    Fiona Hill: "The president was trying to stage a coup"

    So my extreme belief that twice two is four will be transformed how?

    Ukraine Crisis

    Yes but Ffreeloader's point is that the Russian polity let that happen. It wasn't exactly democratic, but it wasn't exactly not democratic either.

    Every church has a senior pastor. The popes are the senior pastors of the Church in the Bible.

    I could only speculate. Certainly the teaching on same-sex offense as sinful continues from the Old Covenant into the New Covenant, but the punishment for it does not. In fact the Church has only approved of the death penalty at all when it is otherwise unavoidable for innocent people to be safe.

    Fiona Hill: "The president was trying to stage a coup"

    Break down complex propositions into their elements and examine them independently.

    Fiona Hill: "The president was trying to stage a coup"

    Idiotic. What's the non-binary way to think about whether twice two is four? It either is or it isn't.

    You don't actually have to listen to what cheerleaders say. You can just watch the game.

    Ukraine Crisis

    I agree, had Mr. Gorbachev had his druthers it would have been. Mr. Yeltsin was no Mr. Gorbachev.

    It is pretty big ngl. And it's all instruction, or, catechesis.

    Ghost sighting

    Mephistopheles is a fictional demon. This is like Ghost being into duck worship, and then suddenly 'dropping' a song about Daffy Duck with a straight face. It's theater. Confirmed.

    Constitutional Monarchy

    But only if the king wants that. If he just up and decides that nobody is authorized to enforce any law, then there isn't any rule of law for anybody. Where I agree is that there is injustice in a system where more money buys you better attorneys. We ought to fix that. It doesn't sound like...

    Bald assertion. iow "saying it doesn't make it so". I have never lied, I explained what I have been doing below. I understand what you're saying, and then when I base an argument on what you're saying, you say, "No, that's not what I was saying." Lather, rinse, repeat. Ad infinitum. I...

    Ukraine Crisis

    Oh come on. America is widely diverse and getting more diverse every day. Between Hawaii and Alaska plus the continental states we've also got our own fair share of timezones. And while just "traditional Western democracy" is what's more easily available right now, I don't really support that...

    Then you don't know, or you're lying, because otherwise you'd know and confess that I have concluded Catholicism after asking all the questions----all of them. The answer is Catholicism. Straw men are the only things you make available to debate. All anyone can do is read and read and read...

    Ukraine Crisis

    I agree there aren't any "angels" here. I want to see durable world peace though, and the one thing that even secular political scientists and international relations experts all confess is that modern democracies do not go to war with each other, ever. So based on the data then, the only path...

    This oldie is not easy, but it's important. What is the true root objection to MAD? The answer is that, I don't really have any "root objection" to MAD, it's just competing with Catholicism is all. I'd take a different tack if I were debating Orthodox Christians instead of MADs, and I suppose...

    Ukraine Crisis

    I agree but then only one of these folks is acting overtly belligerently and it's the Russians, and plus we caught them in their lies when we exposed their 'build up' which looked to all the world like they were preparing to unilaterally and without justification invade Ukraine, and then they...

    Ukraine Crisis

    Oh no. I was the one delivering the hidden insult (hidden within an open insult; it was 'a two-fer'), not you. You just found it. :)
