What do you think was the main reason that World War 1 began? WW1 was a war that stretched from 1914 to 1918‚ resulting in unprecedented destruction and unimaginable consequences. Among the hundreds of debateable causes‚ many reasoned that Militarism‚ alliances‚ Nationalism‚ Imperialism and the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand are the most important ones that led to the start of the great war. Among these five‚ I believe that the alliances formed between countries are the main and most important

Athens was on the heliaia which was the supreme court‚ and on the boule which was a council made up of about 400 to 500 people (Olejnik‚ 2010; Howard‚ 2010). The boule now gained judicial functions which previously only the supreme court had control over (Howard‚ 2010). This change enabled the citizens of Athens to participate in political matters more easily and readily. They now have a higher level of authority than they previously had.

Most Christian scripture speaks of peace and love rather than of war. Little that is attributed to Jesus really advocates violence; most advocates peace‚ love‚ and service to others. How‚ then‚ has Christianity managed to be so violent? Justifying violence and war hasn’t been very hard‚ unfortunately. The fact that these religions also offer many statements on behalf of peace‚ love‚ and non-violence doesn’t change this. Religions offer contradictory statements on all issues‚ allowing people to find

So why persecute the Christians? Reasons for the persecution emerge from the record of Christianity’s first three centuries

The Season for Reason by Ari Armstrong‚ December 12‚ 2005 "Merry Christmas‚" one of my atheist friends warmly wished. Another of my atheist friends points out that December 25 also commemorates the birth of Isaac Newton‚ perhaps the greatest scientific genius of all time. Now‚ it seems‚ Newton was actually born on January 4‚ 1643‚ not December 25‚ 1642. But December 25 is not the actual birth date of Jesus‚ either; it is instead based on a season of pagan celebration. So I suppose "Merry Mithras
