- Publios: Do you support Trump?
- Publios
- EonEcho: lol, aren't there other more interesting things you could ask me about?
- 12:29 Publios
- I'm generally...nowadays...
- Publios
- what's a good word here
- EonEcho
- It's a critically important moral and epistemic question of our era.
- 12:30 Publios
- I don't support Trump nor am I against him
- EonEcho
- Like, "Do you support slavery?" in 1853.
- Publios
- nonsense
- EonEcho
- Or, "Are Jews people?" in 1936.
- Publios
- Trump is, at best, a reflection of another set of issues
- Publios
- not the issue
- EonEcho
- As with so many phenomena, he is both cause and effect.
- EonEcho
- To say he is only effect is surely false.
- Publios
- sure
- EonEcho
- Publios: So, you are not against Trump?

- He is one of the most pathological, anti-Christ figures we've had in Western culture in a long time.

- Publios
- that he might support or say, etc
- Publios
- um
- Publios
- compared to Putin he's a kitten
- EonEcho
- In Christian cosmology, he's essentially a demon.
- EonEcho
- He is less capable than Putin, with similarly pathological goals.

- EonEcho
- One cannot be a follower of Christ and not reject Trumpism.
- Publios
- EonEcho: no offense but you don't know Christ
- EonEcho
- It's as if one say, I support Christ, but I am not against demons working for Lucifer.
- Publios
- it requires faith to know Him
- EonEcho
- In your system, sure.
- Publios
- Christ isn't known via a system
- Publios
- he's a being to be known
- EonEcho
- False.
- EonEcho
- But, let's not drift.
- Publios shrugs
- Publios
- I'm not interested in the Trump conversation either
- Publios
- sorry
- EonEcho
- It is not possible to be for Christ while not hating the things Trump does.
- Publios
- I'm just gonna resume reading or ask icequeen81 about her fire
- Publios
- icequeen81: no pics came thru
- EonEcho
- Publios: Do you recall icequeen81's comments on Russian interference in the USA?
- EonEcho
- Publios: Do you desire to be a good ambassador for Christ?
- EonEcho

- EonEcho
- icequeen81: Are you aware Rand Paul and Ron Paul are Russian agents?

- No I don't think so.

