I see mental is trying to rehabilitate his reputation, yet again. No matter, your arguments are on point. Its obvious his feelings of certainty are driven entirely by his Mormon upbringing, and he is incapable of thinking past that. I hope in real life you are not an analyst of some type. Especiall...

There’s your evidence, honor. The church. MG The institution that caused the Mountains Meadow's Massacre? The institution that adopted racist positions that were so deeply embedded they were behind the southern states in resolving their on-the-books racial discrimination? The institution that is st...

I am wary of being the judge and jury in regards to the life and doings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. I think that's insane. Whether or not he was a trustworthy person affected my life and the life of my family to such a degree it would have been irresponsible to not judge his doings critical. What'...

I was talking with someone in Utah who is with the Urban Land Institute (ULI) about the housing boom and why it seemed immune to the surrounding economic crisis. His comment was that the historic housing needs in the greater SL area has evolved from that of young families looking for a home in which...

Trusted authority. But even then one is left to choose. Regards, MG Interesting. We've established that the historical facts around Joseph Smith don't lend themselves to trust on their own. Instead, you seem to look past them to your faith in God for reasons to believe the Church is trustworthy. Yo...

Back to the OP. This thread has made it readily apparent why these three books won’t see much traction here. Corbridge’s primary question number one gets in the way at the get go. I'd argue the primary person this applies to is you. You're always welcome to come to the table with evidence to share.

I suppose you could have a back and forth public conversation with yourself and demonstrate how it might pan out in a mock up conversation. Hi honor, I hear you are attempting to discuss the probability that there is a god. Hey honor, yeah I am. I previously asserted this was so likely to be true t...

Why I gave that question a 50 is I don't see evidence for the God of the Old Testament or New Testament in the universe. The world described in the Bible seems to be very much of it's time. The Old Testament was a story of a people among many people who grappled with trying to explain the world they...

Acceptable evidence?

What do you have to share?

That's how combating bias works, MG. Put it out there and let's discuss it. See the elephant from multiple angles if you will.

The first of the primary questions Elder Corbridge asks is whether or not there is a Father in Heaven. This would also be the primary ‘purple’ from your questionnaire as far as I can surmise. Everything else, in one way or another, hinges on that. First...do you agree? If so, how would you determin...
