21·19 days agoHasn’t China stated that they intend to reclaim Taiwan? Don’t they claim Taiwan as part of their country right now?

“Sure, ask me any questions you want. I know a lot about drugs, I do 'em all the time”
Oh and to answer your original question, I don’t think any modern denomination “believes” that stuff. Aquinas is considered an important theologian, but his ‘scientific examinations’ or whatever he called them are generally regarded as a product of their time.
I’m assuming by “minister” you are referring to some manner or Protestantism. That would make sense - the Protestant Reform was fairly recent compared to the Aquinas and Pseudo-Dionysus, and happened after the printing press and during the Renaissance. People were much more disposed to leave behind that sort of mythological baggage when starting their new religion.
It’s pretty wild shit, honestly. Milton’s Paradise Lost and Dante’s Inferno are both theological classics and they honestly read like high fantasy works at times.
I think that’s like, Thomas Aquinas level stuff and older. I think Aquinas systematized the beliefs, but they originated earlier with Pseudo-Dionysus and others.
That means it’s old school Catholic. But like, really old school, like 5th century Early Church stuff, hundred of years before the Great Schism. Seems likely that the ideas maybe were borrowed or influenced from even older religious ideas, but that’s just speculation on my part.
Humans, and most of nature, are really just a bad design all around.
It’s one of the most obvious reasons to believe a creator did not make these things. An intelligent designer would have designed things intelligently.
Drop Bears are no joke
Check out this harrowing encounter a reporter had with a really viscous Drop Bear.
I could work an extra hour if I want. If that would cover 12 sandwiches, I would do it, too.
I said could not would
I don’t celebrate Christmas. Neither as a religious holiday nor a secular holiday.
Honestly, I don’t know how you people do it. Aside from the social aspect which would kill me, how do you all just have hundreds of extra dollars every year to buy stuff for people, like… regardless if they need or want something? It baffles me, to be honest. The whole culture for 1/4 of the year in this country just baffles me.
I don’t know who that is or what’s going on, but I would probably have the same expression on my face if I was about to do that to Jake Paul
And it will inexplicably have peas in it as well
Then they need to give all their money to the government
Billionaires simply cannot exist without their money coming from the exploitation of the “lower classes”
Some people will be better at sports than others. That’s just like… reality
The language we use today is a bastardization of how language was. Every complaint you make about people using language wrong someone has made about the language you are using. And they complained first


They should just kiss
