The fact that Stalin never got what he deserved is one of the biggest injustices in history.

>Was it to teach those godless Marxists a lesson?
Yes.
>Did it work?
In the sense that it helped brainwash entire swaths of generations of Americans, yes.

Luckily that shit didn't work on me though.

It might have hurt patriotism. I remember I knew a lot of kids that thought the phrase made the pledge meaningless. On the other hand I doubt it seriously made people more religious or give second thoughts to Communism. I think overall that means it's a net lose.

St. Lawrence had a very unenviable death.
He was slowly roasted on an iron grid, but apparently he still had the balls at one point to say "I'm well done. Turn me over!"
He became the patron saint of cooks and comedians for that.

Saint Bartholomew.

Getting flayed alive is fucking awful.

Saint Lucy is pretty nice. I think they tried to burn her but the wood wouldn't light so they impaled her with a sword. This was all after her eyes were gouged out too.

"Monotheism" didn't take off. Christainity and Islam took off, but you have older forms of Monotheism like Judaism, whatever that Amhotep religion was, and Zoroastrianism, and those never really spread much beyond small ethno-groups.

Christianity spread because it gave an answer to the inevitable suffering in life, and promised both a meaning and a reward for said suffering.

Islam, I'm less sure of. The obvious answer is that it spread by the sword, but you see other polytheistic religions that were also spread forcefully and those didn't have the same kind of lasting impact.

because monotheism is true

What you first need to understand is that all OG Israelites were indistinguishable from their pagan Canaanite neighbors. The only difference was in religion/culture.

Secondly, they also didn't control nearly as much of the region as the Bible says they did, but for some reason the Romans called the whole thing Judea. I think this kind of gave all the natives within that border the Jewish identity. It's very possible they didn't have the fully codified beliefs their brothers from deeper in Jewish territory had.

>>309539
During the times of King David, they likely did not control as much land as thought. However, before the Romans invaded, the Maccabean and Herodean Kingdom had fairly well-defined borders spanning most of the area.

This make analytical philosophers to shit their pants

Actually that makes Aristotle shit his pants. Are you sure you know anything about the history of logic?

Was a black Swan ever actually a big deal? Surely you could look at other birds, eg rooks, and conclude birds can be black. Then you could look at sheep or albinos and conclude, just because many are one colour some can be a different colour. Ergo, black swans are perfectly possible.

Innocent. As found by Pope Clement at the time, when he found them not guilty, and restored them all to full sacrament.

Innocent.

It was mostly French (which is why he got rid of it so easily)

Determinism was always fishy. People who use it are always excusing some shitty event.

That probably prompted the search to find the shitcake.

Ok I'm interested.
There were people living there?

Apparently. There were cro-magnon and neanderthal inhabitants of what is now the British Isles well prior to that, and they were actively hunting in the area. I know a bunch of mammoth bones have been dredged up from the Dogger Bank, and we all know how delicious mammoths are.

atheists abstain from opinions until science tells them otherwise. their viewpoints rely on the data, whereas religion just believes whatever a book tells them to regardless of certain things being disproven
