Let's discuss the Forty-First President of the United States.
Pilot
Statesman
Oligarch
Leader
"Trusted" One
Where do you place him? Where does he fit in post-Reagan American politics?
What led him to that point? Where did he ascend into the National sphere, and why?
Is he silver-spoon American who lucked out on the outcome of WWII, or did he actually make his own way?

Have you read it, /his/?
Have you read any of Francis' writings?
I rather liked this one, personally. It's very medieval, I might even call it a neomedieval work.
>>1660470
We don't support made up nonsense cults that worship invisible wizards.
>>1660470
>It's very medieval, I might even call it a neomedieval work.
What makes it especially medieval?
>>1660554
It's advocacy of inquisition tactics and calls for a new crusade.
The ancient Egyptians, are more simple and stupid than every people that is on the earth, have themselves incorrect than all.
At least, the gods (or religion) of the primeval Europeans did not service well for them, but they introduced some that of the nature of the animals, and said thereof that they were sacred, and likewise of creeping things which are found on the dry land and in the waters. And of plants they said that some of them were gods.
And Egyptians were kinda corrupted by delusion and defilement more than every people that is on the earth. For from ancient times they worshiped Isis, and they say that she is a goddess whose husband was Osiris her brother. And when Osiris was killed by Typhon his brother, Isis fled with Horos her son to Byblus in Syria, and was there for a certain time till her son was grown. And he contended with Typhon his uncle, and killed him. And then Isis returned and went about with Horos her son and sought for the dead body of Osiris her lord, bitterly lamenting his death.
If then Isis be a goddess, and could not help Osiris her brother and master, how can she help anyone else? It's impossible that a divine nature should be afraid, and flee for safety, or should weep and wail; or else it's very miserable.

Leave /his/ and don't return until you have a firm grip on the English language and can form coherent thoughts
>>1660459
90% of ancient Egyptian religion was made to not make sense and conflicting.
Human beings not being able to grasp the true form made it more holy, and the more it conflicts with other stories, the truer it was.

Ancient Egyptians were more stupid than the rest of the nations, these and such like gods did not suffice for them.
but they even apply the name of gods to animals in which there is no soul at all. For some of them worship the sheep and others the calf; and some the pig and others the shad fish; and some the crocodile and the hawk and the fish and the ibis and the vulture and the eagle and the raven. Some of them worship the cat, and others the turbotfish, some the dog, some the adder, and some the asp, and others the lion; and others the garlic and onions and thorns, and others the tiger and other such things. And the poor creatures do not see that all these things are nothing, although they daily witness their gods being eaten and consumed by men and also by their fellows; while some of them are cremated, and some die and decay and become dust, without their observing that they perish in many ways.
the Egyptians have not observed that such things which are not equal to their own deliverance, are not gods. And if, well, they were weak in the case of their own deliverance, when they have power to help in the case of deliverance of their worshipers? Greater is the error into which the Egyptians wandered—greater, indeed, than that of any people which is upon the face of the earth.
If the water fountains were the same, would there be a problem?
>>1660431
no because there would still exist the potential of differences, which freaks people out.
>>1660431
Yes.
The PoC one should be larger and better equipped to compensate for institutionalized racism.
>>1660431
The fact that they put them so close to each other they were practically asking for a problem.
I have a question - were there any symbols associated with bastardry that a legitimized noble bastard was required or frequently did take as part of his personal coat of arms?
>>1660427
Arms don't work like that.
>>1660427
/his/ isn't hte place to ask questions for your dnd campaign. delete this thread
>>1660427
No. Bastards generally don't have arms, and if they do, they don't draw attention to their bastardry.
Hey guys, I'm trying to come up with a unified theory of religion. Regardless of your personal beliefs, please treat this as an academic though experiment in the creation of an engaging fiction, I will not be preaching this as fact.
As in any religion, there first must be God. God has three parts, which might be likened to the Father, the Son, and the Spirit of Christianity. There is the part which is God and god, which is God and Man, and which is God and existence. The names for God and god, the Father, might be YHWH or Allah. The names of the Word might be Christ or Buddha. The Spirit could be named Brahman or Olodumare. The name for the three parts in totality may not be uttered by mortal tongue, but has the meaning of "I am".
Every mortal is a part of the Spirit, which is all that exists. If you lay a blanket on the ground flat and then take up a bit of it into your hand forming a pocket, the pocket is the soul, or Atman, and the blanket is the Spirit. It is possible to become so enlightened that upon death, the pocket is smoothed out, as all of the wrinkles of life are removed. It is also possible to become so divine that, while living, you become one with the Word, as did Jesus of Nazareth and Siddharta Guatama, though this is far more difficult. It is not possible to be one with the Father.
The creation of souls is caused by disruption, as is all disorder. This disruption is caused by Satan, who is a Demiurge created by the Father. This is the youngest Demiurge, but the eldest is Lucifer, who answered the call at the beginning of "Let there be light" and creates non-living firmament. Creating disorder and existence is his sole job of the demiurges, though they may do it in many ways. All of the Demiurges, although they were created by the Father, are in opposition to the Spirit, for the Father is concerned with creation and the Spirit with cessation. Both may be desirable to man, but in the time of living, it is the Word which is most important. The Word is what governs the chaos of life with a tolerable semblance of order, and it is the Word from which comes the concept of Good. Thus, the Word is also the Law.
I have spoken already of the foundational being of the world, with three facets and seven names but only one being, and of the Demiurges. Next, then, the created.
First, the tribes of Subjects. These are the Angels, the Fae, and the Demons, who are created by Lucifer, Gaia, and Satan, respectively. Their lives rarely intersect with those of mankind, as they live primarily inside of their creators. The Jinn of Atar behave somewhat differently, and others are rarely seen.
Besides these, there are the lesser gods, who are by nature finite. These are the gods that procreate and stem from single heads, such as Odin, Thor, and Osiris. Their seed is the origin of human ethnicity, and without their influence, all of humanity would be identical, except for gender which was created by Luna, another demiurge.
Below the gods are men who achieved greatness, including great Heroes such as Gilgamesh and Sundiata, demigods like Herakles or Madurai Veeran, and Saints.
Below them are the living things, with which you are familiar. These include humans, plants, and animals.
Below the living things are the unliving things.
In general the magnitude of an individual's soul is greatest gods, then for the living, and then the unliving, but there is a great difference which comes from wisdom (and wisdom comes with age as well as prayer/meditation). The greatest souls are those of huge and ancient trees, which spend all of their time in meditation and prayer. After these are wise men and lesser trees, and after them are humans, cattle, and spiders, and below them are the other animals and traitors. However, these categories are also not absolute and there is variation within them.
Well, that's what I've got so far. Is there anything major that I failed to account for?
How promiscuous were women in the 50s? Were they sexually devious as they are now? Please go into details and post some qt 50s chick.
Not as much so as they were in the 20s. As far as I know they were all housewives in the 50s.
Here's a 50s woman like you asked

