Are ALL Mormons Cowards?
I have posted a couple of challenges to Mormons here, to defend the claims of their religion (specifically pertaining to the so-called "Book of Abraham") only to have been met with...
1.) corrections from non-Momrons telling me that there are few if any Mormons here in this "Mormon DIscussion" board, and
2.) by Mormons (who I guess do not exist or are not really here) who whimper and complain a lot ...but who refuse to get in the ring and actually try to defend the claims of their cult.
3.) by ex-Mo's who only want to play childish games, but who also refuse to engage in an actual debate.
Are ALL Mormons chicken? Or is it just the few TBMs and ex-MOs here who cannot bring themselves to actually attempt to defend the claims of their so-called "prophet"?

Re: Are ALL Mormons Cowards?
The list of current defenders here is very short, Brian. Droopy, bcspace, Why Me, Simon Belmont, and one other guy (sorry, it's easier to remember the extremists). Mostly you've been trying to argue with people who don't believe a word of LDS truth claims.
On the subject of arguing, your way of presenting yourself is off-putting, and a little dull. We've heard it all before, and the Book of Abraham topics are common knowledge, so even those of us who agree with you (most of us) aren't that interested because it's "been there, done that."
You might have a better time arguing about religion in general, since there is a better balanced group of atheists vs theists here.

Brian,
I think the problem is that you are asking the wrong questions.
Try avoiding anything substantive or anything factual or anything evidence based. Stick with faith and testimony and Ensign related topics and you'll be fine...

First of all, you haven't been on this board long enough to discern the religious affiliation or non-affiliation of the posters here.
Secondly, your OP is an attack post that doesn't belong here in the Celestial Forum.
Thirdly, you are self deluded.

I am not interested in arguing religion in general. The name of this forum is "Mormon Discussion", not "Generic Religious Discussions". I came here to debate Mormons on the topics of MormonISM. When I want to debate atheists, I know where to go.
I have been doing this for several years; I am not interested in playing "subtle" games or indulging in adolescent word-play and equivocation. I came here with the intent of challenging Mormons to defend the claims of their religion. If you guys are too bored with defending the claims of your own religion, perhaps you should not participate in forums that specify your religion by name as the main subject area of the forum's stated concern.

No, only the one's who are still beating their wives.

I have discerned the religious affiliation of ENOUGH of the participants here to know that few of them are even interested in, much less capable of defending the claims of the LDS organization.
If this is the wrong forum, I trust one of the mods will correct me, and then perhaps move the thread. Until then, your opinion is noted, but without any authority.
Your opinion of ME is irrelevant to the fact that there appear to be few if any Mormons who will actually stand up and try to defend the claims of their obscure little cult. Perhaps YOU will screw up your courage, come down from cat calling in the rafters and get in the ring with me...?
D'you wanna have a go at it, or are you just another Mormon who likes to emote and shout accusations and insults where you SHOULD have been posting reasoned arguments to support your claims?

LOL ...is that a plural "wives"?
Maybe they should fight back.

How's that been working out for you, BrianH? Do you get many takers?

You aren't as good at deduction as you may think. Jersey Girl is a never-mo.
