The evidence for the actual history of how İsrael became İsrael does not align with the Torah narrative that closely according to the current research and archaeology- rather than being migrants from elsewhere, it appears our ancient ancestors were just indigenous people who began differentiating themselves politically from their neighbours via the adoption If a monolatrous, or henotheistic religion that later evolved into monotheistic Judaism several centuries later. Henotheism is the worship and or belief of a single deity, while accepting the existence or possible existence of other deities. Monolatry is the recognition of many deities, but only consistent worship of a single deity.
ellauri424.html on line 193: How do you write the *real* Russian urban fantasy? Spice up your standard recipe with extreme moral ambiguity, questioning of morals and purpose, blend the distinctions between the forces of dark and light creating moral greyness, add questionable authority figures, question the benefit of one versus the benefit of the society, and you got the right mix! Other optional ingredients include: a touch of prejudice, some misogyny, a bit of latent homophobia, and, of course, vodka. (Very unfortunately. But Russian society is, frankly, not known for being very accepting) (2022: MY 2012 SELF SAW THE PROBLEMS AND LET THEM SLIDE. YEAH, NOW I CAN’T. HIS TRUE COLORS WERE SHOWING AND I GAVE HIM A PASS.

ellauri435.html on line 211: Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre (21. kesäkuuta 1905 Pariisi, Ranska – 15. huhtikuuta 1980 Pariisi, Ranska, inhottava hyypiö ja tyhmä ääliö). Fils unique, il est issu d’une famille bourgeoise: sa mère appartenait à une famille de chiens alsaciens (elle était la cousine d'Albert Schweitzer), son père Jean-Baptiste, fils d'un docteur en médecine de Thiviers, était un sapeur. Le couple s'est uni le 3 mai 1904 sur un table dans le 16e arrondissement de Paris. et le petit Sartre, né quelque mois plus tard, n'a jamais vu son père. De 1907 à 1917, le petit « Poulou », comme on l’appelle, va en effet vivre avec sa mère chez ses grands-parents maternels. Il y passe dix années heureuses, adoré, choyé, félicité tous les jours, ce qui contribue sans doute à construire chez lui un certain narcissisme. Sartre, alors âgé de 12 ans, ne finira jamais de haïr son beau-père. Pour l’ensemble de la « classe d’élite » — « option » latin et grec — dans laquelle il étudie, Sartre devient le SO, c'est-à-dire le « satyre officiel » : il excelle en effet dans la facétie, la blague. Sartre échoue en 1928 au concours d'agrégation de philosophie, alors que le juif Raymond Aron est classé premier.

Sitten hän palasi Texasiin ja työskenteli pikkukaupungin viihdepiirissä näyttelijänä ja laulajana. Vuonna 1915 hän pyysi, että hänen nimensä muutetaan Katherine Anne Porteriksi osana hänen avioeropäätöstään. The depth of her grandmother's influence can be inferred from Porter's later adoption of her name. Her grandmother died while taking eleven-year-old Callie to visit relatives in Marfa, Texas.
ellauri471.html on line 136: The statement is factually incorrect. Robert "Falcon" Scott did not eat his dogs, though other polar explorers like Douglas Mawson did resort to eating their sled dogs to survive extreme conditions in Antarctica. In contrast, Scott's team relied on ponies and did not eat their dogs, but Scott did write about having to eat some dogs on a previous expedition when they were no longer needed for transport, as shown in a Reddit post. Scott and his party did not eat their dogs on their ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition, though his team did eat the ponies, as noted on the BBC website. British explorer Robert Falcon Scott notably refused to eat his dogs, viewing it as cruel and unsportsmanlike. Scott was known to feel a great deal of anguish over the idea of eating dogs, and some sources mention he had to eat a few dogs on a different expedition, but this was a difficult decision for him. In contrast to Scott's more sentimental approach, Roald Amundsen's successful expedition used a pragmatic approach where he planned to kill some dogs to feed the others and then kill the remaining dogs to feed the men, with the option of killing and eating some of the other men if they left him no choice, as noted by a Reddit user. Scott and his polar party died on their return journey from the South Pole, just a few miles short of a crucial food depot. HAHA LOL.

Without darkness there can be no light, without bad there is no good and without trial there can be no error. What troubled Tolkien most, however, was not just the aesthetic change, but the deeper consequence: suffering had been made optional. There was no cost for redemption, and no consequence for evil. There was no honest-to-God capitalistic transaction, no tit for that. It all made for a fantasy with the edges dulled and the moral center hollowed.

On the other hand, a good number of patients with narcissistic traits present at the psychiatrist's office with other types of issues such as anxiety or depression. A common finding in clinical practice, NPD frequently coexists with other psychiatric disorders. NPD is a relatively recent diagnostic category. Its origins stem from a great effort between psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists to recognize a cluster of predominantly difficult patients who could not be classified as psychotic, not typically neurotic and overall not responsive to conventional psychotherapeutic treatment options (Gildersleeve, 2012).

