I think you've got it, Philo! You've definitely got it! The mopologist method of causal relationships... any little, teeny-tiny (albeit vague, or even totally unseen by the rest of the world) comparison means... there's a chance! Probability be damned-- There's definitely a non-zero chance!!! :lol:...

I hear ya. I obviously have FairMormon has lost it, on my mind, and am trying too hard to reiterate that point. You make an excellent point. No problem. I agree, Obviously fairmormon is scrambling to justify this on many different levels. in my opinion, they are on very shaky ground. But if you com...

For certain values of "stunned".

At the very least we need to know if they were stunned before or after the presentation.

In a week or less these TITS videos have garnered a number of views that FAIR would normally only dream of. Tossing in a few disclaimers is well worth it, I'm sure. Enduing these moments of complaint is well worth it too. The complaints die down and the long term benefit of inoculating, as I'm sure...

... Who is the signatory John L? He's the guy from the Ayn Rand novel, isn't he? No, wait, that's John Galt. There's a statue of John Galt in Greenock, Scotland, where he died - but that's a different person from the one in Atlas Shrugged . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Galt_(novelist) I belie...

It's fascinating how he works his own importance into the Mopologist narrative. Oh, boy. You’ll love this one then: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeterson/2020/12/berlinski-imagines-borges-imagining-literary-evolution.html#disqus_thread I must also add the following comment, which came to my min...

Welcome Mixman. I hope you enjoy being here. What do you think about the response you received? I think he deflected my response and then shifted the conversation to make me look like I didn't even watch them. I find it gross that he thinks the videos are doing good to the youth of the church. If t...

They attacked the original CES letter for being amateurish - not up to their standard, I guess. Then when the author made improvements, they attacked it for not being the straightforward letter that it started out as. And still, after all this time, they find just 44% of the latest document to be e...

These videos give solid refutations of critical claims by the CES Letter. If youth dismiss the letter as a result, we believe that is a good result. Inasmuch Jeremy Runnels fabricated a narrative that the letter is the result of sincere questions (he mined the ex Mormon sub-reddit for his questions...

My feeble little mind seems to conclude that Quacko did not make or endorse the violent video but simply retweeted it. BUT, his big mistake was in retweeting it. He should not have done that. To make matters worse he did not condemn it. I understand he hasn't graduated from BYU? Could it be that th...
