Cog's is just mad because no one will play with him over at MADB.

Seems odd you spend so much time here bathing in the attention of ex-mormons...



Actually I don't. I am now limiting my posting to approximately once a week.

For obvious reasons...

Can you let us know in advance what day that will be? I don't want any surprises.

Looking forward to the rest of the week :)

Has DCP suggested a coronation date yet? I'm sure that bunch of yahoos would give him an academic knighthood if you let them, and he'd accept. Me thinks they do back pat too much.

The Holy Ghost and Jesus are among the greatest Mormon intellectuals of all time. Yes; I'd be interested in reading Prof. Christ's doctoral dissertation.


LOL. Yeah, being an Internet Mormon, and one of shall we say, modest gifts in the general area of interest for that thread must be quite a frustrating plight.

There are plenty of brilliant people who apply their intelligence pragmatically and are not intellectuals at all. Then there are plenty of idiots who are intellectuals. I'm dying imagining the Holy Ghost and Christ as intellectuals, splitting hairs over the grand principles of the universe as laid out in the Father's Encyclopedia of Godhood.

Don't feel too bad. This wasn't nearly as vulgar as it was simply vacuous.

But you should feel bad about being intellectually vacuous as well as boorish.


And you're always an example of proper decorum?

No doubt there's a reason you're so often here about the boorish and vacuous, no?

"Mormon intellectual" is an oxymoron.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Wheres the women here, and where is my sammich.


I think your'e wrong many times over by under-estimating women's wit.
One example I can give you is Carrol Lynn Pearson. I'm sure lots of Dimwit Brass tried to
keep her in check, however she has way too much respect and support from mainstream
LDS.
