Re: Math is hard for at least three liberals
Can you imagine dickmdborn’s reaction had Obama posted this during a pandemic? https://mobile.Twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1236778368533700609 But. You know. It’s only the leader of the free world who has the mind of a toddler. - Doc I guess that I shouldn’t number you among my fans. Let me k...

Re: Math is hard for at least three liberals
I thought he was counting the original Twitter poster as the third. Doh. Of course! Assuming the Twitter poster was a liberal, it turns out that I'm the one who can't count. Hilarious. My crow-eating apologies to Mdborn. I initially made that mistake on Twitter so I can’t cast stones at anyone else...

Math is hard for at least three liberals
Brian Williams and Mara Gay (editorial board of the NYT) won’t win any math prizes. m Gee, if there are millions on both sides of the equation they cancel out and the number per American is slightly more than $1.50. I check my actuarial projections by whether they’re reasonable. If they’re not, I re...

Re: New Radio Free Mormon Episodes - Patrick Mason + Defende
“The whole key for me is that we don’t have to read scripture like fundamentalist Protestants do . . . . A lot of the assumptions we’ve had even behind the questions of the past 45 minutes, these are assumptions about scripture that come from fundamentalist Protestantism. Uh, this is not the way Ca...

Re: On Sandra Tanner and "Enemies of Mormonism"
I attended Sunstone in 2002 and went to their bookstore. I had a good conversation with Sandra. While I was there, two LDS obnoxiously verbally attacked both of the Tanners. They reinforced my negative stereotype. On the other hand, I one spent about 90 minutes with Bruce Metzger. He was pleased th...

Re: On Sandra Tanner and "Enemies of Mormonism"
Sandra is my friend and I finally got to meet her in person last summer. I think that using the word enemy is not a big deal. Sandra is religious and believes in good and evil and uses the terminology of the Bible as descriptors. Just like Satan is the enemy of Christ, Mormonism is the enemy of Chr...

Hi All
Just in case anyone’s curious what I’ve been up to recently: 1. Have appeared on a nationally syndicated radio program (The John Batchelor Show). 2. Have appeared on C-SPAN (for more than an hour). 3. Have a review of a new documentary which will be published in November (maybe tomorrow). The errors...
