it’s all a very long story that this board has already heard too much of.
Jesus H. Christ, I wish you actually believed it and acted accordingly.

Re: Ed Goble Book of Abraham Podcast now up

Is Ed Goble related to Clark Goble?

Goble wasn't an apologist, but he had some very weird ideas about the philosophical aspects of Mormonism. Nice enough guy who tragically died a few years back.

Re: SeN on Willard Richards: "unusually bright and capable"? Or Delusional and "Obsessed"?

Why can't it be both? In fact, this seems to be a bit of a confessional of DCP. He is bright and capable AND delusional and obsessed. In fact that's kind of a good description of most Mopologetics. None of them seems dull and incapable. All of them are surely obsessed with defending the truth claims...

Don’t call women drama queens.
Drama queen. Your gender is irrelevant to the accusation.

I also tire of addressing them.
Then stop talking about it. It's better for everyone, and most beneficial to yourself.

There's no way, even in principle, for an apologist to judge if references support the truth values of an article or a parallel. They can make up B.S., but they can't detect it.
Slightly altered.
Touche!

Re: “How to build a truth engine”

You do realize that every organization distorts reality in their own way, including the CoC? Not really, it's all variations on a theme. There's very little that is new in Mormonism that requires fresh research to debunk. You seem to have a very misguided view of what A.I. can do. A.I. literally ha...

Re: Transgender

It will be interesting to see how the church deals with this in the next few decades.. I doubt you will have to wait that long. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXVL5AYQ8dY I think the LDS church has already changed its policies vis-a-vis transgender people. If even Jacob Hansen can spot it, it...

Re: “How to build a truth engine”

That last sentence, to me, is key. The big problem with Mormonism is that it simply conflicts with the common understanding of reality. The community of Christ has shown that it is possible, even if it’s painful, to return back to reality. You do realize that every organization distorts reality in ...

Re: RFM and Washington State Bar Complaints

Rosebud, I'd like to congratulate you for being the simultaneously scarier yet paradoxically more boring version of Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Maybe Glenn Close as directed by George Romero? It's quite the accomplishment. Keep taking those bows, it will never get boring and people will never s...

I’m happy to see him step away again.
Why did he go back in the first place?
This is what he does. He's said he's done with it a couple of times already and left, with the declaration that this is it! He always comes back.

See you next time, John Larsen.
