Hello, Christians
I've devised a simple test to see if you are Catholic or Protestant (and its denominations). Please answer the following questions
1. Having only faith in Jesus is enough for your eternal Salvation
2. There are some Christians who are more Christian than others
3. Going to church should be mandatory of all Christians
4. Human Salvation is predetermined
5. A Christian must also do some sort of action if he/she is to get into Heaven
6. Divine Scriptures are open to human interpretation and should be interpreted...

1 No
2 Yes
3 Yes

5 Yes
6 I think they're open to interpretation, and should be interpreted rather than being read literally, but the techniques done so should be developed by theological disciplines, not the way you'd analyze something by Joyce or the like.

How would the world be different today if religion never had existed, and instead a major world wide focus on science took its place?
This is a hypothetical history thread.
Would we be 1000 years more advanced?
You have to be 18 or over to post here.
>>560845
Nice meme. Take your own advice though.
>How would the world be different today if religion never had existed
The world would be much less rich without mythology and great works of human imagination
On the other hand senseless cruelty born from superstition like human sacrifice wouldn't occur.
There would need to be some educated organization to gather knowledge without the work of early monks and priests
Overall nothing would really change. Humans are assholes when it suits us.

Can historical revisionism ever be used for good? Or will it always be up to ideological bias thus never be true or beneficial to anyone.
The danger is this
>history is being rewritten/revised
>majority believes in the lie
>..some people do research and uncover the truth
>majority accuses this minority of being history revisionists
I can't count the times I've been called a "tinfoil" or "conspiracy nut" by retards.
It's silly to think something can't be beneficial to anyone because it's following an ideology; especial that it can't be beneficial to those following said ideology.
>>560432
Please, History is being revised everyday.
All of our world leaders, atheletes, celebrities, and high class business men have beyond millions of dollars.
Living in a predominately secular age, the world is concerned with scientific and technological advancement.
Yet, you have the lower class struggling, working harder physically, and third-world societies that are starving themselves to their own end.
If the world has all the resources to make everyone equal and help those who are in direct need, why don't they?

You're right OP, you're the only one on the planet who has everything figured out and it's totally a shame that you don't get all the Nobel prizes and Superbowls
That's why we need Islam, inshallah
>If the world has all the resources to make everyone equal and help those who are in direct need, why don't they?
Because they don't and you can't and you shouldn't. Attempts to do so are the biggest source of evil in our age.

I'm just curious fellow atheists on /his/- do you go to bed at night hoping you're wrong? That there actually is a god(s) coupled with an afterlife with a pie in the sky for every man and woman ever born? Part of the reason why I attack religion with every argument I can summon is to try to squeeze some actual evidence from it so that I might actually reassesses my position and realize that somewhere, something was overlooked, and that one religion is in fact, true. Because the alternative is a depressing universe where all ends in oblivion, and our lives may as well have never even been lived in the first place with the demise of our consciousness. The atheist's universe is a scary, depressing place with no redeeming qualities besides drowning yourself in hedonism until your forget about your inevitable fate.
Accuse me of a blogposting or whatever, but going to bed right now, I really, really hope I'm wrong.
>>558502
No.
>>558524
So you want to be right and utterly cease to exist?
>>558502
I don't want to be right or wrong, based on my own preferences, but more accurate.
So why did battle chariots pulled by horses stop being a thing/ never became a thing in other areas in favor of just riding horses(cavalry)? Was it due to geography of most open fields (say in places in Greece and Italy)compared to large stretches of flat land in Egypt and surrounding areas?
>>557998
After the development of the stirrup chariots were obsoleted.
Celtic chariots were operated on rolling terrain.
Terrain doesn't matter because fields of battle tend to be picked and limited in archaic war, continuous front warfare was developed in the 19th century.
>>557998
Chariots initially were the only way you could use horses as transport
Because they used to be fuck tiny and very skittish about cunts on top of em.
People from Central Asia/Eurasian STeppes then figured out how to ride them by breeding bigger breeds and breaking them in by making them used to the idea that a cunt on top of em isnt gonna kill them.
Probably lack of suitable terrain mostly. Does anyone whether a chariot or a rider could cover the same distance quicker?
No saddest thing in history has ever happened, where the right ones lost the war and democracy perished..

Why? Spain would've turned into another commie shithole. Instead Franco saved the day and paved the way for 50 years of prosperity.
Post 1/2 (OP was too long to fit)
Hi /his/, I wanted to share my own personal beliefs on why we exist and the nature of the universe. I'm not sure if anyone has ever thought along these lines before, but I'd be glad to hear some opinions even if you think what I believe is naive or overly optimistic.
I am a spiritual person, but I don't believe in or follow any religion. My understanding of my own existence is a mixture of spirituality and pure logic.

Post 2/2
Here's where my own personal spiritual beliefs come in:
I believe that when we die we return to a higher level of conciousness, in the 4th and 5th dimensions. I also believe that our existence in this lower dimension is something that our higher dimensional selves have volunteered for, as there are lessons and knowledge that can only be acquired while living in this lowered state of conciousness. I believe the extremes of Joy, Pleasure, Glory, Anguish, Pain, and Suffering can only be experience in this lowered state of conciousness. It is that...

>This means that each individual life happens for a reason, which is another way of saying that every life has a PURPOSE.
no it doesn't
I'm here for a reason, yes - my parents had sex in just the right position at just the right time for myself to be the one that was born, it could have been any other of the sperm cells but I was the first one in because of this timing, position or any other events that took place
does this mean that I have a purpose? no

In World War 2, why did the Allies land on the beaches that were heavily fortified with pillboxes and machine gunners and whatnot? Surely there were some beaches in Europe that were not being defended by the Germans.
>>555537
Nexto to the Allied bases? Not as much as may think.
>>555537
They did: in Sicily and later in South Italy. But Stalin demanded that the western Allies made a landing elsewhere as well, to open up a new front and divert some Axis troops away from the Eastern front.
Churchill prefered a landing somewhere in the Adriatic (either Istria or Dalmatia), as they could coordinate a joint operation with the partisans. The Americans, on the other hand, prefered to launch a landing on the Atlantic coast. Normandy was much closer to Britain than the Adriatic was to the Allied positions...

Are you of/descended from nobility /his/? share some historical info about your famrey.
>>554830
Of course I am.
>>554830
To my knowledge, no.
My father's side of the family is Irish/German. We don't know much about the Irish side, but I do know the German side came from Silesia during the 1800s. This is the Coast of Arms for the German side of my ancestry.
My mother's side is mostly English. Though she has always maintained we have some Jamaican heritage. I'm skeptical, but my aunt has found a plantation owner in the West Indies in our ancestry.
>>554830
A drop, someone in our family was a bastard son of a Swedish nobleman, he lived 200-300 years ago.