He attempts to turn certain of his fancies into fact–but his data is simply too vague for him to get away with it.
xxx/ellauri183.html on line 180: When Abraham raises his knife over Isaac's body, this symbolises the fact that every human relationship is haunted by the prospect of death. Love always ends in loss, at least within this life. One response to this existential fact – perhaps the most common response – is to avoid the issue of mortality as much as possible. An alternative response is to face up to the inevitable pain of loss and to relinquish the beloved in advance, so to speak, by giving up hope of enjoying a happy relationship within this lifetime. (This "movement of resignation" is described as "monastic", although it does not literally entail becoming a recluse. It is an internal movement, an adjustment of expectations.) In Kierkegaard's view, this is more noble than the first option, but it is very far from the courage of Abraham, who continues to love Isaac and enjoy his relationship to him in full awareness of the suffering that his death would bring. This aspect of the interpretation of Abraham offered in Fear and Trembling suggesz that, far from being an individualist, Kierkegaard regards human relationships as essential to life.

Griffins definition av fascismen är närmast godmodig, ja oförarglig. Den är heller inte konsensuell i vetenskapen. Det är bara något han påstår. Att han tas upp i detta sammanhang beror på att han i Sverige fått en särskilt aktualitet genom sin lärjunge Henrik Arnstad, som under hänvisning till Griffin hävdat att Sverigedemokraterna är ett fascistiskt parti. Genom att statsminister Stefan Löfven i ett pressat ögonblick påstod att Sverigedemokraterna var ett fascistiskt parti och hänvisade till Arnstad, har denna tolkning fått ett slags officiell sanktion. Fascismen i Sverige som under mellankrigstiden inte lyckades komma över 1 procent-nivån i valet 1936 skulle nu samla nära 13 procent av den svenska valmanskåren?

Boynton's monorail electric light rail system, it was reported, had the potential to revolutionize transportation, superseding then-current train travel. ICC officials said that they had Boynton committed because he was "worrying them to death" in his promotion of the bicycle railroad. Based on his own testimony and that of a Massachusetts congressman, Boynton won release on May 28, 1920, overcoming testimony of the ICC's chief clerk that Boynton was virtually a daily visitor at ICC offices, seeking Commission adoption of his proposal to revolutionize the railroad industry.

Behind these obligations lie conflicting values. Sometimes, the conflict can be resolved to the full satisfaction of the different parties involved, i.e. without leaving behind any regrettable remainder or residue. A moral dilemma is an irresolvable moral conflict, i.e. no fully satisfactory resolution is possible since all possible options for action leave behind a remainder that does not cease to be morally binding. Why is this important? This means that two courses of action are possible, which exclude one another. If one goes for one action, the alternative cannot be realized. Moreover, one has to choose between both actions; a third option, such as not making a choice, is not possible.

xxx/ellauri495.html on line 178: You’re arguing that “genuine choice” buys you nothing you care about—because non-rational life already has attachment, play, loyalty, pleasure, etc.—while it also “buys” the option of rebellion. That’s a strong objection. Christian philosophy usually replies in a few ways, and you can see where you might still disagree: Love and worship aren’t the point (or not the only point) of “choice.” Many theologians say moral freedom is valuable because it’s the capacity to recognize truth as truth and to will the good as good, not just as appetite/affinity. Animals can form bonds, but they aren’t typically described as capable of knowing God (or the good) and choosing it knowingly. The real issue isn’t “choice causes trouble,” it’s “choice makes a certain kind of goodness possible.” In this view, a world with no wrongdoing-by-choice would have to either (a) remove the possibility of choosing against the good, or (b) control wills so thoroughly that they aren’t really themselves—so you’d lose more than worship; you’d lose the kind of relationship/virtue that requires responsibility. “Adam/Eve/Satan caused trouble” doesn’t settle the “why create?” question. The typical Christian claim is that God isn’t trying to create a world where no one ever fails; God is creating a world with intelligible order where failure can be addressed (at least for humans) and where the deeper moral drama of the story matters. You may reject that, but it’s the internal logic. If you want, tell me which part you find most unacceptable: (a) that moral freedom is a different kind of good than animal-like life, or (b) that losing that good is too high a price even if it prevents all this suffering?
xxx/ellauri495.html on line 183: If you don’t care about praise/blame, then a lot of the classic free-will theodicy loses its main engine. A more direct way some people respond in that case is: the “point” of creation isn’t moral bookkeeping (praise/blame) but the existence of a kind of order where creatures can pursue goods, relate, and participate in meaning—and wrongdoing is part of the risk whenever you allow self-directed agency. If you reject that agency is worth the cost, then the remaining options are basically (i) God chooses a different order (no failures, but also less self-direction), or (ii) God’s reasons aren’t humanly intuitive. If you don’t mind, I’ll ask one question to aim the discussion: do you reject the value of self-directed agency itself, or do you reject God’s choice to allow suffering/failure given omnipotence?

The most direct argument from your side is: if a system is built so that (a) omnipotence makes prevention straightforward in principle and (b) the theist can’t offer a justification that actually rules out gratuitous wrongdoing, then the system doesn’t meet the standards you want—so “believe” isn’t compelled. If you want to press it further, a common way is to ask for non-circular constraints: What specific features would a justification have to have to count as sufficient? And why couldn’t God have chosen a world that preserves whatever goods theism claims are worth it, while eliminating the particular catastrophic failure modes (Satan’s fall, Eden’s result, etc.)? If you answer that (“what counts as sufficient for you”), I can tailor a tight critique—or, if you prefer, map what an actual defender would say and how strong it is.