- EonEcho
- If they were, how would you feel about that?
- EonEcho
- icequeen81
- EonEcho
- you gotta be careful not to listen to too many conspiracy theorists, they will rot your brain
- EonEcho
- icequeen81
- EonEcho
- i wouldnt care
- EonEcho
- icequeen81 "wouldnt [sic] care" if powerful representatives of American were actually agents of Russian autocracy, mafiaism, and corruption.
- Publios
- is that a problem?
- Publios
- I mean on a general level that would be a bad thing
- EonEcho
- Publios: You didn't answer my question on being a good ambassador for Christ.
- EonEcho
- This should be about the most important thing to you.
- Publios
- EonEcho: I didn't because I am not interested in the discussion about Trump
- Publios
- not at the moment
- EonEcho
- I ask you to recall Paul's various letters to early Christian communities on how to gain standing with non-Christians.
- deusexb has left IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
- deusexb has joined ([email protected])
- EonEcho
- You'll recall that Paul worried deeply about early Christians being high-integrity, non-hypocritical people so that others would develop a positive disposition towards Christianity.
- IL_Shaman has changed mode: +v deusexb
- EonEcho
- No, you can't just talk about Christ to be a good ambassador for Christ.
- EonEcho
- According to the New Testament.
- EonEcho
- You need to involve yourself in the issues of the era and demonstrate good values.
- EonEcho
- Then, people will come to feel you're a good person.
- Publios
- icequeen81: looks like it is either mostly done or just burning small but steady
- EonEcho
- And if you're a good person, then perhaps your teacher is also of high quality.
- EonEcho
- Publios: You seem extremely uninterested in discussing Christ and his teachings with me.
- EonEcho
- This doesn't seem a way to be a good ambassador for Christ -- having the non-Christian remind the Christian of Christian teachings.
- icequeen81 has left IRC (Ping timeout)
- EonEcho
- A majority of American Christians support Donald Trump.
- EonEcho
- American Christianity is rotten to its core, as evidence by that fact.
- Pazooza has left IRC (Quit: Leaving- Bacon is spam you signed up for.)
- EonEcho
- That's the age in which you live.
- EonEcho
- You do not get too choose to say, "That's not me."
- EonEcho
- Christianity is one family -- that's how many non-Christians perceive it.
- EonEcho
- You need to take accountability for what your family is doing and demonstrate that not all Christianity is like that.
- Publios
- lol
- Sara_Ks
- EonEcho Ron Paul is a Russian agent?
- EonEcho
- You can do that by rejecting that rot of those corrupt American Christians and strongly rejecting Trump.
- EonEcho
- Sara_Ks: Correct.
- EonEcho
- John McCain noted this, for example, many years ago.
- Hold_You_Down_Use_You_Up
- eelated is very sensitive about his burnt scrotum
- Hold_You_Down_Use_You_Up
- :/
- Sara_Ks
- EonEcho Where is the evidence?
- EonEcho
- Sara_Ks: Do you agree that John McCain was an expert on this topic?
- EonEcho
- Seeing as he sat on the Foreign Armed Services Committee.
- Sara_Ks
- EonEcho No
- EonEcho
- Sara_Ks: Please provide your definition of expert.
- Sara_Ks
- EonEcho Where is the evidence?
- Publios sips water and crosses leg
- EonEcho
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_of_evidence#USA
- EonEcho
- In 1988, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) came out with its guidelines based on the CTF using the same 3 levels, further subdividing level II.[12][13]
- EonEcho
- Level I: Evidence obtained from at least one properly designed randomized controlled trial.
- EonEcho
- Level II-1: Evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization.
- EonEcho
- Level II-2: Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies, preferably from more than one center or research group.
- EonEcho
- Level II-3: Evidence obtained from multiple time series designs with or without the intervention. Dramatic results in uncontrolled trials might also be regarded as this type of evidence.
- EonEcho
- Level III: Opinions of respected authorities, based on clinical experience, descriptive studies, or reports of expert committees.
- EonEcho
- So, in the USPSTF system, at Level III, opinions of respected authorities is evidence.
- EonEcho
- John McCain was an expert on this topic.
- deusexb has left IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
- Sara_Ks
- EonEcho So, what are the facts basing this claim?
- EonEcho
- Which claim?
- EonEcho
- By McCain?
- Publios
- icequeen81_: lol
- Publios
- RON PAUL
- Publios
- patron
- EonEcho
- Sara_Ks: If you only ask questions without answering any of mine, I'll ignore you in the next few minutes.
- Publios
- a wizened treasure :p
- EonEcho
- Your ignore period will be several months.
- Publios
- lol.
- Sara_Ks
- EonEcho That Ron Paul is a Russian agent. WHAT are the facts supporting this
- EonEcho
- Sara_Ks: You have been provided a piece of evidence.
- EonEcho
- Please discuss that piece of evidence or challenge its quality as evidence if you'd like this dialogue to continue.
- Sara_Ks
- EonEcho I was? What exactly is the evidence?
- EonEcho
- Sara_Ks: I initiated a three minute timer for you.
- EonEcho
- Sara_Ks: I put you on ignore.
- Publios
- lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
- EonEcho
- You just signaled you are unable to track the flow of a dialogue you initiated, which is a prerequisite for things like evaluation of evidence.
- EonEcho
- Publios: Do you think you're being a good ambassador for Christ right not?
- EonEcho
- now
- Publios
- EonEcho: no, which is why I am going to end my commentary
- EonEcho
- Publios: Do you feel proud of your contributions over the last ten minutes?
- 12:45 EonEcho
- I think they were 'terrible'.
- EonEcho
- I think you lost dramatic standing.
- Publios
- my 'lols' were childish but I do not think my choice to not engage was wrong. I'm tired and doing other things
- EonEcho
- Sure.
- 12:45 Publios
- anyway, silence covers much and now I enter it
- Publios
- until next time
- EonEcho
- Publios: I am holding you accountable for your speech in this conversation.
- EonEcho
- I put you on ignore for five days.
- EonEcho
- If you would like to continue to be in a community with me, you'll need to show moral excellence and high integrity, which you've previously done.
- EonEcho
- This involves you stating clearly your position on important moral issues of your age, even if you think they're not important to you.
- EonEcho
- Sara_Ks: Your ignore period will be three months.
- Publios has left ()

- 12:48 EonEcho
- Here is a record of the dialogue.
- EonEcho
- Sara_Ks: Upon further reflection, I increased your ignore to six months.
- EonEcho
- I find you to be one of the most dishonest humans I've ever encountered.
- Sara_Ks has changed mode: +b *!*EonEcho@*.ca.comcast.net
- You have been kicked out of the channel
- Sara_Ks has kicked EonEcho (Sara_Ks)
