I'm always facinated to hear about tactics, equipment and units used later or earlier then you'd generally expect.

DEUS VULT thread?
History is fun. Archaeology is fun. Can't quite get my finger on what the practical value of either of those are, though. How is studying any of these useful in life? What can you achieve through studying either of these as anything more than just a hobby?
I want to go out in the field and lab, go for a degree in archaeology. Being able to piece together history interests me greatly. However, the above mindset keeps haunting me and it's demotivating as fuck. Wherever I look on- or offline, the McDegree meme pops up.
Is there any reason to not turn law...

And how is that of any use?
it is fun and a sizeable number of people find it to be interesting
why do you need something to have inherent 'value'? Law sounds dry as fuck and possible route to an hero if you don't have any true passion for it
>>1384064
If you find them as ends unto themselves that they have value and if you find that their value is greater than the opportunity cost in the material or sentimental benefits in some other field, yeah sure go into history or archaeology. Just understand that doing it for material reasons is misguided.
this is probably the most active christian debater of our time
i often hear people accusing him of sophistry and of the usage of "tricks"
even as an atheist i have the impression that this guy honestly tries to argue for gods existence from the standpoint of philosophy even if i think hes wrong
could someome come up with an example of him being intentionally dishonest or using other dishonest tricks to sound persuasive ?
you can also bring up general dishonest tricks that other apologists might use to convince people
>>1384034
No, because he doesn't need to. The position that there is no God is inherently indefensible.
>>1384034
Example of cognitive dissonance:
>1) Objective morality exists (some things are just *wrong*). This proves God's existence.
>2) God can kill children in the OT because morality can change on God's whim.
His ideology is Divine Command theory to explain Biblical atrocity, but he still argues that morality has an objective purpose whenever he tries to argue for God's existence in stand alone.
>>1384034
He says you can't bring up the OT when arguing for the existence of God, but he does use the possibility of Jesus's resurrection to argue for God's existence. If you bring up how blatantly incorrect the OT is, the NT fails by default, so it doesn't matter how believable the resurrection story is on its own, if you can prove the set-up was a fable.
