  1. Why I was kicked (Protestantism/Christianity > other religions)

    As Calbear remarked in his last message kicking me, I was kicked 3 times in the last 13 months. I believe that this is the result of over-hasty judgment on the part of the moderators and I wish to explain myself before it happens again. I am not overly optimistic about my ability to get my...
  2. The Scorpion's Sting (reboot of "The Scorpion Bite")

    Hi everyone, I finally managed to find enough courage to get back to work on my earlier TL.

  8. A large Jewish Empire oppressing a tiny Rome by AD 0

    This is is a follow-up on an idea first developped in an earlier post. The starting point is the observation that there are many similarities between Rome and Jerusalem in the late 6th century (520-500 BC) : Both are small "temple states" Ruled by a priestly class The levites in case of...
