Re: The Sex, the Violence, the Hideous Crimes in the Holy Bible: Lot’s Story

According to a certain way of thinking, reading Lot's story turns people into incest fetishists. Not what I said, but I admire the creativity and imagination. And who knows? Maybe it happens to some people. WHile I wasn't going for creativity and imagination, I'll take that as a compliment. I was v...

EXACTLY. That's the point of sex. Again, I feel that Lot's story is for someone with an incest fetish.

Re: Why was the Book of Abraham written in Egyptian and not in Greek?

The story takes place in the Land of Make-Believe, located somewhere in the human imagination. Therefore, it makes sense that it should be written in some form of unknown Egyptian script. People in the real world knew Greek. Logical questions do not affect the Land of Make-Believe by decree of the ...

Re: Will Mormons circle the wagons around the pro-LGBT brethren?

Joseph should have known better than to suggest that the church leaders are/were immune from apostacy: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places . What higher p...

Re: Proving the church true in the US court of law

May I present a piece of evidence that ties the journey of Lehi and family in the old world to the descendants of Lehi in the new world: Exhibit 98-30 –Nahom in central Mexico.

Take that, sceptics!

Re: Proving the church true in the US court of law

In the linked piece by Densley, he explains what he means by saying that the critical picture of Smith is "disjointed and fragmented". This is really like that old Far Side cartoon in which the slick salesman points to a wooden cutout of a car and assures the customer that the right way to apprecia...

Re: The Top Ten Happenings in Mopologetics, 2023

I think we should inscribe them on gold plates, so that they will last long enough to be translated thousands of years later with a rock in a hat. Can we please use regular English rather than reformed English please? I cannot believe that you, of all people, are not crying out for them to be "hand...

Re: Does this sound like someone we know?

Since we're talking about Lindsay, let me add a little personal anecdote about what she is like as an in real life person. Several years ago I exchanged a couple of messages with Lindsay - nothing special, just me looking for information about Sunstone conferences. About 6 months later I brought my ...
