They should just kiss

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

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

I’m here because Reddit started buying CBP adds. Fuck collaborators

I’ve never once checked my voicemail and I never will

But the brother will likely suspect that someone called the cops. And there’s a good chance he will suspect his family members. With a personality like OP describes, having proof of who filed the report isn’t likely relevant, he will “know” who filed it, and that will be good enough for him to act on. Hypothetically, anyway

Better IMO to just leave. Don’t even let yourself be put into that situation in the first place.

That’s an emotionally devastating environment apart from the real physical threats.

Very cool of you.

Get out now. It will be hard, but it’s better than dying and better than living in constant fear of violence.

Please take this seriously. Protect yourself

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.

No, but that seems to be the first thing you think of.

Its ok though, thoughts aren’t crimes. Body shaming only happens when you externalize those thoughts, so I think you’re good.

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.

But, that’s why I’m here

This same behaviour happens to me, but only once in a while.

Homelabbers of the world rejoice

You can’t negotiate for your nachos though
