Not really(unless you use that "you are all gods, children of the Most High" verse).
All their power comes through and is authorised for use by God, through his divine grace(all prayers and akatists are basically"oh, Saint X, /insert cool stuff (s)he did in life/, pray for us")
And even if were, it's be more like a mutant form of henotheism than anything else.

yeah, but whats the practical difference?
Catholics pray to saints, just like pagans pray to their lesser gods

>>1551732
Do you know of any pagan being that draws all it's power from another pagan deity, while being a deity itself, and not being a nymph/nature spirit/whatever?

that's way too much shit for me to do so i'm just going to say that augustus was a manlet

>it's a history is defined by great men thread
Theodor Mommsen just called. He wants his thesis back.

>>1551865
Nope. Just curious about peoples' opinions on various emperors. I understand that belligerence on forums is tempting though.

they outsourced ruling those countries to immigrants.

WW1 and 2

>what went wrong?

are you actually asking this on a history board? why a former imperial power isnt an imperial power anymore?

Northerners speak english, south speak hipster english and brits speak gay english

I like to imagine that the Bostonian and New York accents haven't changed much. A midwestern farmer probably had a bit of a nordic accent considering almost all of them came from Scandinavia and Germany.

>>1550683
New York accents had to have changed with the immigration of the Jews and Italians. There's no way New Yorkers were pronouncing coffee as 'cawfee' in the 1860s.

>>1548129
But he was good. Its just that Italians are shit people

>>1548129

shitty country, back then italy was third world

He was praised by everybody, even his future enemies

Reasons to remain in the UK - legitimate as the majority of people want to remain in the UK
The claim of the South on the North - illegitimate until a referendum is carried out with the result being that the North wants to join the South
Reasons for any violence be it perpetrated by the republicans or the unionists - Illegitimate

Tbh the main problem is that local politics only has one issue, unionist or Republican, and we need to get over that and solve proper issues such as abortion being illegal, forced coalitions in Stormont, until recently there was no official opposition, lack of investment in education (improving but not there yet) etc.

We are essentially one big welfare case, taking english taxpayers money and giving parts of it to useless shit like "promoting the irish and Ulster-Scots languages" which ought to be left to individuals and not the state.

The troubles essentially put a stop to business investment in the north making us all poorer whether we are a prod or a catholic.

I'm a unionist myself but if the majority of people are willing to join the south then I'm willing to let that happen, but I am probably going to leave NI anyway.

>unionist or republican

I remember reading there is a lot of fear-voting going on, essentially putting some really shitty hyperconservative unionist party (don't recall the name) in charge just so that there won't be republicans in charge.

Northern Ireland Unionists-to me-seem weird. I can't understand their riots a few years ago over a flag not being flown on a building, or the whole thing about the 12th july "controversy."

To start, the RoI was never inevitable. Even after Cromwell's genocidepalooza, the failed 1798 Uprising, and the Great Famine; the majority of Native Irish strongly opposed the Easter Rising of 1916 as both rash and backstabbing (especially during wartime). The British government even lamented at the time that the Easter Rising was the only uprising where the majority of Irish people were on the side of the British government; only to lose that mass support by the UK's extended mass executions of Irish prisoners over the following months. The UK's decision to drag out the shootings of Irish POWs, instead of getting the bloody job finished in one day, caused a mass panic that eventually lost them Ireland.

Fast forward to 1921; despite the Irish rebels only having ~4,000 insurgents total at any one time during the war, the British government wants to throw in the towel. Whereas the Irish negotiators are at first elated, the sobering reality of what the peace negotiations will cost them eventually sets in. Both sides know that the only reason why the Irish were "wining" thus far is because the British were having to fight the insurgency with "one arm tied behind their backs". Both sides also know that three certain counties in Ulster (Derry, Antrim, and Down) have a Scottish-Protestant majority population which'll never join the Irish Free State under any circumstance. So as with all history involving Ireland and Britain, "the element of duress was always present".

If Ireland wanted peace and "Canada-status", they'd have to first accept the following conditions.
>Ireland would become a "client-state" of Britain for about 15 years before being granted independence
>The Northern Scottish counties would be allowed to "opt-out" of joining the Free State (which they'd obviously do immediately)
>Ireland would have to accept a huge debt to Britain to pay off the damages caused by the war
>Ireland would have to "keep the King's peace in the Free State"

Hell fucking no.

Most of the mesoamerican civilizations were absolutely terrible at warfare and barely even used tactics, strategies or equipment.

>>1546149
Absolutely not

Yes they had pre columbian contact with sub saharan africans so they was masters of warfare.

no, logically there is nothing after death.

>>>/x/

>>1555034
How do you come up with this "logic" and who had told you the logic of death?

>>1552837
Hey,
Hey,
Psst
Hey Rome.
Guess what?
>Cavalry
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>1552848
>Rome didn't have cavalry
Heh

>>1552848
I was under the impression that they had cavalry? I know that the legion foot soldier was their bread and butter... but they had cavalry, right?

the absolute madman

The Saxons kept pushing their luck over and over again. Not even by modern morality and ethics would anyone but the hugest faggot blame him.

everyone was ISIS-tier back then

Prayer is actually just self hypnosis, there is no one listening except your own conscious.

lol, she sure was dead at Lourdes.

And Fatima, and Akita, and Guadelupe....

That's not what either group believes

Jesus wasn't born from anal sex, Constantine.

Orthodoxy:
>It doesn't matter if you do good, God doesn't care
>Let your brethren die, what does it matter? Think of heaven!
>Subjugation? This is a worldly complaint.

The One True Roman Catholic Church:
>Do good and ye shall be saved
>Always take care of your neighbor as your brother; be as Christ was
>Fight injustice despite challenges to your fortitude; always be righteous in the face of evil

gee I wonder why Catholicism is a world-spanning faith while orthodoxy is relegated to backward Slav holes

>>1547905
Neither. If you think about death as what happens when you're in the dark or shut your eyes you're wrong. It's not-even-black, just pure nothing; no experience from then on.
How people think it works:
>you have an image, image.jpg, and every pixel is set to black when you die
How it actually works:
>image.jpg gets deleted when you die

>>1547905
when you die, credits and best scores roll out, and in some versions replay of best and worst moves wre shown
so git good and live well

>>1547913
How the hell do you know, have you ever been dead?

Scouse also uses the uvular r, something it picked up from Welsh.

>it's supposed to be the only accent of English to use the uvular R:
It's not. In southeastern Ireland people do it too. It's really annoying and waterford/wexford people sound like absolute spastics.

Wrong thread?
Also, the chart mirrors population density.
