The Good Post Gallery was deleted?

[Antonio the Sixth]

I can't find it anywhere on the board.

[politicus]

The New Irony Ore Mine seems to be gone as well (or whatever our current Irony mine was called)

[Ebowed]

Yes, was just looking for Good Post Gallery to quote this:

I've said a few times now that regardless of what one thinks about the way Mormons tend to get involved in politics--in terms of policy, in terms of strategy, whatever--the fact that they do have a strong tradition of dynamic, on-the-ground political involvement, and in most cases seem sincere and idealistic about it, is itself worthy of admiration. The same is true of black churches.

There is nothing admirable about religion muscling its way into our civic institutions. It's a very problematic thing, especially coming from "sincere and idealistic" people.

Does that include Martin Luther King Jr. [1]?

[1] Yes I realize he did not believe in the divinity of Jesus at least when he wrote his thesis, but nonetheless he mobilized the black church for political action as well as his own moral authority as a minister.

The major difference is that MLK and the civil rights movement, while structurally organized and inspired by the faith of black churches, didn't try to implement the theology of the AME Church or any other denomination into law. Simply characterizing a basic belief in the rights of African-Americans to dignity and equality as part of those church's "theology" is  VASTLY overbroad.

Can PAPOY go next?  K? Thx.

Seems unlikely to be intentional because surely you'd take down 'simple truths' first?

[Ban my account ffs!]

My guess is that Torie got stoned and now he's organizing, as it were. He always makes things better. it must be the lawyer in him.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I blame the Jews.

[Associate Justice PiT]

I blame the Jews.

    Do you blame Kaljew?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I blame the Jews.

It's always our fault, isn't it?   Apparently that's the one constant of life: No matter what the problem is, somewhere someone blames the Jews for it.

It's easy!

I resurrected an old Irony Mine when I couldn't find the current one.

[Flake]

Y'all haven't connected two and two yet.

[Sol]

Y'all haven't connected two and two yet.

?
Is it who stated the threads? Scott?

[free my dawg]

Y'all haven't connected two and two yet.

...so he broke his six month hiatus just to pic-drop Snowstalker and delete two threads.

I'm sorry, but that's just f**king grim.

[Mr. Morden]

Here is Google's cached version of the Good Post Gallery, and Scott was indeed the OP:

Scott's profile page says:

I don't understand why they would do that?

[Lief 🗽]

Wtf, what kind of sicko does that

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

That's odd.

[Ebowed]

Wtf, what kind of sicko does that

Well, Scott was racist...

[Clarko95 📚💰📈]

This is a calamity

[Badger]

Well, whether the theory of Scottls deleting them is true or not (I genuinely have no idea), the Forum needs both a Good Post Gallery and Irony Ore Mine. I, your frieendly neighborhood mod, heartily encourage you all to create new ones!


But please note my use of the term "one". Thnx.

EDIT: And it seems I'm already behind the times with my exhortation.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Well, wow.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

It's outrageous such good threads are gone, while PAPOY is still here
