“hammering him”— I saw what you did there...

What isn’t defensible about it?

All he did was compare something that he believes isn’t curable to something that he believes isn’t curable.

It’s not like he called Carson a child molester.

He said Carson has an incurable anger problem. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t.

I’ll say this. In my time on this earth it has become apparent to me that a particular type of human being seem more predisposed to violence than other types.

It makes me wonder if it’s genetic.

Should I be ashamed of myself for wondering that?

A lot of people have trouble understanding analogies — it’s why they were removed from the SAT when they dumbed it down. Trump may be overestimating the intelligence of a lot of people in this case.

I would guess that some branches reject that.

There are "branches" of SDA now? If they uphold their list of "Fundamentals," then they affirm Ellen White to be an authoritative prophet, and thus reject the Trinity through her. Read here for SDA theologians speaking about the subject of what SDA actually believe about the Trinity:

Overcoming a history of violence or not, shouldn’t anybody have pause regardless if they claim to have been rehabilitated if they admit to trying to stab somebody or going after one’s mother with a hammer?

Even for Trump’s unchecked loud mouth, this takes it too far.

It was only a matter of time before he’d start doing himself in.

a question about his personality given the attempted attack on his mother

You have quite a fixation there. One might even describe it as pathological.

“He would be willing to send my son off to die somewhere while he would not have to guts to do it himself.”

And Trump’s active military service dates are...?

I would not let a person who tried to attack his mother with a hammer to operate on my child’s brain... I would also disqualify him as someone I could vote for to be president.. I apologize for expecting more from a candidate than that...

Good point. Maybe 50+ years of success at being a mature adult would help with the pause one feels over the story. If that doesn’t do it, then maybe the problem isn’t with Carson.

Why would Jesus’ race present a problem for anyone? He most likely wasn’t the blue-eyed Euro depicted in Western culture.

My DiL attends and has attended SDA for over 20 years. That's not something she's been taught. Have you been in one? Do you know what is actually taught? Nope. You're going by what a website tells you.

Not all churches of any denomination adhere to doctrine.

Have we heard whether Carson takes medication for his “temper”?

Was Trump inartful? Absolutely. But you’re missing the point about his remarks
