didn't really delve into what The People of Praise believe and practice and as to why it seems so easy to link them to The Handmaid's Tale. If the author couldn't distinguish between them immediately then perhaps the degree of difference isn't great.

That makes me nervous enough. However you do have a point in that we should look at her pattern of judgement and kick her application for employment out the window.

The false link between Amy Coney Barrett and The Handmaid's Tale, explained: vox.com [View all] DonaldsRump Sep 2020 OP

You certainly seem quite Rule of Claw Sep 2020 #1

You certainly seem to not understand my posts. Why exactly? DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #2

Distinction without a Difference. The point remains. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #3

This is not a right-wing talking point DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #4

Both groups hold similar premises. Most of us realize this is a distinction without a difference hlthe2b Sep 2020 #5

What exactly am I pushing? DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #6

Yeah, sure. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #7

Sooo, Coney's not a wich ... That's good to know uponit7771 Sep 2020 #8

the article linked... uriel1972 Sep 2020 #9

That's exactly right DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #12

I see nobody on here except this post Sunsky Sep 2020 #37

I do agree with that...that's fundamentally the point of my OP DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #39

In evolutionary biology, we call it convergent evolution NickB79 Sep 2020 #10

The article cites opinions of the left and right on religion, tavernier Sep 2020 #11

OP is clearly not defending Barrett Tones2345 Sep 2020 #13

Then YOU should post the difference in practice and philosophy of the two groups and Barrett-- hlthe2b Sep 2020 #14

Again, the sole issue here is the inspiration for a book and a TV show DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #16

I think we all know what this is about. You claim you know inspiration for a book for which author hlthe2b Sep 2020 #17

And again. You claim the article is correct and agree with its conclusion, though provided NO proof hlthe2b Sep 2020 #20

I am not defending anything DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #23

You continually defend an article that concludes that which is not proven. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #24

And why are you not reading the posts? DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #25

They are repetetive, but I certainly have. You made your position absolutely clear hlthe2b Sep 2020 #26

and I won't forget the absurdity of this discussion DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #29

You discount the author's own words on this matter. Yeah, that's not absurd! hlthe2b Sep 2020 #31

I am not defending anything (second time) DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #34

I find calling out those who believe this a distinction without a difference hlthe2b Sep 2020 #35

There is nothing remotely offensive in what I have said DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #38

Precisely... uriel1972 Sep 2020 #18

What does that mean exactly? Dr. Strange Sep 2020 #40

Different strokes for different folks... DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #45

Except you might be missing the bigger point. MrsCoffee Sep 2020 #46

I am not disagreeing with that. DonaldsRump Sep 2020 #47
