Kerwin, when an empire comes to an end, it leaves behind countries. Nothing strange about that.

Many do not realise that this empire was the one that conquered the Roman Empire and it lasted for 500 or so years.

This was the empire at its height. Nothing to sneeze at.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, in particular at the height of its…[Read more]

Yes. But a series of yes no questions will disable the devil in the details.

Although he might say, ‘yes but’. In your opinion, is that a no?

My first question. You must start the answer with Yes, No, or I don’t know.

An explanation can follow your answer so we can understand your reasoning.

And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it…[Read more]

Your not paying attention. I am not saying ISIS is the Beast. Rather that the clim…[Read more]
