Since the members of this board have the expertise, experience and education, my suggestion is for Cassius University to hold its First Educational Continuing Seminar for Apologists (FECES). This seminar would be free to LDS apologists. My proposed agenda would be:
9:00-10:00 "Why It's Probably Not a Good Idea to Degrade Women in a Public Forum" Presentation by Dr. Cam
10:00-12:00 "How to Not Win Friends and Not Influence People Online, A Brief Retrospective of DCP" Presentation by DarthJ
12:00-1:00 A light lunch of NeFries and Waters of Mormon will be served in the Cassius Center for International Studies
1:00-3:00 "Why Stealing is Probably a Bad Idea for Apologists and Other Nuggets of Wisdom" Presentation by Dr. Scratch
3:00-5:00 Q&A session and special rap muscial number "If I Could Hie to Kolob" by Dr. Kishkumen
I think if Cassius University and its faculty would commit to this seminar, you would see a vast improvement in many of these apologists' behavior. What say you?
You need a session on why lying for the lord in the internet age is most likely a losing strategy

bc, I have to admit that I admire your dogged commitment to your beliefs despite all evidence to the contrary. Many have made very valid criticisms against the church, but none of those have swayed you. Please do continue to defend the undefendable.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
