What did Europe do after WWII to ensure peace?
The creation of the UN for one. The establishment of a global forum for airing diplomatic disputes. While it was gimped to a considerable degree with the aspect of an unconditional VETO for all members of the Security Counsel, it was the only way that both the US senate and the USSR would agree to participate.
The establishment of collective security agreements to dissuade aggression. NATO for the west. The Warsaw Pact for the East.
The vigilant preparedness for war is another. Maintaining large peace-time forces and amassing vast stockpiles of nuclear weapons....

You mean the US.
Europe was busy getting kicked the fuck out of their colonies.
>>1109446
Fair enough.
My post was more about the facets of the established post-WW2 international order that has maintained the peace in Europe rather than what EUROPEANS did specifically.
Since when you get down to it the peace in Europe was maintained in large part by the active policy of the US. What "Europe" did to maintain the peace is a silly question because it ignores arguably the most substantial variable in the equation.

isnt that guy is national hero of armenia ?
I'm probably closest to Hume, reading his philosophy, I come across ideas I've had independantly, but he framed them better than I could.
He also enjoyed history and living a pleasant life and was a bit of an underachiever academically.
No.
The Zoroastrian eschatology so similar to Christianity's, first appears in the Bundahishn, written hundreds of years after the advent of Christianity.
Perhaps Zoroastrianism and the Abrahamic faiths are so similar because Zoroaster and Abraham were the same person. It's possible his teachings became corrupted by the cultures he preached to.
>>1109272
Abraham didn't preach Christian eschatology, and neither did Zoroastrianism until hundreds of years after the advent of Christianity..
>>1109289
I never mentioned Christian eschatology. I was referring to what became Judaism.
Why are anglos and Americans so insecure about their disbelief in God that they constantly need to write books about it, whereas Czechs and Swedes are perfectly content with their atheism?
Dawkins was directly involved with the whole intelligent design issue before writing this book.
>>1109204
America has MANY people that do BELIEVE (really believe) in God in the Judeo-Christian or Islamic tradition. The problem is not the 'run of the mill' atheist being uncomfortable with their atheism, but politicians who are atheists being unwilling to admit to their atheism. They wouldn't get elected.

>but politicians who are atheists being unwilling to admit to their atheism. They wouldn't get elected.
As opposed to the "secular-humanistic havens" of Latin America and Romania, that did elect non-believers without a hitch?
Does the ontological argument explicitly and singularly prove Christianity? Or does it also prove Judaism, Islam, and any other monotheistic religion?
>>1109188
In an incredibly subjective sense, provided that you hold such a stupidly concrete concept of perfection that a catholic might.
>>1109195
And that you're already willing to give both the idea of perfection and god the benefit of the doubt. Though it ought to be perfectly goddamn well obvious (finite brain you apes) that both are impossible to us by the nature which we coin them.
>>1109188
The thought exists as a thought but the thing you're thinking of does not have to exist in the natural world. Shit argument.
Who invented stairs?
What is the oldest known example of stairs in archaeology? Did they just use ramps before then?
Stairs and ladders were already in use by the time of proto-cities, so I'd guess they started outdoors as augmentations for difficult or significant trails

this one time when satan(lucifer) who did rebell against god before the creation of earth, and that one time when the angels did create with the human beings giants called the "nihilism" or whatever
why are angels such irresponsable creatures
>>1108602
Nephelim.
And it's not specific enough on what "Sons of God, Sons of Man" means for it to be Angels, but one can infer that because Angels are immaterial and finite in power that they cannot mate with humans and as such, weren't the Sons of God. Personally I think Sons of God are ensouled Humans and Sons of Man are some soulless other species of extinct hominid, and the declaration of 120 year max lifespans by God is an explanation for humanity's longevity being shortened by breeding...

Yes the first fall which was the rebellion by Satan and the second fall which happened when god cast down the angels who laid with the daughters of man creating the nephilim a breed of giants who consumed everything, including people. It is also speculated that Goliath was a descendent of this race.

The government/monarchy during the Bourbon Restoration. I don't get why it's so ignored, there's lots to make drama about.

What are, in your opinion, the top five most important primary sources for understanding the Middle Ages in Western Europe?
I would have to say:
>Summa Theologica
>Defender of the Peace
>Romance of the Rose
>Chronicles of Froissart
>The Song of Roland
Wow, solid list there, OP.
>>1108284
Is that sarcasm?
>>1108290
Of course it is you fucking retarded
Go read a real book instead of some old poems that barely anyone read at the Middle Ages. How the fuck are aristocratic poems that the commoner never got access important sources?
And you didn't even mention the Divine Comedy, a rather influential book written by some italian guy, maybe you heard of him. Go throw yourself in a fire
Who was this faggot? Why do I keep seeing people talk about him on /his/? What did he do?

>tl,dr: Columbus was Pedro Madruga, a spanish noble man from Galicia who had to run away to Portugal with his friends and years later came back to Spain to offer to the Catholic kings his proyect.
This theory is almost 150 years old, and it wasn't debunked yet. The only thing that make it fail to the Genova Origin Theory is the fact that some documents were written in top with ink to take photos of the text properly, and now it is prove by scientific analysis that they are completely genuine and their content is the same.

What was the relation between the Nazis and Mediterranean people?
Did Hitler and the "Aryans" see them as "non iqual"?
Italian Fascism died when it adopted racial views.

I doubt he gave it much thought. Italians seem alot more Germanic in their everyday behavior than most people would think. Go to italy and you will see they act and look pretty white.
