/tg/ is actually very well versed on Persian history.

I wouldn't bring it up, to be honest. Historical realism is nice and all, but player experience should be the priority. Unless it's a plot point, I'd feel a bit uncomfortable with the GM bringing up my character's gender just for kicks.

This doesn't need to apply to NPCs, btw. Feel free to have different standards for PCs and NPCs, that could actually make for interesting situations.

t. Player who always plays female characters

Are arrogance and insecurity always on the same chain? Are peoples' pompousness always hiding insecurities? Are peoples' insecurity always indicative of their un-appreciated self importance?

>>1460846
>blabla every emotion has been felt by you
On what grounds do you think you know that? Also, what emtotions are there? Is it a gradient of well being? A fixed set?

> Are arrogance and insecurity always on the same chain?

You are asking if arrogance and insecurity go hand and hand, that one cannot be arrogant without being insecure. If one is arrogant, then you would call that misdirected self insurance. Somebody who is arrogant is afraid to face the fact that they might not be what they really are, mediocre. So they hide behind their arrogant self to hide away their true self.

> Are peoples' pompousness always hiding insecurities?

The insecurity of being wrong. Of being what one is not. We all have images of ourselves we aspire to attain, those who are arrogant are afraid not to be as they think.

> Are peoples' insecurity always indicative of their un-appreciated self importance?

One can be arrogant but still feel they have some importance. I may be insecure in my looks but I'm not insecure in my job for example. Arrogance does not have to be ones entire life. It can be parts of their life. But then what do those arrogant parts tell you about them?

My vote is for Spinoza

Kanye West.

Aristotle and Plato will never be obsolete.

There were some theological differences that developed between the West and East over time (not that the Copts, who split long before the great schism, are still on the same page as the Eastern Orthodox theologically, so these developing differences came mostly from the West's theology changing over time). But these differences were at the time relatively minor, and could have been resolved. Really the only serious issue was that Pope Leo IX started pushing the Donation of Constantine in letters to the East in order to justify Papal Supremacy (which is far different from primacy, primacy is not an actual office).

>>1461090
Lets be frank, while Orthodox and Copts have solved most of there differences now, a thousand years ago, they most certainly saw their theology as being incompatible.

Its pretty clear that the papacy and its allies as least from late antiquity considered itself to have supremacy, you can see it from the church councils. its also clear that the east generally rejected this.

>>1461137
*sigh*

If you want to understand theology from a thousand years ago, I recommend "Christ in Eastern Christian Thought". It literally ALWAYS was semantics and it was pointed out as such, the only reason it became an issue of contention is because there were many theologians imposing a crypto-Nestorian reading on Chalcedon. It wasn't so much that Copts disagreed with the formula as it is intended by the Eastern Orthodox, it is that they saw it as a back door for Nestorianism (which did happen with several theologians). Likewise, the Eastern Orthodox never had an issue with the intent of the Coptic formula, they're only concern was that it could be used as a backdoor for Apollinarism (which it was by several theologians).

Literally all Orthodox and Copts have done is agree to what was already in the Fifth Ecumenical Council, which gives qualified approval for both formulas; two natures is approved so long as it is intended as purely a conception division, and one nature is approved so long as "nature" is intended as an extension or synonym of hypostasis

The idea that the Pope had universal jurisdiction over the whole Church was certainly not a large idea in antiquity.

poopan actually has an era of warfare named after him.

Napoleon was a liberal dictator, yet he was a realist, he understood some of the ideas of the revolution were simply idealistic.

Historically there was no restrictions on what weapon you could bring to a japanese duel.

Bokuden beat a naginata wielder with a nodachi by cutting through the shaft of the weapon. Muso Genosuke allegedly took on Musashi with a short staff, and won.

Tough to say. Without World War 2, would Radar, Rocket technology, and Nuclear fission have been created? The thing about war is it to the test human ingenuity, and is one of the greatest incentives for innovation. The technological advances created in a fury of R&D during wartime find incredible civilian applications once we've stopped using them to kill.

No.
Wars create scientific progress as government is willing to spend more.
US would have never gone to moon without the German scientists from WW2.
Ultimately every single piece of advanced technology we use on a regular basis was a result of WW2, which was a result of WW1.
Computers, phones, games, all resulted from progress made during WW2.
Without those wars we would not have made so much progress.

Compare to some of these.

It's also a fact that the earliest known use of runic magic in Iceland only dates to the 17th century from grimoires like the Galdrabók, while Abrahamic use of gematria in symbolic chambers has centuries of aggregate mysticism to support it, like the Sephir Raziel, Picatrix, Sworn Book of Honorius, Clavicule, etc.

I think it's more important to compare meanings of symbols becuase I'm sure there have been hundreds of cultures that used simple shapes like those to represent abstracts

If you spend even one instant indulging in religious bullshit then you are definitely an idiot.

This a board for adults, little one. You have some growing up to do.

I remember reading somewhere PTSD has to do with the almost of time you spend in battle. This is also why PTSD was so bad in Vietnam, the mobility of helicopters meant that soldiers were in almost constant combat.

Before WW1 soldiers spent most of their time marching or sitting around before a decisive battle.

Ottomans

>>1460305
Macedonians were considered barbarian subhumans by ancient Greeks. They are not slavs who live in skopje but they were not greeks either

Modern Ottoman Rape babies think they know better than Demosthenes

>>1460888
The Macedonian people were certainly not seen as Greeks but their royal family was.

haha epic bait dude

No.

Read The King James Bible

for the gospels, read:

Matthew
Mark
Luke
John

all in the New Testament

>>1460308
Why should I read the Bible in English? I'm not that fucktarded.

>I'm not that fucktarded.

You probably are if you thought the gospels were in the old testament.

and that's ignoring the major sign of fucktardery
