Is the generally accepted version of history a faith based religion?

[Jesster]

Oh goody we have gone from Christian creationists to Atheist conspiracy nuts

Surprise! The conspiracy nut is also a Christian (or so it says in their profile).

[Thumpalumpacus]

Generally accepted history has many flaws, but there is usually some evidence for it.  It can be refuted, changed or updated if challenged, it isn't fixed dogma.  
There is absolutely nothing religious about history.

Does it fit the definition of "faith based"?  No.  
Does it fit the definition of "Religion"?  No.

Easy, the answer is no.

I disagree we have no way to witness anything other then my own experiances its our faith in "historians" and "experts" and "text books" ask clergy and religious text of government approved story on who we are and what we came from... so yeah religion, a godless socialist religion.

History is not faith-based, to the working historian.

Yeah because to make it so far as to be recognized as a "historian" by the main stream our nations liberal universities made sure he stays in lock step and doesnt get to far off the official story. You gather to listen to your history teachers aka clergy and read you history books and articles aka religious text and worship your favorite historic characters aka idols. History is a scam.

A hypothesis that cannot be falsified is essentially a bald claim bereft of support. Especially when one can conduct one's own research into historical events, and especially when one considers the multiplicity of views espoused by historians on a wide variety of events. At that point, it is not faith; it is evidence and reasoned argumentation.

And finally, even if your claim about history were true, what is it that would exempt your own view of it from the claim you yourself lay?

Fair enough. Im here if you change your mind.

And I'm here if you want to share some jokes. You started, so I can go next.

What was the last thing that went through Princess Diana's mind?

The windscreen.

It is very hard to almost impossible to predict what happened long ago in the past

That's... not how predictions work.

For a given value of 'work', obviously.

As Barney would say, "he's a nut."

Says the guy that admits to creating his own facts.

Dude, when even GC can recognize right away that you're bonkers, you've gone way off the deep end.

I've heard that, but with a radiator, not a windscreen...

What was the sound of the ambulance that went to their rescue?

Dodi-Di, Dodi-Die, Dodi-Di...

I made it about 4 minutes and change before deciding you are a Poe.

Lenin died in 1924.  He was not sitting in Moscow in 1941 waiting for communications from besieged Leningrad!  He most assuredly was not expecting them from Trotsky who Stalin had murdered in Mexico in 1940 and who was thus NOT in command of Soviet Forces in the Leningrad area.  That was Lt. Gen. Popov.

Remember what I said about facts.

What about Kennedy being the President during WWII or the V2 rocket being a space program?!

Fuck, I laughed. Then I switched off.

You didn't get to the part where Walt Disney offered Hitler a trip to Disneyland and Hitler(the most wanted man on the planet) was thrilled to take a little vacation from the war?
