Brilliant.
Must have been refering to 'Origin Of the Species' I guess... :D

Evangelicals proof text as much as Mormons. When I was a hobby apologist I just got tired of arguing with the EVs. We just continued to talk past each other. And Mormons are not going to prove all their doctrine from the Bible, nor should they, based on the fact they believe in an open Canon. For EVs if it ain't in the Bible and if it ain't interpreted the way they do, you are flat out wrong. What was the use?
Edit:Runtu, I see you were saying the EVs were proof texting.
This is the best thing to happen to MAD in a long time, since now they have some easy targets.

I had a similar reaction in another thread, and told them I was now excusing myself from their Harry Potter convention. (They were arguing about the true shape of god, as a homo sapien or just a spirit. One LDS apologist thinks god could be a human but without any DNA.)

This person is absolutely right. Glenn Howard Griffin's defense attorneys have already established that since DNA evidence does not support the Book of Mormon, DNA must not be true. Things that aren't true don't come from God, so it's only logical to conclude God has no DNA.
That was probably the thought process involved in formulating that hypothesis.

And yet DNA is found throughout an organism, is it not? And resurrected beings are flesh and bone; they only lack blood, if I rememeber the mythos correctly...
When things get to this level there is a certain pleasure that can be derived from the general wackiness of the terms of the debate. However, I find that fun to be short lived unless in the very capable hands of a genius nutjob like John P. Pratt---who I notice has been absent for a long time from Meridian.

Hell has taken the official position that God has the DNA of a mentally maldeveloped sloth. All insinuations contrary to this are obviously propaganda.

So I guess that means that the image of God portrayed on South Park is the most accurate?

Still waiting for Will to back this up...

I didn't miss it...... I try not to watch.
Livened things up? We must have different definitions of liveliness. ;)
My brain fuzzes over and my tongue lolls out of my mouth with all the scripture spewing.
