There are none so deaf as those who will not hear.

Not just "Republican common sense". "Black common sense" and Latino common sense" too.

Not really. I think that theological doctors, such as Martin Luther King Jr, had a better understanding of the text of the Bible than most atheists. Now there was someone who could see the forest for the trees. Those who have ears, hear; those who have eyes, see; and for the rest, well a little...

The most recent poll indicates otherwise.

It is like the parents of the 2000 people referring their children to the specialists are in effect throwing acid into the eyes of their own babies. It is child abuse to mess around with your kids like that.

The Mark Foley scandal was a major contributor to the Republicans losing control of Congress back in 2006 or so. Character still very much mattered to the Republican voter back then. They did not tolerate their family values Republicans acting like a bunch of Democrats. For Democratic voters...

Maybe the higher intelligence of Jews is due to evolution. The constant environment of genocidal persecution had the effect of naturally selecting those with the enough intelligence to survive such severe circumstances. Some people have mused that compared to Catholic Europe where the highest...

Are Republicans with four years of education going to a better type of school, or is it just a matter of conservatives having more common sense?

If your audience is little children who might have nightmares, courteous. Otherwise, just patronizing.

Slavery or Indentured Servitude (Exodus 21:1-11) - Theology of Work

I have already given a response to that kind of objection. If you are really interested in engaging me, it is time for you to read some of the posts I have placed here.

There are Christians who believe in the flat earth, and that the moon is the source of its own light, and any number of things. It doesn't mean that the problem of slavery has not already been solved, in the nineteenth century, by Christians reading their Bible seriously.

My argument was never that the issue being settled excuses or in any way erases the past. My argument has always been that the issue has been settled, in the nineteenth century, by Christians taking their Bibles seriously I have also made the argument that the bible is a very complex book, and...

No, it was not like that for the Hebrew. Jubilee year, for example, entailed setting slaves free. There is a lot more to it than the word "slave" as understood in the modern context would imply. In Egypt though, people were born into slavery and died in it, according to the 500 year enslavement...

It has already been mentioned ad nauseum. What is forgotten is that it is Christians reading the Bible that kicked the butt of slavery. And God kicking Pharaohs butt is a pretty clear idea of what God thinks of oppression, for those who have ears to hear. Few hear that though.

Those who insist that he is alt.right go on my ignore list. It is useless having honest discussions with this kind of person. Related to this, few or no post-modernists take Peterson up on his offer for a debate. When truth is seen as nothing more than narrative, and narrative is power, it is...

Jordan Peterson does not strike me being far right at all. For example, he states that abortion is wrong, but goes on to say that just because something is wrong does not mean that it ought to be illegal. He notes the real differences of weight between the effect that pregnancy has on women vs...

Go to his you tube website if you want more depth on what he is talking about when he talks about post-modernism.

That would have been a huge disappointment to me to end up in a class like that. Sign up for history and end up with propaganda.

No. Jordan Peterson quotes Shakespeare and Milton regularly in his lectures.
