If the take home essay is dead (which I would dispute) does the same apply to sermons?

@MichelleLA1981 @tribez1976 This may also be of interest if you are not aware of the history.

@cmkc227 @MichelleLA1981 Wow, either not willing to read or not capable of reading an article about the very phenomenon you posted a video of.

Why are you lying in public? Have you no morals? No fear of God? What is wrong with you?!

[James F. McGrath @ReligionProf]

@MicahBeckwith Can you tell us please what you think Marxism is and what you understand Islam to be and how you think the two are connected? It is a very weird pairing giving the history of countries like Egypt, don’t you think?

@cmkc227 @MichelleLA1981 Here you go, zero Faucis involved, first documented in mice.

What do you think this proves? Why don’t you care about truth? Do you honestly not care what the Bible warns to liars?!

[James F. McGrath @ReligionProf]

@ProphetesGranyQ @FreqRevolution @DavidJHarrisJr So life begins before conception according to this, right?

[James F. McGrath @ReligionProf]

@LouAZMerrijul @DavidJHarrisJr So identical twins have one soul that they share?

[James F. McGrath @ReligionProf]

@Davidc2722 @DavidJHarrisJr So identical twins have one soul?

[James F. McGrath @ReligionProf]

@tribez1976 @MichelleLA1981 They don’t even discuss the fact that identical twins result from a single conception. Do identical twins share a soul and a single life according to this person? Or are they just spouting slogans for political purposes with no interest in reality?

[James F. McGrath @ReligionProf]

@cmkc227 @MichelleLA1981 Fact check what the video claims, please.

@MockClay And as you may have gathered I’m trying to figure out the appropriate balance. Skepticism is needed, but some of us who started out with a naive and uncritical acceptance of everything often overcompensate by being more skeptical than we would be of any similar source.

[Butler Blue V @TheButlerBlue]

Hi! I'm Butler Blue V. I'm so excited to be your next Butler Bulldog!

[James F. McGrath @ReligionProf]

Welcome, Blue V!
