Tobin is clearly an apostate, along with many of the other Mopologists. To throw the Apostles of the Lord under the bus like he does is evidence the Evil One has a hold on him.

He needs to repent.

So, to bring this thread back to its OP....we can all agree that MormonThink is basically antimormon, telling its 'truth' according to MT. However, we can all see bias in the site to cast doubt in members' minds, right?

Tobin wrote: ... I could care less ...


I frequently see this usage on this board and elsewhere, and it seems to me a puzzling distortion of idiom.

The writer clearly means "I care very little [about the subject in question]". For that purpose, the expression "I couldn't care less" is in common use, meaning "The amount I care about the subject in question is so small that it couldn't be smaller". But if you say instead "I could care less", that destroys the effect entirely, since it would be possible to say that even if you cared a huge amount about the subject in question.

Tobin may be bizarre in some ways, but he usually writes English that works at the level of the mechanics of expression. So why does he (with others) commit this pointless distortion of a useful idiom?

No, we can't agree with, or to that.

However, we can agree that you are:

1. Anti-Catholic
2. Anti-Semetic
3. Deceitftul
4. Hypocritical

No. MormonThink.com is a site produced largely by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who are interested in the historical accuracy of our church and how it is being taught to its members and portrayed in the media. Where you get "anti-Mormonism" from that is baffling.

Because only a small subset of true Mormon-related facts (Set A) are faith-promoting. Other facts are either just not faith-promoting (Set B) , or may even destroy the effect that faith-promoting facts would have had if stated in isolation (Set C).

Anybody who states facts from Set B or Set C in a place accessible to Mormons is therefore anti-Mormon.

What part of that don't you understand???!!???

I think that you fulfill the definition of being a troll. Am I right? As I understand it, a troll uses personal attacks to deflect from the discussion. So, you are a troll, right?

About as much as you are little buddy.

Since when is telling the truth an attack? Funny, I didn't see that in the dictionary anywhere? Then again, you wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on the butt.

Didn't you tell the posters over at CAF you're Catholic? Was that a lie?

So, I guess what it all boils down to is, pot meet kettle.
