I totally agree.
Too much Aristotle. Ratramnus didn't believe in it, neither did Berengar of Tours, nor did the earlier Eriugena seem to. There were other forms...
No, my BMI is too low. I tried such fasting before. I just collapse (literally).
Jesus fasted from all foods for 40 days. Lent is not a total fast from all food, so it's not nearly the same. I don't see what point you're...
Lent is 46 days for Anglicans and RCC too. Unless you completely miss out Sundays, but 46 is usual.

Some monastics and desert fathers followed vegetarian, pescetarian or other like diets, such as the Benedictines not eating four-footed animals....
So what is a gender, then? Why wasn't it recognised throughout all of history? Why is it only now? Gender is really being used because brains...
These people are confusing merely having a personality with 'gender'. It's made up and was only previously ever used in linguistics. My sex is...
