Not many know about it, but for those who do, i need help. I haven't used it in months, and life is getting hard. Any tips on how to get out of negativity and start using the secret daily again?
Please explain briefly OP.
Is it Pick Up Autist voodoo or something worthwhile?

Just be yourself :)

Law of Attraction is new age stupid bullshit that gets used by charlatans to try to sell you their courses/books/audiobooks/etc. If you need such a crutch to live your life, perhaps you should re-evaluate your life and look for something that is less of a faggy meme.
Can you guys help me into Taoism?
I've been reading the Tao Te Ching a bit and some of it speaks to me. The "Wu wei" concept particularly resonated.
I need some better interpretations and more viewpoints on it though.
You need to do less
Stop complicating all this, and watch the sunset

We cannot help explain it to you. Either you will figure it out or you won't. Step 1: stop searching for new info.
Excusing the subpar artstyle, thoughts on Existential Comics?
A lot of people are probably gonna miss the point of that comic.
He isn't saying Nietzzzcse is bad, he is saying teens reading niezzde often turn out worse than when they started.
>>936000
Below the comic itself the joke explanation is "teenagers usually badly misunderstand Nietzsche, and as a result become even more obnoxious."
>>936000
Nietzche is shit though.
Can somebody please explain to me this "Eternal Anglo" meme and what Oswald Mosley has to do with it?
>>935955
It's a single turk living a germany pushing this meme. I suspect he's a paid shill whose goal is to lower the quality of /pol/
>>935958
eternal anglo detected
>>935958
This happens every election cycle. Wait until Bernie drops out, and we'll see a dramatic rise in board quality once the money stops flowing.
Does Judaism stem from Atenism?
>>935611
There's interesting evidence to suggest so.
>>935611
probably the result of Atenism meeting Mesopotamian mythology.
>>935611
Probably this and a combination of ethnic Cannanite beliefs. The obsession with bulls seems to suggest common ground with the polytheistic paganism of the area. There's also evidence of Yahweh being depicted as some kind of horned god.

Why weren't chemical weapons used more in wwii?
>>934616
They were probably banned after WWI in general. Hitler had been on the receiving end of them personally in WWI so he refused to use them.
copypastad from some internet shitdick
>Like many people I had believed in the story that Hitler did not want to use gas because of his own trauma in the first world war (he was injured in a gas attack and temporarily blinded). It seems that this what not the case and that in fact Germany had produced large quantities of gas to be used to some extent against Great Britain, but mostly on the eastern front.
>According to the article the use of gas against Britain was hampered by the fact that by the time chemical weapons where available in large quantities there was no way to deliver them (the A4 rockets had not enough payload for a large scale attack and planes could by that time not easily operate above british soil).
>But apparently what really stopped the german plans was the fact that the allied forces had upped the ante by developing biological weapons which where (supposedly at least) much more deadly than mere poison gas. Germany had no big programs to develop biological weapons since Hitler did not believe they had enough potential to be useful (as I understand the article this had no deeper reason and was simply a misjudgment on his part. Apparently some Nazis underlings had run small developement progamms in concentration camps but (rather luckily) could not convince Hitler to allow large scale production). By the time the full potential/danger of biological weapons was recognized it was too late to catch up.
>So the authors conclude that the Nazis did not use chemical warfare because the allies could issue a plausible threat to retaliate with much more deadly and uncontainable biologicals weapons...
My immediate uneducated assumption was Hitler's personal experience with poison gas in the trenches, but the above plus the fact the wermacht used horses to pull equipment and no viable horse gas mask had been created.
>>934616
I want to smell their chemical weapons if you know what I mean.
/his/ memes and OC, I need it now.

Now you fell on the ground, laughing so hard that you cannot breathe.
All mainstream Christians believe that the story of the Garden of Eden is literal: the whole deal with the talking snake and a God that was personally walking on Earth and a tree with magic fruits.
See, if the story is not literal, then original sin is not real, and if original sin is not real, then the entire purpose of Christ's death and supposed resurrection (which the mythology states was necessary to absolve the original sin present in all men due to Eve's eating of the apple) was un-necessary
However, most - particularly Catholics - realize how ridiculous it is to believe in it literally, so the explain by saying it was a 'metaphor'.
Allegoricalism is heresy.
Popes are antichrists. The RCC is the continuation of the Babylonian mystery religion.

