I mean article 5 will mean absolutely nothing in the event of the SAA striking Turkey back in retaliation . But I ' m not sure how it ' d work with Russia launching retaliatory cruise missiles for example instead of the SAA bombing Turkish artillery pieces . <| sep |> I hope they do this . I ' d love to see an independent Scotland . <| sep |> Most civilizations throughout history seem to follow this pattern polytheism monotheism secularism . Polytheism is about trying to understand the world , particularly the forces of nature . Sun God , Rain God , Fertility Goddess , etc . Monotheism seems to come about when the gap for the god of the gaps is closing up or when a group of people is being oppressed and needs a figure to give them hope that the highest being is on their side , as in the case of Judaism , which comes from polytheistic traditions . Monotheism gives a person a special relationship with a deity who created them intentionally with a purpose , so individualism spurs it on .
