Opened Palace to the people during the fire.

At a total guess, a largely nonliterate population probably has a very compressed view of cultural time. 200 years ago is longer than anyone remembers, so those people whoight have been Norse pagans are largely forgotten about. They're not anything like decent people like yourself.

Came to Britain to fight Scots and Irish raiders for Roman coin

Stayed to as lords and Kings when the Romans left

West German tribes invaded England after the Romans left and took it over. Then, the Vikings tried to take over England and failed. Then, the Vikings took over northern France and succeeded. Then, the French Vikings took over England. Then Germany took over the Vikings and Northern France. Then the English took over Northern France and Germany. And then everyone lived happily ever after.

There once was a man named Aidan
Ancient wisdom with the Dane he did share.

He planted a kirk at Lindisdarne
And many fine books the monks there did craft.

So did the Inquisition really kill almost no one or are there just a lot of Catholic shills on this board?

>>1563643
Le ebil inquisition is a bigger misconception than the "dark ages" and "slaves built the pyramids"

Boudica. She got whipped by Roman soldiers and her daughters raped. Combined with how she ended she was a pretty successful female imo.

The Buddha himself, surely? Maybe Krishna and figures of ancient myth such as Orpheus, their myths suggest such a thing although we don't have the records to prove it.

I actually think Bodhidharma was from Gandhara. Therefore, he may have been mixed with Indian, Persian, and/or Greek.

Jean Calvin
Rick Roderick (not a Protestant evangelist/possibly not even Christian, but has a distinctly Protestant and biblically educated origin)

I generally only trust American, or early German and French protestant writers/speakers because of how much paranoia is involved in their idenitites, other christian writers tend to get into very abstract spiritual treatises while the good Protestant writers write their confessions of how it even possible to maintain a positive relation to humanity and God given the atrocities of the European wars of religion and the general American experience

Law is obligatory because the policemen will catch you if you don't obey.

There are different fundamentals to law.

Justice by michael sandel is a pretty good starter pack.

>>1560317
Are you familiar with Miguel Reale's works? He's the only one so far who's been able to tell clearly what law really is. You might want to check it out.

>What is Gnosticism /his/ and why did it die out despite it being prevalent in both Europe and the Middle East?

GNOSTICISM IS AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANITY; IT IS THE DOCTRINE THAT MOST APPROXIMATES THE ACTUAL IDEAS, AND TEACHINGS, OF JESUS CHRIST; IT BECAME EXTINGUISHED DUE TO SYSTEMATIC PERSECUTION AND CENSORSHIP BY THE ORTHODOX CATHOLIC CHURCH.

>What would our world look like today if Gnosticism did not die out?

THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ESTIMATE WITH ANY DEGREE OF RELEVANT ACCURACY.

>What is your favorite Gnostic faith?

I DO NOT COMPREHEND THE QUESTION.

>What are some introductory books to Gnosticism?

JUST READ THE TEXTS THEMSELVES:

THE "ASKEW CODEX", THE "BRUCE CODEX", THE BERLIN CODEX", AND THE NAG HAMMADI TEXTS.

>What are the core values of Gnosticism?

LOVE, FAITH, WISDOM.
