Oh man, the can of worms is wiiiiiide open. Yeah, and I gotta get back to work. :) I agree with you that atheism is not a religion (for most people), and that it is a worldview on par with the idea that a generic "theism" is a worldview. I didn't want to get sucked in to this thread (due to lack of...

Ok. So expertise on God is someone with expertise in one of these fields? You'll notice that in my original comment about Dawkins writing "outside his area of expertise," I never labeled that expertise as "God." When you continue to do so, it seems like you're attacking a strawman. I was referencin...

Who considers God inside their area of expertise? People who imagine he's there? Well this thread took a turn! Which I suppose is my fault, sorry. To your first question, there are indeed many whose expertise includes philosophy of religion, metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, theology, biblical stu...

Long before any of the Brethren became apostles, they had lifetimes of lowering expectations (in terms of fundamentalist truth content), making decisions "for the greater good" despite their questions, and submitting to the party line. This is exactly right. And also remember, that these men are sl...

Infinity balls’ excellent religious adventure sounds pretty interesting to me. Not sure I know anyone who went from Mormon to Catholic. I’d be interested in hearing about it on another thread not so far away. It's really not that exciting (though I love the idea of "excellent religious adventure")....

I'm not sure if you were thinking I'm an exmo? But for clarity, I am a never-Mo. I would describe myself as a non-denominational Bible believing Christian. Ah. I didn't realize. I can't keep track of who is who on this forum, just getting used to it. Who is Dawkins? :) Just some guy who writes book...

Ok I went and listened (at 1.5x speed) and it seemed like a lot of speculation and shaky inference. To outline, the basic idea is this: 1) Pres Nelson claimed the November 2015 Policy was "revelation" and was prayerfully discussed among multiple Q15 members (in the clip provided, Nelson keeps using ...

Hey infinityball :lol: Glad you liked my joke. It's my standard way of disarming other exmos who can't believe that I'm still religious and became Catholic of all things. Usually works. I know it's failed when someone asks if I've read Dawkins. Yawwwn. Anyway, this is DiscussMormonism and not Discu...

There can be precious little doubt now that all the leadership is faking it, and they KNOW it's all a put on. I'm going to watch the video right now, but in advance I'll just say this: I know members of the Q15 (yes yes I know, brag brag brag) in a capacity where I have had personal conversations w...
