Took awhile before zé penny dropped.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

The rest is irrelevant.
ThxbyeChristianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

The Palace of Blois is pretty interesting. It has 4 layers of it. The oldest part of the castle dates back to the 13th century, and then there was later medieval, renaissance and neoclassic parts that were added layer upon layer.
I also remeber they still have some weapons and armours from the 13th century there. A pretty good sight (besides, it's close to many pretty renaissance palaces)"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

The castle is smallish, but it's beautiful and there's a pit with real live bears beneath it. The bears had diarreah when I was there. Messy.

Bodiam is pretty and compact, and transitional :
Bodiam Castle is situated beside the River Rother in East Sussex. The castle was built in the late 14th century by a veteran of King Edward III's wars with France, originally as a coastal defence. In 1385, Sir Edward Dalyngrygge was given permission to fortify his house against invasion from France, but then decided to build a new stone castle a short distance away from the house.Vive la liberte.

Corfe Castle withstood a Parliamentarian siege, and suffered much for it:
By 1643 the Parliamentarians occupied most of Dorset, the castle survived a six-week siege. Sir John Bankes died in 1644 and the castle endured a number of half-baked blockades. Later in 1645 a second siege was started by Colonel Bingham, Governor of Poole, and courtesy of an insider the Roundheads took over in February 1646. Defended for the Royalists during the Civil War by the redoubtable Lady Bankes, the castle fell to treachery from within and was heavily slighted afterwards by the Parliamentarians. However, many fine features survive, including the gloriette, which features some of the best early Gothic architecture in England.
The Castle was systematically destroyed by the Parliamentary forces, but the fact that some remains is surely testimony to strength of construction.Toto88slot meyediakan permainan online yang sangat lengkap yang meliputi Togel dan Slot Online serta pelayanan 24 jam setiap harinya..
