Because there’s literally no thought behind it.
It's not about thought, it's about analyzing the logic of arguments and evidence.

Criticism of historical figures is a practically irresistible pastime.

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

Hold the phone. . . you think SOCIETY is what's keeping young girls from wanting to date you?? Are you trolling again? Here, read what I told Gadianton Go ahead, I did watch the Tik Tok video.

The Totality Eclipse not hitting Salt Lake or Arrakis proves that both the Book of Mormon and the Dune series are true!
