Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
Now lets get back on topic. Could you please clarify what the topic is, and what is on or off topic? A few pages back, I suggested that the topic of this thread is "Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?", which the Supreme Court seems to have settled. Is that the topi...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
I don’t think pointing out someone is of poor character is “as hominem”. Basically. I don’t think people of poor character and with a fundamentally anti-Christian worldview are the right place to go for either the truth or facts. Actually, I think this the very definition of "ad hominem"....

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
But I think there's a deep skepticism that facts exist at all. I think absolute truth exists and is embodied in Jesus, the Logos. I also think “facts” exist as a subset of this. I agree with you about truth from a biblical perspective. But I think the Bible also talks about false witness and gossip...

Re: War in Gaza
For anyone with the time, this is a really good piece on the moral dilemmas in this war and just how hard it is to do anything right. There's an auto-generated transcript on the Youtube version. Benjamin Wittes on Israel, Gaza, and Implications for U.S. Foreign and Domestic Policy On April 24, Lawfa...

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.

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...
