I'm . . . obeying Him in the big ways. According to Him, they're the big ways. Torture and murder are both grave matter. There's no categorical distinction between the two as regards gravity. So more like, I'm going to either murder him or I'm going to steal pocket change from him. Both...

I don't care what a mass murderer "described himself as" he's a liar. He's not a white supremacist he's a mass murderer. Everything he says that isn't "I'm a mass murderer" is a distraction, red herring, lie. Don't believe liars.

They're girded up. They've been girded up for this, for quite a while. Now is the time to strike, rhetorically. Whatever your best rhetorical stuff is we're going to need and use it, right now. The iron is hot. We have no control over when the iron is hot, and it is hot right now.

Battle lines drawn.

This part only relevant to non-Catholicism.

'Stuff's beyond the pale. I don't understand how else to fix these problems beyond just voting Republican, honestly. I don't have access to any more precision than that. My most precise tool that I can use against such unethical ideology is my vote. Vote Republican.

"Yale Law Students Call for Ostracizing Conservative Classmates" I left in the Yale part, and I left in the Law part, because these are objectively some of our whole entire world's best educated "Students". Rhetorically I believe it's a mistake for Republicans to ever use the word...

I'm going to add two more things, before I go and lift today. Not feeling very strong, unlikely to do five reps of 310 LBS. I don't even know if If I can do even one. I'm going to give you an example (@Derf & @Right Divider et al): I . . . drink too much, sometimes. Now drunkenness is some...

"Checks out. He was suffering from non-insane automatism at the time." 😐

Who ever said Catholicism's cornered the market on joy? Not me. Not Catholicism either. And Catholicism chooses to believe the whole entire deposit of faith left to us by the Apostles, which includes both the Scripture and their oral tradition. I appreciate your concern; no sarcasm. :e4e:

Two things. One is that we are in complete agreement on the matter of intentionality, deliberation and informed consent when it comes to sins. See below for my answer to light sins committed with informed consent. Grave sins are not always, and frequently are not for Christians, done with...

I'm parroting the Catechism, so no. But Catholicism is still what you would call Jesus's own "churchianity" RD. Being an individual member of His Body the Church, and being a Catholic, are categorically different things, there are people who are both like me, there are people like you who are...

Arthur: curious: is the House of Lords over there like our Supreme Court here? Does it serve as the court of highest appeal basically? And does it have the power of judicial review?

"LOCKDOWN HARDER" of course the ol' No True Lockdown fallacy!

We lose tens of thousands of Americans every year to automobile wrecks. I'm examining the idea that many of them occur because people just don't fundamentally understand inherently dangerous situations, like this poor truck driver didn't understand how dangerous this "suicide coil" was to him...

Interesting hard evidence about the gradual transformation of anonymous internet discussion forums. Many of these tropes have gone extinct! It plays out like it just took some time for everybody to coordinate the internet forum phenomenon with irl people and positions and offices and such...
