>Why does something exist rather than nothing?

Don't know

>Why is the world the way it is?

Probably the multiverse, all possible worlds exist.

>I will happily renounce Christianity right here tonight and buy a copy of The God Delusion first thing tomorrow morning.

I'd recommend The Miracle of Theism instead, it is a much better book for a beginner.

Why is their something rather than nothing?

Don't know

Why is the world's the way it is?

It is

I don't claim to know any answers.

But if there's something beyond us in the universe, I don't think that humans, as primitive as our brains are, could truly understand it. I'm sure the nature of humans is incompehensible to insects.

"just because it is a book" doesn't apply. People aren't attracted to the book, they're attracted to the message.

>>444497
Many great messages have been written throughout time, but only the magic books get such a religious following. For example, there is no 1,000,000,000+ group of people dogmatically following On Liberty or Treatise on Human Nature

Faith nigger. Logic and happy existence don't go together very well. Nor does it in society, i.e autism. I just believe, as does everyone else.

>spooks are a valid argument

I hate the stirner kiddies. You're not suddenly above thousands of years of moral and metaphysical thought because you read le spooky German man

>>457089
I don't know, how could you fight in a melee without "clashing".

>>457098
I mean when in LOTR the huge armies come running at eachother.

>>457109
Well I figured that, but would you really want to walk at them either? I figure the fist few ranks at the front line would be skewered and the opposing armies would bleed into each other from there.

Dumb cunt shoulda invaded in 2015.

>>456976
The frost actually enabled the Germans to push a bit further forward, as the autumn mud froze.

The real problem was overrunning the supply infrastructure, a problem caused by distance, not temperature.

>>456989
Because they kept advancing even to the very end of their supply lines in '41

>>456797
The Brits essentially set up the camps to remove civilians from the conflict and mismanaged them so badly that they became starvation camps. The High command, giving little to no fucks, tried to cover it up unsuccessfully.

And there you have it, Bongs set up the first modern concentration camp, and have yet to apologize for it. But then again, compared to the numbers of Irish they starved this was chumps work.

The only reason people starved in the Boer war was axis bombing disrupting supply lines, prove me wrong

Oh, it's a shit post. Carry on.

Does Maoism count?

>effect
Either the big bang or god depending on your cosmology.

You meant affect.

First self replication of a atom.

Gavrilo Princip pressing the trigger.

Off the bat, it seems like you're only interested in becoming Pantheist because you think "intellectuals like Einstein are Pantheists!"

Pantheism is just atheism with different semantics, bruh. That's the whole point of Spinoza using it, so he could be the exact same thing as an atheist but then say he wasn't one.

Depends, there is a wide variety of people in pantheism. Some of them treat it as literal truth and subscribe to all sorts of ideas of universal consciousness and such that have no scientific support. Others use it as a metaphor, not really treating the universe as a god but using religiously inspired language to describe it.

Losing her head was fairly careless.

No more than any other royal cunt. She just did it at the wrong time in the wrong place.

Was a beautiful foreigner noblewoman. Guilty by definition.

I'd also like to draw a accurate representation of different pre-columbian citizens, but I found no scientific description of their appearance.

I would be interested in the children toys and clothes of free citizens (I assume they had slaves too?)

Azteks and Mayans had wheeled toys, but there were no wheeled carts whatsoever in the continent.

>imblying the Romans didn't loot the Med and western Europe, most notably Greece, of everything of cultural or temporal significance that wasn't nailed down and much of what was

It would look like Europe

I wonder if there are any documents remaining from WWI Germany where its leaders laid out or proposed what they would do in case of a victory.

>>452483
This is exactly my question.

>>449992
It's always been hard to be a Jew period. One of the most isolated groups in history.

>>449992
Because Europeans don't like getting ripped off.

because money-lending and banking jobs were seen as unholy or greedy by the religious people of the time and the jews did all these jobs. So they carried out pograms to take all the wealth back usually. Something like this?

>Do you think Gunung Padang, Dwarka, Gobekli Tepe, and Atlantis are bullshit?
One of these is not like the others.

>>450055
They're all fairly unique, which one did you mean?

>>450275
Atlantis hasn't been found so its probably it
