@AuthorGFAllen My WIP is an alternative history about Julius Caesar - five years after the Ides of March, he is returning to Rome after conquering the Parthian Empire, and trying to reform and restore the Republic before retiring from public life.

@AuthorGFAllen Two things, really. I read THE DA VINCI CODE and was angered by its slander on the Christian faith, and secondly, I read a best-selling book by an established Christian author and it was awful. I knew I could do better (and I think I did, even if my sales never matched his).

@Ihunanya_chi I simply believe that Jesus of Nazareth was who He claimed to be, and that the Gospels are accurate records of His life.

In many religions, fear is what keeps people there. So let me ask you as a Christian: what is keeping you in Christianity? ✝️

@hbulwark1 The Articles of Confederation had already demonstrated the folly of such a decentralized design. How long before a state chose to secede from the Confederacy?

Imagine if the CSA had won the Civil War and successfully defended their homes to become its own country. Thoughts? The US Constitution starts with “We the People” and aimed to create a stronger federal Union. The CSA Constitution was very similar overall, but key differences included: • Each State described as sovereign & independent • President limited to one 6-year term + line-item veto • Used 'delegated' powers to the central government (to keep it weaker) • Banned protective tariffs & restricted some federal spending Many Southerners still to this day viewed the war as primarily about states rights and resisting federal overreach, not slavery as the main cause.

What's a scripture you hold on to but not a lot of people know about? Not Philippians 4:13. Not John 3:16. Give me the hidden gems, the ones you cherish in your heart but never see on shirts. Drop the verse below.

@acewizardnz That being said, most Mormons I have met are genuinely decent people who make a real effort to abide by the tenets of their faith.

Actor Mark Ruffalo recently called Donald Trump “the worst human being in the world”. What would you like to say to Mark?

@mcgillmd921 Mentioning Trump and Caesar in the same sentence is an insult to the memory of the Divus Julius!

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) isn’t new. Julius Caesar had the same effect on Roman senators that Donald Trump has on his opponents today. Smart. Accomplished. Rational men. Until Caesar entered the conversation. Long before TDS there was Caesar Derangement Syndrome: CDS🧵

Nothing makes me sadder than when someone says "I hate reading." It makes no sense to me. Do you WANT to go through life ignorant, uncultured, and easily misled? Because you WILL.
