Bullseye.

I'm mostly curious about this evidence for the resurrection. That's a thread I'd be interested in reading.

There is none. Christians sometimes let their imaginations run wild as they fantasize about their superhero.

Perhaps. But if Servant is interested in sharing, I'd be interested in that thread happening.

Wait? There is evidence of Christ's resurrection? I've heard people claim there is evidence that proves a historical Jesus, but now we have "evidence" of not only that, but of his resurrection as well? Wow. That is awesome.

Good to hear. Looks pretty bad between Albany and Corvallis.

Thanks for once again demonstrating that the loudest Christians are usually the worst Christians.


Man, if members of the CofJCofLDS are anything like what Servant is describing I'm super embarrassed. I guess I've been in Utah too long. We're actually a pretty nice bunch here. Not perfect. But trying to be good Christians.

When I travel outside of Utah members seem to be nice too. Yes, they do missionary work but I really don't think I can get on board with the accusation that they are being idiots about it. That's not the way to bring people to Christ...and members aren't so dumb that they don't realize that.

I do believe that we ought not to fight against our Christian brothers and sisters. If that has been your experience with members of the church, Servant, I feel bad that this is so. Folks like us who consider Joseph Smith to be a prophet also worship Jesus as Lord and Savior...just like you do. We ought to be friends, not enemies.

People saw him, eh? The Bible says so. There’s your evidence.

Don’t get me wrong. It is evidence. The question is one of the strength of the evidence and whether it is convincing.

Not at all. I work to inform people about Joseph Smith and his lifestyle. And I'm pretty good at it. That's a big threat to Mormons. The cult stands or falls with him. I detest the fact that the cult tries to undermine the Christian missionaries in Africa for instance where I have had family members doing missionary work. The Mormons come in and spread doubt and draw away the uninformed. You can call it whatever you want to krose. You have a right to your opinion, but not your own facts.

Well, that was bizarre. I posted a comment then deleted it right after, choosing instead not to join the fray (thus the “never mind”), and now get this confusing response.
