DBWI: the invincibile armada fails

Just read Terry Hurtledove's "Brittania Rules the Waves!". He provides some good ideas about the effects of an English victory as told from the perspective of the famous playwright Chrstopher Marlowe. Not his best novel, however. It's marred by too many stupid sex scenes, not to mention the audacious presumption that the invincible armada could actually have failed.

OOC: Eh, I wouldn't go that far (this isn't exactly a common thing, just annoying and offensive when it pops up).
O.O.C.: If this was a one-off thing I wouldn't pay it any attention but sadly I'm beginning to see a trend on this site. Whenever some kind of theocracy in AH.com TL pops up, it HAS to be a dystopia. And when people think they have to say "don't worry guys, I'm no troll -- I'm an atheist" in order to feel accepted by the site's community, I feel rather disturbed. So much for AH.com being an open-minded website dedicated to unbiased discussion of history :rolleyes:.

Why are you risking the Inquisition coming to your home and arresting you on a public forum? He is a subversive against the Church and a heretic!

I'm going to go hide somewhere now. We will never expect it when the Inquisition strikes.

OOC: Wait, what. I mean this is totally offensive and a stereotypical depiction of Catholicism in general but I in no way notice that, when people like the artist formerly known as Mormon Mobster can be entirely accepted members of the community I think theres no issue with atheists dominating the discussion and others feeling alienated. My main point here in this thread is that its nothing but a parade of awful stereotypes of the religion I was raised to be in and then promptly abandoned.

OOC: we were having fun mostly, don't know why people abandoned the thread but personally i believe atheists wouldn't profit of stealthy propaganda.