Looks like Saint Augustine was a heretic then.

Why do Brits hold on so much to their muh empire?
Because they are still proud of the empire they used to rule.
Next question.
>>933604
Why are they proud of subjugating a bunch of natives?
Going to be interesting to see how many jump ship as soon as Elizabeth croaks. My guess would be at least half of "commonwealth" nations, maybe more.
>DUDE! Hitler was a christian and nazis were christian extremist!
post retarded history memes that need to fucking die

>special deal on french rifles, dropped once never fired hurr-durr
Nobody says that
>>933290
No one that matters says this.
>>933296
No one worth listening to thinks this unironically.
Early Christianity started out and mostly spread the Roman empire and the Levant dye to the shape of borders and infrastructure. These locations consist almost only of Europeans and Levantines. Christianity didn't spread to China until a good bit later, America until the exact moment Columbus went over and didn't get any good hold in subsaharan Africa until the Europeans came over.
Christianity (Jesus) is the requirement for entering Heaven.
Knowing this, is it safe to say that God preferred Europeans and Levantines over all other "races" using only the theology of Christianity?
Is there any other explanation?
>>933134
Christianity is a religion based off of Judaism which has a literal chosen people, so I don't think it's that far off to say the Christian god plays favorites.
Christian here.
Basically, your argument boils down to
>What about people who never heard of Jesus?
The question is often asked, "If faith in Jesus is the only way to have eternal life with God, what about all of the people who have never heard of Jesus?" There are a variety of opinions on the answer and a variety of people who ask the question.
Sometimes this question is asked by people who only want to throw up a smoke-screen and who really don't care about the answer. Such a person needs to understand that on the day of judgment, the issue will not be about the heathen in general, but each person in particular (including the questioner). He will be held accountable for his own personal knowledge of Jesus and what he did with that knowledge.
Others, however, genuinely struggle with the issue, so an answer is important to give. And to properly answer the question, a number of key biblical areas need to be examined.
The first area concerns the nature of God. The Bible says that God is a good and righteous God who will deal rightly with all people: "Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity" (Psalm 98:8-9). The Scriptures also say He is all-powerful, so He has the ability to reach and save everyone He desires: "Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases" (Psalm 115:3). The Bible also records that God is all-knowing, so the situation and whereabouts of every person is known to Him: "You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar" (Psalm 139:2).
>>933151
The second area needing review is what the Bible says about the knowledge every person has about God. Even if a person has not been introduced to the name of Jesus, the Bible says he intuitively knows about God from creation, according to the Old Testament: "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world" (Psalm 19:1–4).
The New Testament specifically says that people know about God, but reject Him: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse" (Romans 1:18-20). The word "excuse" in the Greek is apologia, which means "defense." No one will have a right to stand before God and claim ignorance of His existence.
A third topic needing discussion to answer the question concerns the state of all humanity – all people everywhere are lost and need God's grace and deliverance from their sin. The Bible says, "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God" (Romans 3:10-11). Everyone from birth sins against God because all have a built-in law of failure: "Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest" (Ephesians 2:3 NASB, emphasis added).
No romanticist kitsch edition.

Love this one.
Were states a mistake?
They made sense at the time.
Now they are becoming more and more irrelevant, interestingly.
better than a patchwork of warlords
The German one was.
HRE for life!
>Civil War
>it was about slavery. I swear!
>History board
>It's not /pol/ with dates, i swear!
>>932603
I dont go to /pol/
>>932601
Even if it wasn't 'about' slavery, slavery is what led to it. Take slavery out of the equation completely and tell me the Civil War would have still happened. The fact that slavery was legal in every single seceding state and the fact blacks were treated like labor animals even after slavery ended was just a fucking coincidence?
Seriously, what reason to people have to have to distance the Confeds and slavery?
