It's Old Covenant, aka Old Testament, aka "the Law," aka the Law of Moses, aka the Torah, etc. I don't think it's really written to anyone but the people who were a party to that covenant.

I just don't agree with that interpretation. Violating God given rights is immoral. "The sword" should punish rights violators.

Something else. I just watch my macros, I eat starches for fuel (I'm not low carb), I supplement or eat extra protein when I feel sore, and limit fat and sugar and salt. Try to get more fiber from whole grain, eat a fair amount of whole foods I guess. Eat greens every day. Stuff like this...

Basically 100% yes.

You don't believe me? It's true.

290 LBS 5 5 4 (at least 1 'rir' (pronounced R-IN-R)) Stronger this week. Banana. Plan next week: 300 LBS. PROTEIN In all things moderation . . . except on lifting day. On lifting day I try to eat extra protein all day from just before lifting til I go to bed at night. Protein should be...

If A then B. Therefore A. Begging the question. It's like a bald assertion with extra steps. It's the single most difficult fallacy to detect as far as I'm concerned. It's very sneaky.

"'Vocal?' How 'vocal'? Can they sing?"

What media? And what were they exaggerating? The reliable news media, WSJ, NYT, FT, AP and Reuters were reporting Russia invaded Ukraine. There was and is no exaggeration in Russia belligerently invading Ukraine. That, happened. That, is still happening. There isn't any exaggeration here...

We're not lifting a finger now. We can't attack China for the same reason. We're expressing moral outrage. That's all we can do right now, militarily. And as for all the other corrupt and evil regimes right now, we can't afford it. It would be irresponsible, because we'd go broke. Just...

In my conception God is love, it's not just that love exists because God exists, like with logic. Love exists because God exists because God is love, these are all denoting the same thing. But time would have to limit God like how logic limits Him, which is, really, not at all. iow you can't...

What I mean is, Can you make a logical argument that using logical argumention is valuable, without begging the question? 'Modus ponens' for example is a syllogism. Can you use a syllogism, to prove that using syllogisms, is valuable without begging the question that using syllogisms is...

Also every Democratic senator. The whole Democratic party.

In Catholicism any evocation encouraging or effecting emission with the informed consent and with the conscience is illicit. Cf. post 32. OP in the thread says life's great because of voluntary emissions, except that, as he says in his posts, his life's actually a trainwreck. I'm not saying...

That is good news. Some of those blurbs could have come right from American founding documents.

All the while arguing that their position is ethically neutral! It is NOT.

That's awful Marke.

It's barbaric. We're not concerned because we're Americans, we're concerned because we're moral. We're Americans because we're moral, and this is morally outrageous, and wicked. We would like to do something more directly but the Russians 'have us over a barrel' because of their...

The whole "right-left" thing is fraught. As far as I'm concerned right means minimal, "night watchman" style government, and left means lots of government services like schools, healthcare, curbside trash pick-up, etc. Sometimes people just mean Democrat and Republican by left and right...

We've done what we can, which is to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who are 'in a nutshell' "originalists". Also I believe six of the nine justices are Catholic, fwiw. We're all waiting to see what they can come up with. There's no way this isn't just murder.
