Ok, having read a number of SD's* posts, he reminds me very much of our old friend Tenete Traditiones/Defensor Fidei . . . .


*oh and SD stands for 'Super Deformed,' a type of charicature! I will refer to him as this whenever he posts

"Duh" comes to mind.

I kind of think they are puppets of Whittier.

They kind of argue the same......

Whittier doesn't seem like the type that would be that well-versed in Latin.

Servus Dei actually means "God's servant", although servus is more often used to mean slave.

hooray defensor fidei. Which is bad latin. I think it should be defense fidelis - "I defend faith"

Now it Servus Dei - I defend god.

hooray defensor fidei. Whish is bad latin. I think it should be defensore fidelis - "I defend faith"

Now it Servus Dei - I defend god.
That's not what it means. Servus is used as a noun here, not a verb.

I wanted Gen Curtis to have an argument with DF, but he got deleted. So now it will never happen. :(

That's not what it means. Servus is used as a noun here, not a verb.
then that would mean 'servent of god' which is still incorrect in its tense and conjugation.

Hooray for the return of DF! My life was getting so boring without him to entertain us all. :D

then that would mean 'servent of god' which is still incorrect in its tense and conjugation.
He might be using late Latin. Remember, there are several dialects of Latin that were used.

Eh, I'm pretty sure he wants to use the 'language of god' I.E. classical latin. If that's the case, he's wrong.

Plus, I like to think he's wrong anyway.

After reading through the first page of this thread, I came to the conclusion, "What is the purpose here?" God does not need a defender, He does well enough without us. On the other hand, He does require earth-bound servants for His purposes. :)

Servus Dei is grammatically correct, and nouns do not have tense

Defensor got a new screenie, huh? :p

Intellectual Pretense: $0
Severe Genetic Malfunction: $0

Credibility: Priceless.

Wherever you go, there's always an asshole ready to tip the scale on NS.

The language of the Latin Catholic Bible is Vulgar Latin.

yup

Servus Dei is correct Latin. As with Saint Servus Dei....

Defensor Fidei = Defender of the Faith....

So you won't confirm or deny anything then?

Ok, having read a number of SD's* posts, he reminds me very much of our old friend Tenete Traditiones/Defensor Fidei . . . .

How about we compare national animals and currencies with other known TT puppets?:

"Servus Dei's national animal is the agnus dei, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gratiae."

"Tenete Traditiones II's national animal is the lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pecunia."

"Jemell's national animal is the lamb , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the grace."


Hmmm... not having read any of SD's posts I would say he fits in the 'probably' file. Of course we could all just be pawns in a smear campaign operated by someone who has stolen/copied TT/DF's identity.

Servus Dei = Defensor Fidei ? undoubtedly

Servus Dei = Defensor Fidei = Tenete Traditiones ?

I dunno. TT seemed a hell of a lot more racist and anti-Semitic than SD/DF.

PS i found DF's Political Compass (http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/) score:

economic left: -1.12
social authoritarian: 2.92

I expected him to be above 6 in the social scale.
