If God is omnipresent does that mean everything that exists is God?
>>2322476
it means god is present at all locations. it doesn't mean he is all that is present.
>>2322476
That depends on what kind of God you have in mind.
>>2322476
"They" talk about their god in the third person (he) often, as if neither listener nor that their words they babble are from their god.
"They" also talk possessively about their god (my god) often.
Can't really expect any intelligence out of people who are in a cult, cult-ure. They merely repeat what's always been done, thoughtlessly and ignorantly, blindly and unquestioningly.

How did Sweden BTFO every single one of it's neighbors?
>Who is Tordenskjold
It's funny, when I'm hanging out with my Norwegian brothers, we can always talk about what the fuck Sweden is up to these days. Go suck an immigrants cock.
As we had a small population at the time, we was forced to drill the army really hard to make it effektiv. We created an early form of conscription, called indelningverket, where every province would raise an regiment with around 1200 soldiers.
We also had some of the best military minds of the 17th century with people like Gustav II Adolf and Charles XI, both who made improvment to the system.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotment_system#New_system
>>2322128
as an example of how effective the system where, a regiment of mercenary could take months to be put up and be ready for action, while a swedish regiment only needed a couple of days.
Our soldiers where also among the finest in all of Europa in that time.
Why was Britain always a cultural backwater compared to Germany and France?

It's about sons surpassing their fathers and the futulity of the father's efforts to supress them in fear of no longer being the greatest in the family. And other shit sprinkled in.

Childhood is believing the renaissance were a romantic time of peace and enlightenment.
Adulthood is realizing the renaissance had some of the bloodiest battles the world has ever seen.
Discussion is pic related and having to talk about religious wars.
Also general thread about the wars of the renaissance vs. Other wars in the western world.
I thought the Renaissance were rather peaceful. Besides the religious wars, what else happened?
>>2321369
Was the Renaissance the true "Dark Age"?
>countless religious wars and massacres
>massive wars destroying entire nations (30 years War, Deluge)
>start of colonialism and imperialism
>start of absolutist monarchy
>rise in mysticism and superstition (see Paracelsus and others hacks, witch hunts, werewolf hysteria)
But some rich guys in Italy had some painting made for them, so Renaissance?
However 1500-1650 had the best military aesthetics.The age when plate armor, halberd spears and guns were used at the same time. Leather, steel cuirass, feathered hats. 18th century ruined it with silly colored uniform.

>According to a 1997 article released around the time of the blockbuster filmTitanic, Hosono soon found himself the target of public condemnation. It is correct to say that he was publicly condemned in the United States.He was described as a "stowaway" aboard lifeboat 10 byArchibald Gracie, who wrote a best-selling account of the disaster, while the seaman in charge of the boat, Able Seaman Edward Buley, told a US Senate inquiry that Hosono and the other man must have disguised themselves as women in order to sneak aboard.
