Re: SeN on Willard Richards: "unusually bright and capable"? Or Delusional and "Obsessed"?

Why can't it be both? In fact, this seems to be a bit of a confessional of DCP. He is bright and capable AND delusional and obsessed. In fact that's kind of a good description of most Mopologetics. None of them seems dull and incapable. All of them are surely obsessed with defending the truth claim...

SeN on Willard Richards: "unusually bright and capable"? Or Delusional and "Obsessed"?

Over at SeN, Dr. Peterson recently posted a rather long-winded biography of Willard Richards. In conversations about the Witnesses and/or about other early Church leaders, Dr. Peterson seldom ever gets into specifics: it's as if he's reluctant to actually defend his position concerning the credibili...

Re: LDS Inc buys Kirtland Temple from Mormon rivals for $192 million

The Mopologists are predictably reacting with vindictive glee. It’s not enough for them to simply have the Kirtland temple back; they have to use the occasion to berate the CoC, accuse them of being “apostates,” and to treat the different CoC religious beliefs with mockery and contempt.

Re: LDS Inc buys Kirtland Temple from Mormon rivals for $192 million

I do wonder why the money wasn't used to build the FARMS ziggurat . Alternatively, FARMS could have purchased the Kirtland temple, moved it by truck to Provo, and contracted with E. C. Construction Company to reconstruct the temple into a ziggurat. (I suspect that D. Peterson would have been hired ...

Re: Gemli explains...

Some remarkably (or typically?) dishonest/disingenous material from Dr. Peterson, in response to Gemli: gemli: " But golden plates are not observable and testable" Actually, they were observed by between fifteen and twenty people, who, collectively speaking, left behind scores of accounts of what th...

Re: Does DCP want a discussion?

The answer to the opening question is “No.” DCP has never been interested in “conversation” online; he has, almost 100% of the time, been interested in Mopologetics. Things changed somewhat once he moved over into blogging, but his interactions with other people online has been defined by condescens...

Mopologetics and the Concept of “Sheeple”

A very (unintentionally) funny entry appeared on SeN today. In it, the Proprietor describes a visit to a New Zealand ranch where they were treated to a show of sheep being sheared. Dr. Peterson notes that he was impressed by the “speed” at which the wool was sheared away, but as you might guess, he ...

Re: Louis Midgley Issues Another Threat to Gina Colvin: "She deserves a good trashing."

It is absolutely hilarious and all too fitting that DCP is threatening to ban someone for quoting the Lord’s Anointed. Right, Imagine if they were quoting the Encyclopedia of Mormonism or something from FROB. No problems then. It’s a reminder of how much of a mask DCP’s daily posts are. He seems to...

Re: Why DCP’s Proposed Beatitudes Book is Problematic

Thank you for bumping this thread, drumdude. Perhaps we should resurrect it each year, sort of like how he does with Bond’s comment about Interpreter? My prediction, by the way, was this: So long as he continues to pretend that his behavior hasn’t hurt people, he will never finish another book. His ...
