Christ and the Mythical Consciousness
The Catholic Church has always accepted that rationality properly nunderstood and used is a useful servant of the truth. As Aquinas says," light does not oppose light, and truth nodes not oppose truth.

Christ and the Mythical Consciousness
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
The phrase "saves your soul" causes me to consider two sentences from the film The next three days, with Russell Crowe.
The New Zealander has the role of a college professor who has his students read Don Quixote. A student identifies the novel as about virtue's search as more important than virtue itself.
The Crowe-interpreted character then indicates the novel as perhaps informing us that rational thought "eats at" or "eats away" the soul. He mentions rational thought as permitting rational thinkers to reside in a reality of their own choosing.
Would rational thought be contrary to our souls because of wending life through our -- not God's -- reality?

A Walk in Macclesfield Forest
America probably has a wider range of flavours than Britain does, but we have a range of types of sparkling water.

Between Now and Eternity
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
It's interesting that the "so called Origenists" invoked equality with Jesus Christ as issuing from "many" incarnations.
Is it known where the Origenists placed Holy Family members Joseph and Our Lady Mary in that incarnation series?
(In other words, might all or just some have to "work" -- ;-D -- at becoming Christ-ly?)

A Walk in Macclesfield Forest
Thank you to Frank and Veronica for their comments below in answer to my previous observation and question.
The sparkling water with which I best am acquainted is the Kroger grocery store brand. That brand offers store customers flavors, such as my favorite blood orange and pineapple coconut flavors.
Would sparkling water just be a generic sparkling water in British-Isles inns and pubs or would it welcome its purchasers to a flavor array such as the above-mentioned Kroger brand?

Dwarfs in Fairy Tales
Basque, Hawaiian and Incan dwarfs appeal to me.
Basque and Hawaiian dwarfs are not contrary or negative to human beings. For example, Basque ipotx and Hawaiian menehune assembled structures that became houses and monuments for human beings.
An Incan juchuyruna only could marry another dwarf even as a dwarf could socialize with Incan nobility and royalty.
It intrigues me that Basque and Hawaiian cultures invoke dwarfs as polite and shy in their intentness upon behaving nicely to and helping advance human beings.
Might such a kindly, positive all-round presentation by rare in world tendencies about fairy tales?

And Man Created God: review of the book
The second paragraph to the first subheading, The book in general, intrigues me with its end to its last sentence, "the heavily over-rated Augustus Caesar."
How is Augustus Caesar "heavily over-rated"?

Understanding Calculus: A Simplified Approach to Derivatives
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
The introductory paragraph begins with the characterization that "The derivative in calculus is an important concept. It provides a rate of change of a function, not over long periods, but at an instance."
Is the derivative the only provider of shorter-period change rates in a function?

Stiperstones: a hill with legends
Some hardy animals, for example English Longhorn cattle, can survive outdoors in cold conditions, but even they suffer in the worst conditions, so farmers take even these animals into barns when conditions are very bad.

There are no hard and fast rules on what plants are selected. IT IS PERSONAL CHOICE.

The living soil: encouraging soil fungi
Yes. It is the British way. Fallen trees are usually left for the fungi.
