Re: Political office

Maybe you should stop using GPT at all if it’s going to spew that kind of absolute nonsense.

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

It’s just interesting how you immediately leap to blaming “southern schools”, as if schools in other areas are paragons of academic excellence and historical accuracy.

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

The judiciary shouldn’t be in charge of the executive branch. If the President needs removed. The legislative branch can do that. If the people want to elect a President, they should be allowed to elect him. Unelected, unaccountable judges should not be the ones setting policy and deciding if they c...

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...

Do you think Tennessee consists of “southern schools”?

Re: Archaeologists need to quit being so quick to…

The present day world claims a man can turn himself into a woman, that a baby isn’t a baby and it’s OK to kill it, and that our great great great grandparents were animals like monkeys*. I’m not so sure the modern world is any less superstitious than the ancients. * Before Ken responds that evolutio...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

Who has access to what on the internet. Trying to filter and moderate this would be like trying to herd cats. For myself if I were running something like that I could probably salve my conscience sufficiently by implementing a commercially available filter with generous settings - just to filter ou...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

I don’t believe in the trinity. One could ask the question, when did the church decide on the co-deity of the Holy Spirit? I’ll give you a hint, it wasn’t the first council Constantine called for. No I agree. Because it was much earlier, and not by a council, but by teaching passed down from the be...

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...
