Hey, if you want to tell yourself to stay on topic, that's fine by me. By all means do so.

What part of the following do you earnestly disagree with and why?


Hmmm. Satan quoted scripture to Jesus. Should I follow him?

Tobin,
Can you show where anyone has been resurrected, fulfilling a portion of the "all shall live again" prophecy?
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Just a FYI (if you don't know it), but I don't take you seriously and neither should any Mormon. I really doubt any Mormon that comes to this forum hasn't seen antics or characters like you before. Your attempts at substituting walls of text and sound bites in place of cogent well-reasoned arguments does not impress. If you'd like to respond to a Mormon, such as myself, with a well thought-out response, I'd be happy to discuss these topics with you. Until then, carry on with whatever you think you are accomplishing.

The Bible and Book of Mormon claim that Jesus Christ was resurrected.

Not proof.... Sorry. Written several decades after the event.


Any other examples?

I didn't ask you to follow him, I asked what you disagreed with. Apparently you agree with everything he said. And a FYI, people are people - not Satan, God or whatever caricature you wish to attach to them because of your obvious biases.

There is no proof. That's why its called faith. If there were proof such as God was sitting the sky hitting people with lightning bolts from his eyes (and yes Quasi - I'm being facetious) the moment they disbelieved, we wouldn't be discussing this at all.

If you mean that I'll never understand a person like you, you are correct.
