific as they went.
Meanwhile, there was another large, mostly forgotten American campaign. From the outset of the war, the US started using submarines to raid the Japanese military and civilian ships. by 1945, this campaign was so successful that when the US annexed Japan, the first thing they needed to go was ship in massive amounts of food because Japan wasn't self sufficient in food and the Japanese cargo fleet was all sunk.
Eventually, the US island hopping campaign reached the point where the US could conduct strategic bombing against the Japanese home islands, and the US flattened every major city in Japan.
The Japanese had been moving forces back to the home islands in anticipation of a massive US invasion, but ultimately surrendered once the atomic bombings took away their last, tiny little hope of victory.

Japan overextended then the USA outproduced them while maintaining a good K/D ratio.
Also Japan's bombers were notoriously bad at hitting their targets.
>>
>>689274
7 December 1941 happens, Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. It isn't as effective as hoped because none of the three carriers in the Pacific Fleet were there during the attack, and so they give a huge opportunity for the US to launch a counter-offensive after beating the IJN at Midway.
From there it's pretty much just a long struggle of rooting the Japanese out from every single occupied island in the Pacific.

I'm a Christian now so I believe that my life has purpose, but when I was a militant atheist I thought life had no meaning or purpose. It blew my mind how people could attach importance to things if we were just the product of a clusterfuck of atoms. So I would take every opportunity I could to spout my half-baked ideas to every unwilling ear I could, which pretty much became my purpose in life.
Do you think this is why so many atheists are so vocal about their beliefs? Do their beliefs "fill" that same spiritual hole to give meaning and shape to their life? Do we as humans have an inherent need to do this?

Christians and atheists are both plebs. They need a purpose to be predefined to their lives. The truely enlightened man makes his own purpose.
>>
>vocal
I have never seen a vocal atheist who is not either adolescent or a celebrity. In my experience, atheists are if anything quiet types.
>>
Why can't atheists be allowed to be enthusiastic about a humanistic lifestyle? Just because they find happiness through non-religion, doesn't mean you one-up them if they congregate to discuss society, politics, philosophy, etc.?
Also genuinely disappointed if mental gymnastics caused your conversion, instead of a love of Jesus.

When and why did "Mad Queen" chess take off? Why weren't people happier with the older piece movement rules? And why did Chess, as opposed to some other game, win the premier spot of the "intellectual game", at least in Europe?

People just like variety. If you play chess all of the time, you will begin to notice patterns, and while this is part of becoming a good player, it also causes some of the mystique and excitement that one might have had when they first started learning to dissipate. It's why Go earned some popularity in the west in the last several years. I for one enjoy the sense of confusion and not knowing exactly what the expect when playing games.

Also none of the chess variants are truly popular. 99% of the games are still traditional rules.

>I for one enjoy the sense of confusion and not knowing exactly what the expect when playing games.
Don't kid yourself. Unless you are a GM, you are not even close to knowing even most patterns. If you know exactly what to expect when playing chess, you need to stop playing your 4 year old sister and move on to tougher competition.

Hi, we are a new religious cult based around the unification and evolution of mankind.
We are seeking to grow our number and our ideals, they aren't as far fetched as a lot of other groups you see out there. Take a look at the long description on our Facebook page, it's work the read even if you don't join us
Will answer any question that you have.
We are in a very early stage, prototype if you will, hence why so far there isn't much about us around the basis of what we stand for.

ok i am not white. so why different nations hate each other in euorope , i only have a little idea. but whats up with jew hating?
where i am from jews are also hated.... though no jews live here. most of the population hate them cuz there its in the root of their religion, islam. most of them never even saw a jew in his life. this religion has evolved around, keeping "jew hating" in the center. but dont feel special they, also hate all other religions.
i grew up in a christian family. so from bible i understand its also have a lil bit "jew hating" inside. so its possible for christians, in right condition, blow up that hate as a religious rage.
but when i look at ww1, ww2, and even till today(no one is killing them, but), there is a strong "jew hate" feeling, but it hardly feels religious. i understand when muslim world hates them, mainly religious, some political.
why nazi/euorope/other white people hates jew? is it religion? doesnt feel like. political? plz explain senpai

Nazi ideology conflated Jews and Bolshevism which they saw as directly opposed to their own goals.
Anti-Jewish feelings in Europe in general and throughout history are caused by the Jews being "the Other", that is a group that is sufficiently different (customs, religion, but also food, clothing, language, work etc.) while at the same time being a part of the same broader society - as opposed to being distinct but forming for example their own state. As such they were convenient scapegoats and frequent targets of oppression.
They were not alone in this, for example the Roma people have a similar history of being hounded out throughout centuries.

Does the true enlightenment not come once you realize you need to be red-pilled about having been red-pilled? That atheism, nihilism, opposing progressiveness, etc etc is in fact just babby's first questioning? That it's just passivity and pure laziness that prevents you from going even further?
True patricians stand above it. They continue to seek meaning, to question their own morality, to truly face themselves with their own mortality, etc etc etc.
Red-pill philosophy is just a lazy excuse to continue being a fat pathetic cynic neckbeard who parasite off others, is too lazy to care about the outside world and the true matters, and who spend all his time at trivialities.
