Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Over the years I’ve heard narratives from people that have left the church and they have, in one way or the other, been damaged or hurt. You’ve seen/heard those stories. …saying that people have been damaged or hurt is basically saying nothing. People have been damaged or hurt in every walk of life...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

I do have empathy. I've always had empathy for you. As I do for you and others who have lost their belief/faith in the church. I give you the benefit of a doubt that you’re coming from a good place. A place of stability in your personal life where you are happy and fulfilled. Over the years I’ve he...

Earlier you mentioned that I reminded you of your brother.


Believe me, it’s been all to your benefit. I’ve cut you an extraordinary amount of slack because of it, and assigned you the best of motives.
Gee, thanks.

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Not sure what all of this is, nor what it means… Ah, the old feigning confusion ploy. …or what precipitated the meltdown. Ah, the old meltdown ploy. I mentioned your deception (or what you call a technicality), and now you’re talking about your defensiveness and road to recovery or something like t...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

…the idea that I will cease to exist after death and that nothing mattered in a grand sense is not a comforting thought for me. Does that impact the way you live your life? What is it that you have hope in/for? I came across this organization a while back. You might find it interesting/useful. http...

Re: What happens to the Honest Mormon?

The stakes near the proposed McKinney Temple in Texas were instructed to mention how the height of the temple steeple was essential to the LDS faith at the city planning and zoning meeting. I suspect the Church was trying to push this lie so the steeple height would be less of a stumbling block. Th...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

That's an entirely different question--and includes a concept that no one would disagree with. Of course it's "generally better to have more information on a particular topic than less in order to make reasoned judgments and conclusions." However, you passed off the response to that different quest...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

MG is using a church A.I chatbot to get these answers? drumdude posted a response where he used the LDS Chatbot. Until he did so I didn’t even know there was one. Who would have thought? The church has seemingly really kept up with the times when it comes to the use of technology. I asked the bot h...

On the other hand:
Pi A.I.:

What was your question for the "on the other hand part"?
Is it generally better to have more information on a particular topic than less in order to make reasoned judgments and conclusions?

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Why will even A.I. never tell you that "More information is ALWAYS better"? Because even an inconsistent, partially formed, unsophisticated, dumbass computer program knows a dozen reasons that's not true. Like hippos, potassium, and bees, more information is not always better. You’re right! Pi A.I....
