Re: Mormon leaders do not have any powers of discernment
I have a child hood friend that is in the church just for his wife. He served on many High Councils for over 25 years. Problem? Each year when March madness starts with college basketball he would go with his lawyer friend to Vegas for the weekend. And they didn't drink postum. Next Sunday and the s...

Re: Confidential confession works for the truly penitent child sex abusers
The ridiculous belief system that Mormonism has requires Bishops to mistakenly believe they have supernatural powers to be able to tell the truth about abuse claims, to know when a victim is lying, and to know when a child molester has changed his ways and will molest no more. These aren't just you...

Re: Confidential confession works for the truly penitent child sex abusers
Here here, Marcus. I’m so disgusted by this one that I can’t really separate the people from the organization any more. Something got rewired in me, and now I hold the individuals accountable for this - if they stay in that cult that means they’re ok with this. Funny how so many of these people bel...

Re: God is evil, or likes it, or enjoys it whatever
If you really want to believe something any old argument will do. Or even mere assertion will also do the trick, it seems. Or this. Kerry Muhlestein: “I start out with an assumption that the Book of Abraham and the Book of Mormon, and anything else that we get from the restored gospel, is true... T...

Re: God is evil, or likes it, or enjoys it whatever
If intelligences are co-eternal I often wondered how one intelligence got more intelligent than another. After all, they are both eternal. Sounds like a rigged game. Some spent their eternity learning while others spent it goofing off? That is almost worse. If someone spends eternity goofing off an...

Re: God is evil, or likes it, or enjoys it whatever
Hope you don't mind, MG. I'm going to re-respond to this. I was curious if you think God created the universe, realizing that passage says he created all things. Is the universe all things? Or what is beyond the universe? I ask because some Mormons I've spoken to have suggested God exists inside th...

Re: God is evil, or likes it, or enjoys it whatever
Hi Stem, I don't know if you've ever seen any of the vids from "Mr. Deity" (I believe he's actually an ex-Mormon), but his vid on the problem of evil is fantastic. YouTube Link That was fantastic. And thanks...never heard of him. Deity tried to get them syndicated and they said it just wouldn't wor...

Re: Creepy Jesus
Are robes the most efficient clothing for god maneuverability or are they mainly for asthetics? In Book of Mormonlands, the armor was made out of obsidian. Most likely Hugh Nibley made this discovery. For Mormon artists, it is a quandary over whether to dress God in the traditional priesthood attir...

Re: All atheists should be nihilists
Craig concludes: Now I want to make it clear that I have not yet shown biblical Christianity to be true. But what I have done is clearly spell out the alternatives. If God does not exist, then life is futile. If the God of the Bible does exist, then life is meaningful. Only the second of these two ...
