It's just really odd that she would ok allowances to be made for you and then come out with that kind of statement. Unless, that is, one of the other Mods reinstated you without her knowledge or prior approval....which is highly unlikely.
Like I said, the only thing that makes sense is that she really, really dislikes me.
MAD is an apologetic board. It depends on apologetics. The problem is simple. Everything has been discussed thousands of times. How much can one discuss the issues over and over again?
Eventually, the board needs to regroup and wait for the next challengers. But even then, the same issues will be discussed. At the moment everyone is taking a breather on MAD and are now speaking small things. This is natural. Lets face it, how much can one safe about Joseph Smith and Mormonism? How many times can one repeat oneself over and over again?
All controversy about Mormonism ends in a draw as it is designed to do since burden of proof cannot be proven.

No scrap. I just got IP banned or something. Maybe some of the female MODS were jealous cause I wasn't flirting with them or something.

Obviously, spiritual claims are beyond the "burden of proof," but Mormonism makes many claims that are verifiable and testable. There's no "draw" for these issues, despite what some apologists tells us.

I haven't seen the knockout punch yet. Even Uncle Dale hasn't provided the knockout punch. No, the apologists are doing quite well. Can one prove Mormonism? Never. To prove Mormonism true is to prove that god exists. And such is not the way of god. Faith, my friend, is what religion depends on.

I suspect that the knockout punch is in the eye of the beholder. As long as you're determined not to see any evidence as anything other than speculation, you are unlikely to ever see a knockout punch, no matter how solid the evidence.

I noticed that you're not listed as "banned," but the end result is the same, isn't it?
Sorry, Bond.
Yep....not banned. I thought it might be a glitch or something so I've tried it using proxies and on different computers....I log in and boom. NO ENTRY.
Oh well. At least I got to 300 posts!

I see circumstantial evidence. But I don't see much more. I have also seen hypothetical illustrations but that is not good evidence either.
An individual would need to take a logical leap or an illogical leap to reach a conclusion and whether one embraces either leap will depend on just what he or she wants to believe.
