The term Revoice for Nazis keeps coming to mind. I don’t think Eric, @Brian_Sauve or @JoelWebbon are Nazis but they are creating space for Nazis to exist within their camp. If only someone would have warned them about this trajectory. But NETTR🤦‍♂️. I did Nazi that coming.

Upgrade.

Can someone please explain it to me like I'm five, why members of Congress are more upset that Elon became a trillionaire than they are that Somalis have defrauded our government out of hundreds of billions of dollars?

I don’t care that someone is wealthier than I am. I do care that my wealth is being stolen through taxation and inflation.

When I give my savings to @elonmusk they multiply. When I give them to you and all of the US government, they disappear.

I know how Elon Musk became a trillionaire, but I don't know how Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Nancy Pelosi became millionaires.

386 days after Elon’s decline and fall… He’s the World’s first trillionaire. The Media truly does suck.

How DARE Thomas Edison get rich by inventing the light bulb, the phonograph, the motion picture, alkaline storage batteries and large scale electrical grids!!!! The nerve of that guy. No one should have that kind of wealth.

Don’t worry about Elon becoming rich with his own money. Worry about politicians becoming rich with your money.

C.S. Lewis breaches this topic throughout his Space Trilogy, his final conclusion to the questions raised being, "You should beat anyone who talks like this to death with your bare hands."

@DavidSchrock. Inserra accused him of misrepresenting the presidential candidates when he created a chart of their responses to interview interviews, he conducted with each of them. Inserra called it“propaganda,” suggesting that David was being deliberately deceitful. AI tests showed that they summarized the candidates responses exactly as David did, and in fact, he was even more fair to the candidate who is less interested in conservative reforms. Yet Inserra has not apologized, though he has been called on to do so by many many people.

Mormons believe in Jesus. @BasedMikeLee is correct in that. But so do Muslims. So do Buddhists. The problem is that they do not believe in the right Jesus. They do not believe in the Jesus of the Bible: the Jesus Who is God the Son, co-eternal, uncreated, Who took upon Himself a human nature in the incarnation and Who has been ever since, is now, and will forever be the one and only God-Man.

“What do you mean, it’s not butter? It looks and tastes very similar to butter, and the word ‘butter’ is literally in its name!”

Coming from the Senator from Virginia that thinks the founders were dangerous theocrats because they mentioned God in the Declaration of Independence.

The Creed doesn’t claim to be new revelation but a summary of that which is revealed in the Scriptures. And thus, it’s of a fundamentally different nature than the BoM.

Also, unless your definition of “for a long time” means “about 20 years,” this is another example of the straight up lying thing. No, you did not. For most of your history, you have explicitly eschewed the label “Christian” and were quite open about how all other churches were abominations. It’s is a very recent switch in Mormon culture to cozy up to the terms and apply it to themselves in order to be seen as more acceptable to Christians. You have not in the slightest bit “proudly self-identified as Christian” for a long time. You are lying when you say that. You are intentionally misleading people with false information in order to make them think you are something other than what you are. If Mormons don’t like the “liar” accusation, they should stop lying.

Was hoping to have slow Saturday before a big week, but instead an unfounded X post by @deaninserra reminded me why @Christ_OverAll spent a whole month asking the question: Can the Center Hold?

"I'm a polytheist who believes God was once a man, that He's married to a female goddess and they live on a planet called Kolob, that Jesus and Satan are brothers, that there's a potentially infinite number of gods and I'll one day become the god of my own planet populated with my celestial space babies, I deny every single essential Christian doctrine, and reject every historic Christian creed. Now explain to me why I'm not a Christian right this second."

I know philosophers who dine out their whole career in exposition of the brilliant Hannah Arendt. When COVID-19 hit, every single one kept his mouth shut.
