Celtic Kings had this. Gold would be produced in cities, and food in villages. Food would have to be transported (you could set up automatic transports) to cities, units, fortresses, etc. to keep the people and units fed, or they would die. This made siegeing a castle town actually useful. You could also take your opponent's village and have it send food back to base, or supply your siegeing army. There was no global resource, either. If you had two t

There once was a thief hanging on a cross next to Jesus. And the thief asked Jesus to remember him... and Jesus said, "But you're not baptized... too bad..." So, in the end, your theology is directly contradicted by the Bible. That doesn't matter though, because a fallible human has said that what Jesus said was some sort of special exception and that salvation is through baptism and other religious rituals, which, if that were true, the Jews would have not be

No, it really doesn't exist. They just believe it exists, but when put to any sort of test it immediately gets put aside in favor of moral absolutes. For example, why do we have laws against killing people if some people feel it's okay to kill people? "Well, that hurts other people." "... so why is it wrong to hurt other people?" And we end up in a circular argument that contradicts itself... it comes down to, "I can do whatever I want, but you can&

"Receive ye the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain; they are retained." So you don't believe that you have the Holy Spirit?

Why would that surprise me? That's why good isn't specified by how I'm feeling, or how someone else feels about it. Yet there will always be that feeling, when wrong is done, that wrong is in fact being done.

That will take forever! Turn on half of them, then if it works, turn on half of the remaining... and if it doesn't, turn off half of the ones that you turned on to start with. Actually, just leave them all off forever. That'll be better for everyone.

Moral relativism doesn't actually exist. Everybody knows what is right inherently. It's built into us because there is a creator who bestowed it upon us. That's why, when people do what's right, they never need to defend their actions through moral relativism... everyone knows it's right. When someone does something wrong, they always need to justify it... because it was wrong. The fact that people, even moral relativists, still feel t

Reply to Vaccinations---Pros and Cons in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Vaccines make money for drug companies, so they will continue to be made, and continue to be mandated by the government, because the drug companies are paying them to do so. Nobody really knows what the long-term effects of the vaccines are, because that is the nature of short-term testing on long-term drugs. Vaccines that we thought would work for life wear off. Regardless of that, we now have this new HPV vaccine that they didn't bother to test, and they

The main problem that atheistic feminists haven't quite come to terms with is that, given no God to hold them accountable and tell them that females are worth the same as them, men simply don't have any reason not to treat them like property, slaves, etc. because the only thing that lifts up women in society is Christianity. Without that backing, women are treated so horribly. We're bigger and stronger so you just have to deal with it... after all, as you keep telling

Actually, those all come from the Bible. The letter God wrote. Remember God? Can you see him past the Pope's hat? God gave a mediator and the Catholics decided human priests would be a better fit. That praying to the mother of Jesus was something they should do. That God didn't quite get it all down and needed to be able to still speak outside of the Biblical record. I believe Catholicism jumped the shark and protestants got it back on tra

When the dating processes used by your 'scientists' dates 100 year-old rocks at millions to billions of years old, don't you think there might be a problem with those processes? And, if there's a problem with that process, how can we rely on data from those processes to date other things? And if we rely on that broken process to get to the billions of years you say there have been, how is that scientifically proven? All science has done is prove that the dati

Also, money runs the world, but your scientists and greatest minds are somehow not above the pull of money and/or making results fit into the preconceived mold they have created for themselves, and that they are paid to maintain?
