Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
There's a theme here in modern "conservative" media. Pick someone convicted of a real, serious crime. Or who has done something really wrong that is not a crime. Tell everyone they are being unfairly persecuted because they are conservative. Tell everyone that we are all in danger of the s...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
A pardon does not mean that the person is innocent, or that he didn’t do what he was convicted of, or that the jury got it wrong. In fact, (I think) a pardon is an act of mercy extended, and one of the conditions of a pardon is that the person excepts his conviction and receives a pardon from the c...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
As a general rule, if you don't have left-wing politics, you'd better fear for your life if you are in a blue city (like Austin) and you find yourself stuck in a violent protest. The guy sends a text message that says "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters." He goes to Dallas. He shoots a...

Re: Proselytization
I think that proselytizing in a way to a way that leads people further from God is very bad, and there is a danger of that happening. What does doing it wrong look like? What does doing it right look like? II think the problem was not about the way they were proselytizing, but what they were prosel...

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...

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...
