I agree both on the memetical relation between Christianity and progressivism, and on the likely receptiveness of LW to this idea. My guess is that most of sam’s downvotes are not for the intellectual content of his/her postings but for their style, that seems intent at scoring political points as opposed to finding truth.
I’ve down voted sam0345 before for similar reasons. This post didn’t strike me as that bad. My intuition puts bad style and good ideas to be somewhere on the −3 to +1 scale karma wise.
I suppose LW is sensitive to repeated misbehaviour. Either that or we let ourselves be affected quite strongly on how any particular comment is judged by who wrote it.
