What if Münster held out? Would there be all kinds of things named after it today like Geneva? Would there be a Van Leyden College? Would the sorts of people attracted to radical new ideas have gone with Münster instead—everybody likes a winner—and left the other Anabaptist groups like the nascent ...

I was surprised to read that Protestantism may have “officially” overtaken Catholicism in Brazil. I knew Protestantism and Pentecostalism was strong across Latin America and growing stronger but Catholicism is the cultural incumbent so a lot of people would be officially counted Catholic by default ...

It probably would have been better to have split the thread starting with Josh’s post quoting Max. I suppose whichever mood split the thread thought it would be clearer that way without too much thought. If Max doesn’t want to be the first post in this thread the solution would be to move his post b...

One thing that could be a good thing, yet I see a down side as well, is helpful YouTube videos. Gone are the days of having to get a manual and read it.

I can give you the key to what’s going on here: once you’ve met and figured out one pathological liar (i...

Maybe this is because government often doesn't pay as much as the private sector and the best tech people don't want to work for government agencies. This isn’t it. State-level actors are widely known to deploy the most sophisticated and novel attacks. Although maybe it’s that anyone in government ...

It is unpronounceable in Spanish … Anyway, I hear teachers in my school using this term to describe their students in faculty meetings when I guarantee that not a single one of their Latino or Hispanic immigrant parents uses the term themselves. Unpronounceable in English too, I thought. My mind al...

If MaxPC confirms he has been re-baptized on confession of his own faith, I can see he would an anabaptist Catholic but not a catholic Anabaptist. Hmm, but in that case he wouldn’t be accepting the authority of the Pope who says his infant baptism was valid and so would not be Catholic. The authori...
