Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion

While it's a nice pejorative and definitely earned as an insult in many cases, Trump supporters are not technically cultists, at least in my mind. A cult requires not only an information silo, but isolation and dependency on the leader. I've theorized that cults could exist outside of a compound-lik...

Re: Bigotry Unleashed: "SeN" Declares Open Season on Calvinism and Other Faiths

My apologies Doctor Scratch, I wasn't very clear. I was rushed as I was to meet a friend for dinner. Funny enough, and I'm not making this up, he's been on his way out of the Church, and has had run ins with online Mopologetics that left a very bad impression on him. In fact, he told relatives about...

One can, in other words, "write and speak" about them in a respectful way Not according to Kiwi57. According to him, you can only ever utter positive expressions of your faith, even as LDS. He went so far to defend this framework, he interpreted that scripture in D&C 1:30 "the only true and living ...

Re: What is Gravity?

Valo, Using chatGPT was a creative idea to get some baseline concept descriptions going when you had at least three people saying sorta the same thing but not for sure. However, in your latest attempt, you're going well beyond its ability to generate answers. Remember, the "P" in GPT means "plagiari...

Re: What is Gravity?

Simple, their experiment assumed that the Aether would just go around the earth. But it doesn't, it goes through the earth and into the earth and into the matter particles and is annihilated. So if their experiment does not assume the correct details they are not going to arrive at the correct resu...

Re: Charity from the heart.

Yeah, it sounds good in principle, but just because I claim to be saved and claim that therefore goodness is flowing forth through me via the holy spirit and that's more natural than a Mormon who has to do the works and then get the carrot or get the stick, doesn't mean the holy spirit really exists...

Re: What is Gravity?

If I understand the thread you linked to, you asked the DS how he would respond to Michelson-Morley; which is pretty epic on your part. I mean, talk about exceeding expectations. The universe is pressurized by the aether. The aether travels with respect to high pressure areas and low pressure areas,...

Re: Libertarian-ish and Loving It

I thought you were libertarian, fundamentally, as you say
That is true. I think we can have some self-reflection.

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Let's take the most simple statement of the problem by MG 2.0: The only objective reality is that which exists outside of our own mind. On another thread Gadianton marks me as as being solipsistic. In a certain respect that is true. Solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind i...
