—“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes”—
A lot of people on the right have a hard time letting go of classical liberalism and its tolerance for lying and parasitism. It’s already illegal for me to lie in the marketing of my business. Why shouldn’t politicians and public figures be held to the same standard???

—“The abortion topic is a paradox and a false equivalency for example. Too complex to boil down to a yes or no.”–Wade Rogers
mmm… I just say it’s undecidable, not because it is complex, but because the only moral thing to be done is not commit the crime of fertility in the first place, creating the undecidable moral hazard. We don’t do the right thing because we don’t want to. But the right thing is to punish the mother. It cannot happen without her conspiracy. So that is the violation of natural law – period. But since we wont enforce it we convince our selves that abortion is complicated. No, all lies create complication. The truth is simple. Edit

Nov 1, 2019, 12:58 PM I do not know what you believe. I cannot know. I can only determine judge you by your actions. If you testify to an un-testifiable belief, then you can only lie. If you lie then you have a reason to lie. I can only seek to discover the reason you lie. I cannot distinguish a profession of belief in an un-testifiable lie, from any other lie. Belief is irrelevant. Either you imitate thew works of jesus or you are just another liar, fraud, and thief. Keep a diary of the actions you make in the service of others for no other reason than the love of others, and the cost to you for having done so. If it is not an action, is not in the services of others, is not in the service of other by your personal service to them, then you are a liar and a liar, fraud, and thief, and your claims of Christianity are no different from wearing the uniform of those who did service, when you have not done so, a pretending to equal their honor. No. You are just a free-rider. A parasite on other’s labors. A free rider on those few christians who exist, just as a free rider on those few warriors that exist. A christian ACTS. Profession of belief, and belief are irrelevant.

—“Mistake(mistaken) vs. Error (err). Whats your distinction?”—Richard Hall
ERROR: Errors in the construction of arguments that lead to erroneous conclusions (logic, operations) -vs- MISTAKE: Mistakes in articulation that do not lead to erroneous conclusions (explanation, example) I mean, I produce a lot of content, almost every day. So I make mistakes all the time. I make typos all the time, poor word choice, vocabulary mistakes, phrasing, or sentence structure, misquote, mis-remember, all sorts of things, and I tend to write in language that eliminates ‘optional’ words, and omg the list is endless. Those are mistakes. Errors would be the production of an argument that produced an irreciprocal or false conclusion.
