Fasting can induce hallucination.[1]

This also happened to be one Jesus', Muhammad's, Buddha's, and Moses' favorite activities, and significant relevations happened to them after fasting.

Coincidence?

What do religious people have to say about this?

Christians must by definition believe in both demons and Satan.

The new testament is FULL of references to demons: it was Jesus' power to cast out demons that was considered one of his most serious proofs of divinity. Jesus not only casts out demons in the NT, but talks with them.

Jesus is also tempted by the devil in the desert, who offers him power. This devil is called 'Satan' by name in Mark, and Jesus actually says that he witnessed Satan fall from heaven. Satan is also identified by other names, like Beelzebub.

Nope.

While the Germans had excellent small unit tactics with the introduction of the Sturmtruppen, I don't really know if I can say that any one army was the best for WWI. But one thing is for sure, it wasn't the Austro-Hungarians, Italians, or Russians.

Memes aside how competent were vikings at fighting? I mean vikings as in raiders not as a catch all term for all Norsemen. Also how often they were ambushed during their raids? I know they attacked defenceless monasteries and coastal towns like a bunch of niggers but were kings sending some troops to patrol the area later on? Seems weird they would just leave the places unprotected if they knew they are easy targets to raid.

You stake out the place and wait for a hole in patrols obviously.

You don't have to be a competent fighter if you're raiding. Presumably they were average armed men in that respect, considering professional armies were not the norm.
>>
Vikings were recognized to be good fighters. They were widely sought after as mercenaries. In the 11th century there were three countries outside Scandinavia recruiting Scandinavian troops, England, Russia, and the Byzantine Empire.

There's not much use in distinguishing between Norsemen and vikings. Raiding and seafaring was a huge part of Norse culture and most Norsemen would have went on a viking expedition at some point in their lives.
>>

During the raiding their combat strength was complete shit. Perhaps because of bad leadership, or perhaps it's true that vikings weren't soldiers at all.
However the viking countries (Norway and Denmark) proved time and time again that, if need, they could muster up an impressive and competent army.
The best example, in my opinion, is the danish conquest of England in 1013.

Obama's visit to Hiroshima and some reactions I've seen online makes me wonder why Amerifats think Pearl Harbor was one of the worst things that happened during WWII?

Sure, it was an underhanded, kind of dick move not to declare war before attacking but it was a military target at the end of the day.

Who the fuck thinks that? The 'Remember Pearl Harbor' thing isn't about "one of the worst thing of the war" happening. It's about getting attacked unprovoked and teaching some slants to eat crow.

>but it was a military target at the end of the day
So were Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Cry more weeb.

Some questions about Stalin the person.

When i read about Stalin the more positive information that i can get about him is that he at the very least is a huge prick to his friends, family and followers.

Did he have any hobbies or good friends who he liked to hang out with until his death?

Also a probably more loaded question:
Did Stalin belief that his governamental choices would be positive to USSR? Was he doing everything out of self-interest?
Like, if you told me that Mao did the Great Leap Forward with completely good intentions, i would believe you, but everything that i hear about Stalin, paints in my mind, a man who is doing everything for his own benefit.

How was living in the Papal States?
We hear a lot about church's influence on medieval Europe, but what happened directly under the pope's jurisdiction?

>How was living in the Papal States?
Depends. Certain areas lived the same as the rest of northern italian city states, the rest lived the same as the feudal south. Romagna and the Rome area were fairly prosperous through self government and centralized government respectively, but the rest were very rural and undeveloped. By the 19th century it was a very antiquated place from a cultural, administrative and economic point of view, but it wasn't exactly poor.
It was more oppressive than the more liberal monarchies and the italian republics, but it was no realm of obscurantism either.
>>
For the average joe it was much the same as everywhere else in mid/northern medieval Italy. It wasn't until around the 10th century when the papacy started to consolidate its territory

By lancing them.

Though I'm willing to bet it was much, much less frequent because their endocrine systems, diets and air quality weren't completly fucked beyond repair like ours.

A. Acceptance of Christianity.
B. Reliance on foreign mercenary armies
C. Unwieldy size. When Rome was just Romans, it was fiercely nationalist expansionist and virile. As its borders expanded Romans within the perimeter got soft and impotent.
