General posts that are not about any topic in particular.
Every so often I see a comment that is egregiously bad. But this time it isn’t just one comment, it is same one twice, both here and at Sigma Frame: I’ve seen some bad takes over the years, but this one is among the very worst. Let’s start by getting …
A recent commenter suggested that my posts have missed the mark, that they are not addressing the problems that real men are really facing in reality. And I agreed. Over the last few days I’ve repeated a single theme: Keep in mind that a couple months back, Bruce Charlton stated …
I’m not sure how long it will take until I resume my series, but in the meantime, I wanted to include a relevant comment that was posted after I published yesterday’s post, “Genesis 3:16 Revisited.” First, Jack has not responded to any of Pseudonymous Commenter Firefly’s arguments.