France isn't the greatest civilization in Europe

Can somebody explain to this godless heathen why Arianism is wrong? It seems to make a great deal more sense than traditional Christology.
because jesus was god
>>1660290
Arianism doesn't say otherwise, just that Jesus is lesser and created by God the Father
>>1660290
"was"? Sounds pretty heretical.
What if Simon Bolivar had suceeded in unifying South America?

We wouldn't be having petty squabbles and football rivalry to this date.

It would have Balkanized just like the gran Columbia did.

Most Latin American countries can barely even self govern, let alone be part of a unified empire.
Why the hell did the Cicero and Rome turn on Antony? After Caesar's assassination, Antony actually had legal power as a consul, and tried to appease both sides. He pardoned the conspirators to win over the Senate, and officially abolished the dictator. Octavian only had his new name of Caesar, and essentially illegally obtained an army which he then marched on Rome. Cicero's speeches did a lot to turn public opinion against Antony, but why did he see Antony as a greater evil than Octavian. Cicero was no friend of Julius Caesar, and seeing his heir amassing an illegal army should have been a greater threat to the republic than Antony, right?
Antony was related to the (slain)Cataline Conspirators
>>1660104
Octavian was like 17 and "could be controlled". Anthony had a large army and was Caesar's deputy, involved in some (much?) of the planning of Caesar's dictatorship, and was hand-picked by Caesar to be the consul. Thought was, use Octavian's army to crush Anthony, and turn Octavian into a normal senator. Elections become "free" again, and the Republic survives.
>>1660104
He probably underestimated Octavian given his age.
Antony was a cousin of Caesar, an experienced commander that held the loyalty of caesar's legions, and had political experience even if he wasn't all that good.
We are blessed with glorious hindsight but there is very little to indicate at the time that octavian would be the greater threat. He had Caesar's name. That's about it.
Can't really blame Cicero for not knowing he was a fucking politicwl genius.
Why don't we know anything about the Jutes?
>>1660047
They were absorbed by the Saxons pretty quickly.
Extremely small population from jutland that moved to kent. Set up shops sandwiched right between the angles and saxons. Being so small in number they never had a mjor cultural influence in the hegemony and just got absorbed by (primarily) the Saxons
They were Germans who lived on the Jutland peninsula in what is now Denmark. There, you know about the Jutes now.
Is there any action you can take that is not a product of your utmost desire at that specific point in time with the information you have available to you?
Can you ever take an action that you don't want or you don't want as much?
>>1659981
Yes, compromise is a thing.
>>1659988
?????
>>1659981
Yes. It sounds like what you refer to is psychological egoism, an idea which has been panned by most philosophers except Hobbes.
If you have stone-set morals, what are they?
Mine are,
>Do not harm without consent unless provided good cause.
>If possible, try to help others to you're own ability.
>Always questions ones own beliefs. Accept the fact that you may be wrong.
>max_stirner.jpg
>>1659797
>lel spook mem
so you do whatever you want as long as it benefits you?
You know that's a moral guideline right?
Your spook is a spook
>don't be too much of a cunt
>do not do things you cant get away with
Pretty much all i have
