From what I remember, the peasantry were starving from a lack of bread so she suggested to eat cake instead.

>>460370

makes sense

cake is more nutritious than bread

>>460384
Except that you only make cake if you can afford bread without a problem

I've often heard that changelings were an explaination for genetic defects like that.
For example, some depictions of elves and fairies look like people with Williams Syndrome.

Probably just had to be looked after by the townspeople like a large child

>>460352
is that where the "village idiot" archetype got started?

both

>>460213
Both denominations hold claim to the original Nicene church so it's hard to say.

As a Catholic I'd say both have valid claims. The cultural differences preexisted, Christianity was different in different parts of the Empire. The linguistic differences were already present, as well; Greek was more commonly spoken in the East and Latin in the West. The differences in doctrine likely reflect differing practices that were already present in both regions even before the Schism.

Easter.

The Evangelion is the resurrection of Christ from the dead.

>>460239
Easter for sherg. Without it Jesus is just a dude with a story about him. On Easter He becomes something much more after rising from the dead.

Religion is gay. Atheism is stupid. There is no answer because there is no question.

I haven't liked what I've heard. Generally feels like a walking self help manual which is bad imo.

>The human nervous system belongs to the mechanics of observations. Perception compliments great reality, and greatness itself explains species-specific timelessness. Our evolution is the continuity of total positivity, as matter self-interacts with the progressive expansion of sensations. From this, wwareness corresponds to exponential bliss - nature is inherent in the doorway to potentiality.

Holy shit mate, they need to go full kink.

not sure bro

Hahaha, sure you not.

I got "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" last year but couldn't make it through the whole book.

I realize now that William Bradford and his Puritan pals wouldn't even condone my celebrating Christmas.

>>459684
my dad used to be married to a descendant of governor bradford, she was a massive raging drunk

>was he a hero or did he ruin vietnam?

well history's written by the victors, so as the textbooks stand he's a hero. but in more neutral terms, he was a nationalist who wanted to oust foreign influence over vietnam by any means necessary, and Communism with a mix of nationalist fervor was his chosen method to do it.

You can't really measure what he did for North Vietnam to improve the lives of the people, seeing as he was at war from the day it was established until well after his death. if you want to say the lives of Vietnamese under him were shit, you'd be right because of the non-stop bombings.

so that question will be debated forever and is relative to your worldview. in the eyes of nationalists who see him as a man who removed Western domination over the country, he's a damn hero. To western powers who sought to keep foreign influence over the nation to enforce Containment, he's a rag-tag rebel leader who dragged his country into a 30 year long war that killed a good 1/6 of the population.

every day I thank God the franks held back the muslim hordes.

So basically like most other empires. Rise through large forces and luck (right people at the right place at the right time), then bogged down with corruption and over-extension.

Romans built roads on the ground, Greeks built roads in your mind.

>>459258
That's deep, bro. Real deep.

Large empires promote stagnation

Voltaire would shitpost here. Candide is basically one long shitpost about Leibniz.

>>458937
ben franklin would be too busy inventing shit and being brilliant to spend time on 4chan

People can't even figure out which celebrities in the current era use 4chan (except for rumbling T Swift), nevermind historical figures.

bush did 9/11

is it because steel beams can't be melted by jet fuel or is it because jet fuel can't melt steel beams

This is going to explode into thread arguing about qualia.

The chair is 'red' by virtue of being red.

No, hes right. People should work 24/7, spending time to reflect on your life and appreciate your existence is meaningless

>>458589
This. I could be earning money in that time, fuck worshipping some made up shit.

>>458583
Sleeping is an even bigger waste of time.

>Did the Coca-Cola company really invent the modern depiction of Santa?
I would be interested to see if this was true. The color coordination sure would make sense

>>458512

According to Coca-Cola themselves the colours aren't their doing but their advertising played a significant part in the creation of the jolly, fat Santa we see today.

>Is Christmas really a pagan festival rather than a Christian one?

How Christmas is celebrated is pagan, obviously Santa/Odin and shit isn't Christian

>>458310
Yes.

I just realized how much of a cynic I am.

>Being asked where in Greece he saw good men, he replied, "'Good men nowhere, but good boys at Sparta."
Yes, yes he was.
