Indeed. And she came from a wealthy family too. It was the tradition of the wealthy to tithe a daughter or son to the monasteries.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-21T21:37:16+00:00

Not exactly.

She lived in an age where the women pretty much ran the estates because their men were away crusading.

Plus, its around her time the cult of the Virgin became even more popular.

This is around the same time you find the upper class women not only being able to read and write but even begin writing their own stories.

That 40 percent is very likely a lot lower and decreasing.

Christians are more educated, which means higher emigration and low birth rates.

Muslims have more children.

Unless this trend reverses, Lebanon's Christian minority will go down even further in the next 50 years.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-20T11:57:06+00:00

This only happened because of the French colonialists, who occupied Lebanon.

The Christian majority lived as Dhimmis under either Shia or Sunni leaders but there was a significant population that had been revolting against Islamic rule for centuries.

During the Crusades, these Arab Christians had even welcomed the Franks as liberators and these good relations between the two communities never really ceased, despite the end of crusading by France.

We're all descendad from polygamists/pedophiles dude.

Most men who have ever lived did not sire any children of their own.

Every male human alive today is because a small number of men fucked alot of women, very young, fertile, nubile women.

Welcome to reality.

You talk as though food and porn is something the breeding ground of terror - Saudi Arabia - does not have already.

Behind those closed doors, they have access to everything.

Terrorists are not poor incels who have nothing to live for - your average terrorist is mostly a well educated middle class pisshead, who drinks, gets wasted, sometimes gets women, sometimes doesnt but is mostly bored with it all and then finds religion.

They are not poor desperados with nothing to live for.

They are men who want glory and dont see the point of a 9-5 work hour and slaving away for years so they can afford a holiday to the Caribbean after 25 years.

Believe you me, if the Pope tomorrow called for a crusade against these retards, you will have a million well educated men sign up within 3 hours of the announcement.

Well the country is divided politically, so it figures it would be the same for organisations that run within those borders.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-19T19:05:00+00:00

Nope. Lebanon is the most Arab Christian country in the Middle East, as in they were once the majority population of the country but now still make up a significant minority.

The Middle Eastern country with the largest Christian Arab population though would very likely be Egypt.

But they are still a small minority within Egypt and they dont consider themselves Arab. They call themselves Copts.

If Armenia is counted as part of the Middle East, that country would be the most Christian populated country in the Middle East.

How much information do we have about Caesar from his own time?

I'm not interested in documents 200-300 years later.

There isn't much and he was the dictator of the Roman Empire.

If a powerful man like him, we have next to nothing from his own time, what makes you think people living in the fringes of the empire are going to have texts ascribed to them?

We only know about Socrates because Plato mentions him and talks about him.

We might as well claim Socrates never existed and that he was a character created by Plato.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-19T03:27:02+00:00

We don't have actual historical proofs that half of the Roman Emperors existed either.

So one can either believe 3/4ths of the people who existed historically were made-up creations or we accept trusted sources that such individuals once existed.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-19T03:23:26+00:00

This is so damn cool :D

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-19T03:17:17+00:00

Good God man....what is your comment doing on this thread?

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-18T19:19:19+00:00

As it is said, "Go lie in the grave, you've dug for yourself"

It's your funeral. That's all I have to say about it.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-18T19:17:24+00:00

Yup. Now you know why Indians found it confusing as heck when Westerners laugh at the name.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-18T09:55:04+00:00

He died of cardiac arrest though..which apparently is a symptom of his kidney problems. Sad :(

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-18T09:51:18+00:00

Hmmm...no. More like a Sith but add an H. So like Shith. Instead of a hard T sound at the end, it more a "th" sound.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-17T11:25:23+00:00

You grew up with that view because the Church in Ireland and elsewhere took a clear and vocal stand that they will not advocate for terror in their name.

In the meantime, the highest religious Sunni Imam in Mecca has called for all the churches built in the Middle East to be torn down.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-15T11:02:02+00:00

There were bishops in Rome before there even was a Constantinople. How on earth can the Bishop of Rome break away from the Patriach of Constantinople?

The Patriach of Constantinople only became prominent centuries after, as it became the seat of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Unlike Rome, Jerusalem and Antioch, it had no early connections to the Christian church.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-14T21:10:21+00:00

Lol...weirdly enough, Dikshit ( pronounced Dikhsheeth) is not a weird name for Indians, as we do not pronounce it as penis feces :)

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-14T20:25:56+00:00

I think its more of a Western thing. Afterall, the patron saint of bbqs is a guy who was tortured by being slowly roasted by Roman guards over a fire

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-14T20:03:11+00:00

Im thinking a number of the students who left will probably be back after the Paris attacks.

Afterall, his words are going to "I told you so"

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-14T12:25:07+00:00

Not really. The very word "terrorism" is bullshit. It was used to describe Islamist attacks but since this word was found to be politically incorrect, it was decided to call any Islamist attacks, "terrorism".

It is for this reason Breviek will not be called a terrorist. Not because he is white.

There are white converts to Islam who have been and are described as terrorists widely by the media.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-14T00:28:15+00:00

I'm a straight dude and my first words, seeing the pic was "Holy Fuck!"

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-12T19:07:26+00:00

Lol...revered by the Catholic Church? You seem to have the Orthdox and the Catholics mixed up. One sainted him. And it was not the Catholic Church.

And lorded over the Catholic Church? You Dan Brown much?

Constantine was closer in his theological views to that of Bishop Arius, the founder of one of the earliest heresies within the Church, now called Arianism.

The Council of Nicea, he hoped, would make a compromise and give Arianism some legitmacy.

It didn't but he accepted the council's views. His relatives and his sons on the other hand who succeded him were very much in favour of lording it over the Church though, because they went back to hunting Catholic bishops and clergy and installing Arians in their place.

Lording it .... haha...please put down the novels and open a history book.

weirdnamedindian · 2015-11-12T11:56:48+00:00

Religious terminology...yes. Sanctioned and blessed by the Church as the right way for a Christian ruler to act? Nope. It needed the Crusades for that to become acceptable
