Even you have to admit what you've said above isn't true!Philo Sofee wrote: Christiansen is an epic fail. He didn't touch Riskas, he was upset Riskas didn't write the book Christensen wished he had, and then critiqued a red herring/strawman all the way. That was no review of Riskas, that was avoiding Riskas almost entirely.
I don't see why anyone would waste their time with that logorrheic discharge.I take it I am correct then that you have utterly failed to actually read Riskas.
And Riskas got all bent out of shape when someone dared to question him (and he couldn't answer the questions). What does that tell you about the rest of the book? Do you think it's serious scholarship?And su MrStakhanovite took Riskas to task on Nielsen, but he sure didn't refute Riskas on how badly Riskas dismantled Mormonism now did he? Not a bit of it.
And yet, here it stands, as healthy as ever. Moral of the story: no, he didn't.Riskas decimated Mormon apologetics. That's the bottom line.

But Kuhn had important things to say (as did Nielson), and Christensen actually understands the philosophers he cites, unlike Riskas.Gadianton wrote:

gemli is a very timed, cowardly fellow. I doubt that he has whatever it would take to use coercive force. Keep uin mind that he still hides his identity by posting as gemli because he did not want his Roman Catholic employers to know that he was a silly atheist for fear that he "services" would not be needed.

This is a stupid insult by dogmatic gemli. Is it not time that for gemli to be put on a very short leash?
Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion. Anything you say is harmless on this.MG

I see you didn't read Christensen either... it figures. You already know it all and you don't even have to bother to read.MG

I'm guessing that the Poly Sci faculty at BYU requested that a muzzle be applied to Midgley many times.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 11:09 pm- DocLouis Midgley > gemli
