Mopologetics and the Concept of “Sheeple”

A very (unintentionally) funny entry appeared on SeN today. In it, the Proprietor describes a visit to a New Zealand ranch where they were treated to a show of sheep being sheared. Dr. Peterson notes that he was impressed by the “speed” at which the wool was sheared away, but as you might guess, he ...

Re: Louis Midgley Issues Another Threat to Gina Colvin: "She deserves a good trashing."

It is absolutely hilarious and all too fitting that DCP is threatening to ban someone for quoting the Lord’s Anointed. Right, Imagine if they were quoting the Encyclopedia of Mormonism or something from FROB. No problems then. It’s a reminder of how much of a mask DCP’s daily posts are. He seems to...

Re: Why DCP’s Proposed Beatitudes Book is Problematic

Thank you for bumping this thread, drumdude. Perhaps we should resurrect it each year, sort of like how he does with Bond’s comment about Interpreter? My prediction, by the way, was this: So long as he continues to pretend that his behavior hasn’t hurt people, he will never finish another book. His ...

Re: Bushman Delivers Another Devastating Blow

Great post, Reverend. It’s really remarkable: the Mopologists sunk a million dollars into a “theatrical film”—a box office bomb, by the way—as an attempt to undo the problems posed by Harris’s own words.

Bushman Delivers Another Devastating Blow

Despite their claims to the contrary, it would seem that the eminent historian Richard Bushman is *not* the Mopologists’ friend. I’m sure that longtime readers remember Bushman openly upbraiding the classic FARMS apologists for their aggressive tactics, for example. And some of his historical writin...

Re: Another false dilemma from DCP: Prophet or Fraud

Moroni: Here, Smith, take these plates. You won't use them for anything, and you can only show them to a few unconvincing witnesses before I take them away forever again, but you have to make a big point of claiming to have had them for a while. Smith: Why? Moroni: See, in the distant future there ...

Re: DCP goes all-in on pseudo scientific quackery

CFR: I dispute this part "for years, I dismissed all parapsychological claims as baseless nonsense." Can he provide one quote from his former self criticizing paranormal claims? Exactly. How is it that angels showing up with gold plates is believable to him, but “parapsychological claims” used to b...

Re: Mopologetics and Religious Surveys

Can you cite a single incident, in all of "SeN" or FARMS or all the message board posts, where there is a sign that Mormonism has helped the Mopologists to be better people? No, not a single incident. Every evidence is that Mopologetics makes a person insensitive, angry, and tribal. The case of Joh...

Re: Mopologetics and Religious Surveys

I'd like to point out another gaping problem with his analysis. Joseph Smith said that a religion that doesn't require the sacrifice of everything is worth nothing (I think he did, at least). Was religion good for Joseph Smith's health? Was it good for the 12 apostles' health? Was it good for the h...
