(by the way, I was banned in the summer -- I'm not allowed to even read FAIR anymore). Really? Why? I was queued in April for upsetting the good doctor Peterson; I was banned in the summer due to my participation on a former rendition of this bb (as were many of us). Please don't try to claim that ...

Be careful about calling him "Pah," Bob. He'll instantly believe that you and I and Mr. S are one in the same!

I lost major respect for Mr. Rollhead when, on FAIR, he continued to make the ridiculous argument that the Church should accept homosexual marriages in jurisdictions where it is legal. No, I simply said the Church shouldn't excommunicate a member for the sole reason that he did something that is hi...

Like I said, seeing them both posting here has caused me to reconsider that opinion. If Scratch was invented to end-run Rollo's queueing, why would he bother maintaining both cyber-identities in his home base? Finally ... it appears the light bulb is going on over Pah's shrunken head. ;) Something ...

Interestingly, the only "two" people to ever call me "Pah" were Mister Scratch and "Rollo Tomasi." For that (and other) reasons, I concluded that Scratch was Rollo's sock-puppet. The other reasons were (1) their posting styles were indistinguishable, and (2) Scratch on...

Queen Victoria's influence was not felt anywhere near 1835, years before her reign, or in 1843 for that matter. As a general matter, before Victorian times, sexual immorality was quite commonplace. One can see it in the lives of the founding fathers of this country, and explains to some extent the ...

I have no doubt that polygamy was generally repugnant to Christians of the 19th Century. But why? Is there some basis for this repugnancy? I suspect natural law. As I pointed out above, what was repugnant to Jacob was still repugnant to Helen over 2,000 years later, so it seems to have been around ...

Your criticism of "Smith's sexual behaviour" focused upon his marrying (1) a 14-year-old (2) in polygamy. What is wrong with these two items, from the perspective of the 19th Century? Read my quote from Helen above -- do you still believe that the feelings she expresses therein were out o...

I'm waiting for you to cite to philosophers, ethicists, the scriptures, anything. How about the victim? Here are Helen's words: [Heber Kimball] left me to reflect upon it for the next twenty-four hours .... I was sceptical -- one minute believed, then doubted. I thought of the love and tenderness t...
