If one man has several wives, that would leave another several men with no wives, they will either radicalise and commit terror attacks or check out from wagecuck jobs and not contribute anything to society.

Everyone is so willing to say "Catholics believe this, so it is Christian" when no one looks outside of commonly accepted ideas of Catholicism.

Christ tells us not to call anyone "father" beside the Father in Heaven, yet every priest is titled father.

>the universe exists without cause, there is no first mover required
You know, this one really puzzles me. We don't know much about the singularity, but it can be assumed it was stable for a period of time before it blew out and the Universe came to be. However, if it existed since forever, what triggered the Big Bang at a specific time? I'm not saying an eternal god did, because that's just jumping to conclusions, I mean, I might as well assert it was an eternal and immaterial non-sentient force; we just don't know.
Maybe the Big Crunch-Big Bang cycle hypothesis is correct and time is like a wheel? Maybe energy and matter randomly jump into existence?
What's frightening is that these questions are way, way bigger than us. Maybe these concepts are just out of our comprehension. Maybe we'll never know the answers.
God, of course, is an easy way out, and I can understand how people find comfort in the idea of an eternal, perfect being.

As a side note, if a "first mover" exists, chances are it has nothing to do with the gods of religions that humans made up.

Why is this board shilling against mounted longbowmen?


For some reason, a large group of /his/torians have an agenda to cover the fact that English longbowmen on horseback did NOT fire from horseback. This raises many questions.

Especially because I'm pretty sure I can fire on horseback with my longbow and fire a longbow on horseback in vidya games.

Why then, would these shills shill against the concept that mounted English longbowmen couldn't fire from horseback?

I've been given numerous accounts on why they couldn't, none so far even accurately answer the question, as if they're evading it by answering it "casually".

Surely there must be true /his/torians that would agree with me on this?

I suppose it could be done.

But they just didn't do it.

That's probably what /his/ is saying.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_longbow#Battle_formations

>In summary, however, the usual English deployment in the 14th and 15th centuries was as follows:

>Infantry (usually dismounted knights and armoured soldiers employed by the nobles and often armed with pole weapons such as pollaxes and bills) in the centre.

>Longbowmen were usually deployed primarily on the flanks, sometimes to the front.

>Cavalry was rarely used but, where deployed, either on the flanks (to make or protect against flank attacks), or in the centre in reserve, to be deployed as needed (for example, to counter any breakthroughs).

Sure you can shoot a longbow from horseback.

But why the fuck would you need to when deployed in an army like this:

>>1689571

You don't need to shoot your longbow from horseback. It would be fucking stupid.

It would be a lot smarter to be on foot and take better aim, protected by your comrades in close formation.

Would a Germany united under Habsburg Austria have been better or worse in European History, while in our history the Prussians lead a Kleindeutchland or Small Germany excluding Austria, though what if the German States had chosen Austria to lead them would it be like the HRE all over again?

>>1689443
There are many variable that would need for this to happen. Depending on how its formed would be a huge deal. A war would unite them, but that would put them at the risk of the same animosities resulting from the wars of 1883 and 1871. A slow integration is not really possible (as seen in the EU, and this has nations with much less nationalism in it than the nations in the German lands)

Yet I somewhat doubt, that it would not have lead to an ease in European politics. Imagine Großdeutschland with Prussia and Austria in one country:
1. It would be a constant, balanced fight between catholic and protestant
2. Basically all other nations would start to worry as a united Großdeutschland would be the most powerful country on the continent (only talking countries not alliances). Russia would see their panslavic plans in danger, Britain its equilibrium of power and France would be worried about a mighty nation at its side, which is linked to historical animosity.
3. The slavic nations in the KuK would be in fear as Germans would hold a massiv majority, making Germanization in those lands even more aggressive.
=> The KuK was weak as is, it would have to downsize great to cope with both its empire and the German lands

Possible upsides would be:
1. The Großdeutsches Reich would no longer really be interested in colonies abroad as they have their own "colonies" on the European continent (Croatia, Czechs, Hungarians, Romanians etc.) easing tensions with Britain.
2. if no war occurs, the stereotype of the "militarian" German would not really hold value as Vienna had quite a non aggressive stance at least on France and Britain (Russia yes)

What also could occure would be:
Due to their historical rivalry, Vienna would systematically downsize Prussia leading to more power to Austria, the effects would be unkown.
>>
>>1689463
Most definitly, I kinda thought that it would be a powerful German Entity but it would possibly be very decentralized, since centralization was a must in the Prussian leadership to the point that they denied the crown from the Frankfurt parliament and instead opted for military action, Austria would possibly be more diplomatic as they have historically always been.

>(as seen in the EU, and this has nations with much less nationalism in it than the nations in the German lands)
Are you retarded? Not only the EU is actually enduring and not failing in spite of unbelievable mismanagement, it's also full of people with actual national identities, rather than just regional loyalties. Are you telling me that a frenchman and a german feel closer to each other than a hessian and an austrian?
