I really like Dr. Carson in general, but damn is he not a convincing speaker. Looks bland compared to the others up there.

There are some really bad talking points they trained on. Walker has been to look at the border, so he's an expert on immigration? :/ Christie makes everything about 9/11? Pretty bad...

tbh there isn't enough time, they just say something they can get out in 30 seconds. I'm still amused by this though. Much more entertaining than I anticipated.

Poor Carson though. I've said it before- he's simply too nice of a person. He's not combative. Stick to the brain.

Only in the US would part of the political spectrum consider secular to be a bad word.

People do realize a flat tax raises taxes on homeless veterans and working children right?

Slapped Wallace down lol.

But for those of us who don't rely upon the judgements of stone age Jews for morality, which includes both people like myself and also the entire pro-life lobby, that's not really relevant.
...
Exodus 21:22 states that causing a woman to have a miscarriage is not treated as murder. Instead the father of the unborn will exact a price from the party that caused the miscarriage which has to be approved as reasonable by the judges.


You're right on the point from Hebrew Law, and you even nod at the fact that Christians don't use it as the source of moral instruction except insofar as it contrasts with other contemporary codes. But let's try to be a little accurate on the history. The oldest parts of Hebrew Law are bronze age, so "stone age" is off by a good few millennia.

You're assuming there is no oral history predating the Bible. Given that the Bible goes back all the way to the foundation of the earth 7000 years ago that's a little silly. There had to be oral history predating the written Bible and it had to go all the way back through the stone age because otherwise how would the bronze age people have known about the creation of the earth? We know they lived for hundreds of years but even so none of them lived long enough to remember about creation.


I'm assuming no such thing. Just saying that you can't dismiss Hebrew ideas as "stone age" because that's a gross oversimplification of the history.

Either the bible is real or its not.
If its not real then its no more a guide for morality then the Ikea catalog.
If it is real then God surely told people how to live before the bronze age. And God being all knowing he is unlikely to change his world views on a regular basis, therefor making it a reasonable assumption that they are indeed 'Stone Age' idea's.


Yeah, that's not how Christianity works. Sure, some kinds of Judaism say that's how it works, but Christianity believes that while God is unchanging, humanity is really shitty at fully understanding God's messages, causing God to have to baby-step us along to the real answers. That's the whole point for the Old Testament (prepping us to be able to understand Jesus)
e.g.:
God: Slavery is bad.
Humans: So if I expel my slaves into the desert, you'll look after them? (Abraham)
God: No, slavery is bad.
Humans: So, Jews shouldn't be slaves in Egypt? (Moses)
God: No, you dumb shits, slavery is bad.
Humans: So we should release slaves after they work for us for seven years, providing for them financially afterwards? (Hebrew Law)
God: Did I fucking stutter? Slavery is bad.
Humans: So I should release my slaves and let them join my household as equals? (Philemon)
God: Finally. I'm gonna go get a beer.

Yes, and I'm rooting for him as Rep. candidate on those grounds.
