It's 2016 and God realises that modern technology and science makes belief in the Bible hard. He talks to you and only you in your sleep. You are now given the absolute knowledge that Jesus was real and he really did perform miracles.
Now what do you do?

Have your daily Orthocuck thread.
Ask questions, discuss Eastern Orthodox Christianity, discuss related theology, philosophy and mysticism.
Welcome: Oriental Orthodox, FSSP/SSPX Catholics
Not welcome: PaganLARPers, Novus Ordo Cucks.

I'd start out with Frederica Matthewes-Green's Welcome to the Orthodox Church. It's not one of the traditional ones, but it by far helped me the most.

Would it be possible for Mexico to become the most powerful and influential power in NA during the XIX or it was always doomed to be surprassed by the US at some point?

No, the country was too spread out and the initial governments were too easily overthrown because the Spanish colonial system of giving massive tracts of land to people gave them power over everyone they had working on it, akin to feudal arrangements. So whenever one of these landed nobles got fed up with the government, they planned a rebellion/ coup. Peasants were upset about something so they were always up for a fight, but little would change.
It's tough to be a strong country when you have large scale revolts every few years. If they'd let some northern provinces go, and some southern provinces they would've been able to focus on potentially developing their centra territories. But the leaders thought like the Spanish colonial masters did, that farming and agriculture was the only way. They were fucked from the start. How many ex-Spanish colonies have been successful nations?

They called themselves roman sure but they didn't speak latin, didn't have an emporer and didn't worship the pagan gods. Hell even the architecture was different. So, roman or their own thing?

They were never Roman.
To be Roman you have to be from Rome. Venice was more Roman than the Byzantines ever were, because they were founded by actual refugees from the City of Rome.

They where better at fighting than at warfare. I would attribute much to their religious beliefs as dying in combat was the way to get to vallhall

Is this the appropriate board to talk about theater? None of the other boards seemed to fit the bill.
I'm an [spoiler]aspiring[/spoiler] actor who has worked for a couple years. Going back to school in the fall for my MFA. How fucked am I bros?

It's probably better to just move to New York and work for a theater company or move to LA and work in TV shows or movies if you want to be a professional actor. Studying drama at university is better if you want to be a professor.
>>
>>954643
I have interned at a theater company in NY, as well as moved to LA briefly where I was an extra for a few well known shows. The sheer number of people who want to be an actor is terrifying, so I figured that any leg up I could get would be beneficial. Plus, I can always teach if/when I don't "make it".

Hey, man. I love theater and go to acts. I'm from Spain but here there's no muchas tradición to see auditions.
