Why is it easier for Christians to feel bad for a leper for his condition than for a homosexual? Isn’t the homosexual sick like a leper too?
>>14001988The homosexual's condition is personal and not afflicted by things outside their control. Its also sexual, which is far more taboo than a skin condition.
>>14001988the leper does not want to spread leprosy, nor be accepted as if he were healthy.he understands his condition, and acts accordingly. the exceptions of the latter case that do the same are also reasonable.
>>14002055Most gays reproduce by molestation, also this sounds a bit like "you're scared of spiders so hence you want to fuck them" kind of argument
>>14007687redditor argument. The thing is the burden of proof fails since it absolves the atheist of responsibility so they can never be challenged on virtually anything, even if their theories are more unbelievable than what a theist would argue
>>14007700No, it's romantic love, and people fall in love accidentally
is there any evidence for atlantis in comparative mythology?
>>14009469>>14010023haha lolYeah I'll start really living soon don't worry.
>>14010884yeah so then you can't fuck

>>14009124So do I retardHow do you think you learn to overcome it?
>>14009124I know it sounds contradictory anon, but going to a club and just moving on the dance floor when the music is too loud to hear anyone talk is pretty calming, especially when you do it with a girl.
I drew this. How do I make it /his/ themed?
Was the renaissance the first woke shitlib age? There is a ton of medieval literature that we simply do not have access to. I think the burden of proof is on those who are pro-renaissance to show that not only did they save more of medieval literature than they destroyed but that more of the medieval worlds texts would have been lost without them. So far, even the best case analysis of renaissance conduct is that they saved and copied the stuff they agreed with and either destroyed or let the stuff they disliked go quietly into the dustbin of history by letting entropy do it’s thing. What’s more damning is that they could have easily saved all the medieval manuscripts as they had the printing press by then and could just quickly copy everything.
>>14011559>Social movements 500 years ago are basically the spiritual ancestors of the ones now! Because they're like...uh...angry about stuff and shit
>x was just like (something I don't like today)are you fags actually interested in history, or are you just using memes of it to whine about some modern day crap
>>14011573Cope harder. Read Erasmus' own descriptions of the era.>>14011559They also had the same IQ level as modern nogs lel.
>>14011559This makes me sad because I was baptised in the Lutheran church
>>14011608im sorry to hear that anonnow you have one thing in common with Marx, yes, he was also baptised in a lutheran church
Why is monarchy so cool and romantic, and democracy so lame and cringe?
>>14011579Doing what people want is only “vote buying” if you’re a shitlib.
>>14011531People like fantasizing about being kings more than they like fantasizing about being presidents. Nobody ever fantasizes about being ruled by anyone.
>>14011579Maybe if you move the goalposts far enough you will find your real dad
>>14011531democracy becomes ochlocracy and has no finesse monarchy has finesse
>>14011546You've got it the wrong way round. Welfare isn't a threat to capitalist Western democracies, it's the thing keeping them alive. If you took away welfare, you wouldn't go 10 years without a violent proletarian revolution.
Why did they think killing all the Jews and then going to war against everyone would win them the war?
>>14011473you're doing the lord's work.
>>14010425>Implying
>>14003029>>Newspapers start claiming that 6 million Jews will die in Germany as early as the turn of the century. (6 million Jews to die at the hands of the Goyim, ie the "Shoah" is prophesized in Jewish religion, it must take place before they can enslave the Goyim.)Well I guess it really did happen then.
>>14004688Uses Soviet sources for most of his "deboonkings".Try again.
>>14009146so you admit it wasn't intentional. and Germany was starving. dont blame them for feeding their POWs last

>>14011528which is why I wasn't trying to refute you.
>>14010669>philosophy is a meme, copelol you don't even care about your alleged civilization's greatest achievement. plato and aristotle are a cudgel to be to used against others in a civilizational dick measuring contest and nothing else. you obviously don't know shit about literature, either, to claim that shakespeare and goethe are irrelevant (jesus fucking christ we're talking about two literal supermen), so i can't imagine you've even read sophocles or aeschylus. i'm sure you at least made an attempt to read homer, but it probably took you a fucking year, right? literal barbarian telling his betters that they have no civilization. listen here, i know you're some sort of gypsy or mulatto and aren't accepted as a real greek, and that's unfortunate, but that's no reason to subject us all to your derangement. seek mental help. tell your therapist about how the snowniggers have stolen civilization from you, a gyspy-mulato trans-greek, and are destroying it by not exterminating black people. he'll put on all the right meds, and that'll be a far better way of deal with your insanity than continually acting out this pathetic psychodrama in every /his/ thread vaguely dealing with proto-indo-europeans.
>>14011587post body>>14011604he's kinda right, the greeks have had 200+ philosophers, only a couple are remembered now and in ancient times nobody really gave a fuck. people cared about kings and heroes, or poets. most of philosophy was just an elite book club back then and the vast majority of it is forgotten todayphilosophy is wannabe science by people too lazy to prove what they say
>>14011604>lol you don't even care about your alleged civilization's greatest achievement. plato and aristotle are a cudgel to be to used against others in a civilizational dick measuring contest and nothing else. you obviously don't know shit about literature, either, to claim that shakespeare and goethe are irrelevant (jesus fucking christ we're talking about two literal supermen), so i can't imagine you've even read sophocles or aeschylus. i'm sure you at least made an attempt to read homer, but it probably took you a fucking year, right? literal barbarian telling his betters that they have no civilization. listen here, i know you're some sort of gypsy or mulatto and aren't accepted as a real greek, and that's unfortunate, but that's no reason to subject us all to your derangement. seek mental help. tell your therapist about how the snowniggers have stolen civilization from you, a gyspy-mulato trans-greek, and are destroying it by not exterminating black people. he'll put on all the right meds, and that'll be a far better way of deal with your insanity than continually acting out this pathetic psychodrama in every /his/ thread vaguely dealing with proto-indo-europeans.
