But that's exactly how they got their job, by shooting the last guy. It'd be remarkably short sighted to not expect it to happen to you.

i don't mind Latin script, it is incredibly close to runic script, but the idea that my own language was originally in Futhorc, a Runic script, makes me kind of long for it to be the more prevalent one.
it must be pretty comfy to have your language match your script.

Hey /his/ I've always wondered how the average peasant lived life in medieval europe. Is it as dirty and harsh as the movies proclaim? What did they eat and was it often rotten?

Interesting concept, they kind of ruin it by trying to turn it into a reality show, though.
Would be far better by just making it the same thing as the old Decisive Battles show that got cancelled.

It's nearly the same religion, I'd hardly call it a "conversion". The only difference is that you're going from a once-corrupt organization that used to be ruled by politics to an organization currently ruled by politics. The Russian Orthodoxy is just a propaganda tool. The religion itself is fine, like I said it's basically Catholicism, just don't buy into the Patriarch nonsense.

Post brutal and badass shit said in the Bible for example. Gib it all
" I will fill your mountains with the dead. Your hills, your valleys, and your streams will be filled with people slaughtered by the sword. I will make you desolate forever. Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am God."

What happened to Argentina? It used to be the 7th country by per capita income in 1908, in front of Canada, Denmark and the Netherlands. They had an educated population, a booming economy and a stable political system. It was set to be one of the richest countries in the world, but somehow they managed to fuck it all up.

I'm Orthodox Jewish: For starters, we don't really believe in prosletyzing anymore. And secondly (although I'll frely admit that this is only a sub-sect of Orthodox Judaism), I believe that revelation and divine command is fundamentally remedial, a way of enabling one to rise above the materialist impulses and becoming properly spiritual.
An alien is almost certain to have an enormously different psychology than a human, have to wrestle with different kinds of temptations. Just because something is appropriate for us, doesn't mean it would be appropriate for them: It almost certainly wouldn't.
As a corollary of that, I firmly believe that if there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, God has given revelation to them to, and that said revelation is different than what we got.
