The constitution give you a right to organize 30 of your neighbors, armed with guns, and chase them out of your neighborhood.

You also have the right to put buckshot into the face of anyone who illegally breaks into your home.

They should just kiss

2 weeks? That’s like a once a decade vacation.

Seems like they could just restrict their people from ordering butt plugs, what with having the ability to order them to do things.

When your house is currently up in flames, you don’t worry that it’s going to be foreclosed on. You gotta priorities the most imminent problem.

Can’t it just be Taiwan’s?

Hasn’t China stated that they intend to reclaim Taiwan? Don’t they claim Taiwan as part of their country right now?

I totally believe this works, but there’s no way I’m clicking on any of those links

There’s a very real and very disturbing possibility that the Democrats will choose not to prosecute the criminals, or at least not fully root out the problem, in the name of “national unity” or whatever

Those are the “good” ones.

Until it’s their turn.

So I guess the question at this point is, will there be a “gestapo” to take over from the SA, or will this be the extent of it?

“Sure, ask me any questions you want. I know a lot about drugs, I do 'em all the time”

That menacing, life robbing, black ice! A perfectly safe neighborhood can be terrorized by the appearance of black ice!

I like this mentality, but from from your average citizens please

The beauty of open source projects is that if they are abandoned, other people can pick them back up. Sure it may be difficult, but if it wasn’t FOSS it wouldn’t even be possible.

I’ve heard this sort of tactic described as “street epistemology”

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.
