Paul,
Take another pill dude, this is for fun.
While I don't believe in either side, I love to see you nipping at Dan's heels and every once in a while seeing him back kick you!
Great entertainment!

It certainly could, of course, depending on how you take the and.
But some assumed that everything we did in terms of ancient research also had to have a Mormon-studies angle. And that simply wasn't true.

He might have objected. I can't say. But his family was deeply honored by the name-change, and that has pleased me a great deal.

Well, he needs his heels nipped. I'm not afraid of his kicking or his academic ability. Let him try if he will. I have nothing against him personally other than I don't like him. Go figure. But I'm commanded to love everyone and that is really challenging. Frankly, I hope he doesn't strike up a conversation with me because I don't want to talk to him. And I'm damn sure he doesn't want to talk to me either.
So there. Go eat another one of your hairy donuts, Porter.

Paul O, you're the greatest! Believe me when I tell you that Mormonism on the Internet wouldn't be the same without you--not by a long shot.

??? Dude, you crack me up!

Oh, I'm sure we could all go for eating some hairy donuts right about now. . .

Does his study guide match that provided by Joseph Smith?
Joseph didn't know what he was doing. The apologists DO know what he was doing.
