cosmicway 1,333 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Only the crusades were religious wars (11-12th century) and if you look at those objectively the Europeans had as much right to reclaim the old Roman provinces as the Arabs had to conquer Magreb and Spain. There were no other religious wars. It's true though that in earlier centuries Christianity proved incapable to unite the peoples of Europe and further out and to bring an end to wars. But to say that the christian religion caused wars is an insane distortion of history. The muslims were less peaceful -that too is true- but in the 20th ceentury before Bin Laden, islam was not a warlike religion on the whole.

Some are, some are not. There are nations that have a lot of criminals and I would not say that all of their population is criminal. Some are, some are not. Some religions do have toxic opinions, some others do not have them. Depends on the religion.

Fact is Marx was inspired by Le Robespierre in this, but the communist state came to be regarded as the atheist's Mecca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,586 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Well today is the day, anyone has any predictions? Who wins and what impact it will have in the stock market? (I like to watch the stock market so I ask about this). I think if Trump wins stock market goes up a lot. If Biden wins the stock market goes down a lot. My prediction is that Trump wins by a small margin and the stock market is up big tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how tricky Dicky resigned ? He didn't want to have any of it then one day he walks into the oval office and finds ... Barry Goldwate sitting on the desk with his feet on the table as well. Barry had abandoned his cow-boy things back then and he was considered a senior rep statesman. Bary says to Dicky "Dicky the ball game is over" and after this Nixon resigned.

Cardi B > Little Pimp But for every Cardi B there is a Jack Black, Tom Hanks, Stevie Wonder, Eminem, Clooney, DiCaprio and so on. Even though showing off celebrity endorsers is like a dick measuring contest and doesn't mean much, I haven't seen any normal endorsers for Trump. Tekashi 69 and Kid Rock come to mind from the top of my head, now add Lil Pump to the mix, but there are most definitely more redneck celebs who I couldn't care less about. Lil Pump is one "artist" who I hate the most, so to me it's fitting him and Trump share a stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hollywood/Music industry is very much a liberal industry in the United States. It's easy and widely supported in the industry to be progressive and for Democratic policies. That said, it's increased the Secret Trump Voter syndrome among not only civilians, but celebrities given the fear of public out lash if they did show their allegiance. With some celebrities in fact, you can tell they are conservative but still don't publicly open up about their allegiance. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if its proven both Matthew McConaughey and Denzel Washington supported for Trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
