Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

More information is indeed better, MG. Let's compare your church's A.I. powered chatbot, to the standard chatGPT bot: The question of the historicity of the Book of Mormon involves both faith-based perspectives and academic inquiry. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe ...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Using A.I. for debating presents several challenges: Bias: A.I. systems can inherit biases from their training data, leading to unfair or skewed arguments. Lack of Understanding: A.I. may lack a deep understanding of nuanced topics, leading to oversimplification or misrepresentation of arguments. Et...

Re: Russell McGregor: Online Mopologist Extraordinaire

I don’t think Daniel has once addressed anything I’ve written. I don’t spend a lot of time focusing on his trademark self deprecation, superfluous hyperbole, or personal travel anecdotes. I discuss his ideas and often ridicule them from the perspective of a non-Mormon who doesn’t have a preexisting ...

Re: RFM on Kamp in Court

Wow. The judge ruled in Dehlin's favor, citing Jenn Kamp's blatant abuse of the legal system. The case is over, and all that is left is for the court to determine how much money Jenn (and her husband) owe John Dehlin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpkWhC3XZ3c This is surely what would have happen...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory

Philo, did you legally change your name?? :lol: Dan has no response to pointing out how ridiculously childish his apologetic arguments are. Two Hills Cumorah. Two Watson letters. Two, three, four transfigurations of Brigham Young. Whatever it takes to jam that square peg into a round hole. The apol...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Have you forsaken Mormonism's exalted man and organizer god, and embraced the God of Christianity? The God of Christianity has much in common with the God I worship. From Pi A.I. Here are a few comparisons between the LDS and traditional Christian concepts of God: * Both believe that God is a lovin...

Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory

I guess it is important for LDS people to believe that Brigham Young was Joseph Smith’s successor, despite the fact that he did not see himself as such for some time. I think it is pretty obvious that he was not Smith’s successor. This does not mean he was not the leader of his community. It does n...

Re: Russell McGregor: Online Mopologist Extraordinaire

A more efficient approach -- I'm watching it in real time over at the Peterson Obsession Board -- is to simply dismiss all the accounts, sight unseen, accompanied by snorts of derision and, among the higher organisms there, airy but factually-ungrounded theoretical explanations of why the accounts ...
