Oh, I'm so sorry I had to remind you that God is not the great granddaddy in the sky. I'm sorry I had to remind you of the God that sent a flood throughout the world and spared only Noah because he was righteous in a wicked and violent world. I'm sorry I had to remind you of God sending ten...

Unbelievers are RIGHT to be repulsed by us! We have done nothing but blasphemed God by living wicked lives with selfish and self-serving behaviors and attitudes disguised as a religious "piety." We ought to be ASHAMED!!!

It's time we finally accept this world as it is, Christians: Cruel, unfair, insufferable, hopeless, meaningless, depraved, immoral, evil, merciless, wicked, hateful, murderous, life-sucking, soul-stealing, a haven for reprobates, murderers, molesters, thieves, terrorists, sadists, and a bunch of...

I want to sleep but I just can't. I keep thinking of all the ways Christians tend to be even worse than unbelievers. Those thousands of kids, abused by over 300 priests… And all of it was covered up… I don't want these people to just repent. I want them to BEG and PLEAD to both God and their...

I'm not sure. They spoke French, and France is considered a Romance language, meaning it evolved from Roman Latin. And I forgot to mention, to William's credit, unlike his father, he was never known to have taken up any mistresses, which (unfortunately) tended to be common for European noblemen...

You've probably heard of him and the Battle of Hastings in 1066, considered one of if not the most important in England's history. In England, pretty much everyone and their grandmother knows about him. He was after all the first Norman king of England, and whose monarchy is currently the one on...

Watching something on William the Conqueror. He was certainly a larger than life figure.

I suppose. But still. Simply hugging someone releases chemicals that make you feel safe and secure. And if only my family weren't so paranoid about the internet, even though I've told them I'm not making friends the traditional way. I've had online safety beaten into my head from elementary...

A lot of specialists have been saying there's a loneliness epidemic and that loneliness rates have tripled. And given how much we use technology and places like Facebook and Twitter while at the same time living in a hyper-individualistic society, I'm not surprised. Technology can't replace...

There's nothing new under the sun.

Yeah, the Romans had good inventions and ideas but they were barbarians in their own right.

Either that or they simply wanted an excuse to raid and plunder. And they referred to non Romans as barbarians.

I meant to say, yes, that will be a movie.

Yes. Women have also made for some great rebels. When the Romans were taking over the British Isles, Queen Boudica of the Iceni, though ultimately unsuccessful, proved herself a force to be reckoned with. The story is that her husband, King Prasutagus, had made a trade agreement with the...

There's actually an adaptation called "Robin Hood 2058" in the works, which takes place in a future dystopian London.

I always thought of him as a rebel in the noblest of terms. Rebellion isn't always a bad thing. If anything, he was simply displaying his loyalty to King Richard. Prince John was only regent, so that didn't mean the actions of the noblemen and the Sheriff were endorsed by the king himself.

I seriously don't know. I'm not an expert in economics or politics or law. I find politics to be too toxic to even think about getting into. It was also interesting the way this movie portrayed Much the Miller's Son. He's one of the Merry Men in the ballads and is also part of the Merry Men in...

Which is what the merry men were for. And though the Sheriff and the noblemen technically acquired the money from taxes, they were in fact using it for anything but its original purpose, which, nowadays, is called fraud.

Good question. If you actually look into it and why he's rebelling, the real thieves are the Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John's noblemen. Prince John became regent while his brother, King Richard, was away on Crusade. And according to both this story and actual history, he was a bit of a...

Oh and by the way, the horse that Maid Marian rides in this movie is Trigger. This was before he was bought by Roy Rogers and was named Golden Cloud. Rogers renamed him Trigger.
