Pharoh tried to build a huge tower too, if I recall correctly. I think God was angry that they were trying to reach the heavens.

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

Also most US presidents. Basically all famous ones.

Sola scripture is for noobs

I'd say we need more fidele.

Well that clearly depends on the Satrap. Though most of them were power-grabbers and this is the kind of diadochi that won, of course.

Just noticed Alexander's Persia was smaller than Darius' Persia.
For some reason I always thought he took all of Persia, and some extra, but apparently not.

It's really not that butthurt. The Catholic Church has been through countless reforms since its foundation. It really all comes down to Martin being autistic.

All true believers are members of the one body. The true invisible church. We hope someday the Catholic Church repent of their additions to the true faith and full communion can be restored once again.

>>348086
It isn't. Augustine's theology is simply reaffirmed by Trent. Luther strayed away from it

A fall due to even losing russian support

Generally any state that literally has to build a wall to keep its citizens in is going to have stability problems. The only thing that kept them afloat was the fact that they were a Russian puppet and they saw what happened to Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

>Also can anyone tell me what it was like growing up in eastern Europe from the sixties or seventies onwards? I like reading people's experience of that
Read "Stasiland" it's chock full of interviews from GDR citizens, both in favor and against the former state.

>>348981
Yeah, their students were chanting for Gorby to save them during the 40th anniversary ceremony. That's pretty bad.

>>348987
They had a relatively high standard of living overall. The wall was seen by some as a means to prevent Westerners from taking cheaper, subsidized basic goods and preventing mingling and thus WWIII.

Marcus Aurelius is almost more famous for his quotes than for being the Emperor of the most powerful state on the earth in his time.

Voltaire and Shakespeare have mountains of quotes.

He always has his lips pursed, like this look of being mildly displeased like he never got to visit Europe or something.

But he did visit europe, he was a non voting representative for the colonies in London prior to the war, and a ambassador to france during and after.

Beside most portraits of that era have men with pursed lips, probably becuase their breath stank.

Wasn't an empire or single nation, rather a bunch of city-states.

It took the Spanish hundreds of years to fully subjugate the Mayans.

Unlike their Aztec neighbours to the west, they did not commit human sacrifices.

Largest city was Chitchen Itza.

Mayan people and language still exist today.

Predicted the end of the world on December 21st 2012.

There were no fresh bodies of water so the Maya channeled rain across their cities into cisterns during the rainy season. Priests were the ones who gave out the water and supposedly controlled the rains. A record drought hit and the authority of the priests dried up with the water and the civilization dissolved.

Also they had the only legit writing system in the Americas.

Because they weren't shit beforehand

Marshall Plan for West Germany and massive US aid with the most generous tariffs in history for Japan.

The US almost fucked itself over trying to make Japan powerful again. We did the same for China and it's fucking us over again.

Shut up anglo, the chinese are just wise to the anglo menace and took advantage of the cold war.

Read up on Moga gal and Moga boy (modern girls and modern boys)

Cafes and Cinemas were opening up all across Japan. Modernization was bringing leisure time to a huge and growing Japanese middle class.

All things considered, prewar Imperial Japan was more like Imperial Russia in a lot of ways.

It still has its use. More accurately, sociology makes use of game theory.

Game theory can't into cultural trends

His nerds are the reason we lost Vietnam.

Wars are not cost effective and to try to apply economics to them will fuck you over.

I like him because he lived in the 60s and because he was in black ops

>>346455
Wars are very cost effective though.

I think your definition of naturalistic Pantheist, actually describes most Pantheists in general.

Stephan Hawking has been described as a pantheist, but I don't believe he would say there's anything magical about it.

>>346390
He probably believes in Spinoza's god, like Einstein, which is just a flowery way of saying he thinks the universe is neat.

>>346390

I think Stepehen Hawking is philosophically a pantheist but has openly described himself as an atheist on many occasions.

>>346415

I can never get my head around what Spinoza thought. He seems to be taking the position that the Universe itself is divine and describes it as God but uses a totally different definition of God to one that Theists and Deists use.

His work marks the end of the Age of Darkness

Tell me /his/, why is his face so smug?

>>345692
Voltaire was ultimately right about pretty much every single topic he wrote about. He was loved and respected, but never hated, throughout all of Europe. Furthermore, he because a meme in his lifetime.

Would you not be smug as fuck?
