  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

They did not, in fact, descend from the Roman emperors though. It is made up in order to lay claim to something. Just like how the Vardar region in former Yugoslavia renamed themselves Macedonia in order to lay geographical claim to the Empire of Alexander the Great. They are of Slavic descent and have no physical links to Alexander who is Greek. They were sponsored by Communist Russia in order to gain warm water ports, since many of Russia's sea ports freeze during Winter.
The Empire of Alexander is the Roman Empire so… the only question is who are the legitimate hiers. And I don’t see how you can possibly deny the Rurik dynasty.

What's with the simping for Russia? You're a Swede, a country with a long standing rivalry with Russia.

Yes, it started with Gustav Vasa, who rebelled against the Tsar and founded the Swedish separatist state. But I’m not Swedish ;)

Russia never controlled Sweden and your profile has you as a Swede.

You are one VERY confused individual.

Why wouldn't it ?
The drone has a good camera. If there's a mountain 20 miles away it can see it and take pictures of it when the drone is at head height. But point it out to the ocean at that height and there are no ships visible becuse the horizon is only 3 miles away and the ships are below that. Raise the drone to 300 feet and it can then see ships that are that are 20 miles away.

If the earth was flat then it would be able to see those ships 20 miles away when it was at head height. It can't...so where are they?

But if the moon is just over the horizon, wherever that might be, everyone sees exactly the same thing. But that isn't the case. If it's just over the horizon in London, it will look upside down if seen just over the horizon in Sydney.

Excuse the quick sketch, but it shows exactly what I mean.

Your flat earth map is completely wrong as well. Australia isn't long and thin. Having driven across it I can guarantee that.
-
No, people are looking at a convex disk facing the earth. There is no way they will be viewing the same area of the moon.

It is just like viewing an airplane flying directly toward or away of an observer. The airplane looks like it is flying straight up, but in reality the plane is flying parallel to the surface of the earth.

That’s because you know nothing about the Right of Kings

You know blue blood, born in the purple (as our Lord, Jesus Christ), etc.

I do live in Sweden.

Can you see where the road meets the sky? It’s not that far.

Sweden was never a part of Russia thiugh. Unless you mean Finland. The Divine Right of King's has jo bearing that simple historical fact.
Again demonstrating your ignorance. One does not simply declare oneself a king. There are orders of succession to follow. Which is why pretty much every surrounding nation attacked Sweden.

Edit: I mean every surrounding Kingdom, as nation-states wasn’t really a thing back then.

Even though Sweden existed as a kingdom since the 10th century, centuries before the idea of a Russian kingdom was ever thought of and centuries before Russia was Christianized, and that Russia only controlled Finland and not Sweden proper at all.

Your commentary is just... moronic and ahistorical and wrong.

Again I have to refer to you the Right of Kings. The Rurik dynasty didn’t have a problem with Sweden until Gustav Vasa, who was an illegitimate ruler.

But he won the war of Swedish Independence. Thus by simple logic, God was on his side and made him legitimate.
