Re: Adam and Eve: Is there a line apologists won't cross...?

But what makes you assume an apologist would be apposed to ideas before evidence "forces them to reconcile" ? Critics have an unfair advantage, being the ones who get to ask all the questions, and then make all the assumptions. If you ask a question, you'll get your answer. Simple as that....

Re: Adam and Eve: Is there a line apologists won't cross...?

Could it be: Adam and Eve were literal individuals. They were the first INTELLIGENT humans. Earth, life, and "manimals" existed in a telestial state on this planet long before Adam. However, those bipeds held no spark of divinity. Adam and Eve are the parents of modern humanity. They exist...

Re: A made up story of 'faith promoting BS'?

Every one of these "stories" that are told over the pulpit are nothing more than fabrications. While a few might be based(barely) on a true situation, all are socially engineered by psychologists at LDS HQ to trigger confirmations of biases that members had inserted into their minds at a ...

Re: Your thoughts on marijuana? (morally)

Hmmm...I wonder if gramps' response is a sort of performance piece on the effects of pot smoking... I just wanted to pop in now to say I'm glad to see you're sticking around and have started another thread. That first one got kind of rocky, but one's entrance into a new and unfamiliar message board...

gramps wrote:Is smoking marijuana a moral issue? I don't see it that way, at all.

Or maybe your question isn't that simple, really?



You're right.. I guess perhaps, the question would be: can marijuana use be considered a moral issue within the church? Or any wow issue for that matter?

Re: You can't have it both ways

Re: Divorce is in the air (wife caught me looking at porn)

On the off chance you are serious, you might get better results if you refrain from insulting the people you are asking for advice in your opening post, but hey, what the hell. Because I said "chumps"? I didn't literally mean everyone is chumps. I just don't know how to end posts very wel...
