Why Mormonism may be true.. a take from a pragmatist
English
@linqsikks @FoxNews You know the type of bullet being used is a major factor in this right?
English
Defense attorneys for accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson argue a firearms analysis raises doubts about the alleged murder weapon and could be exculpatory — but experts say the claim doesn’t hold up.
Although an ATF analysis couldn’t match the bullet to the rifle allegedly tied to Robinson, sources tell FOX News that when the bullet struck Kirk’s body, it hit bone and broke on impact, making it impossible to do ballistics analysis on it. Furthermore, testing did positively confirm that the spent shell casing found at the scene matched the suspected murder weapon.
"Unable to identify is not the same as ruled out," says retired FBI supervisor agent Jason Pack. "That’s a finding of inconclusiveness, not exoneration."

@KassanoraL @Contracteurg @elonmusk The agreement says services will be offered in both languages, not that the CRO will be fluent in both. And your critique of the CEO seems specifically that he doesn't speak French, not that he's a bad CEO.
English
@ConfusedMathem1 @Contracteurg @elonmusk Sure but…it’s an agreement. A contract. This CEO was 12 million a year, lives in Montreal - was chastised 5 years ago for the same thing (where he promised to do better) and he still couldn’t read a statement in French? Entitled loser. Should have been fired long ago.
English
.@elonmusk does not know that there is a place named Québec that has struggled for 400 years to keep its language alive while the Anglos tried to erase it.
Vive le Québec libre
English
@KassanoraL @Contracteurg @elonmusk Sure, but honestly this is part of the problem. French speaking Canadians are using the force of the government to do something that it shouldn't- prop up the language. Every other language spoken in Canada has to maintain its viability naturally.
English
@ConfusedMathem1 @Contracteurg @elonmusk It was one of the agreements made when Air Canada went private.
English
@lafleurmtl Your first sentence is in fact the problem. It's utterly ridiculous that the Air Canada CEO should be required to speak French.
English
He was required by law to know some French
He did not
It was accepted
Then a French pilot died
And he couldn't be bothered to offer condolences in French
Not a word
People were outraged
Then the board " retired " him
Hope your keen legal mind can wrap itself around this
Kathryn Marshall@Lawsome_
Absolutely absurd. Bullied out of a job because he couldn't comfortably express himself in French.

@tomselliott @misfitpatriot_ Fair enough, I've just seen a lot of conspiracy people taking this filing as evidence of their conspiracy (Candace et al- and the replies to your post are full of them). If I incorrectly lumped you in I apologize.
English
@ConfusedMathem1 @misfitpatriot_ Why are you writing this to me? I have alleged no conspiracy.
English
I guess we’re still doing this…
Is it October of last year, again? Because I’m debunking the same retarded Charlie Kirk conspiracy theory, again…
Someone get my spray bottle.
English
@tomselliott @misfitpatriot_ I find it hilarious that the people alleging insane conspiracies about Charlie's murder are now demanding evidence.
English
@misfitpatriot_ Respectfully, where have you heard the bullet was a soft tip? Would appreciate being able to see that myself.
English
@neiltyson Reminder: NDT has stated that men can become women

The good thing about Science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.

