You're right, Professor, that it's straight-up bad blood without the pretense of nicey-nice. There are several angles I could go from here. How about self-importance? Angry and verbally vindictive? Sure. But is he constantly speaking in a way where the subtext of what he's talking about is patting h...

That's a very interesting way to view it Reverend. The miracle "ratifies" BY as legit. But the need for that underscores just how shaky the proceeding was in the first place. Interesting.

I don't get the Mopologist interest. Is this something taught as a miracle in the CES curriculum? What's the doctrinal underpinning? I've never heard of a transfiguration account from the scriptures where one person turns into another. Like Satan turning into an angel of light. As a Chapel Mormon, I...

I'm not going to fault MG too much for this one because I've never seen a coherent definition of "libertarian" free will even from sophisticated thinkers. Most people aren't even sure what they want to say when they say they have "free will". I can fault MG for contradicting himself right out of the...

A cult requires not only an information silo, but isolation and dependency on the leader. I've theorized that cults could exist outside of a compound-lik...

My apologies Doctor Scratch, I wasn't very clear. I was rushed as I was to meet a friend for dinner. Funny enough, and I'm not making this up, he's been on his way out of the Church, and has had run ins with online Mopologetics that left a very bad impression on him. In fact, he told relatives about...

One can, in other words, "write and speak" about them in a respectful way Not according to Kiwi57. According to him, you can only ever utter positive expressions of your faith, even as LDS. He went so far to defend this framework, he interpreted that scripture in D&C 1:30 "the only true and living ...

Valo, Using chatGPT was a creative idea to get some baseline concept descriptions going when you had at least three people saying sorta the same thing but not for sure. However, in your latest attempt, you're going well beyond its ability to generate answers. Remember, the "P" in GPT means "plagiari...
