Caucasian, probably. Lemnian language spoken on Lemnos might have been a true native language of the region though. It's thought to be related to Etruscan.

Thought it was just a story? what the fuck.
So does the morally righteous God create or conform to states of pure morality?
He is those things.
The reason there is good in the world is because all of those benevolent thoughts and actions are a reflection of God.
We were made in His image, so we share a little glimpse into what He is like.
As for sin and evil, that's what separation from God is like.
When we compare subjective morals between nations/states/people, we are infact comparing them to an objective moral standard, which is what we could call God's standard or absolute good/law.
C.S. Lewis goes more in detail about this in his book "Mere Christianity".

I've heard people call Carter underrated, but I just don't see it. Basically their arguments always boil down to "he wanted to be a force of good but somehow fucked it up." That doesn't make you underrated, that just makes you a failure.

Is it true that the Dark Ages left an irrecoverable hole in history? Will we ever manage to make up for all the undone progress and lost knowledge?
no.
"The Dark Ages" are largely a misnomer invented by Renaissance era intellectuals who romanticized the Roman Empire.

Yes, but the church wasn't to blame for much of it.
What happened in Britain after the Romans left? Were the romanised celts conquered by the saxon raiders?

Stop this meme.
I don't understand the question, why would they make em a saint then?
Saint Nietzsche? He wouldn't like that very much although we can say he would deserve it since he knew how a great intellectual attack can prolong the downfall of the target and even cause it's revival in favour.

What is the difference between a patriot and a nationalist?
the difference is that you dont send a CV ship capture a command zone without being properly escorted by aa corvettes and a LCU
>>562201
George Orwell.
> By ‘patriotism’ I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality.
>>562201
Sort of pulling it out of my ass, but patriot is proud of/likes their own country, while nationalist is more, pic related.