@ConfusedMathem1 @joshnaa2gez @dailywireplus @RealMattFradd @benshapiro @michaeljknowles Okay so the person is Matt, and the way we know he doesn't like us is what exactly?
English
@dailywireplus does not hate Mormons.
@RealMattFradd hates Mormons.
You have to understand that Daily Wire gives its hosts a lot of latitude to say what they want, to an extent.
@benshapiro, @michaeljknowles and other hosts have pretty consistently shown respect and friendliness towards the Latter-day Saints.
And, Mr. Fradd… I dare you to actually have on some LDS voices like @ThoughtfulSaint… I know these debates haven’t been going well for you guys and you’re probably still licking your wounds.
But if you’re going to talk ABOUT us, maybe you should have the decency to actually talk TO us. 🤷♂️
English
@LukeFHan @joshnaa2gez @dailywireplus @RealMattFradd @benshapiro @michaeljknowles Did you listen to that podcast? We could have a semantic debate about whether Matt "hates" us but at the very least he doesn't like us very much.
English
@ConfusedMathem1 @joshnaa2gez @dailywireplus @RealMattFradd @benshapiro @michaeljknowles Who, specifically, hates Mormons? And how, specifically, do we know they do?
English
@TStudite826 @FrogTroubadour @SocialNomadRach No, the Bible does not "heavily intimate" that Jesus had no siblings. You've got 1 verse where Jesus asks His beloved disciple to look after His mother. Not exactly definitive.
English
@ConfusedMathem1 @FrogTroubadour @SocialNomadRach There’s nothing ironic about it.
The Bible literally does not state the position or presence of Jesus’ other brethren.
While the Bible heavily intimates by both titles and Jewish customs that Jesus had no siblings by way of Mary.
Both positions supported by the Fathers too.
English
I notice that the anti Catholic behaviour really ramps up during important feast days. Fine. Tell me then why St. John had to take Mother Mary to his home if Jesus had full blooded siblings.
Wilfred Reilly@wil_da_beast630
The idea that a non-monastic Roman citizen just opted to never have sex with his pretty wife for 40 years, and all the people who are explicitly called Jesus' brothers were his distant cousins, is a fascinating example of dogma - a thing believed because one is supposed to believe it.
English
@TStudite826 @FrogTroubadour @SocialNomadRach I'm sorry but trying to argue that the Bible isn't clear on the topic while simultaneously arguing that Mary remained a virgin is absolute peak irony.
English
@FrogTroubadour @SocialNomadRach 1) That is a presumption, the text doesn’t state if they are there or not.
2) Even if true, this would not justify violating Jewish custom and legal rights of Jesus’ “full blooded” siblings by way of their mother.
English
@HeathMayo Can we wait until we see some positive results before we go too far praising Carney? Because right now things in Canada aren't going so well.
English
Democrats: Please take lessons from Mark Carney. The guy is ice-cold competent and a qualified leader who champions capitalism, trade, and strong alliances and isn’t crusading to use politics to change or shame people’s social mores.
Result—Global leadership, domestic approval.
Cult MTL@cultmtl
Approval of Mark Carney increases to 68% cultmtl.com/2026/03/mark-c…

@pegobry_en I'm not a Sola Scriptura believer myself but the belief that Mary remained a virgin seems unlikely and completely unsupported by scripture. Do you have any basis for it beyond just "people smarter and holier" than me believed it.
English
The great thing about Sola Scriptura is that every day’s a new day!
Did Mary have other children? "Of course" XYZ. Did generations of men smarter and holier than me think different? Doesn’t matter! I read the thing and I have an OPINION
What a wonderful basis for a religion
Lyman Stone 石來民 🦬🦬🦬@lymanstoneky
It’s a very fun troll Of course the truth is Mary did have other children, and also that Paul was a married man. Some traditions really are incorrect, even if pious
English
@TheCatholicEngr @TheGreatSpingus What's your source for this claim? I suppose it's possible but it seems like you're stretching Biblical interpretation pretty far for the sole purpose of maintaining a doctrine that's not in the scriptures.
English
@TheGreatSpingus Where in the scriptures does it negate Mary's perpetual virginity? If you're referring to the use of the word "brothers", those are Jesus' cousins
English
@michaeljknowles How about "C: the Scriptural view"?
English
When it comes to the perpetual virginity of Mary, do you agree with the Catholic view or with the view of Protestant reformers Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Wesley?
English
@MichaelTalbot87 @sola_chad @michaeljknowles They may not have believed in his divinity but "aren't his sisters right over there" would seem like a silly thing to make up.
English
@sola_chad @michaeljknowles You did not quote to the end of the verse “and they took offense at him” you are quoting the unbelieving men from the synagogue, probably not the best people to emulate
