I think the ignore feature on a forum is vile. Think about it. You're posting comments and you don't even know there are people who don't see them. You've been made invisible and you don't even know it. A virtual sharia law has been imposed, and you don't even know it. Foul. Venal. Blech. Too bad pe...

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof." -Marcello Truzzi What's that hombre's name who claims to be Jesus returned? I think he lives in Miami? He has a HUGE following in the Latino community, and has made MILLIONS off their credulity. In other words, he gained more followers th...

I think the format is fine the way it is. There are reasons why you have the different forums. The problem, really, is that some posters want more attention on the Terrestrial forum, but can't handle free speech (warts n' all). This is a tempest in a teacup, and really, if the posters who get their ...

The fact of the matter is that there isn't a point other than to exist and make your own existence meaningful to you. If you want to look at it from the Mormon paradigm, Mormon gods doing what they do simply is the answer to the quandary of an eternal existential crisis. The Plan of Salvation provid...

The only thing I can offer you is an anecdotal co-worker story. My co-worker is a typical Southern Baptist/EV/Nu Southern Christian (It's all pretty much the same here in the Dirty South). They think everyone else is going to Hell in a handbasket. So. When Romney announced his decision to drop out o...

I've long wished that I could find the kind of discussions of Mormon history I would like to participate in here. I agree whole heartedly. I have been on these boards for about 5 years now . There has yet to be a board where people regularly have the kind of discussion of Mormonism that I am intere...

I'm a huge fan of free speech as long as you don't upset me. I see what you're attempting to do. It's a nice thought, but who's to say that you're concept of communicating is any better than what's going on now? Your sensibilities, and what you think you need from an online exchange may very well b...

Mr. Marher is, not to put too fine a point on it, an airhead; one of the most uneducated and uninformed pundits on the American scene. That he is a left wing airhead makes him all the more grating, as this ideology gives him an ethical freedom similar conservatives do not, as a general rule, enjoy....
