God created sin. Otherwise, this would mean 'sin' is uncreated and eternal, on par with God.
Since the above is unthinkable for Christians, it follows that this deity created 'sin', arbitrarily deciding that anything he found contrary to his very specific sense of aesthetics would be 'sin'. I'm not referring to the common taboos that arise in human societies (taboos against stealing, against killing members of one's own group arbitrarily, against dishonesty, etc.), but rather those 'sins' which seem very arbitrarily enacted...

Sin is not a created thing.
>>886313
Further, nothing you listed is a sin.
>>886345
If it is not created, then it is also uncreated and therefore, eternal. Christians believe God created everything present in the universe ex nihilo. This is a serious blow to God's claims of omnipotence, if there is something that exists that he did not create.

It's not the same exact thing, but it is close.
my friend says turks are mongol

They aren't

They want in on that sweet Mongol prestige but in all honesty all they did was join the Mongols when they took shit over, no different from the Buryats or the Merkits

Post your favorite philosophical quotes.

"Religion is a scam because God can't be real because it is opposit if what laws of physics say and I will happy to say otherwise if I see proof but I don't see it the world is based on proof it's the only thing that advances us and we can colonize planets if Christians go away we will have new medicines and cure cancer if weed is legal
>In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering in innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the highest and most mendacious minute of 'world history' - yet only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths the star grew cold, and the clever animals had to die.

Does a mythology need Gods?
>>885433
no
>>885433
yes
>>885433
No, it doesn't. But we're humans, so we're naturally drawn towards creating, postulating, and conceptualizing gods.
>The Constitutio Antoniniana was an edict issued in 212 by the Roman Emperor Caracalla declaring that all free men in the Roman Empire were to be given theoretical Roman citizenship and that all free women in the Empire were to be given the same rights as Roman women.
Was this the beginning of the fall of Rome?
How could we possibly answer that?
How could anyone pinpoint the exact edict that began the fall?
>>885417
Mixed bathing began the fall of Rome.
It certainly didn't help.
I think this belongs here and not /tv/. It's about what the shows are about, not the shows themselves.
Louis CK and Million Dollar Extreme present opposite perspectives on modern masculinity.
Million Dollar Extreme presents the furious testosterone-driven rage of angry young men. MDE says that ideals and goals are still worth fighting for, and that it is righteous to dole out repercussion to the idiots. The weak should fear the strong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCjC9BjPgoc
Louis CK on the other hand is burnt out, apathetic, ambivalent, lethargic...

most people are hedonistic and love their hedonism. hedonistic people live through entertainment, which brings the most pleasures with the least discomfort. hedonism is the nihilism and most people rely on their speculations about the future, from the past experiences, to enhance their hedonism.
I thought MDE was making fun of alt-righters but then I saw his interview with Fantano and it turns out he really is retarded.
Have female "rectal pads" always been as banging throughout history? Would/could a physically fit girl in medieval time frame of history have as nice of an ass of this? Or did humans not selectively breed for features as much throughout time?
>>885002
What's with all of these bums on /his/ today?
Fat asses were a sign of being well fed which meant the family was rich.
"fit" girls meant they worked. Generally because they needed money. Which meant the family wasnt rich and thus not desirable.
>>885002
Fat was loved for its representative value of caloric abundance and reservoir for breastfeeding children.

We even have the same obsession with psuedo-Roman iconography.
>>884899
>we're the only ones who use the term this way
Germany, Australia, and several others refers to them as states.
>>884913
I'm sure there's an explanation (perhaps that it's the only common way to represent governmental power without using the symbolism of a crown yet still have a recognizable historical appeal), but it just seems kind of try-hard and imitative when I look at it with fresh eyes.
Ey fellas:). Now, I haven't researched this very adequately, but, to me, it would make more sense if Hitler had just sent the 11 million people dying in concentration camps to war, especially since it was going so rough against the Soviet Union. Perhaps to the front lines, with all the risky jobs, and force them to suicide bomb or something. Then all the laborious tasks --that would have been carried out in concentration camps-- could be given to the people of Germany as jobs with pay to get the economy flowing. Is this reasoning super flawed?
The 11 million figure is supposed to include far more than those who died in camps. It would also count those murdered by Einsatzgruppen units at the front, killed in Nazi supported pogroms, etc.

Depends. Numbers from sound methodology are pretty good bets, though you should read for bias.
Can papists explain to me what's with the feet kissing?
Not familiar with that ritual
Pope has a foot fetish, could be worse. Could be much worse.
>>884429
jesus did it at the last supper therefore its important to christians
Its a sign of humbleness, meant as part (or a stand-in) for the religious tradition of washing the feet as Jesus had done for the apostles .
what's next for Dan Carlin's career?
will he ever touch on the steppe peoples / mongols ageen?
what does /his/ think of him?
Entertaining. Not always the most accurate in some cases, but he at least has decent sources and presents his content in a way that is appealing to entry-level people.
I want him to do a series on vikings
