Re: ChatGPT Summarizes the Tenets of Anabaptism

I think Josh is onto something in his observation that advocacy for the principle of Religious Freedom for all is likely a ChatGPT overreach. As a persecuted people, Anabaptists wish for religious freedom, we have sought out places with religious liberty, and we (non-coercively) advocate for our rig...

Re: ChatGPT Summarizes the Tenets of Anabaptism

This one snuck in there: Religious Freedom: Anabaptists have historically championed the idea of religious freedom for all, advocating for the right of individuals to freely practice their faith without persecution. I don’t think Anabaptists have been known to be a people fighting for the fight of ...

ChatGPT Summarizes the Tenets of Anabaptism

I asked ChatGPT to summarize the tenets of Anabaptism. Here is its response - not bad I would say! Anabaptism is a Christian movement that emerged during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. While there are variations among different Anabaptist groups, some common tenets and principles in...

Re: Bill Barr on Trump

Let every policy and policy maker that contributed to widespread FATHERLESSNESS as the cultural norm be identified, apologized for, walked back, the incompetent and corrupt stepping down - in humility and voluntarily. Frankly, "political policy" seems well down the list behind personal mo...

Re: 200 Mass shootings in 127 Days

Personally, I think the problem is unstable people with easy access to too many guns. The question is "why the sudden increase in personal instability? I'll suggest a few things... -Easy access to news perspectives and opinions without those pundits needing to give account for the ideas they f...

Re: 200 Mass shootings in 127 Days

It’s telling that some of you are focused on “shootings” yet remain strangely silent about the other mass killing this week, that is, one with an SUV that killed half a dozen people. Or the lunatic running around Chicago right now beating strangers (including a young mother with a baby) with a base...

Re: Bill Barr on Trump

The ripple effect of a government default would damage US and world economies - and would punish millions. Dan, I see the delusion that there is money to keep paying for more stuff to be more damaging. Once the bubble pops, it will be very detrimental. I think it is better to say, "I just can'...

Re: Bill Barr on Trump

...when you overspend, at some point you got to stop spending. And if you are in debt and you have problems paying, you don't take on more debt, like this administration wants to do. Yet Biden, his counsel and KJP lack the common sense to figure that out. And that is what Biden's counsel must be te...

Re: Bill Barr on Trump

Border chaos, Ukraine chaos, Taiwan chaos, Oil chaos, Hunter chaos, Inflation chaos vs Twitter chaos. Hmmm. Hard to choose. I think the point is that any leader needs to have better thinking processes in order to be a capable leader. I think there’s going to be chaos regardless. But Barr is saying ...
