>Otherwise, Christianity General Thread. Open discussion from all believers and non-believers welcome, but let's be civil.

I'm in the same situation as OP. I would have converted to Catholicism a long time ago if not for Pope Francis. Convince me Orthodoxy is the true faith.

I don't get why people will go "I converted but I don't know what to, convince me of a doctrine to blindly follow".

Not even trying to come off as an edgy atheist I just really don't fucking get it, if you were going to convert wouldn't you have selected the one YOU thought was right?

As a Balkanigger I don't think you'll really find anything unbiased. Maybe start with English wikipedia until you have a somewhat decent grasp of the period you're interested in (which is?). And then maybe start threads here and try to filter out the obvious autistic nationalists.

They wuz romans and tri moreta and shiet.

Then turks came and turned them into the mexicans of Europe.

I think any loyalists who expressed opinions like that wouldn't have joined the army.

5% took part in the revolution, 10% supported it without acting, 4% were active loyalist and 81% hated the revolution but didnt act

>>1846330
Like 20 to a quarter were loyalists and about 80,000 left after the war to the British Empire. The patriots made up a minority of the population. Most people just wanted to get by.

About a third were loyalist while another third where neutral. The patriots effectively suppressed both groups in the years before the first shots were fired. Most of the regiments of loyalists fought against the patriots where recruited by the British from territory they captured. Also do your own research you lazy faggit.

sometimes the lie aint that noble

>>1846191
What is ignoble about promoting social cohesion through "lies" of the nation and religion?

Take, for example, the Rwandan genocide. Would it have been ignoble for Bill Clinton to lie that Rwanda had weapons of mass destruction, despite the fact he'd be saving millions of lives? Would it be ignoble for George Bush to do the same and in the process stall a regional arms race between Sunnis (Saudis), Shias (Iranians), Secular expansionists (iraq), and Jews (israel)?

I'm just wondering what are the counter-arguments used by intellectuals, not your own political thoughts.

well what if Bill lied about Rwanda having WMD's to take over the government and secure a new puppet government that would do whatever the US told them to do, including securing deals for Bills Business buddies?

America turned into a desolated nuclear shithole full of mohawk punks.

>Why polacks attacked tanks with sabres?
They didn't. It's a lie.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_cavalry#Cavalry_charges_and_propaganda

>The first and perhaps best known happened on September 1, 1939, during the Battle of Krojanty. During this action, elements of the 18th Pomeranian Uhlan Regiment met a large group of German infantry resting in the woods near the village of Krojanty. Colonel Mastalerz decided to take the enemy by surprise and immediately ordered a cavalry charge, a tactic the Polish cavalry rarely used as their main weapon. The charge was successful and the German infantry unit was dispersed.

>The same day, German war correspondents were brought to the battlefield together with two journalists from Italy. They were shown the battlefield, the corpses of Polish cavalrymen and their horses, alongside German tanks that had arrived at the field of battle only after the engagement. One of the Italian correspondents sent home an article,[5] in which he described the bravery and heroism of Polish soldiers, who charged German tanks with their sabres and lances. Other possible source of the myth is a quote from Heinz Guderian's memoirs, in which he asserted that the Pomeranian Brigade had charged on German tanks with swords and lances.[6] Although such a charge did not happen and there were no tanks used during the combat, the myth was disseminated by German propaganda during the war with a staged Polish cavalry charge shown in their 1941 reel called "Geschwader Lützow".[1]

>On 21 September 2009, The Guardian was forced to publish an admission that his article "repeated a myth of the second world war, fostered by Nazi propagandists, when it said that Polish lancers turned their horses to face Hitler's panzers. There is no evidence that this occurred."[7]

It was moneyist, but pretty evil. There were some racist officials, but most of the evil in the Raj was "let's steal everything that isn't tied down"

No, no you didn't.

Ottomans fall apart anyway.
Everyone remembers that Islam is the enemy of Europe.
The world is a better place in 2012.

Europe falls to Islam due to French backstabbing.

I found it fascinating.

Imagine the arabic vibe, sailing the warm seas wild coastlines with tribals. Unknown beasts roaming in the shadows. Trade with exotic goods and adventure.

Basically Pirates Of Dark Water in real life.
