If there really is a god, I figure he can tell me himself, just as I would do with my own child. Until that time, he does not exist - thus, Mormonism is not 'true'.
I'm not holding my breath.

Re: NYT Op Ed on New Challenge to Prop 8
The problem of course is that same gender attraction hasn't been defined as a suspect class - largely on the basis that it it doesn't seem to be defined as an immutable trait - ... Can you substantiate that? I mean, the "immutable trait" test doesn't appear to be the major factor in deter...

Re: NYT Op Ed on New Challenge to Prop 8
The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the right to marry the person you love is so fundamental that states cannot abridge it. This of course, simply isn't true. The Supreme Court has not determined that polygamy is acceptable, or that marriages between close relatives is acceptable, and so on....

Re: Obama is not eligible for President and how it's covered up
Kind of ironic that you want more proof of the real birth certificate, but you don't require the same of the gold plates, no? Perhaps you should just pray about it.

Re: Why Does Bill Hamblin Hate Sunstone?

This is the first time in 6 years that I won't be getting BYU season tickets. Yeah, i'll still watch them on TV and root for them, but the lds church will ne...

If so, does this constitute an admission on the part of the church that the facsimiles are not what Joseph claimed they are? What about fac. ...

Re: Missing Papyrus
There could theoretically have been a core of some kind, but there is no evidence that there was, and quite often papyrus rolls were just rolled up like a towel with no core at all. Hoffmann states that wrappings cannot be actualized below a length of ~ 2.5-3 cm, so the very innermost wrappings hav...
