My vote is for thoughtfully, but yes, I agree definitely racist.
Who would have thought? (here she is again...)

Racism is so ingrained in the society and culture that MaGa 2.0 was born and raised in, that he likely didn’t realise he was being racist when he typed that. At least I hope he didn’t. Such divisive language should have no place on our board. He should apologise to the board for mistakenly using it, but maybe that's too much too hope for. At the very least we should expect MaGa 2.0 to correct himself next time, prior to posting a racist phrase on the board.

For all those lurkers and board members with Native American heritage, I’m sorry you had to read that from one of our posters. Please be assured that’s not something this board and the overwhelming majority of board members will tolerate.
Agreed. But, he won't correct himself because now it's a new trolling thing to do. Trolls have no shame.

I’m starting to think that you might be right about his intentions. The evidence is building up. He is still linking and running so now Dr Shades has to move those posts to Outer Darkness when they’re reported by someone. But at least they get moved and don’t clutter up the threads anymore.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

So now that they’re off the hook, who or what are we blaming?
There has been much said on this in the last few days, so I don't know that it necessarily bears repeating. What I'd be interested in is the take of progressives/liberals. What caused Tyler Robinson to make such a sudden and clean break from his conservative family and their values? Simply teenage rebellion? That led to murder? What are your thoughts, canpakes? An anomaly?

IHQ? Marcus? (and of course, canpakes)

Marcus and IHQ, your posts are now simply devolving instead of evolving. You can do better. Now that the racist card is blown...what's next?

An option might be that God told him to do it, in the same way He told Nephi to kill Laban. Murder if God tells you to do it is okay as far as Mormons are concerned, right?

Have you seen any evidence that would tell you Tyler was told by God to kill Charlie Kirk? As a matter of fact, we do have God telling Nephi to kill Laban in the Book of Mormon. I think you're making an unwarranted stretch. But yeah, that's a possibility, I guess.

Thing is, I don't think you really believe that.

That being so...what do you see as a more plausible explanation from where you're sitting and your worldview? Take Mormonism out of it for just a wee minute. Why did Tyler make such a sudden and dramatic change from his upbringing in a faith filled childhood and conservative home?

It would be interesting to see what you would say if Tyler put that forward as his defence. Presumably at that point you’d support him, right?

Why do you think Tyler came to the point that he was able to pull the trigger apparently without remorse? From the perspective of YOUR worldview.

Search me. No idea. And unless he fesses up during the court case, we will never know.
