Yes, he was. Living in communist Romania was complete and utter shit unless you knew somebody in the government.

He got shot by a firing platoon, guess that counts for something.

You try exploring Americas with galleys and Spain blocking exit from Mediterranean.

According to AOEIII, which is a well known credible source they did.

>It always seemed kind of weird
Why? European colonization was driven by attempts to access eastern resources (I will admit, I don't know alot about the mentality behind Russian Colonization. All I know is EU memes). The Ottomans sat on the only land+sea route to the east.

This desu. Seems to me that we have to congratulate the Chinese on being one step above the British. As far as I know, the British are the only ones who actually managed to genocide a whole ethnicity.

Why not, it's not like presence of Homo Sapiens was destined to kill the other races instantly.

Perhaps not everything is rational

deism can be theism and vice versa if a man is noble

worship can be good acts
the world can be a temple
god is in the world and at the same time, above it
transcendent and immanent
separation in the nature of god is absurd; god is the point of origin
when you say god can't be this and only that, you deny his absoluteness.

>god doesn't exist

the jewish kabbalists would agree; god is no-thing (Ain), literally nothingness, as the everything of the universe is but an emanation of his creative power and can never contain his fullness. a god of the void

>god exists

the hindu pantheists would agree and sah everything is god split into a myriad of forms, that everything is the essence of god divided, the dreaming of boundless divine mind

the mystery of the All-Father is profound and many layered, and once you think you've reached the summit of understanding, another mountain rises out of the mist in the distance. it cannot be known through intellect alone.

If the darkies didn't get deported, we'd have invited the Union to invade us to suppress endless Black communist uprisings.

Would there even be a WW2? Butterfly effect and all that shit.

I think that only applies to time travel. We still would have been feeding England and France our cotton and shit.

>Wasn't Rome an economic model that has it's basis in the late 1700's?

No

What are latifunidas
Also wasn't some amout wheat given for plebs for free? If yes then it's safe to say that rome was pretty nanny state.

Rome had quite a lot of advertising. Both businesses and politicians would graffiti their names on walls and gladiators would even get sponsored by them.

religion was the founder of our modern day morals
morals are kind of important in a society

>>446538
Atheism is a mental disease, not the other way around. A society without morals will wither and die.

>>446815
Morals and ethics are an illusion of Satan to lead man astray. They foster doubt in the validity and supreme authority of the word of the Lord and His laws. Many philosophers have attempted to use morals and ethics to disprove the Lord's benevolence. Like with science, Satan has enabled this by giving man the illusion he can understand ultimate truth, know more than the Omniscient. But the basis of science and morals and ethics is not knowledge, it is doubt, proving they are the work of Satan. Make no mistake, morals and ethics are humanistic in nature, an imperfect human tainted by sin can not begin to comprehend the thinking of the Creator. To attempt to apply them to the workings of the Divine is folly, morals and ethics do not apply to God. It is hubris to treat God as but a simple man. There is no God but God, concepts of relative fairness do not apply to God, for God has no equals. The only morals and ethics that apply to God are how he he judges all of mankind as the ultimate judge. The concept of morals and ethics are ultimately paradoxical. Man in his imperfection can not determine the ultimate truth and judge between right and wrong. Man putting his own finite thoughts ahead of the thoughts of infinite knowledge is beyond pointless. It is man saying he is superior to God. People enter conflict because of differing morals and ethics, a Satanic plot to divide and plant the seeds of doubt. Philosophers are Satanically inspired, they think because they doubt, not because they know. Only He who is perfect and omniscient can knows truth in its entirety, and the only being capable of judging what is good and evil. You can not judge God by the standards of man, you can not judge the word of God or the law of God, to do so is to presume dominion over God, the Creator of all. You, as man, need only know the absolute Truth of God, you, the imperfect being, can not comprehend nor understand God, the perfect being, you can only know God. God is the Truth.

Religion is just an excuse.

>>446536
> How true is the idea that religion killed lots of people and was the cause of many wars throughout History?
Not true at all, and I basically agree with our statement. Some cultures used religion as a pretext, just like US today brings "democracy" and "freedom" to the world, but the underlying reasons were expansionism and struggle for power and resources.

Then again, there were some conflicts that make little sense without religion, like the first three Crusaders.

The religious kill in the name of their religion.
Making excuses for them doesn't change that fact.

Who's to say they speak louder than the countless examples of compassion, selflessness and empathy?

>Is mankind inherently evil?
No
>Do the countless examples of brutality, greed and murder throughout history speak louder than objective good?
Which would you remember more, being given a cookie or having your wallet stolen?

Define evil.

The Swastika was probably inspired by the rotation of Ursa Major (big dipper) about the star Polaris.

literally always. Its not even just confined to states and nations, this is a human behavior that comes from a very primal form of humaness

That's interesting. I subscribe to the theory that there's nothing new under the sun. I'm hoping someone can contribute examples from old writings or inscriptions.
