I’m just trying to get you to read for yourself. Evidently, you don’t even want to read your own words, so I am done here.
All I want to read is *your* answer to my simple question by checking the boxes to signify which elements of my statement you were referring to.

How hard is that? That is something you can very well do. No need to run off in a huff without answering the question!

I answered your question with a simple question that guides you to the answer. You’re a smart guy. Figure it out. Don’t be so damned lazy.

Kishy, is this one of those fancy professor-type word plays that serve as a riddle? I don't get it. You'll need to clarify by breaking it down so I can understand what exactly you're implying. Or maybe it's not really necessary. But, if you don't mind, please put a check mark in the following boxes that correspond to your statement:

"I wish I were surprised to read that"

[ ] I think he's a bit of a coward.
[ ] I don't want to express more ill feelings towards him personally.
[ ] I'm almost done reading his faith promoting book which I judge as more religious nonsense.
What did you say I shouldn’t be surprised about?
Come on, kish, you wrote "I wish I were surprised to read that," and he asked you what you were referring to. Can't you just answer his question?

Do you really think this is the best way to communicate with your fellow posters? There’s so much contempt in this post.

It’s difficult to reconcile your posts like this sometimes with your much more friendly demeanor in your YouTube videos.

He is speaking at a conference on polygamy soon.
Any word on when Mormons are planning to bring this Celestial-giving practice back? Maybe Don can give us a hint after this conference.

I have Kishkumen on ignore for exactly that kind of response.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Well, okay. Let me see what I can do as I recall my original paragraph in which you expressed "I wish I were surprised to read that," but with that alone, I can't be sure whether you actually wished or did not wish and can't say whether you were surprised or not because the whole thing was a wish and you refused to clarify but left it to my own intelligence to figure it all out.

In any case, my paragraph was broken into three complete sentences. So, I will take your suggestion and not be so lazy and see if I can determine what you were thinking:

[ ] I think he's a bit of a coward.

Perhaps Kishy wasn't surprised to read that, but I don't know

[ ] I don't want to express more ill feelings towards him personally.

Perhaps Kishy wasn't surprised to read that, but I don't know

[ ] I'm almost done reading his faith promoting book which I judge as more religious nonsense.

Perhaps Kishy wasn't surprised to read that, but I don't know

And there you have it.

He can but he remains somewhat stubborn.

The last time Don appeared here it didn't seem to create intriguing arguments as to why he went from Atheism back to Mormonism. The Hart Book he told us to read was not impressive and he has had similar outcomes on other platforms. (Search exmormon reddit and you will find him using the same arguments).
