Even in 1879 we knew that accusation is projection.

The thing about wanting to foist old-timey old-testamenty religion upon the world is that one invites the old-timey zingers as well.

“Easy as it is to put into clear verbal statement; readily as the analogies of nature supply arguments for and illustrations of a balance between moral light and darkness, love and hatred; yet is man limited in subjective conceptions to his own possibilities, and it may almost be said that to genuinely believe in an absolute Fiend a man would have to be potentially one himself.”

Hafta say there are some real gems in this one.

""the sum of the series 1 + x + x² + x³ + ... is a definite number". "Definite numbers" are just themselves; they don't change and cannot "approach" anything" - says person who, yet again, left the very next paragraph out of their screenshot, which quite clearly states "the sum of whose terms approach a limit", the limit being the "definite number" being discussed 🙄

That's the way it ALWAYS goes. The #rightwing nut jobs railing against #voter #fraud are the ones proven to be committing it. Every accusation is a confession.

"Looking at his other comments I worry that he might mislead some people" - says the Gaslighter, ignoring the proofs and textbooks in those comments

"I feel confident he has been exposed" - says person who couldn't provide ANY evidence for ANY of those claims 😂

""Maths textbooks" are the *ultimate* authority" - no, proofs are

"the four I mentioned were just ignored" - because proven wrong 🙄

"he has never posted anything resembling a proof" - says person revealing they didn't even read the thread they are replying to... again 😂

"immediately blocking is A-OK" - have you tried not, you know, gaslighting? 😂

"replied to a bunch of my comments" - fact-checked is the words you're looking for

"then blocked me" - well done on being only the second Gaslighter I've ever had to block 🙄

"intellectual dishonesty" - says Gaslighter in a case of #EveryAccusationIsAConfession

We've seen OVER & OVER & OVER AGAIN that when it comes to #Republicans, #EveryAccusationIsAConfession (that's why I KNEW there was a Republican #pedophile sex ring somewhere.)

#MafiaDon once accused #Obama is being likely to start a war with #Iran if he started doing bad in the polls, and #Republicans insisted Bill Clinton would "refuse to leave office" and "declare martial law". 🤔
