Re: Mormons arguing that “Mormon” is as derogatory as the N-word

If a leader representing the whole religion has requested not to use the term "Mormons" to refer to Latter-day Saints, persons, news and online media proceeding to do so makes it officially a slur, like other slurs, racial or religious. In addition to the history of the word in which it was intende...

Re: The CES Letter

Have YOU read the CES Letter, and I mean truly, madly, deeply read? If not, why not? If so, how has it affected YOUR faith, if at all? Have you truly pondered it? I read it. Pondered it. It did not affect my faith one iota. Not a tad. Not a tidbit. Not a flutter. Not a pinch or a skosh. Not even a ...

We are not totally different from chatGPT. We are somewhat different from it.
Given the fact that human engineers created AI, this is not surprising.

Re: Book of Mormon Geography

And Peterson doesn’t have anything to add other than constant yapping about nothing. But Toto chased the lion before the lion joined the crew, and do a good and wise thing by pulling the curtain back from the Wizard, revealing his true nature. Doesn't seem like a fitting analogy. https://www.peskin...

Re: Events on Earth 2

Can you prove fairies and unicorns don't exist? Fairies, unicorns, and Book of Mormon lands may very well exist on Earth 2. It is after all, the place where all of Nibley's footnotes exist with full documentation and can be read by anyone dressed as a Nephite Priest or Roman Centurian. Well, if you...

Re: Strange Results from Heaven War

Why are these prohibitions from the Heaven War so strange? What's more goofy to me is the idea of a "war in heaven" in the first place. (Rev 12:7-10.) Imagine a bunch "spirits" or "angels" waging all out war against Big Daddy Most High who allegedly possesses all power in the universe. The rebels m...
