@mattBernius @jkimballcook The Wehrmacht is respected generally within the military as an capable fighting force that we should emulate. Not an endorsement of their ideology. I'm a veteran of the Iraq War against ISIS. By the time I turn 80, will have probably soften towards them. 2/2

@mattBernius @jkimballcook In the first three examples that you gave, we already do. We have a statue of Gen. Burgoyne at Saratoga. Attu Peace Memorial, honors both American and Japanese dead in Alaska. HR MacMasters, had a picture of Rommel in his Tank at 73 Easting. 1/2

@ColtonBruc3 I know right! Didn't it anti make the same argument having to retract like a year ago? At least be a Dan Vogel who comes up with new theories instead of just reheating repackaging anti-slop

@SenatorDanforth @jkimballcook I also think it's more likely to happen because let's be honest, even among Southerners the Confederacy has ceased to be a touchstone their identity. Part of that is just distance and time from the events. Heritage Southerners also make a smaller portion of the population.

@jkimballcook A decade ago I would have thought North Carolina would get there first, but it’s pretty clear Georgia’s on the path that Virginia first trod. Not necessarily advocating it, but a sandblaster to Stone Mountain within the next 20 years is a bet I might take…

@Primary_Pianist This data doesn't seem to be correct. Because this would be an outlier because a large population suggests a 20%- 30% disaffiliate rate for the church. With a N= 862 from Cranny 2019. Which is in line with most other churches in the United States.

Why do you think atheism tends to be the natural result?
GoWithTheGospel@GoWithJordan_

New data coming out about how many people have been leaving the LDS church is shocking! Using the decade 2000–2009 as a baseline, the rate of disaffiliation multiplied dramatically in over the next three successive five year periods. Christians we have so many opportunities to get the gospel to these people who are leaving! Most of them become atheists which is upsetting.

@psamarkand @mattyglesias That's a more coherent argument. That makes sense, I was just not aware of the term "life-years". Understanding that term makes the argument more clear. Thank you for the clarification.

@pseudointe27245 @mattyglesias I believe he is alluding to gun deaths disproportionately affecting younger people rather than heat deaths, so many more life years would be lost in the US vs Europe.

@T_M_Mystic @Gazelem3723 Argument from anecdote as if a person experiences are the sum total knowledge about that group. To answer your question, I've only meet one on my mission. They were an old retiree in Florida. (Which makes me an expert by your standard) Now answer the question put to you.

The RLDS were growing rapidly before Utah historians convinced them there was no way Joseph was honest in his testimony and gave them an identity crisis, this was all before the internet and DNA testing... the damage had already been done, though. Poor Emma.
Thoughtful-Faith@ThoughtfulSaint

There were two LDS branches in 1847. One polygamist. The other was not. (RLDS) Guess which one won? God commanded the restoration of plural marriage or a time to raise up a righteous generation to lay the foundation of his work in modern times.

@Gazelem3723 @T_M_Mystic He's not going to because he knows he's full of shit. And no, it wasn't because of our historians. This is because they were sending their leadership to Protestant mainline seminaries. Starting in the '40s and thus they went the same direction that all mainland Protestants went.

@T_M_Mystic They were still denying polygamy well past 1984; Again, you made the claim, now provide the evidence that polygamy was the cause, or does evidence not matter?

@JWhitebread1 @jkimballcook Without sounding too reductionist. A lot of modern flat earthers are applying metaphysics that the ancients didn't have. They lack what Spangler would call the civilizational soul. Of course, they were fervent literally in their beliefs. But they understood them on their terms.

I wrote my dissertation on the flat earth (no seriously). There was a guy in the 6th C. who argued for a flat earth on the basis that it was biblical, and almost no one in the Christian World agreed with him. So it shows at least that there has been flexibility on the literal nature of scripture for some time.

believing in a literal global flood is honestly kind of incoherent when you think about it because why would you take the narrative about the flood as literal but not the narrative of a flat earth?
Jared Cook@jkimballcook

In the narrative world of Genesis it's global (well, let's say total, not global, because the narrative world of Genesis doesn't include a globe to begin with). And the narrative world of Genesis isn't (and likely isn't intended as) a scientific description of geological reality.

@jkimballcook Some epistemic humility is required here. Because a lot of mythological history has turned out to be true. The question usually isn't, is this fabricated? It is how close is the actual account to an event that happened in the past? I could go into a few examples if you like?

@JS_StrngstSldr Many members outside of Utah have a giant chip on their shoulder. That resentment doesn't make sense to me. It's like people having nice things doesn't make your thing less

@JS_StrngstSldr It put me at 50% when it came to women priesthood ordination. Which is wrong. I said maybe in a Millennium/ Exalted Earth or to fulfill certain roles in the temple. But no chance outside of those edge cases. That's not 50%. That's 10% and that's being generous.
