The standard of christians when their nonsense is refused. Hasn't 'moved there', that has been his MO since he arrived. It's just that he's getting frustrated and it's showing. Jay - Did you ever actually READ the Bible? From some of your statements a few pages back, I kinda doubt it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good thing we're not talking about humans then. You struggle with science and facts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A habit missing from about 40% of the population and for those who question. They go to FOX, Truth Social, FB for confirmation bias reinforcement.

wmw999 2,514 #534 September 2, 2023 I think a lot of people are deeply motivated by safety, and knowing what’s right is safer, even if you have to limit your world view to accommodate that “rightness.” Consider how careful minorities had to be; they had to be perfect, because otherwise, as long as there was one facet in which a good ol’ boy was better, that overshadowed everything else. Thats the same standard by which lots of people measure those they disagree with. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because if one of the 'good ole boys' got his feelings hurt when one of them outshone him, it got ugly. LIke 'dead' ugly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
