>yfw you read The God Delusion for the first time

For real, this book helped me a lot in quitting church.

I was raised in a protestant family that went to church every week. When I was 15 or so I started doubting that shit. Having no resources or even a clue how to articulate those doubts, I ignored them mostly. Friend of mine finally gave me this book.

Ofcourse we both went through a retarded phase of trying to convince all religious friends that they were retards and generally being a dick about it.

Highlight was the time we were celebrating a friends sisters 18th birthday church acceptance thing (dont know the english term) and were all piss-drunk. Asshole of a friend baited me into trying to convince that same girl she should have quit the church. It was about the equivalent of trying to convince a freshly married couple that monogamy is for idiots only.

Quit being an asshole about religion the next day. To be fair, had quite a lot of good talks with my parents about religion in the past few years. Mutual acceptance and all that.

I guess The God Delusion is just the Fight Club, the Gin Tonic, the Neutral Milk Hotel for Atheism: a low entry gateway that blows your mind, causes you to act like a dick and leads you to greater discoveries that leads you to realise your gateway was shit.

Why do people act like a dick over atheism? Is it part of American culture?

Sweetie I like this site better than Facebook. I think I will explore it some. I left you your chicken tenders on the counter.

Some Jews are self-hating Jews. Just because they hated another group of Jews, doesn't mean they were not Jews themselves.

The Soviets were very anti-religion in general up until about WWII.

gotta agree famalam

The Reformation was essentially a rational democratic revolution against a murderous theocratic monstrosity maintained through brainwashing and terror .

>Just what the *FUCK* was this about?
Henry VI, the king of England, was weak and chronically ill with some kind of disease that rendered him occasionally catatonic. He clearly couldn't run the country like that, which meant that he needed a set of advisors/guardians to actually run the country when he was in a stupor.

Essentially, the War of the Roses started off as a series of competitions as to who would be the royal guardian, which was complicated by the fact that Henry would occasionally snap out of it and reverse the decisions of the battlefield or the intriguing, which usually led to another round of fighting after he went back inside his own head. Once you have several years of the great houses of England killing each other and getting vendettas though, the violence became its own cause, to get back at the other guys for the last one of yours they killed or exiled.

Who were the good guys?

>>2919258
There are no good guys in history.

There are three Abrahamic religions.
You just ruled out two of them.
Gee I don't know OP, I'm not that smart myself, so I'm also unable to solve this difficult problem.

history is anime running at 7000 frames per second

That the past was great. Sadly it's so distorted.

Furthermore, I'll answer all questions to the best of my ability. I focus less on theory and models, and more on economic history and results.

Finally, keep the shitflinging to a minimum. A slow and comfy thread is better than a shitfest.

The Silk Road is more important than the Roman Mediterranean sea.

Therefore it is obvious the Mongol Emperors were wealthier than the Roman Emperors.

Yes, Soviet Command had a shit of a time dealing with it considering rape was punishable by death

so I heard a vatnik say that after 3 days commissars went blamming their soldiers who were looting and raping. is this true?

>>2929612
They started long before that, the Soviets wanted a loyal German client state and the rapes were really fucking bad PR. Soviet propaganda really fucked up with the muh revenge line

>>2929441
No one in the German officers truly liked Hitler but they all believed in the German war goals, Rommel included. Haven't read up recently but he helped the SS in multiple operations as an organic unit.

>>2929441
>Maybe its because he obviously hated Hitler and the Nazis in his book
And after he spent years sucking up to Hitler personally to be able to call the guy in to win his disputes with his army superiors, volunteering to command the dude's bodyguard for him every chance he got, and shooting propaganda films for the Nazis after the fall of France.

>>2929441
Rommel was a career opportunist, Africa might have been a "gentleman's war" but he used his closeness to Hitler to get ahead of other officers because his career had stalled during the inter-war. Doesn't really make him a bad person, just kind of a dick

>>2929155
Almost certainly members of congress or the cabinet. Nice three-piece suits btw.

real communism is an illusion as the theory is flawed from the start. It'll always end with the same totalitarian shitfest.
