I guess, when I look at the discussion of Sandy here http://www.mormondiscussions.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=26745 I don't see much difference in the tone. Seems to me there was a notable absence of compassion for victims here, as well. That's why I say: just humans doing what humans do. by ...

Thanks for the link lulu! And to everyone who responded. Bayes Theory sounds potentially helpful in theory, but the few examples I've read sound a little like handwaving. I'll admit, the big, nasty equations have scared me off so far, but maybe braving them will be worth it.

lulu, I see your point, but to get there you had to (1) ignore stuff Z actually posted in the thread and (2) insert and highlight stuff Z didn't post to the thread. Here's the OP: This one kind of has me scratching my head and praying for all those who find themselves in the path of this perfect sto...

You have to sign up for the e-list. I get mine delivered to my in-box every morning. Not first thing, mind you. The boss likes to sleep in.

Maybe I'm just getting jaded in my old age, but I finally got around to reading the thread, and didn't think it was shameful. It was, well, what humans do when disasters happen. Ever since the LDS church was founded, Mormons have believed that Christ's return is imminent. (Except Packer throwing on ...
