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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
