I would have little trouble with the Netherlands being Celto-Germanic, but really: the Netherlands are Germanic full stop. The vast majority of Dutch place-names are Germanic. Then there are a few...

I need to be somewhere green and cool and leafy, and since after Germanics I feel most at home with Celts, I'd say Wales and Ireland. Wales has lovely sheep filled hills and forests and a very...

Firstly, God is only “personal” in an analogous sense. He is not a person like you and me but then with super powers. He is “personal” insofar as he is certainly not less than a person.

Can I disprove it? :thumbsup

Anyway, the druids were wiped out by a fully heathen Roman Empire that was reportedly...

Can you back this claim up or did you just pull it from your arse?
