  The former pastor who wrote this booklet realized his conscience could not accept at least three of the Bible's teachings. Some parts of it contradicted others and some scientific discoveries (not hypotheses) went against at least two of its teachings. This booklet is short because he wanted to focus on solid arguments against it all being "God-spirited."

  The Knights Templar have captivated the imagination of historians, writers, and conspiracy theorists for centuries. Founded in the early 12th century, this powerful and mysterious order of warrior monks played a significant role in medieval Europe and the Crusades. While their military strength was formidable, the Templars’ influence extended far beyond the battlefield, reaching into politics, finance, and even the cultural identity of Europe. Their legacy continues to inspire fascination and debate.  
  The origins of the Knights Templar trace back to the aftermath of the First Crusade when Christian forces recaptured Jerusalem. Amidst the unstable region, a group of knights led by Hugues de Payens pledged to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. These knights adopted strict vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, dedicating their lives to both spiritual devotion and military service. With the support of the influential Bernard of Clairvaux, the Templars gained recognition from the Catholic Church, receiving papal backing and exemption from local laws.  
  Over the following two centuries, the Knights Templar grew into a powerful institution. They established a network of fortresses across Europe and the Middle East, serving as both military outposts and financial hubs. The Templars became known for their innovations in banking, offering secure ways for pilgrims and nobles to transfer funds across vast distances. This financial prowess allowed them to accumulate significant wealth, making them indispensable to monarchs and rulers across Europe.

  In Warfighter, Colonel Jesse L. Johnson, one of the most decorated living American veterans, recounts the action-packed true-life tale of a man who stood and fought at the crossroads of history. Spanning forty years of conflict, from the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of Iran and Iraq, never has a modern military memoir covered such a vast landscape of all-out warfare. Never has one man fought on the frontlines of so many of America's most heroic battles. Johnson led the most elite forces on operations that defined eras past and present, mentoring young soldiers who would rise to become some of America's greatest generals. He held the ear of princes, kings, presidents, and even Hollywood movie stars. With an all-star cast worthy of an epic war film, this extraordinary hero's journey sheds new light on some of the most transformative events of our time—crises, conflicts, and covert operations that have shaped the world as we know it today. More important, Warfighter offers us a deeper understanding of the personal sacrifice and human toll of a lifetime at war, and the honor-bound code of a man whose instinct in battle was to always charge ahead of those under his command—into the fight.

  The Battle of Gettysburg stands as one of the most significant events in the American Civil War. Fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, it marked a turning point in the conflict, shifting momentum firmly in favor of the Union. It was the largest battle ever fought in North America, involving over 160,000 soldiers and resulting in nearly 50,000 casualties. The immense scale of the battle and the high human cost underscore its importance, but Gettysburg's significance goes beyond just the number of lives lost. It was a critical moment in the war, a pivotal clash that ultimately determined the future direction of the United States. 
  Before Gettysburg, the Confederate Army, led by General Robert E. Lee, had gained significant victories in the Eastern Theater, including the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia was emboldened by these successes and was determined to continue its efforts to win independence for the South. In the spring of 1863, Lee decided to take the fight to the North, hoping that a victory on Union soil would weaken Northern morale, pressure the U.S. government for a peace settlement, and gain international recognition for the Confederacy. His strategy was bold but fraught with risk, as it carried the potential to either decisively break the Union or set the stage for a resounding Confederate defeat. 
  On the other side, the Union Army, led by Major General George G. Meade, was in a period of transition. Meade had only recently been appointed to command, replacing General Joseph Hooker. The Union Army had been struggling to achieve decisive victories after a series of failures, and morale was low. However, the Union leadership understood that they could not afford another loss to the Confederacy. Gettysburg would become their test—a chance to halt Lee’s advance and potentially reverse the tide of the war.

  Philosophy for Beginners How to...

  Philosophy - the term sounds fascinating, beautiful, somehow romantic and harmonious, and at the same time like great intellectual effort. Yet philosophy is actually neither particularly romantic nor particularly strenuous.
  It is true that one has to use one's brain, and perhaps some things exceed normal common sense, but basically philosophy only means to be interested in man and the world. The image one has in one's mind of ancient Greek philosophers strolling in their long robes in the Athenian sun while exchanging their thoughts may seem romantic, but they often dealt with serious topics and many did not only make friends with their sometimes revolutionary thoughts.
  In this guide, I would like to give you a first insight into the great subject of philosophy and also bring it closer to you in a practical way. After an explanation of what philosophy is exactly and what it deals with concretely, I would like to introduce you not only some important philosophical currents and wisdoms of the philosophers, but also give you some exercises and tips on the way so that you can easily integrate philosophy into your life.
