Protestants are generally divined into two camps, Mainline and Fundamentalist. You already know what fundamentalists are, they can be easily spotted because they think evolution is bullshit.

Mainline Protestants are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bWHSpmXEJs

Your typology is fucking shit.

How about a theologically driven typology: pseudo-Catholics, Lutherians, Calvinists, Radicals

Or a Church History driven typology:
Lutherians, Radicals, Calvinists, Anglo-Protestants, Old dissenters, New dissenters, Methodists, Baptists, Fundamentalists?

fucksake, no wonder the churches are dying.

Interest in them because of history.

Hearts of Iron II blew my fucking mind. I could not believe it was a real game until I installed it.

>Did you go into them because of an interest in history, or did you develop an interest in history partly because of them?

It's kind of cyclical for me. I think it very first started with the games, as my dad had my aforementioned vice in his basement and I started learning to play, which prompted me to study WW2 to try to figure out what the hell I was supposed to be doing, and that in turn led me to other things.

I don't know much about the period or the people, but I was under the impressions the Celts weren't particularly warlike. I mean, sure, they raided, but so did everyone. They were pretty average in terms of aggressiveness, or so I thought.

My ancestors speak to me, they are saying that it was pretty gay for such a warlike nation to be rekt by Norse.

>>494661
>Why were they so warlike?

Pretty much every bronze/iron age tribal civilization thingy was like that. What's life worth if you can't annually raid your neighbors?

I heard the medieval Welsh still had laws telling them to wage war at least once a year, though this could also just have been some bullshit.

It comes from new age hippies who aren't able to critically contrast religious systems and instead rely on the trope of perrenialism as a substitute for examination.

>>493535
It comes from lay misunderstandings of serious work from people like Prof. Zacharias Thundy

On the other hand, if the demon were really this consistent in giving us results, through which we satisfy our every goal and desire, there would hardly be any intelligible difference between what we call “reality” and the world the demon is inventing for us. Such a construct would be reality, in every sense of the word we normally use. And since we observe some methods to work better than others, and indeed some work best of all, a Cartesian Demon would have to be arranging it this way, constructing reality for us solely in accord with a fixed plan it has chosen. In that case we have just as much reason to pursue the relevant methods for discovering that plan, and to abandon the bad ones, so we can gain the reward of a successful life experience from this mischievous demon. In other words, there is no reason to trust that any Cartesian Demon theory is true, and even if it is, nothing significant changes for us regarding method.

The second criterion of good method is convergent accumulation of consistent results. If we use an inaccurate method we should expect that when we investigate a proposition from several angles we will get inconsistent results, and the more propositions we accumulate the more contradictions we would encounter and the more complex our belief-system would have to become to accommodate them. But if our method is correct, we should expect that when we investigate a proposition from several angles we will get the same results, which would be an improbable coincidence if there were no stable truth being hit upon. At the same time, the more propositions we accumulated, the more consistent our system of propositions would become, with researches in various areas all confirming and supporting each other and permitting cumulative advances in practical knowledge. In contrast to a bad method, with a good method we would find ourselves eliminating rather than accumulating contradictions, and our belief-system would become less convoluted.

All this would be a very good sign that our method is sound and successful and gaining us access to what is really true. For this result could never happen by chance. And even for a Cartesian Demon to pull it off, it would have to have from the very beginning a set, preconceived idea how everything will turn out, or else make everything, including our memories, conform as if that were so. For only in such a way could everything accumulate and coincide so well over a long period of time, or appear to have done so. But if the demon has such a complete game plan already in place, or is so adept at inventing one at any given moment, then there would again be no practical difference between this “truth” and a truth that was just “there.”

On the other hand, a method that meets both criteria would also stand as evidence of a truth that was not of a Cartesian Demon’s manufacture. Not only would there be no reason to believe a demon was at work (for merely being possible does not make something credible), and not only would there be no advantage gained by believing so (for insofar as our happiness is procured anyway by mastering the rules of the universe established by a fixed reality or by a Cartesian Demon, our propositions always remain true in an operational sense), but it would be altogether improbable. For it would be hard to imagine what the motive of such a demon would be, or why it exists, or how it acquired or employs its powers in the first place.

>The Method of Reason

The reason why the logical-mathematical method is supremely successful is that it has, in respect to the two features of an accurate method, produced the broadest, most complete, and most consistent success. Moreover, when a proposition of logic or mathematics is challenged and seriously debated, the most widespread and solid agreement is achieved in comparison with any other method or subject. This is because the predictions entailed by such propositions are comparatively few, simple, and precisely defined, as well as thoroughly interrelated, and therefore these propositions are very easy to test. For example, to test that a proof is valid one need only validate by direct experience each step of the proof, including its axioms and the steps by which each step leads to the next. In effect, by being the least ambiguous or laborious of all the sciences, it has made the most progress the quickest.

On the one hand, we ourselves can in most cases duplicate the investigations and thus directly confirm logical-mathematical propositions. On the other hand, propositions of logic and mathematics only make claims about the meaning of concepts. So the only empirical inquiry they require is conceptual, and therefore inexpensive and immediate. For they can all be tested in the laboratory of the mind, where concepts exist.

Is pillaging, raping, and cannibalism considered culture?

Judge. Juries are unreliable, unrepentant criminals shouldn't get off scot free because they managed to make half a dozen citizens or so with barely any understanding of the law sympathetic of their sob story.

Depends on whether the Judges are corrupt or not.

>criminals shouldn't get off scot free because they managed to make half a dozen citizens or so with barely any understanding of the law sympathetic of their sob story.
the criminals never address the jury directly though. It's their attorney. Also with proper jury instructions, I think juries are more fair.
That's a big problem though, is jury instructions and understanding reasonable doubt

Attempts to implement it led to the death of roughly 100 million people during the past century and the suffering of hundreds of millions more.
