When Boylan writes after the person dies ‘and becomes a good Lutheran,’ is he making a play on something like ’the only good Lutheran is a dead Lutheran’? I haven't heard any such meme regarding dead Lutherans, but this would seem to be a rather embarrassing insult for a member of a church that bel...

The planet Ear Roam would seem to be the perfect HQ for both Bose Audio and Dolby Sound Laboratories. "Slundlo" sounds like a toilet cleaner. "Crash ma Kraw" sounds like an old phone prank name like "I.P. Freely." They all seem like madeup English words or vaguely Hebrew ones. I hope someone will p...

How often does Dan criticize his comrades? I confess I don't know because I don't read his blog posts except when they're mentioned here. The only time I have ever seen him criticize a fellow apologist in public was he lashed out at Yahoo Bot once---because Yahoo Bot had spoken out against William ...

You’ve consistently been one of the most even headed posters here. It blows my mind that DCP compared you to gollum. I can’t think of anything else that highlights DCP’s deranged view of critics better than that. I do find it revealing, especially when you consider that guys like Kiwi57 and Midgley...

I've never seen that image before, or most of the planet names. Do you know the source of that meme, Moksha? The caption at the bottom of the photo contains a URL -- that leads to the Joseph Smith Papers website. The names were pulled out of Joseph Smith’s magic hat and were readily available to hi...

Talk about steadying the ark! If Jesus is indeed an infinite and all-powerful being, he most certainly could personally meet every single dying human from Earth, plus all the other aliens that he died for as well. The whole physical body thing gets in the way perhaps, but maybe when you've attained ...

For one, the gospel topics essays were a form of bargaining, following decades of denial and, at times, anger at the "critics" who merely pointed out the inconvenient truth. FAIR is all about bargaining. Seems like the overall state of LDS apologetics is hovering around that stage. Less developed M...

Informed readers know the name-title of “Pharaoh” (Great House) is misused in Joseph Smith’s translations and is an anachronism in the Book of Abraham. The very word “Pharaoh” does not belong in Abraham’s time and Smith’s definition of what it signifies is incorrect: And now, without further ado, I...

I vaguely remember DCP arguing for the reasonability of Pascal’s wager. So he might be at stage 3! I really hope Dan isn't a Pascal person. It's such a terrible argument and has been debunked pretty much since it was first proposed. I can't say I would be surprised if Dan were a Pascal wagerer, how...
