Re: Gemli explains...
I believe things that are not implied by any incontrovertible evidence, that's true, but I don't think I believe anything that is inconsistent with any incontrovertible evidence. This is where theists plant their flag. I believe because I believe but there are zero methodologies that can dispute me...

Civility alert. Dan has his finger on the trap door button and this might be the one that sends Gemli to the hounds. A tissue sample.

Re: Gemli explains...
Sincerity of a question asked to god is simply a series of turn-key moments designed to arrive at one answer. Sincerity is pivotal through every phase of the testimony building process. Simply using it as proof that the end result is true isn't required because it is self evident to the believer. Th...

Re: Mormon divorce rates
You are correct. Sexism is built into Mormon God’s grand design. Brigham Young: “Relief Society -going to meet again - I say I will curse every man that lets his wife or daughters meet again -until I tell them -What are relief societies for? To relieve us of our best men -They relived us of Joseph ...

Re: Gemli explains...
It is explicitly written in Moroni's promise. so I was mistaken. I thought I was to pray to get closer to realizing the truth. I did not realize I was supposed to be exercising my sincere desire to believe. That is tricky as my desire to believe wavered sometimes due to a variety of reasons. Perhap...

It is explicitly written in Moroni's promise. Then comes Moroni's promise: “If ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things

Re: Gemli explains...
The Mormon testimony bearing is all about the sincerity of their beliefs as a justification to others and themselves. Afterall Packer did say “A testimony is to be found in the bearing of it!”.

Re: Ed Goble Podcast now up
Thanks for the podcast I enjoyed it. You were the first person that pointed out that some of Mormon scripture was founded on grave robbing. And worse they embrace it. They reinterpret it for self promotion. Recall how Charlotte Haven witnessed Joseph Smith's nutty mother picking up a leg bone of on...

Re: Manti Temple Open House
I always thought LDS temples were the greatest waste of money. A super tent, made with super material could be used, divided especially in the spring, summer and fall. The money not spent would help people and bring great happiness. Let's take $290,000,000.00 spent on the Kirkland Temple. How many ...

Re: I Can't Eye-Roll Hard Enough Over DCP's Latest
We do have the tattooed Mormon Al Caraway. Such a good idea. A tattoo for every uninformed item that missionaries and leaders leave out of lessons or talks. Items that create havoc later in life. Things like a tenuous or absent retirement savings. Things like the Ghosts of eternal polygamy. Uninform...
