I don't have a hard time believing that there were that many people who didn't bother to educate themselves about down-ballot issues. I suspect there would be as many if nor more that voted only for Trump and ignored other races.Randy from Boise wrote: ↑Sun Nov 08, 2020 9:20 pmNice to see The Great Philosopher is adapting to reality like a mature, rational adult.

I can't think of many organizations that are less progressive than the Boy Scouts. They have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th Century, but progressive they ain't. And this is sexual abuse of young boys that goes back decades and decades. Sanger seems to prefer ranting about imaginary celebrity pedophile rings than accepting the very real horrors that the Boy Scouts of America ignored and abetted.Poor, poor Boy Scouts. They were a great org for learning manly skills and making loyal friends who could take care of themselves but were happy to help, too. Destroyed from within by a deadly combo of progressive politics and—no surprise—now child abuse.
Like the Catholic Church, it's highly variable how progressive or not your troop or parish is. But while it might be giving Sanger too much credit, I don't think he's downplaying the sex abuse stuff, just saying (as I agree) that it's a shame an organization that does a lot of good (like with the Church, I might not agree with a lot of it but I do credit it for being a positive force in my life) is getting wrecked by their self-inflicted failure to deal with a serious problem.*Giraffe Stapler wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 4:44 amLarry Sanger has posted a link to a news story about the nearly 90,000 people currently accusing the Boy Scouts of past sexual abuse.

Larry Sanger says he is agnostic. Believes in literal angels and demons, but agnostic.

I suppose that Larry takes it for granted that if you're a real Christian you're a hardline Baptist Trump supporter. He regards for example the many Catholics who object to some of Trump's social policies and therefore vote Democrat as not really true believers.
I suspect he thinks the Baptists are cannibalistic baby-killing sellouts. I'm calling Pentecostal or some wacky far right Catholic cult. #AmyConeyBarrettPoetlister wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 11:57 amI suppose that Larry takes it for granted that if you're a real Christian you're a hardline Baptist Trump supporter.

I'm very interested in that first tweet.
If a non-evil scientist went back to before you were conceived and prevented your conception, would she be guilty of murder (in addition to her other crimes which are not specified but include cock-blocking your parents)? This guy has an actual Doctorate in philosophy? From a school?If an evil scientist went back to when you were a three-week-old embryo in your mother’s womb, and performed an abortion on her, would he be guilty of murder (in addition to his other crimes)?

Perhaps due to the build-up of amyloid plaque, he's mis-remembering Paley's 1802 teleological theodicy as somehow related to Dawkins' 1986 book?

I've often wondered what people think the dimensions of microchips are, compared to a tube through a needle. Anyway, why should Bill Gates or whoever bother with using vaccines when microchips can be teleported into people's bodies when they come near 5G masts?

Larry tried to sell him as antifa32-year-old Jake Angeli, a familiar face at pro-Trump rallies and a purported QAnon conspiracy theorist sometimes referred to as the “QAnon Shaman,”
This thread is already publicly visible, actually. What we have to do now is think like a casual reader who's just heard that one of the co-founders of Wikipedia may be a QAnon-supporting weirdo seditionist. They'll never find this thread by typing in just "larry sanger," there's just too much conventional media coverage out there — but "larry sanger qanon" has us at #5, just below Reddit, and I think we can probably do even better. (We're #1 for "larry sanger shark," at least.)
No, you win. Sanger criticized Rep. Emanuel Cleaver on Jan. 3 for saying "amen and a-woman" at the end of the opening prayer.
I was about to post that.

Which word is libelous, "cultist"? I guess we could change it to "enthusiast," but he's a public figure and he's definitely into that stuff.
