    What did Louis do that wasn't in his interest as king? Was it his Crusade that was a disaster and cost the life of so many people and attacked an ally of Jerusalem?

Perfect examples, really. (if you haven't noticed I'm being sarcastic)
    Ah yes, the Hollywood revisionist histories are the best

        There are 2 possibilities and there is no way you can get around this:

        1. Since we wrote the Bible and we can make mistakes, then the Bible is flawed.
        2. We wrote it down perfectly with 0 mistakes in which case it is the same as God having written the Bible.
        (note that most Christians really really really love to insist on #2 )
        this post = teh win.

          For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
          to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

              Truthfully, I haven't even read 95% of the Bible but I can say this. A lot of the quotes on the internet which claim to be from the bible are either a) not found in the bible or b) from the old testament (prior to Christ)

              Now, one can say that there is human error involved in describing the events during those times in history but a lot of the scripture has similar passages with regards to life written by different authors. By all means this doesn't make all of the accounts accurate but since a lot of people find that scripture relates to things in their own lives, that means that events during a different time in history can still be applied today.

              I'm not sure what number 2 really applies. Perhaps the authors were just bad secretaries and weren't very good at dictation or story telling? It's really irrelevant either way since people have found value in the book and have been able to relate it to their daily lives. We may live in a much different time period now but perhaps the more things change, the more some things stay the same.

                  Yes, Joan must have been crazy, I mean only crazy people with no military training can lead several thousand men to victory. Now I am being sarcastic.

                    Karo jan, where do you get your "facts" from?

                    i read in another thread that according to a forum member, "The first time NATO was used was after 9/11". And please take notice that this person was very assertive in claiming so.



                    it seems this member doesn't even know his facts on contemporary history.


                    would you trust him on french medieval times?

                    what do you think of a general who would engage his troops on the battlefield without prior reconnaissance of the terrain and knowledge of the opponent's strengths?
