Lets see here, we spoke of what a testimony is and how it is not an accurate method of determining truth.

On a personal basis, or as a collection of testimonies collected over thousands of years that testify of the same thing?

So now it's a numbers game?? Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Gaz, but Mormonism doesn't have the numbers.

The people of the Bible, the people of the Book of Mormon, the mebers of the church of this dispensation.......

I fail to see a single insult in my entire post. It is a considered analysis of Mercury's personality and motivations for being here, holding the positions he does, and expressing them in the manner he expresses them.

Now, go back and read Mercury's posts in this thread, which are the soil from which my perspective sprouted.

Or does the agenda preclude such an honest appraisal of Mercury's rabid, juvenile demagoguery?

Of course you don't...

Admitting you have a problem is the first step, Cogs.

I stand by each and every point I made about Mercury above. I've been reading his posts and responding to them since this board began, and these are my impressions of him based upon the manner in which he has presented himself here.

If I wanted to insult him, I would have done so.

On the fact, experienced directly by myself as a missionary and many others who have also expressed the same overwhelming consensus. Moroni 10 clearly sets up the Mormon "testimony" for failure. 199 out of 200 individuals who I taught the discussions to verbatim found that the Book of Mormon does not deliver "the spirit" or any other confirmation. Sure, wrap it up in bad procedure as such is routine in explaining away a lack of a supposed spiritual witness, its expected from the faithful.

The thousands of testimonies are drowned out by the torrent of individuals who have prayed and followed "moronis gimmick" and still came up with opposite conclusions. The Mormon testimony is neither reliable or consistent.
