Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
MG is here to preach the good word according to him. No one can understand him except he, himself, and Jesus, obviously. So, he is off-limits to criticism as no one can understand what goes on inside his head. So, preach away good buddy. Don't know what success you'll have, but, Ammon and his brethr...

Re: Libertarian-ish and Loving It
Do you know what libertarian means? Yes. For example, see the typical fare of libertarian fantasizing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9-et4H1jvY&t=1s I thought you were libertarian, fundamentally, as you say: https://discussmormonism.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=158359&p=2854286&hilit=libertarian...

Re: Israel
There is no getting rid of Hamas and Israel is being disingenuous by pretending that is even a possible goal. They want us to believe they have absolutely no idea how Hamas is created. Hamas is a product of decades of oppression, occupation, rape and murder by the Israelis, whether it be from the I...

Re: Thomas Stuart Ferguson (May 21, 1915 – March 16, 1983)
Microscopic Nephites. I think that might prove fruitful as a theory. Central America is a tough climate with a lot of parasites. They could have arrived and then were shrunk to the microscopic level due to the climate. It would explain the utter lack of evidence. It's on the microscopic level! Maybe...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
I agree that individuals and groups see things differently. It's obvious. I also believe there is an objective reality and that we all need to give up certain subjective beliefs in order to conform to the objective reality we learn as time goes on. It's part of the repentance process, to put it int...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
You really need to ponder what I highlighted above and then ponder it again and then try and look objectively at Joseph Smith and what he did and the scholarship that has come out as to his sources, like http://jur.byu.edu/?p=21296 Thomas Wayment: I tend to agree that the command to “translate” the...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
Repeating a quote I posted earlier: There are two layers of reality. There is the objective reality of what happens, and there is the subjective reality of how what happened is seen, interpreted, made meaningful. That second subjective layer can sometimes be the more important layer. As the Yale ps...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD
adding two fallacies together doesn't achieve coherence, it just slightly increases the work to untangle the errors. I think your brain is wired to detect fallacies in my sentences even when there aren't any. Not really. You are making it harder to untangle because you're not disclosing the fact th...

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.
Due to the sprawling gag order, the candidate was not—and is not—legally permitted to defend his honor and contest her lurid, legally irrelevant claims. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/the-making-of-a-banana-republic-opinion/ar-BB1m9Bi3?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=9d90659d28af48b091f8f5ae7adc...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own
You didn't ask a question. I did. Motion denied. Move for a more definite statement. How does calling the United States a Constitutional Republic being used to take power from the people? Read what I wrote. You are repeatedly misstating my claim, and I know you’re smart enough to know that. My obje...
