Re: War in Gaza

I have yet to read or see anything sympathetic to Hamas, other than unfounded allegations in right wing click bait. I really do wonder where these outlets get their fake news.

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

The proper pathway is impeachment and conviction. Trump was impeached but not convicted. The end. Impeachment is for removal from office. This theory would allow any crime at the end of a president's term. Of course, in today's climate, impeachments will never lead to conviction because there are e...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Basically, I’m a lot more interested in how the Bible tells us to seek and find truth than how Paul Graham tells us to. (I’ve been reading Graham for about 20 years. I find a disturbing disconnect between his high and mighty talk and then what his venture fund actually funds. In short, I don’t think...

I'm waiting for Biblical literalists such as yourself to defend slavery.

Which is what that unpleasantness was all about.
Do you have a justification for sacking and burning down cities?

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Specifically, as Anabaptists, we actually think the substance of who the writer is important, and is a very important part of whether an argument is right or wrong. The idea that you can divorce an idea from the person who created it is not an Anabaptist way of thinking.
