URGENT: Need specific examples of LDS apologetic ad hominem

Post by _mormonstories »

Urgent: Need specific examples of LDS apologetic ad hominem attacks for a presentation I'm preparing. Need quotes, references.

I'd like to resolve the question as to whether or not the accusations are hollow.

Please post them to the link below if you can. Thanks in advance!

Look at the nami reviews of: Grant Palmer's books, Quinn's books where his orientation is mentioned, or where Simon Sotherton's excommunication is invoked.

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

We have an entire thread, pinned to the top, dedicated to answering that exact question. See:

While perhaps not scholarly enough to warrant the term "apologetics" I suspect almost any response from gdemetz on this board would fit the bill.
