Of the many shared features between Buddhism and traditional Christianity, a less remarked upon one is an intense relic cult.

LLMs are unsurprisingly excellent conversation partners for practising Latin prose composition. Not only grammatically, but even more importantly, stylistically, they can help refine composition towards desired classical models.

This is ofc a perversion of "peace" in any Traditional sense of the word. Both the Hebrew "shalom" and the Greek "eirene" do not mean peace as in the passive avoidance of conflict, rather peace is to be in harmony with God and to have things in their proper God ordained order.

Religiosity is a necessary factor for the capacity of a society for war. The military prowess of all great empires requires a faith that can persuade thousands of men to die together. This is why, today for example, America eclipses all of much more secular Western Europe.

Rome peaked under Numa Pompilius, not under Augustus. What we consider the glory of Rome is really the afterglow of its archaic vigour, the vitality contained in its native traditionalism and sober religiosity.
