@TomMontalk then isn't Earth a hell realm for the most part, with webs of predation being a primary motor for biological evolution (besides the Aristotelian formal/final factors we've denied)?
and that we've barely clawed our way out of the muck so far?
@Ljiljana1972 this is what "Balkan" really is. it lets some primitive, corrupt elements proliferate but it allows other aspects of life to breathe intuitively too.
@PaulSkallas eventually strict Catholic order/identity reasserted via Franciscans, Bosnian Church accommodated, monarchy & top nobility nearly all Catholic -> Bosnian Church -> back to Catholic @ the end.
@PaulSkallas dualist Bogomil theory was overhyped/ mostly fake. they were rural Christians inside a small & isolated catholic monastic order that was separated long enough to find doctrinal/hierarchical purity unnecessary. then hostile to Hungarian takeover ("Catholic" to them).
@Plemezulu9913@Lillard1985@DrizzyOnU@WarMonitors They were South Slavic rural christians in a generally Catholic monarchical-noble system (Krstjani/Bosanska Crkva wanting to be independent from Hungary & their bishopric). This is the story for most of Bosnia between Vrbas, Bosna, & Neretva. Hercegovina/Drina valley diff story.
@ill_Scholar Long story. Geographically, administratively, cultural-historically unique from Bosnia proper (Bosna&Vrbas rivers). Imagine Croatia came to be called Croatia&Dalmatia.
something like "New England and Deep South" (if that was the entirety).
@Nwa_FUTO@shedrinkswater Note I'm not suggesting it warrants a lack of respect or tenderness. But the species expected is not one that follows emotional and even provocative instability.
@Pat_Stedman This is where a lot of relationships turn into endless frame arguments and eventual verbal abuse -- shadowing the less obvious reactive abuse that it goes along with. A fear of setting argument boundaries that make the disconnect worse, or end the relationship.
