    Funny Political Memes

    I’ve told the story before about my pastor friend in Louisiana that works the gay pride parade in New Orleans. They don’t preach, they serve coffee and donuts and talk. He asked me once what it takes to develop and maintain a relationship. My answer was communication. Without communication there...

    How it started...How it's going thread

    🤷‍♂️ A lot depends on what happens between now and 2028. It's possible that it could get bad enough that it doesn't matter who the D's put up. Like I said, they need to be purged.

    How it started...How it's going thread

    Yeah, I get it. It’s like what are my principles worth now when the last year has felt like twelve and it feels like it is never going to end. During my annual review my supervisor asked me how it was going prepping for the ethics certification. I told him that I had to be perfectly honest, I...

    How it started...How it's going thread

    I’m really hoping for better candidates in the next election. I’m at the point where I’m not going to vote for any of the Trump MAGA sycophants, they need to be purged from the system. If the Democrats offer us another Barack Obama or Bill Clinton for the first time ever in a national election...

    Biden was clearly too old and incapable. The only reason Harris was chosen is because she was already on the ticket and they would still be able to use the campaign funds. She didn’t give any reason to vote for her, she was an unserious candidate. Steross asked if I was still happy with my...

    Political and Economic Theory Thread

    Government social programs are utilitarian. Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that, according to Bentham, one ought to do to that which causes happiness for the greatest number of people. Mill added that the quality of happiness is as important as the quantity. We make utilitarian decisions...

    Philosophy & Religion Thread

    "Science in the bible is only accurate in that it accurately depicts the understanding of the natural world in the time and cultural of the original oral histories/texts." What does that mean? 1 Samuel 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to...

    Philosophy & Religion Thread

    Since you're asking... to start with, there's a difference between doctrines that I "accept" and doctrines that i "believe or affirm". The latter are dearly held, the former not so much. I had already stated in an earlier post how I differ from most evangelicals and all fundamentalists in the...

    Philosophy & Religion Thread

    I have explained it and in fact did so in the very message where I said, "I accept inerrancy". If you want to ask questions I'll be more than happy to answer them. What I'm not going to do is argue over it, debate it, or fight about it. If this thread is going to be religion and philosophy fight...

    Philosophy & Religion Thread

    I do not care if anyone else accepts inerrancy as fact or not and have never made such a claim. A question was asked about inerrancy and I said that I accepted it with the qualifications that I gave. This looks like an exit point for me. I’ll leave you to it.
