Re: The Many-Transfigurations theory

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...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

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...

Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion

by the way for those who haven't done it yet, there's an exclamation point where you can report the post as off topic. shows up for the mods faster, plus then they know somebody cares about it. I flagged it now, it hadn't been reported yet.

Re: What is Gravity?

Very informative post. It's not as accurate as you want to project, is all. In order to participate in this adult conversation you must accept the premise that general relativity is flawed, in a big way. If you can't accept that premise, you can't be talking about the same thing as what this conver...

Re: Trump's Religion vs Obama's Religion

While it's a nice pejorative and definitely earned as an insult in many cases, Trump supporters are not technically cultists, at least in my mind. 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...

Re: Bigotry Unleashed: "SeN" Declares Open Season on Calvinism and Other Faiths

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...

Re: Bigotry Unleashed: "SeN" Declares Open Season on Calvinism and Other Faiths

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 ...

Re: What is Gravity?

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...

Re: What is Gravity?

Simple, their experiment assumed that the Aether would just go around the earth. But it doesn't, it goes through the earth and into the earth and into the matter particles and is annihilated. So if their experiment does not assume the correct details they are not going to arrive at the correct resu...

Re: Charity from the heart.

Yeah, it sounds good in principle, but just because I claim to be saved and claim that therefore goodness is flowing forth through me via the holy spirit and that's more natural than a Mormon who has to do the works and then get the carrot or get the stick, doesn't mean the holy spirit really exists...
