Wild how people who have direct access to eternal truths, and divine morals and ethics tend to reliably just end up being products of their time.
Current prophetic leadership is the exception. Amiright?

So, we’re taking A.I.-generated texts seriously enough to start threads on now?
Text produced by an advanced AI could be indistinguishable from that authored by a deity, hence exercising caution is recommended. This response was generated by an AI.

Re: Doubt & Questioning a Contradiction to Faith?

Conclusion Whether the views opposite to those presented in the article make people "better" depends on how one defines "better" in the context of religious faith and community life. For some, spiritual growth and community cohesion are best achieved through strict adherence to established doctrine...

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

I assume everyone is sitting alone on their computers or phones. Maybe no one is around but the dog or cat. Maybe a house plant or a clown chotchke. You're totally alone. Say "Mormon". Easy. Now say the "N" word. Did you say the "N" word? No right? Then stop it with these comparisons. I'm alone. I ...

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

So when this guy hears them introduce the choir at General Conference he thinks to himself they are saying the equivalent of "N-word Tabernacle Choir"? And what about the "Book of N-word"? Mormons Oneandonlytrueandlivingchurchofjesuschristians are getting weirder by the minute (Hinckley's protestat...

Re: Latter-day Saints have the highest rate of weekly church attendance

Simple math will tell you that this percentage is not based on the membership numbers the church reports. Church claims 17,000,000 members. Church says there are about 24,000 wards. 17,000,000 divided by 24,000 = 708 members per ward. 708 x 67% = 481 members in the pews each week. My guess that even...

Re: Temple Sealings of Dead People that Were Married More than Once

The devil is in the details. For fun, try and get a Mormon to explain how it’s all going work. Very quickly they’ll turn to “God will sort it all out, we just need to have faith” as a way of ending the chat. It always leads to that, at which point I ask: "What is the point of claiming to possess Go...

Re: Why was the Book of Abraham written in Egyptian and not in Greek?

I believe that the LDS Apologist position has been that when the Book of Abraham was taken to Egypt, it was translated in Egyptian there. LDS Apologist John Gee stated : Nothing compels us to assume that the book of Abraham must necessarily have been written by Abraham in Egyptian and preserved in ...
