In other cases there can be shocks, where family history has is simply in error (at times shockingly so). Leslie St...

    So the Sierra club, and California, were founded by racists who got filthy rich on the backs of slaves. I'm just trying to figure out why the poor white Christian has been blamed for all the slavery/racism. If you trace the roots of it, there is absolutely no connection between Christians and slave ownership, in fact it is the Egyptian/occultists who seem to be most responsible for all things racist/slavery.

    Isaac Newton, John Lock and Christopher Wren did not believe in the trinity or hell and taught the Kingdom of God. Isaac Newton's prophecies are available and interesting. William Penn had very similar beliefs to these three and it was the foundation for the constitution he wrote for Pennsylvania which emphasized freedom of thought, speech and worship.

    This gives viewers no way to determine whether a piece is real or fake. We all know there are fakes out there, all he did was hold up fake pieces with no explanation as to what it is about them that would help us distinguish fake from real. Not helpful.

    Dear friend, genuine repentance and recitation of those words will protect you from calamities: "F a l u n D a f a is Good" and "Truth, Compassion, Forbearance is Good". F a l u n D a f a (or F a l u n G o n g) is a spiritual cultivation practice for mind and body that is widely spreading in the world, it is based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance It includes gentle exercises and meditation. It helped millions of people to regain health, peace of mind and obtain spiritual fulfillment. Since 1999 this peaceful practice has been brutally persecuted by the CCP (Chinese communist party) in Mainland China. More than 100 million people around the world practice Falun Gong.

    How about we concentrate on the inception of greek fire. I think people are giving the greeks way too much credit for this. Think about what the greeks had available at the time. Sure they had concrete, they had math, they had armor. Not much else. Now, there is a rumor that adding water to greek fire made it worse. What else makes fire worse when you add water to it. Grease. Could it be that someone tried to put a stove fire out after cooking some pork and the fire got worse. Maybe that gave them an idea. Now grease won't light on fire immediately, so they probably mixed it with something more flammable. That's where the chemistry part came in, but again, they were still an ancient society. Maybe they had natural gas or some flammable oil. All they had to do was mix grease with something that caught the grease on fire so the grease would burn to become holy hell. Here's my solution: 4 parts grease, 1 part flammable gas or oil. Put it into a barrel. One guy pumps the solution through a hose that spills out in front of another hose that shoots air pressure. The air pressure blows the solution into a flame and you just ignited cooking grease that is flying toward another boat. The ocean water makes the cooking grease worse. It sits on top of the ocean and continues to burn at the other ship.
