Re: LDS.org posts Book of Mormon translation that opposes Peterson's PBS one

harmony "Try to remember who you're commenting to. I already know the truth." When a Mormon says that, that we already have the truth, we are mocked, spit on, ridiculed, accused of being braindead and occultists, biased, idiots, morons, dippy testimony farts, and what have you. So why sho...

Re: LDS.org posts Book of Mormon translation that opposes Peterson's PBS one

Don't blame Daniel for the lies the church tells. Indeed. Professor Peterson has done an admirable job in trying to set the record straight: The Brigham Young University professor of Islamic studies and Arabic also sought to dispel some of the myths* surrounding the Prophet's translation of the scr...

Re: DCP for president?

Holy smokes. Wow. I am just blown away by the arrogance of this. "At least one friend"? Tell me, Dan: do you have any "friends" who possess traits other than obsequiousness? And "right on every issue"? Uh, yeah. Big surprise there. I'm sure you're 100% right on your sp...

Re: LoaP Invites Me to Lunch

I know practically nothing about Mister Scratch other than his seeming online obsession with DCP and "mopologetics." Until you told me otherwise, I believed MS was a woman. Perhaps Mister Scratch is Mike Quinn? Scratch certainly seems sore about Quinn's treatment at the hands of DCP, and ...

And perhaps that has something to do with your inability to abide by that board's rules.
