@jonharris1989 So ridiculous that people on both sides of this question can't understand that it's not an either or, but a both and. How you harmonize the 2 is where minds should be focused
@IVMiles That is one of the most basic & consequential disjunctions of this debate. Also, whether supernatural theology alters what one thinks they know by nature alone.
@PerfInjust This is also clearly true intra-nationalities, ethnicities, races, or whatever one wants to call it. Which provokes the question for me- how much of these disparities between groups are due to nuture rather than nature? Genuine question, no subversion intended.
@daniel_dsj2110 I'm not sure how many people would doubt this is happening if the ideas under consideration were scientific. Historians have to assign causes for significant changes. Is there any other way to be a historian?
@joe_rigney@AndrewTWalker@RevKevDeYoung@JonathanLeeman Not all political orders are born of or ordered towards the same ends. So the virtues supportive of them will be different, which we'd probably not consider to be virtues at all.
@Protestia He never defined differences he sees between "primal" and original sin. I guess he'd say like Pelagius men aren't born sinners, but become sinners after the first sinful act? And what is a sin for him anyway? He's vague enough to sound cogent to some people I guess.
@MahaffieJa73116@FixingEducation Yet at the same time, friendship should not be confused with association. Mathew 9:10, Luke 19:1, 17:36. Some people think if you're ever seen with a distasteful type of person, you're guilty by association, automatically influenced due to that connection. Not true.
@jonharris1989 Born & raised in NYC, worked there all my life. It's the epitome of an economic zone. The diversity 'problem' is not limited to race, but different cultures of the same color as well. Ever seen the movie Gangs of NY?
Even so, there's a unique people who can call it home.
@GovStitt These all seem fraudulent. They all should say "not for federal i.d. purposes" or something similar somewhere on them if they were actually issued by a State dmv to an illegal.
@ImMeme0 Suffering for the progressive faith. Plenty of toxically empathetic people will resonate with her. Although I think they were right they should immediately arrest children, elderly & the obviously disabled. This is exactly what they want- a picture of supposed cruelty.
@Vicar1973 Although I agree with everything in this post, a difficulty I see is the perception of disrespect where none is intended leading to over-correction and hurt feelings. Flowing from that observation, there's subjective & culture induced elements of disrespect. Communication is key
@ZacharyGarris Shedd was more Augustinian in philosophical approach. I think that makes a difference, not that the former and Thomism are mutually exclusive. It's about a habitat that better supports certain doctrines.
