@jayphoward@DavidBahnsen@douglaswils (2)… and if that worship is not directed toward a transcendent God, it will be directed elsewhere: the State, $, entertainment, sex, all of the above, etc etc. As Chesterton put it, everybody worships and prioritizes when they do so.
@jayphoward@DavidBahnsen@douglaswils (1) That’s the assertion in the piece I figured someone would bring up. I would guess that you’re probably not a believer, for from belief in the God of the Bible flows the understanding that we are created to worship…
@SarahAnnRhoades@DavidBahnsen Yeah no thanks. I hate this decision too and David is way wrong here but the day we sink to the level that progressives operate at is the day we just turn out the lights on the country.
@DavidBahnsen I have a lot of respect for you @DavidBahnsen but that is a truly bonkers statement. The idea that there isn’t a principled, textualist and originalist argument against this decision is simply lazy thinking and you’re better than that.
@mcuban@DavidBahnsen Yes, that’s what “presupposing” means. You didn’t explicitly say it but your argument is founded on it. @DavidBahnsen is using novel and more articulate language for what some call “straw man”. Straw men are always easier to argue against.
@GlobeTechLab@christopherrufo Well I’m completely unworried by a news organization with a heavily biased ideological orientation to the right or left, that taxpayers are compelled to fund, falling into crisis and shriveling away. It’s a victory, take it.
@BarackObama Says the guy who lost more 9-0 decisions in front of SCOTUS (when it was even more split than it is today) than any other president in modern history on issues as wide ranging as freedom of speech, religion and property rights.
@KyleBJorrey This is just playing games with words. Verbal virtuosity. Double speak. She should call it what it is, suicide, and try to make that argument stick. Doesn’t sound like she thinks she can.
@spomboy@DavidBCollum You do know that OBDC II is less than 1% of OWL’s book & that loans across their entire book to software companies are a minimum of 30% LTV & AVERAGE (!) $300 million ebitda? Everybody flatters themselves that they’ve found the next Lehman. Only a hammer available, so many nails.
@YossiBenYakar@BillAckman The sad thing is this wasn’t a case where one needed the passage of a decade to see how foolish it was. It was apparent on the day the policy was announced.
