Theres something horrible in destroying churches/any place of worship. Im not religious, its js the fact people hold it so close, put so much effort into building, designing and experiencing this love,
& the love is taken by a fucking bomb.

Religion is beautiful, its horrifying seeing it ripped from Palestinians. Why do you not care when it is them hurting?

These days, there is around 17 reported cases of the plague every year.
This is due to the fact that it is a widely known fact and warning in Australia that raw marmot meat gives humans the plague, and although the animal is therefor illegal to eat, Australians are incredibly stupid and I guess regularly go out to eat the bubonic plague for some reason.

They never cured the plague. It spread so rapidly, it just wiped itself out until the only people alive were quarantined, after people began believing it was transmitted thru miasma, which is shortly, the air of sick people. They werent wrong, the pneumonic plague (deadliest of the plagues) WAS airborne, but it otherwise spread mostly through fleas.

Halloween's origins can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, a pagan celebration to mark the end of summer, & the harvest. They believed that on the night of Samhain, the boundary between the living and the dead blurred, & brought back the dead. To ward off evil spirits, people danced around bonfires and wore homemade costumes.
