Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
I know that the general (and reasonable) standard is to look for definitive ties, but for me just the existence of certain ideas within the time and area -- even amongst seemingly unrelated individuals -- is interesting to me because of my own (young) experiences with just how organically informati...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
The last time I expressed my skepticism in these parts regarding the "Dartmouth Connection," I was chided for materializing out of the blue to mock people (in that instance, Randy Bell) and for not keeping an open mind. I thought my emphatic rejection of Nielsen's theory on the other board as "utte...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
I know that's going to trigger Kish. But it's true, I'm not persuaded by the "Kircher-Nephi" theory. There is no evidence that John Smith ever read anything by Kircher. And it's not reasonable to assume that he would have. Kircher was hardly mentioned in North American scholarship in Smith's lifeti...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
Anyone read this yet? https://www.amazon.com/How-Book-Mormon-Came-Pass/dp/B0CYQDQ67K It centers on the works of a 17th century religious charlatan named Athanasius Kircher, revealing numerous parallels with Book of Mormon motifs and names. I haven't read it, but found the podcast with Mormonish to ...

Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word
Let’s stick with Bundy. Are you saying that all deaths are morally equal? That the serial killer and the soldier both cause death and are therefore moral equals?I Have Questions wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 7:09 pmBrigham Young was responsible for killing many more people than Bundy.

Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word
I’m interested in hearing what you see as the the material differences between Brigham Young, and Bundy & Hussein. Well, Bundy was a serial killer. Right? It is hard to find a more flawed and indecent human being than a serial killer, who violates the most basic principles of mutual social obligati...

Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word
Isn’t the difference kind of obvious? I would consider Bundy mostly indecent.I Have Questions wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 5:31 amBut do you assess them as “relatively decent” individuals in the same way that you have assessed Brigham Young to be “relatively decent” individual. If not, what is the difference you’re seeing?
