in hindsight i don't think so

it was the Russians storming through Manchuria with ease that made the Japanese surrender not the bombs

if we didn't use the bombs on Japan at this point we would have defiantly used them on china during the Korean war , and we could have really needed that bomb for that war

Two wasn't enough.

ethics doesn't exist lol

Why is your favourite woman from history a cute girl who bullies retards?

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, damn I'm stupid. Fool me three times, what the fuck is wrong with me?

They never really had an offesnive strategy; after all, even with their fleet, it wasn't like they could make it to the U.S. and hit anything that would slow down their enemy's war economy.

The Japanese strategy was always coercive, not controlling; by being too much trouble and too bloody and expensive to take down for America to bother with completely eradicating, allowing for a "peace with honor" at a negotiating table. To do that, they don't need to attack, just defend.

>>2896201
In no particular order that would be better conditions, keeping the emperor, and not being hanged yourself. There was no hope in winning, but there was hope in being so costly to attack that preferable conditions and survival of the ruling class could happen.

the militarists knew they would be hanged

>Hitler all day

I wish, have you been watching the History Channel recently? It's Redneck Reality TV, it's American Pickers and Pawn Stars now. Like, they could've done ANYTHING on Memorial Day, but how did History Channel celebrate or remember? American Pickers.

>>2896015
He's probably thinking of AHC (American Heroes Channel) which is a military themed offshoot of the History Channel.

Seriously. At least when they were the "Hitler Channel", that was at least history. Now it's just trash.

There is a difference between the circumstantial ceremonial law and the universal moral law.

>how do people who practice Christianity oppose things that are condoned in the bible like sex slavery, and Leviticus law[?]

BY PRACTICING CHRISTIANITY —"THE BIBLE" IS THE BOOK OF JUDEOCHRISTIANITY, NOT OF CHRISTIANITY.

>>2895839
ok so why did god change his mind.
>>2895821
also why is ceremonial law (mass sex slavery) in conflict with moral law (monogamous love)

Nobody is really an atheist. Tons of people are into new age bullshit or earth mother cults or superstitions or "spiritual, but not religious". Old school atheist types are still a rarity.

t. true atheist

Post-modernism is ruining the world.

>>2895648

Atheism is the only hope for Europe, a return to Christ Cuckery would mean an end to the notion of European civilization. Afterall, all those niggers flooding across the Med are "brothers in Christ" or at least "fellow Abrahamics".

>but I cant agree that he was a christian, by a lot of events or things he did.

what's the point of converting the empire to christianity if he's not actually a christian? it's a lot of work and risk for no real benefit, unless you truly believe in the doctrine

>>2895586
>Also I think he was not a christian, I mean he was baptized and all but by an arrian (remember he sentenced itself arrianism as heresy).
ok? arians were christians. are you going to tell me nestorians weren't christians either? the difference between arians and trinitarians was incredibly small. they had all the same traditions and beliefs except one detail

>>2895590
Op here:
He only made christianity legal. He respected paganism and all other cults. Constantine was a fervent follower of SOL INVICTUS, and christianity does not allows by any means any kind of paganism.

>Epic of Gilgamesh
>more like EPIC FAIL of Gilgamesh

Most ancient myths and stories are like that. Achilles and Odysseus are even worse in that regard.

lilith isn't in the bible

Why hasn't the gospel of Thomas, verified as at least as accurate as the canonical gospels, found its way into the canon yet?

>>2895418

Because it's "problematic".

It seems reasonable that a masterful sculpture would not have been painted by an amateur painter.

>>2895056

this, the reconstructions of what they used to look like always look shitty because only remnants of the base color remain on the sculptures

The British monarchs?

>>2894740
the british monarchs were heads of state in great britain but only owed as much land as they do in England. The Hapsburg treated their empire as personal property. Not really the same.

Nondenominationalism isn't really a "form" of Christianity at all. Part of the whole point is that it's formless: no church structure (except many churches are run like a business), no confessions, catechisms, creeds, or doctrinal standards (except maybe a 6-point generic list in the back of the church bulletin), no accountability for teaching or behavior. Protestant churches are identifiable. They are generally either Anglican, Lutheran, Reformed/Presbyterian, or Methodist. A lot of people count Baptists as well, but there are good historical reasons why that's not necessarily the case, and Baptists fight with each other over whether they are more Protestant or Anabaptist all the time. When they figure it out for themselves, then I can give you an answer. Protestant Churches adhere to one of a set of identifiable standards: The Thirty-Nine Articles and the BCP, The Book of Concord, The Westminster Standards, the Three Forms of Unity, etc.

Nondenominationalism is not only not united, but when it stands for anything at all, it generally stands for a lack of any identifying marks or standards, so the question of whether they are Protestant or not is kind of moot. They tend to be more generic evangelical "protestant" than Catholic, Orthodox, etc. though, but again, that varies because it's not an actual movement. It's simply a lack of commitment. Non-denominationalism can mean Joel Osteen-style self-help prosperity gospel bullshit in a converted sports stadium or on television, or it can mean a small formerly Lutheran parish that decided they think calling themselves Lutheran is divisive, and by the way who even cares about things like Sacraments or theology. The latter may look a lot more like a Protestant church, but it isn't, really.

>>2894515
If you're not a Catholic you're a protestant, that's all there really is to it.

The only acceptable calendar is the French Republican calendar

Today is 13 Prairial (the month of meadows), year 225

also each day has a specific thing attached to it
for today is the stachys, or betony, plant

It would be names on which on some point there could have been a sort of consensus on in Europe. So while I might give Napoleon a place, it would never have spread.
