Har tittat på #kingdomofheaven med sonen. Det är en helt okej film om man ser Director's Cut utgåvan (ser man på bio versionen not so much). Den är dock inte en film som är historiskt korrekt. Men det spelar mindre roll om den kan få någon att vilja veta mer om de historiska personerna. För mig är en bra historisk film en film som får åskådaren att vilja veta mer. Gör den det så har den enligt mig tjänat sitt syfte. #historia #medeltid #korstågen #crusades #middleages #History

A land dispute, and, as is often the case, the two fighting over the lands, the landgrave or count, and the archbishop survived, and nearly 100 'innocent' people died. Good argument in favor of public vs. private property, separation of church and state. These disputes always lead to shit!

Oh look! #Christians are pretending #Trump is a devout follower who "puts God first", and was sent by God to save America, again! And they wonder why the rest of the country views them as amoral hypocrites. These people are a joke.

Sorry, Hawley, but #Christianity is responsible for #slavery, and it was abolished in spite of the faith, not because of it. If #Christians had their way, wealthy, white landowners would still own black people today. And let's be clear; Christianity is responsible for more human suffering than any other cause in world history.
