Re: The Neglected Facsimile: An Examination and Comparative Study of Facsimile No. 3 of the Book of Abraham, Quinten Bar

I honestly don't know if I care anymore. I seem to be shifting and losing interest. What to do? I don't know. Does anyone give a ____? I can guarantee you people care Shulem, lurkers vastly outnumber the small pool of people who actually post and there are people who read every word you write on th...

Re: Death of Tom Kimball

I can confirm that I was not Tom Kimball. I also did not know, nor did I have any type of relationship with, him. I knew nothing about his personal history. As a secondary subject of this thread, I will note that an active member of this board asked me 12 years ago via PM here if I was Tom Kimball,...

Re: Tales From The Reverend’s Office: Why Won’t Daniel Peterson STFU?

Part 2(h): Epistle to The North African We have a good working idea of what induction is now. We know the meta-argument used in ‘The Reasonable Leap into Light: A Barebones Secular Argument for the Gospel’ is Bayesian and thus inductive. Does Daniel make a historical argument along inductive lines?...

Re: DCP Explains Why He's a Mopologist (And not a Mere "Apologist")

Isn’t it the only distinctively Mormon item of theology to assert that God is flesh and bone even now, and was once a mere mortal? This seems to me to make it hard to get started on Mormon theology. The being worshipped by Mormons is not what any other viewpoint would recognize as a conception of G...

Re: DCP Explains Why He's a Mopologist (And not a Mere "Apologist")

I cannot help but think that there are all sorts of Mormon books that might be called theological. Well in a certain respect, anyone with opinions and beliefs about God has a theology. And anyone who writes about God is writing a theological work. Same thing can be said for philosophy or science as...

Re: DCP Explains Why He's a Mopologist (And not a Mere "Apologist")

The real question regarding Mormon apologetics, however, is why they take the shape they do. I think the answer is because Mormon illiteracy about Mormon theology is vertiginous in its depths. Mormons practically don't have a theology, which means they wander into a conversation with Christianity u...

Re: DCP Explains Why He's a Mopologist (And not a Mere "Apologist")

More than once, I myself have lamented the time and energy that I’ve felt that I had to allocate to analyzing the works of such relatively dim bulbs as Ed Decker, John Ankerberg, and John Weldon (as here and here), and the effusions of the balmy loon Loftes Tryk... I can absolutely relate to this. ...

Re: Tales From The Reverend’s Office: Why Won’t Daniel Peterson STFU?

I apologize for not responding to people in this thread, but I find that if I spend time on the board it takes away from the efforts trying to finish these little projects I start.

Re: Tales From The Reverend’s Office: Why Won’t Daniel Peterson STFU?

Part 2(g): Epistle to The North African Now to really drive home what both Gadamer and Popper said about induction, it’ll be helpful to return to Daniel Peterson and the provocative glimpse he gave us into the future pièces de résistance of his Mopogetic career: The multi volume set of ‘The Reasona...
