Re: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints lost $12.1 billion — so far — in 2022
. . . to $40.3 billion as of the end of September, its third consecutive quarterly decline. . . Its worth climbed from a three-year low of $29.9 billion seen in early 2020 to a peak of $52.3 billion in late 2021[.] So, the $100 billion net worth is a myth? No, the $100 billion figure isn't a myth, ...

Re: A thread dedicated to A.I. debating the decline of Mormonism.
Despite facing challenges and controversy in recent years, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the Mormon church, has continued to experience growth. According to data from the church, membership has increased by over two million people since 2007, with congregations n...

Re: Interpreter celebrates 10 years of real evidence and cogent argument
"I really take Interpreter to be a bit of an antidote to what the rest of the world currently has to offer in terms of intellectual discussion."

Re: Why did the Restoration need the Book of Mormon?
I don't see the point of this "rebuttal." It is absolutely absurd to posit that every detail of every practice in Mormonism must be contained in the Book of Mormon in order to see the logic of the Book's place and essential role in the origins and evolution of the faith. That would be like saying t...

Re: Why did the Restoration need the Book of Mormon?
I fundamentally disagree with the idea that the Book of Mormon is followed by a big disconnect that leaves the book essentially orphaned, more important to Joseph Smith in its production than in its existence as part of the Restoration. Rather, the Book of Mormon is the seed that the Restoration br...

On this forum every once in a while someone will mention polygamy in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as if that's a guaranteed way of scoring points against that church. I would say the guaranteed way of scoring points against the Church is to look at the details of how Joseph Smit...

Re: Red Wave
You want to diversify? Fantastic. Going all in is nuts. I guess we'll find out. No offense but didn't you believe Veritas's economic predictions in 2020 after the Democrats took control of Congress and the presidency? My diversified portfolio still lost at least $12k last year.... Hmmm. It reminds ...

Re: Peterson violates his own "first rule"
A corollary to Peterson's First Rule for the Study of Other Religions and Worldviews could be called Analytics' First Rule for the Introspection of Your Own Religion and Worldview: if a substantial number of number of sane, intelligent, and informed people believe that your own religion is utterly w...