>>14011613if that's his argument, whatever, but then don't talk to me about civilization. if you don't care about science, the arts, or philosophy, then why are we talking about civilization? the word means nothing to you. it's just a sort of je ne sais quoi that you associate with classical antiquity and only classical antiquity. sumerians and egyptians have civilization. germans and brits don't? okay, whatever.
What did Hitler think of Tsar Nicholas II? I mean they both were ethnically Germanic. They both hated Jews. Would Hitler and Nicholas became allies? Or would Hitler have still invaded Russia and depose the Tsar?
>>14010069Marx thought all slavs except Russians and Poles had no history, and that Russians are too dumb to establish communismHe had some weird boner for poles who ended up being one of most anti communist nations
>>14010005>He said he was happy Japan steamrolled them during the Russian-Japanese war in Mein KampfMisinformation Jew detected
>>14010005Weird cause wasn’t it a white russian that told him just how bad the bolsheviks were who was that anyway?
>>14010504Funny cause even further back when all of Europe was fighting each other it was the poles who were the most anti ottoman force that stopped the muslims I wonder what Adolf thought of that lol
>>14010069>too servile to establish socialismThat is the only way to establishing socialism though, by manipulating retards into thinking they will get gibs.
But how do you know it's true?
>>14011564Are you retarded? You would use a computer and make a table to hold the information. Add the words up, it's easy 1 + 1 + 1 + 1, etcetera. Fill in the chart and have a look at what slice is larger.
>>14011572I think other anon is including all the theologians and stuff that have written of Christianity, in which case it is certainly way more than Tolkien. Also LoTR doesn't even claim to be real and Tolkien was a Christian, so retarded argument from the get go anon
>>14011245The authors belived it was true, well A truth, except the inconvenient parts but that's what editing and "mysterious ways" is for.It's a book of fables, parables, musings and badly translated one sided histories retold via Chinese telephone centuries after the fact.
The bible invents a problem and sells the solutionChristianity is the utmost and final JEW
>>14011607What no longer exist and what never existed are akin. What there is, is all we have left. We can only have what there is to be had. I'm not arguing any king of serious claim, merioly trying to explain the fact that where you to count the content of religions in words and count those words and only those words, so, baring all words that are commentary or adjacent to said works and only counting each of them, where you to include lotr and the commentaries and the dialoges, as well as works of jrr. you would have a larger pile of words. Nothing to do about content, commentaries or discussions. This is just to show that the works people hold so close are no different that the other works of written legends and lores.
Stop worshiping a Semitic desert demon!
Modern pagans have literally no identity beyond trying to make christians mad
>>14011583Protestants have no identity other than seething about Rome. It's in the name, "protest."
>>14011563Oddly if not for Christians, the indo-European language family would never have been discovered. Greeks and Romans showed little to no interest in linguistics because it was beneath them to learn barbarian languages. It was Christians who who had keen ear for languages and went out of their way to learn barbarian languages like Gothic.
>>14011590good thing I'm Reformed, then.
>>14011615Still Protestant lol. Contrary to what EU4 might tell you, Reformed is a subsection within Protestantism.
How do fascism and marxism leninism differ from each other? How does marxism leninism differ from regular marxism in general?
>>14010082
>>14010082>MarxismClassless, Stateless society. Basically anarcho-communism. Never been attempted because it's fucking retarded.>Marxist-LeninismThe basic archetype that all communist governments afterwards model themselves after. Near-complete lack of property rights or political freedoms. >FascismSimilar to Marxist-Leninism but with a larger focus on ethnicity rather than class and more lenient on private businesses. Pretty much died out as a serious ideology after WW2.TL;DR Marxist-Leninism is Marxism but totalitarian, and Fascism is Marxist-Leninism but racist.
communist governments are highly centralized government with zero common sense regulations that rule through fear and financial ruin usually through their control of the monetary system and economy through things like highly corrupt deals with housing developers. fascist governments are what we call anti-communist governments that form when communist infiltration in liberal countries reaches the point where the central government can't control them and the local populations begin killing them creating a populist movement of hard-line anti communism which empowers the state to crush those that would destroy it
>>14010082Fundamentally they don’t. Strip away all the idealogical jargon and both are very willing to use expropriation, private enterprise, and state power in whatever way works best for them.
>>14010082Fascism is heirearchical on purpose, communism is heirearchical by accident.
If there is a God why did he make the observable universe so inconceivably massive?Even if we traveled non-stop at the speed of light it would be impossible to visit or even send messages to other parts of the universe effectively rendering an inconceivable amount of the observable universe inaccessible to us no matter.Why? Why so much emptiness?
>>14011600He has a lot of time on his hands and needs something to do
