Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Perhaps you should read what Josh actually said. The lgbtq was a fairly small comment. I think the atheist focus was his primary point. I haven't been able to find any place where Paul Graham identifies as an atheist either. I can't find evidence for any of these claims: ... people like Paul Graham...

Exactly. For both of them.

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

I have to admit, I agree with Josh. If someone of disreputable character quotes Jesus, that’s not wrong but why not just quote Jesus instead of some random no name I’ve never heard of? Isn't this precisely what this thread is about? You can derail any thread by making personal accusations, and they...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

President Biden might be worse off than I think or not, it's hard to know which news feed to believe. I do recall most of the people who are convinced he is basically an invalid also thought the same of Senator Fetterman and many of them said with certainty Senator Clinton was at death's door while...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Is there somewhere Jesus tells us to do what Paul Graham teaches? No. But some of these levels are Paul Graham telling us to do the same things Jesus teaches. Particularly at the name calling level. And some of these levels are Paul Graham telling us to do things that we see in the rest of Scriptur...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Where does the Bible say we have to accept as authorities on topics of morality people who are anti-Christian? The Bible talks about sins of speech, but it doesn’t say I have to accept as a moral authority in righteousness every person who makes claims to be one. And the Bible does teach we should ...

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

So basically the court was 9-0 on whether this was a federal or state issue, which was the main issue in front of them. But the court split 5-4 on whether it is solely an area for Congress to decide (as opposed to the courts). And in the end, they made no actual ruling on Trump's qualification to b...

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

1. I think courts are the proper forum to determine the meaning of constitutional provisions and not Congress. The Court's primary role is to interpret the Constitution, including clarifying the extent and limits of the powers and duties assigned to different branches of government, including Congr...

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

Ken, I think you are mostly saying: 1. You disagree with the Supreme Court decision, and 2. You wish Congress would act to disqualify Trump Is that right? And you are mostly giving reasons you wish that would happen? I disagree with the Supreme Court punting on this issue. I think that was a partis...
