Re: Illegal immigration during Trump

Hi Veritas,

I know the Republicans quashed Biden’s bi-partisan border bill, but what would it have done had it been implemented?

I’m not calling you out; I’m genuinely curious.

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

Shades, I can tell you how these people could have experienced memory contamination: Spalding’s writing sucks. It is boring as hell, and as tedious as parts of the Book of Mormon can be, its opening chapters are much more engaging than Spalding’s extant work. So if an author’s two works are boring,...

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

So, was I wrong, and you indeed are NOT buying into the mopologetic B.S. that the trunk manuscript and Manuscript Found are the same thing? It is the manuscript we have. That doesn't answer the question. Just because we have a manuscript doesn't mean it's the same as another manuscript that is miss...

Re: Here's why the decreasing fertility rate in the US is a concern

If secular people had more children, the percentage of religious people (including Mormons) would have been reduced to an insignificant percentage that wouldn't affect the lives of most people. So, you think that secular people having, say, 1% more children would magically wash away the religious p...

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

How can you have read that book but still make the rookie mistake of conflating the rough draft found in the trunk with the finished Manuscript Found ? How can you make silly assumptions? It wasn't a silly assumption. You said that "the Book of Mormon bears a generic and rough narrative resemblance...

Re: God was Sorry

If you believe the Book of Mormon then you have to believe they did. Limhi’s people encountered their remains, Coriantumr found the Mulekites and lived with them for nine months, etc. No Jaredites in the Americas, no Book of Mormon. Why do I have to believe that? It's not even established that they...

Re: God was Sorry

No, the Jaredite barges were not space ships. If they were, why did they land in the Americas? You have the evidence that they landed in the Americas? If you believe the Book of Mormon then you have to believe they did. Limhi’s people encountered their remains, Coriantumr found the Mulekites and li...

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

No, the Spalding-Rigdon connection hasn’t been debunked. Just because the Mopologists have declared it so doesn’t mean they’re correct. It remains the most valid explanation for the origin of the Book of Mormon. The only problem with it is a lack of evidence supporting it. The mountain of evidence ...
