Why so little love for this man?
>>987820
Because, as an American General, he fought for a country that came in relatively late at the end.
He was also a pretty shit general
"General Pershing, Les attaques frontales are a bad idea"
"lol I'll show you you fucking frog"
Thousands of casualties later

Because he triggers mudslimes and everyone is a mudslime nowadays.
If farting didn't feel good would we do it? Doesn't that prove that God or nature has designed us to take pleasure in the most vulgar functions of our body?
Farting isn't something you do consciously most of the time?

>If farting didn't feel good would we do it?
Childbirth doesn't feel good, but we still do it.
When you feel good after doing something is because is normally healthy for your body, and when humanity evolved it evolved so we would do things that are healthy and these thing would become satisfactory for us, so we would do them more, that's why you feel good after eating or doing sports.
The other things that make you feel good are the ones that make sure you reproduce.
As you see, everything is evolution.
Okay you find out that you have one week to complete an 11 page paper on anything pertaining to U.S. History between colonization to Reconstruction post civil-war.
What do you chose your topic on and why?
I think you should sit down and write it instead of browsing the 4chains, anon.
How many sources do "I" need?
>>987685
5-6, nothing too bad.
Fairly certain 3 need to be from books rather than the internet.
I want to read about the follow up to WW1. When were the earliest seeds planted?
Its too hard to say where the earliest seeds were planted, because by that logic they were planted when Luther started his religion. In the short term, Bismarck throwing off the balance of power set into motion the process which led to conflict. While he was a very good leader, he created a complex system of relations that were only able to be maintained by himself. The biggest cause for the war, in my opinion, is Wilhelm's autism. He's the one who started the arms race with Britain and made colonial aggressions at France, forcing the two nations to ally with each...

History is all one big story. It's hard to tell when the first seeds were planted.
Napoleon would be a good place to start. His wars got everyone all riled up and hating eachother for a while.
The franco-prussian war certainly helped lead to animosity between france and germany.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_purism_in_English
http://anglish.wikia.com/wiki/Main_leaf
Linguistic purism in the English language is the belief that words of native origin should be used instead of foreign-derived ones (which are mainly Latinate and Greek). "Native" (inborn) can mean "Anglo-Saxon" (Engelsaxish) or it can be widened to include all Germanic (Theedish) words. In its mild form, it merely means using existing native words instead of foreign-derived ones (such as using begin instead of commence). In its more extreme form,...

Personally, I would think a Germanic language would sound much better and probably make more sense with more Germanic words in it. Latin and Greek words are fine for the sciences, but they should be removed for common speech.

I'm French, so I dont
I'm glad English is so cucked to my language that it can't have a single sentence without a transparent word
How do the Amish reconcile their belief that God intended for people to live simple lives when God clearly wants us to use electricity. Otherwise,

Amish are primitivists, and primitivists are universally known for being dumb.

God seems very concerned with humanity for some reason.
I was born to a Catholic family. When I was younger I wanted to be a priest. When I got older, I became euphoric with atheistic enlightenment and degenerate drug usage in order to get laid. Nevertheless, I majored in philosophy in college in order to search for truth. Through my studies, I have been led back to religion time and time again. I feel called to a spiritual life, such as a priest or a monk -- but I also want to find a girlfriend...
Is there any religion that allows one to become a priest and get married as well?
Protestant and Orthodox Churches do.
The Anglican Catholic Church does as well.
IN Buddhism I think Monks can marry other monks, just that sex is forbidden.
>>986610
Hi! This is G. The answer to your question is yes, it's called Orthodoxy.
>>986610
I don't find any Biblical evidence to prohibit marriage for them,and in light of the catholic churches pedophilia,it should be encouraged.

If Baha'i replaced mainstream Islam, Jainism/Sikhism with Hinduism, whatever for Christianity and Judaism, and so on, it's most likely all these well meaning and highly principled religions will just turn into what they replaced. As small religions they have a niche, and if allowed to grow will naturally change to fit their new role.
Remember, the major faiths today also started out as idyllic.

Its nothing more than a pretty idea. Religions are too fundamentally different to "all teach pretty much the same thing man".
A question to atheists. Most atheist hold an extremely materialistic view of the mind, that it's entire thought process is performed by the physical brain operating according to predictable, arguably deterministic mechanics. There is a pattern and order to thinking. We also know that the subconscious and instincts are inseperatly from the conscious mind and constantly exerting influence.
So why deny spirituality? Doctor Jung believed systems of spirituality and religion were essential to keeping the brain operating, to satisfy the subconscious's craving for symbols and myth. He also beleived when the mind is deprived of it's necessary diet of myths than it creates or seeks new ones. Since myth and spirtuality has been a part of the human condition for so many thousands of years is it really so hard to believe the brain would evolve to crave them. Religious artifacts are found among the earliest humans. What's so hard to believe that biological determinism has us respond to mother goddesses and animal spirits?
I personally think the public's increasing interest with fantasy and super hero media is related to the decline in spirituality.
oxygen is necessary to keep the brain operating.
>>985719
There's a difference in values here. You are absolutely correct that the brain evolved to crave myths and spirituality. But just because the human brain "naturally" wants something doesn't mean that I'm gonna let it tend towards that something. If the myths aren't likely, I get rid of it, period. Just like other cognitive biases the human brain has, you have to get rid of it if you want to know how things actually are.
>>985741
One of my points is I don't think you can subvert the brains desire for myth, at least no easier than you can subvert the brain's desire to socialize or find common kin.
If you deny your brain access to the mainstream religions and myths it will just gravitate to other things that satisfy it. The role of characters from a work of fiction may become the new mother goddess. The most dangerous thing would be that the brain starts interpreting the real world to see mythical characters. While religion and...

I am genuinely curious as to how Catholics respond to Paul's letter to the Romans, specifically this section:
What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 Therefore God...

You mean the obsessive neurotic who hijacked the Christian religion and introduced Hellenic (specifically, Platonic and mystery concepts) ideas to the Jewish religion?
Daily reminder: the JErusalem Church of Peter and James and the original disciples did not believe Jesus to be God or pre-existing. To them, he was merely an annointed human (Messiah) and a leader, and Paul's teachings were decried as blasphemous by the original disciples.

Britain would have fallen without the Lend-Lease Act. Russia got a lot of trains and rolled steel from the USA, to the point where a Russian general said that they couldn't have won the war without the US's industrial support.

It wasn't just "a Russian general". It was /the/ Russian general, Georgy Zhukov who said that.
