Is Livius.org a good resource to learn about ancient history? Is it more in-depth than just wikipedia articles?

Were the confederates ideological revolutionaries?
take the moral question of slavery out of the question and look at it like this.
The country is growing bigger with more openly hostile towards you. Youre economy is booming, but it seems the Federal Government is moving closer and closer to ending it all+youre losing any and all clout within this government to stop it. And the founding fathers have established the idea that a corrupt and all powerful government is justified in being cast off/overthrown.
So you have all this, the age old rivalry between Federalist s Ant-Federalist (now in the form of Republican vs Democrat) and not to mention the cultural difference which meant one half of the country hated the other half and vice versa. So these states saw all of this and said "fuck it, lets just leave"

The Confederates weren't losing political clout with the federal government.The reason Lincoln won the 1860 election was that the Democrats had split their vote between Douglas and Breckenridge.Plus in Lincoln's inaugural address he basically says he's not going to mess with slavery.

yes they were. The newly acquired western territories were all going to be free states, so free states would astly out number slave states.
Lincoln was an avid abolitionist, and they knew it was only a matter of time before it happened.

Religious studies as a theologian or as a historian?

More as an historian. However, I might be more interested in the sociological or anthropological issues regarding religion.

Do you have areas of particular interest? Religious studies is a field where everybody specializes in something. There aren't really people that write about it generally.

Why are there very few Spanish and Portuguese scientists or philosophers compared to the English, the French, the Germans and even Italians, despite being comparable powers throughout history?

Not a good answer
I can name tens of French chemists, English physicians and German mathematicians but can't name a single Spanish one. Why?
>>
Because the Reformation was an important step toward individual autonomy, putting an end to mental control and dogma
Of course, the Enlightenment was the culmination of this new search for truth, knowledge, and rational thinking.

Why has Christianity historically placed so much emphasis on belief as opposed to ethics and law.
Judaism, obviously, is a system of laws that relegates belief to a few critical precepts and leaves the continuum of elaborated belief to the subject of opinion or personal insight.
Islam, the same, while placing some emphasis on belief in Muhammad as a prophet, the prophets being divinely inspired and perfect in their teachings, and in accordance to some of the narrative concerning the establishment of the faith, still places the majority of its focus on law and ethics.
Christianity, in its development, rushed to form councils to pass creeds of faith and then elaborated those creeds to incorporate saints (in the case of Catholic Church) and seems to drone on and on about believing the metaphysical claims of the respective Churches.
Why?

they had to incorporate pagan religions all over Europe into Christianity and they got into fights every step of the way , such as the holy trinity
>>
>>2646056
You don't understand Christian theology. The trinity is a core part of Christian doctrine. They could have gone Arianism root but chose not to do to conviction. It has nothing to do with pleasing pagans who in most cases were so primitive they didn't even concept of god beyond a physical tree.
>>
Christian ethics are about becoming God, so the doctrine of Christ as God and man, since he is the medium of our transformation, was always vital.

Is there any way to defend the imperialism of King Leopold II? Did he do anything even remotely defendable like build infrastructure or educate the populace? Was there any net economic benefit to the Congo from his actions?

>>2645941
Yes, he's actually largely remembered as "the builder king" due to his public works projects.
Likewise, in the Congo they remember him for ending "Arab Slavery" (probably not actual Arabs, but rather various Muslim Africans).
It's only Western SJWs who remember him so negatively.
>>
>>2645960
Oh wow. I had assumed that other European powers had ended the slave trade in Africa prior to him. That's a pretty good thing then.
What do you mean by the builder king? Were these the projects he sponsored in Belgium or did he also do these in the Congo?
>>
>>2646000
He didn't end the slave trade, he enslaved the locals himself.
