Re: Why does God waste so much time?

Why did God waste so much time having the world age so long, with species evolving over eons of time, when He had the power to create the world and place man on it in six days? Do you really think you can have your religion and your science too? This makes the arrogant assumption that we are the on...

Re: My Santa Claus Experience

When I was a little kid, I firmly believed ... . Now, I will admit that I cannot prove with certainty that Santa is not real. My conclusion that Santa is not real is based on the current state of the evidence, and it may theoretically be possible that some evidence will come along someday to change...

Diary of a Mad Apologist

Entry 1: Today I, Dr. Peterson, slayed "my malevolent stalker" Dr. Scratch about "reasonable observers" PMs. Dr. Scratch doesn't even realize I pwned him today. Critics on MDB don't get it. They just have no spiritual vision. I relish and delight in these little soirees. Doing it...

Re: Books I Haven't Read 1: The Vision of the Annointed

What's the point of this post, exactly? I've seen you do this a number of times, Dan: you've apparently been reading Kishkumen's posts, and then you pop in to kick him in the teeth like this. I've lost track of the number of times you've done this to him. So what's the story? What's the origin of y...

Re: DCP's "Origin Story"

Over on the ironically named Mormon Dialogue board, posters have been promoting Dr. Peterson's interview with Dan Wotherspoon. I was intrigued by this and so I've been giving it a listen. I'm only through the first section, but I happened upon a fascinating revelation. As some here know, I at one p...

Re: A question for the critics

Do you think the average general authority... 1) ...sincerely believes they are leading God's one and only true church and that they are receiving direct revelation from God about how it is to be run? 2) ...is aware that the church isn't exactly what it claims to be, but believes it does so much go...

Re: Don Bradley’s Kinderhook Bomb

Mr. Nightlion, is your thesis that the KPs were made up by someone that had access to the Anthon 'caractors' and that Joseph Smith, Jr. immediately recognized them for the fraud that they were? Who do you think in Joseph Smith, Jr.'s inner circle, with access to the Anthon caractors before their pub...

Re: Can we get past the impasse?

Is there a parallel between Simon Belmont resorting to asking how we can prove anything, including ourselves, exist and now stemelbow being reduced to trying to distinguish between 'self-serving' and other lies, both in efforts to salvage some respectability for Joseph Smith, Jr. and their thinning ...
