Yup. Time to take a close look at AIPAC and what they do. In this video, Cynthia McKinney says that all of Congress at the time she was there was pressured to take a loyalty oath to Israel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImFMcbF2MYY That is unacceptable. We aren't the United States of Israel. Time...

My experience with the guy when I was posting at Sic et Non was one of constant derision. Not a friendly guy to those that disagree with him. To him, either you are for his worldview 100% or you are a religious bigot. So, I'm not surprised that he has taken his game to Quora. I wonder how many conve...

MG is here to preach the good word according to him. No one can understand him except he, himself, and Jesus, obviously. So, he is off-limits to criticism as no one can understand what goes on inside his head. So, preach away good buddy. Don't know what success you'll have, but, Ammon and his brethr...

Do you know what libertarian means? Yes. For example, see the typical fare of libertarian fantasizing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9-et4H1jvY&t=1s I thought you were libertarian, fundamentally, as you say: https://discussmormonism.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=158359&p=2854286&hilit=libertarian...

There is no getting rid of Hamas and Israel is being disingenuous by pretending that is even a possible goal. They want us to believe they have absolutely no idea how Hamas is created. Hamas is a product of decades of oppression, occupation, rape and murder by the Israelis, whether it be from the I...

Microscopic Nephites. I think that might prove fruitful as a theory. Central America is a tough climate with a lot of parasites. They could have arrived and then were shrunk to the microscopic level due to the climate. It would explain the utter lack of evidence. It's on the microscopic level! Maybe...

I agree that individuals and groups see things differently. It's obvious. I also believe there is an objective reality and that we all need to give up certain subjective beliefs in order to conform to the objective reality we learn as time goes on. It's part of the repentance process, to put it int...

You really need to ponder what I highlighted above and then ponder it again and then try and look objectively at Joseph Smith and what he did and the scholarship that has come out as to his sources, like http://jur.byu.edu/?p=21296 Thomas Wayment: I tend to agree that the command to “translate” the...

Repeating a quote I posted earlier: There are two layers of reality. There is the objective reality of what happens, and there is the subjective reality of how what happened is seen, interpreted, made meaningful. That second subjective layer can sometimes be the more important layer. As the Yale ps...

adding two fallacies together doesn't achieve coherence, it just slightly increases the work to untangle the errors. I think your brain is wired to detect fallacies in my sentences even when there aren't any. Not really. You are making it harder to untangle because you're not disclosing the fact th...
