Of course, MG could react to this substantive post here, quoted by Lemmie and Kishkumen, or react to the one that lets him play the hurt sensitive Mormon feelings card and so change the subject away from the substance of Darth J's critique. Guess which one he picked? MG, would you mind looking at, a...

Well, it's stupid that missionaries can't seem to understand without being told that it's improper to leave their food wrappers lying around the chapel. As far as food being necessary, though, at least in my mission a mission conference or sometimes a zone conference was held quite far from my areas...

Reframing the evidence, to me, looks more like this: "Well, it's true that the Book of Abraham facsimiles don't appear to have anything to do with Abraham, and in fact are accompanied by translations of the characters that Egyptologists have said are just plain wrong. That being said, I've felt...

Let's say I receive personal revelation that I should quit my job and move to Nebraska, with the spirit telling me that Monsanto will hire me for twice what I make now.

From your link. The United States had gone to war declaring it must destroy an active weapons of mass destruction program. Instead, American troops gradually found and ultimately suffered from the remnants of long-abandoned programs , built in close collaboration with the West. This was aimed at Fr...

You have to not only believe in Jesus, you have to believe in him in the right way. By which I mean you have to believe in the correct way he is, and not only Jesus, but also the Father and the Holy Ghost. The Roman Catholic Church will recognize the baptism of anyone, by anyone, that was performed...

Here's the problem: it wasn't unreasonable to believe Saddam had the weapons, because he had used WMD against his own people. The Kurds had been gassed just 15 years before GWB attacked Iraq in 2003, and chemical weapons are supposed to have been used in the south of Iraq to help quell the uprising ...
