It's a catchy title for the series, I'll give them that.

Re: Numbers...

God's acts aren't random. They are timed. But it's easy to dismiss everything. Really easy to just go on surviving because the world will go one with or without me and has been twirling around the sun for millions of years. Who am I? I've only been here a little and I've only said "You are making s...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

That's BS, man. I wasn't engaging in circular reasoning. You seem to engage in confirmation bias. When I said, "There's no harm when a 26-year-old dates a 17-year-old, as long as the relationship is healthy and consensual," I was simply describing what I believe constitutes a non-harmful relationsh...

It's possible, and I thank you for the hearty round of laughter. We would need clarification from Valo. Until then, I'm extending Valo the benefit of the doubt that Valo has more self-awareness than say, LeeUniverse/ldsfaqs.

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"

Easy. The witnesses to the supposed "longer scroll" didn't describe any unique features that aren't in the papyrii that we still have. The only supposedly unique feature was that the scroll was "long." Now, "long" is an extremely subjective descriptor. As I remember it, and my memory is way worse t...

Re: Numbers...

You are just making stuff up You keep saying that to people, as if you're totally not making stuff up when you declare that God is revealing truth by numbers to sensitive people. The brain is a horrible random number generator. https://youtu.be/d6iQrh2TK98?t=313 It's not surprising that you think o...

Re: Illegal immigration during Trump

The MAGAs pushed this lie about "open borders" which is a reason why so many people come to the border. Their fake news traveled south of the border and created a mess they claim they don't want.
I would think this is a big contributing factor.

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"

Dr. Shades,

What would be the difference between believing there is a longer Manuscript Found as a critic, and believing in a longer Book of Abraham scroll destroyed in the Chicago fire as an apologist?

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

Jesus Christ, why are you making such a big deal about the wording instead of focusing on the point? I was focusing on the point. People reason in circles when they express deeply held beliefs, such as beliefs about God or the Bible; beliefs they have difficulty justifying or even comprehending obj...

Re: Immigrants Make America Great

When you forbid people to work and print money to pay them, that creates massive inflation. The only way to run an economy with that kind of inflation is to bring in hordes of unskilled and impoverished immigrants willing to work for less. This benefits corporate American elites. So yeah, Biden has...
