Dark Ages 9of10 - History Channel

The once-powerful Rome--rotten to the core by the fifth century--lay open to barbarian warriors who came in wave after wave of invasion, slaughtering, stealing, and ultimately, settling. As chaos replaced culture, Europe was beset by famine, plague, persecutions, and a state of war that was so persistent it was only rarely interrupted by peace.

All governments are the same at the core.

@lockateard17 My dear fellow one should not throw insults relating to brain power when your sentence construction and grammar, look as if it’s been written by a child. Doubly so when you are advocating for your imaginary friends. So if you don’t believe in the bible, how do you know what Jesus said or thought as you claimed in your previous post? Does he tell you himself lol. PS you were wrong about my acceptance of the bible, I don’t believe in any god

The Crusades were an inside job of the knights, so they could slaughter muslims. I knew it all along.

(Modern English)

English troops, Comrades, folk of this English land shield wall! and sword wall thou shalt stand for your English land!

From Hengest & Horsa the brothers who invaded Britain & Founded England to Alfred the Great & his son Athelstan the Great who defended it - fur das treu, fur das land - for this honor!

For this land who made us great

@BlackBoxofPandora And yet, it's the basis of cultures which have had the highest quality of life, and of freedom in human history.

The comments on Christianity here seem to show only the most superficial understanding of it.

The video did a much better job of pointing out the practical, political situations that were the key causes of the Crusades.

whenever... religion is mixed with...politics great fuck ups have happened..and when ever religion is mixed with science...there have always been happy human beings

@mrodub Yeah it's funny isn't it? Christians are so quick to point out that Jesus was a saint. A saint huh? This is the same guy that preached you should leave all of your belongings, your family, and your land to worship him. The same guy that preached, if you didn't love him more than your own family, you were damned to eternal damnation. In my opinion, The Bible is one of the nastiest books in human history.
