Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
MG, this is exactly what happens when you superficially throw out concepts without understanding them. When you invoke constructionism, you forfeit any claim to any access to objective truth. Full stop. You cannot claim superior access by invoking God, or the promptings of the spirit. The entire LD...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
I’ve moved posts that discuss the quote from Brooks’ book on constructionism to a pre-existing thread where the same quote is the topic. https://discussmormonism.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=158676&start=10 UR 4 I do not agree with the splitting up of what I believed to be an on topic conversation. It’s...

Re: Numbers...
Once upon a time there was a boy named Chad. Chad believed that he had access to special, divine knowledge that others did not have. He realized that his special access to special knowledge gave him the responsibility to share that knowledge for the good of others. He shared his special knowledge th...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
Welcome back MG. I hope you and yours are well. I’ll keep things rather limited so that I don’t get things too riled up! In the past I’ve spread myself a bit thin by trying to put myself into too many conversations at once. And also feeling as though I needed to ‘be there’ to the end. No more. Here...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"

There is the objective reality of what happens, and there is the subjective reality of how what happened is seen, interpreted, made meaningful. That second subjective layer can sometimes be the more important layer. As the Yale ps...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
Welcome back MG. I hope you and yours are well. Welcome also to the postmodern revolution. Has accepting concepts like “race is a social construct” given you any cognitive dissonance. I agree that cutting folks more slack should be a consequence of adopting a constructionist (often referred to as so...

I will not make up some disingenuous excuse to avoid questions I don’t want to answer. Some MTP (Moderator Type Person) eradicated my EITPQ (Earthquake Invitation Type Poll Questions), but marring it as was did fulfilled prophecy, so thanks whoever it was, for playing your part.

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.
You’re confusing two different issues. Keeping the jurors safe from harassment and threats is the primary concern. Prohibiting disclosure of any information that would help identify jurors is a perfectly reasonable approach given the extent of thuggish behavior by members of the public. Trump was f...
