Icelandic seemingly has not gone through the process of simplification that most modern European languages have. It is more like Old Norse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_language

I cannot find where any of your links say that there was a believe in a literal change, i.e. a change to observable properties.

Where in the link does it say that people thought there is a physical change as opposed to a spiritual one, "The signs of bread and wine become, in a way surpassing understanding, the Body and Blood of Christ." There is a big diff

by Gupie 9y ago
No one has every believed that the eucharist literally turns to blood and flesh. Your taste buds would tell you otherwise. I also would not quite agree that religion has retreated to "questions that have no answer". They have more

There are also Anglican Catholics that believe basically the same doctrine as Roman Catholics but have the Queen of England as head instead of the Pope.

The Catholic church used to teach that all non-catholics would be damned to "permanent eternal suffering". They have "backtracked" on this and there has not been any resultant problems.

What do you mean by "unbound fructose"? I assume fruit juices etc? Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate says "eat plenty of fruits", which says contrary to the advice given by many commenters here.

Yes, that's correct. Pliny the Younger wrote in his account of the eruption that it looked like his father has just fallen asleep.

The common good is a better prime directive IMO, and this is not a slippery slope to some fascist totalitarian dystopia. A simple example are traffic regulations. Speed limits are a restriction on individual liberty, but necessary for the c

And your mind can be programmed to ignore and forget anything that might indicate it is a simulation.

by Gupie 10y ago
Why does it need to be a complete simulation? At the extreme, it could be a simulation in which you alone are the only conscious entity. Nothing outside your immediate proximity is simulated.
