Oh, I hasten to add: Had I ever said such a thing, regardless of the alleged meaning, in a sentence along with the name of Jesus, and then after getting scolded, made up an origin story for the expression that placed me as the underdog in a David vs. Goliath scenario where I emerged triumphant over a national power, then I'd best have just got my passport stamped for the Seventh Circle of Hell and got on with it.
Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.

What was the point of bringing up Hume, anyway? (and his interpretation wouldn't stand, by the way). That was like another Midgleyism from the same comment section I think, where he revealed something very general was "known to the French." I got the feeling the lesser educated non-believers were supposed to be impressed by his great range of learning.
But my favorite Midgleyism from yesterday was, when he went into a tirade about anonymity, and somebody called him on it for some of the posters on Sic Et Non, including Kiwi57. His response was to say that he knew who Kiw57 was in real life so that was okay. lol. Now that's one of those revealing moments about Mopologist psychology.

Amen, brother. My parents too. And grand-parents. And great-grandparents. And the 157 1st and 2nd cousins that infiltrated every place I ever acquainted in my youth. There would have been no getting away with the mopologist language I have recently learned.

What if you and your wife had been granted 2nd Indulgences and you were also in possession of the Apologetic Illearth Stone? This is not to say that you would need to be an ordained disciple of Morgoth (formally of the Ainur) or aligned with FARMs.

Yes, and don’t forget that the Editor in Chief of SeN has been going crazy with endorsements of one “Peter Pan” who is running a blog devoted to attacking the Heartlanders.

I don't know why this continues to surprise me, maybe it's because for all the weird Mormon stuff I grew up with, this level of mean-spiritedness just did not raise its head. Midgley lives in a far different, and exceedingly nastier world:

Dan, gemli began with the dogma that there can be no evidence. This is his excuse for not being the least bit interested in what learned people and and back in the past actually believed or why they held those beliefs. A mere rotting wad of meat cannot question where the bad smell is coming from or that it is the source, to build on the metaphors he loves to employ.

emphasis added. OMG.
Also note that in calling Gemli a rotting bag of meat, twice, both DCP and Kiwi up-voted the accusation.
