Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
Facts are not about building partisan loyalty. They are the opposite. That's the point. To discuss facts, we first have to stop reframing every fact in partisan terms and telling everyone what we think of all the people involved. We have to stop playing the games associated with the lower levels of...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
Let's be clear about who these people are. Some conservative Mennonites (such as myself) like to point out inconsistency, like I used to do when people would endless complain about Obama back in the 2014 era. I did it back then, and I continue to do it now. I don't think this is about whether peopl...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
But I also see conservative Mennonites here who either (1) try to avoid championing political things, (2) try to split everything down the middle, making both sides look the same, or (3) try to be studiously fair. Regardless, I think I see WAY too little discussion of how we, as Christians, live in...

Troubled
I'm looking at an apparent contradiction between some things Jesus says in the Book of John, using the same Greek word: troubled (ταράσσω) Look particularly at John 12:27: “Now my soul is troubled , and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to thi...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
So I suppose this topic is over then. There are two separate questions here. The first question is whether or not Trump is legally qualified to be a presidential candidate. The Supreme Court did not rule on that question. They simply ruled that State courts are the wrong forum to make that determin...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
MennoNet indeed does look that way if one simply ignores the Politics group, which is, well, where political discussion happens. A forum full of conservative Anabaptists is not a good place to go to find (a) denouncements of your political enemies, and (b) endorsements of your political allies. Act...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
It ain't gonna happen, regardless. A new lawsuit on this same topic probably wouldn't make it to the Supreme Court.
