Even if Mother Jones wasn't a biased publication, they could have no idea the CIA, FBI, or NSA-- not the Steele dossier--didn't actually kick the whol...

No, nobody knows the accusations originated from the Steele dossier (which is Christopher Steele' claims, not evidence in itself), especially since th...

You're wrong. Prothero also erroneously thinks of physiological states, such as gender, as psychological states.
August 16, 2017 at 11:10
Of course it's a physiological state; it's deeply tied to one's body and physical brain. I never limited it to this once. No, there is no controversy....
August 16, 2017 at 11:08
Few do anymore...:)
August 16, 2017 at 06:11
No, since few culturally pressured into being Straight. But Straight, Gay, and bisexual are all sexualities that can be left for another, and some can...
August 16, 2017 at 06:05
I actually don't believe the Russian conspiracy theory and think it comes from Hillarys camps inability to accept they lost because of a bad candidate...
August 16, 2017 at 05:58
Sorry, then if Gay and Straight aren't psychological states, then there's no way gender can be, since all of those can change. And stop with the ad ho...
August 16, 2017 at 05:40
I appreciate that, Creative. I actually enjoy our engagements as well, and appreciate your passion.
August 16, 2017 at 05:27
Excellent way to show you have no counter, Hillary's finger puppet.
August 16, 2017 at 05:21
Of course you do, since you're so amazingly biased in all this, nobody has a reason to believe you without one. Thanks for showing you were being mend...
August 16, 2017 at 05:15
The only one is making it difficult is you. Do you or do you not think being Gay or being Straight is a psychological State. A simple yes or no questi...
August 16, 2017 at 04:57
And that's the last post of yours I read, Mr. Argumentative.
August 16, 2017 at 04:54
And I was talking about all people, not just you, and that was what you addressed. Don't let your pride and obtuseness keep you from seeing that.
August 16, 2017 at 04:54
I don't have to expound or elaborate on anything. Do you think being Gay or Straight is a psychological state?
August 16, 2017 at 04:51
Go away. I don't talk to people who don't debate/discuss in good faith.
August 16, 2017 at 04:51
Don't lie. Above you are clearly criticizing my claim that if gender is a psychological state, being Gay and Straight are, too....and not just you. Be...
August 16, 2017 at 04:49
But we weren't just talking about you personally, so you were wrong to correct me.
August 16, 2017 at 04:45
Then you must think your being Straight or Gay is a psychological state, since that could change over time, too. So, you are misusing the term "psycho...
August 16, 2017 at 04:44
Of course it can change. Many Gay people thought they were Straight for a long time and even married and had children before they realized they were G...
August 16, 2017 at 04:43
You've just shown you read my posts poorly, so what you find is irrelevant and doesnt' matter to me.
August 16, 2017 at 04:41
I never said either of those things and you haven't shown I have. Try to stop straw-manning me and read my posts better.
August 16, 2017 at 04:41
Gender isn't a psychological "state.' it's an identity of each person they have 24/7 unless it changes. That's like saying being Gay or Straight are p...
August 16, 2017 at 04:34
Loosely, sex refers to the person's biological sex organs and gender refers to how the person sexually identifies themselves.
August 16, 2017 at 04:32
I would say general definitions include the possibility of omnipotence, but it's clearly not a requirement.
August 16, 2017 at 04:31
First of all, you need to provide a link proving Manafort "signed a contract in which he promised to make the world match words clearly expressed with...
August 16, 2017 at 04:18
Easy....have all other beings be less powerful; it's purely comparative.
August 16, 2017 at 03:52
The Godhead, Christ, and the Holy Spirit all share their omnipotence in their trinity, although that even befuddled Aquinas. Allah and Yahweh are omni...
August 16, 2017 at 01:12
No, it's not dogmatic; its just a specific theistic belief. Polytheism can be dogmatic, and you're making it such by attacking my monotheistic argumen...
August 16, 2017 at 00:04
And we weren't even discussing how one should lead their life. So, that was irrelevant.
August 15, 2017 at 23:00
Nothing I said was dogmatism; it was rationality. So, stop erroneously attacking my argument when you didn't even address it in that post.
August 15, 2017 at 22:58
And Christ, who is all things you mentioned, is an omniscient God.
August 15, 2017 at 21:53
But I showed those problems weren't severe and a lesser God isn't God anymore
August 15, 2017 at 21:51
Firstly, the omniscient being/God isn't a common religious concept outside of the Abrahamic religions. Secondly, it's a very useful religious concept ...
August 15, 2017 at 21:37
OK.
August 15, 2017 at 19:27
No, if O exists there is no actual possibility for U to exist; it would only exist for our incomplete knowledge.
August 15, 2017 at 19:23
What do you mean by this?

No ,that's You since you just came in to troll me. You're ignored for the thread.
August 15, 2017 at 13:57
How old are you?
August 15, 2017 at 13:29
Only if I can ask the same of you first.
August 15, 2017 at 13:19
There is no evidence of soul in everyday life; some people make the same claim of God or angels. You don't know this, and the soul is as supernatural ...
August 15, 2017 at 13:16
There's no evidence backing that, but if it were true, It could also be the location of Angels, God, or demons.

This isn't a "hypothetical" at all. Agustino is now resorting to lying about his sexist post

This guy really can't stop digging his sexist hole. Unbelievable.

Says someone who is sitting behind a screen and hypocritically judging me. How lame. Goodbye, Beebee

Whatever. I completely understand why I want to ignore you. And I'm starting now.

This is a standard defense rapists and sexual assailants use to justify rape or assault of those who havent given verbal consent. Unbelievable.

Why are you asking these confrontational questions? Do you have sexist views you feel are being threatened?
August 15, 2017 at 11:15

When you start an engagement with that hostile tone, it's clear the only bitter one is you.

And here again, Agustino blames the woman's desire and says it is enough to merit unsolicited groping.
