The seven heavens is an extension of the seven named heavens of Judaism. Islam also has seven named heavens.

There is a reference to a third heaven in the Bible and a reference of ten heavens in a book that was not included by the Council of Nicaea.

That can backfire and then you get a retarTed Talk about how their viewpoint is the right one.

I just say “Bless your heart.” and walk away. Works best when talking to northerners because they don’t know what that means.

Why does the story have to have race as a point?

Does a character have to be white or Latino or Asian, etc?

If the race or sex of the character adds nothing to the story, why include it in the first place?

Is the story less if the reader to knows the character is a Hispanic female?

If race or sex isn’t relevant to the story, then it is unnecessary to include and robs the reader of imagining the character based on their own biases and divinations your writing imparts. If you can write a truely great piece of work without saying what gender or race any character is, that would be remarkable.

It just so happened to be the monastery that kept the cudgel of St. Patrick.

If the governor has done well by them, why get rid of them?

If the last for years were worse than the four years prior, why would you vote for the last four years again?

The problem with patches is you don’t satisfy the oral aspect of the habit so you may need to chew gum or sunflower seeds to replace the act of smoking.

Nicotine gum or pouches may seem like a simpler option, but you can up your dose frequency too much to be able to ween off effectively if you do not have the willpower to keep to a plan.

Gum and patch also means you can not use a patch after a while and mindfuck your reptile brain into thinking the gum is what it wanted and not the nicotine patch.

That seems counterproductive.
