humes idea is that there is no stric logical relationship between an effect and its cause and that therefore the size of experimental data about an alleged law of nature, even if extraordinary large, cannot justify to prove the law of nature as a matter of logic
so here is my question, is this just ridiculously exaggerated scepticism, or acutally a sensible idea ?

I mean, it's objectively true. Just because the sun rose today doesn't mean it will tomorrow, lad.
Yes.
I hate watching /his/ talking about philosophy. I can barely listen to actual philosophers do it, but watching you mongoloids trying to squeeze out an idea is just painful
Why do people tattoo bible verses on themselves when the bible forbids tattooing?
>>1130000
The dominant Christian philosophy is that the "old law" e.g. Leviticus doesn't really apply anymore
Now a Jew getting a Bible verse tattooed, wew lad
>cutting your hair
>eating shellfish
etc. are all old law, like >>1130003 said.
btw nice fucking quads
>>1130003
Even most modern jews are in agreement that most of the bible was written for ancient hebrews, not modern people.
What is the Holy Spirit?
To me it's just an immaterial cunt desu senpai.
hey be careful
blasphemy against the Father or the Son can be forgiven but the Holy Spirit doesn´t forgive
enjoy your space in hell
>Eternal sins or unforgivable sins or unpardonable sins are part of Christian hamartiology, which is the Christian theology of sins. These are sins which will not be forgiven by God whereby salvation becomes impossible. One eternal or unforgivable sin is specified in several passages of the Synoptic Gospels:[1] verse 29 in Mark 3 states that there is one sin considered eternal and that is "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit".
Tell me everything you know about the Black Plague. I want to pool all knowledge; scientific and hearsay on it. It seems like there's no dedicated site to the thing that killed the most human beings in history.
I know that:
>there are four types of plague: bubonic, pnuemonic, septicemic, and enteric. Only Bubonic could be survived.
>supposedly the plague started as an innocent digestive virus in birds. It's when it made its way to rodents, fleas, and finally humans that it became deadly. I don't...

From wiki, this is a picture is of Yersinia enterocolitica colonies growing on XLD agar plates.
Black plague (Yersinia pestis) belongs to this same family.
The black cloaked figures were real (Jewish).
Truly apocalyptic stuff. If there was anytime in history I would think the End of Days was upon us, it would be during the Black Plague. People think things are bad today but it's nothing compared to then.
I know very little about Crusades, Templars and similar stuff. Where should I start? What sources?
Kingdom of Heaven - Extended director's cut.
Bill Cooper's "Behold A Pale Horse".
tl;dr: templars were degenerate satan worshippers

Go to Amazon and pick up some books on the subject.
Why was Britain against Germany during WWII? Hitler said that he wouldn't touch the empire as he only wanted continental hegemony, he even wanted an alliance with them. Instead, Britain entered a costly war and effectively empowered the Soviet Union, who had been an anti-colonial force since its inception. Thoughts?
Because you have to understand Britain ALWAYS allied with smaller countries against the aspiring European hegemon, no matter who the hegemon was. Napoleon, Wilhelm II, Hitler, it doesn't matter.
The Brits of old didn't want a "strong ally" because that's for betas and plebs, they wanted everyone to be lower than them.
Well maybe not everyone in England was retarded enough to think that totalitarian German rule over all of Eurasia would be a good thing for Britain.

Why is Gallia depicted as a brown woman in this Early Medieval depiction?
Because skin colors back then weren't depicting actual skin colors.
>>1129378
Because the Gauls were the niggers of Europe?
>>1129384
You don't think the painter chose the different hair and skin colours for a reason? Germania and Roma seem to be kinda fitting

Hope you mean late XX century because early has some ridiculous competition.

>Can you help us perpetuate this cycle of suffering and artificially prolong their lives long enough for them to breed another generation that will face the same horrors, depress food prices so that local farmers can't compete and go out of business and begin to depend on us too, and in the meantime net...

how can a field like philosophy justify its existence in state funded universities ?
Clarify.
>completely unobjective field
>teaches moral conduct
>run by government
>>1129085
Can you name an 'objective' field?
They used inflatable tanks in WW2 to mislead the enemy
>>1129005
If they're inflatable then how did they stop bullets and shrapnel??
>>1129438
Inflated with very dense air.
>>1129447
But how did they manage to densify the air without the tanks turning into another Hindenburg??
I've noticed that claiming the American Civil War was the "first modern" or "first industrial war" gets rebutted pretty drastically here. I assume by those who think World War 1 is more deserving of the title but the argument never gets fleshed out, so who is right?
Civil War was Napoleonic.
WW1 was the first modern war.
>airplanes
first industrial I'd have no problems with, that was a pretty big deal in the ACW
first modern, just no, it was decidedly Napoleonic/Jovinian (BUT, weirdly enough, in a worse manner than the perfected N/J European warfare!) at a time when Europeans were quickly adopting loose infantry formations armed with breech loaded rifles

The common smoothbore muskets at Waterloo were only effective to 30-50 yards and the cavalry fought mainly with swords.
When did you realize that Hitler was actually more pacifist than contemporary leaders?
He just wanted to paint postcards
When he had the lowest innocent kill count out of every other nation in WW2 and only invaded Poland in the first place for threatening Armenia.
>220,000 /=/ 6,000,000
I don't understand how you can hold this view. Please explain how he is more pacifist?
