Thanks for the backup, Kevin. You are exactly right...for this reason have a humbly petitioned the greater minds of the Bloggernacle. I need help, and I'm not too proud to ask for it. The one, great thing that I bring to the table is a kick-ass domain name. The LDS church can eat crap and die for all I care. Same goes for Simon Belmont. He's on my ignore list so I didn't catch his response until Kevin "quoted" him in his response. Simon, maybe someday you'll see your ass-clownery as a mistake and come to your senses. Who knows...I used to be a missionary for the COJCOLDS, and I came to a knowledge of the truth...maybe you can, too??

Also, you used an embedded style sheet, which is an amateur folly. In addition, you haven't used XHTML standards of tag opening/closing (for example, <br>, when standing alone should be <br/>).

Basically, you would be better off having blogger or some other service design the site for you.


Uh, isn't that the point for his request for help?

We definitely need to pool our resources. In that regard the apologists have the truthseekers beat. As much as I hate to admit it, FAIR and the rest of the apologists are better organized, better funded and ban together well - except of course for the Rod Meldrum crowd. So I for one offer any help I can to increase the pro-truth message out there amongst as many good websites as we can.

Eyepatch,

Simon is an expert on making beautiful web pages.

Why don't you just PM him the login and password to the server hosting www.bookofabraham.com and let him work some of his web-design magic?

I'm sure he'd be happy to lend a hand, and in the end the site will look much, much better! I'm sure you can trust him, because he is a Mormon, and because he is absolutely, positively NOT an apologist.

Something to consider...

Oh boy. Such juvenile anger towards the LDS Church. It can "eat crap and die?" You are walking the fine line of anti-Mormonism and pure bigotry, my friend. What, pray tell, did the LDS Church do to you to make you so angry?

I have long ago come to the knowledge of the truth, and that definitely doesn't mean creating hate sites on the Internet.

Hope your site doesn't get hacked.

I return briefly to this board merely to point out that when Belmont makes open or implied threats of using his no doubt superlative technical skills to make a nuisance of himself, the record shows that he is bluffing, or just plain old lying.

Just observe Belmont for long enough, and you can 'come to a knowledge of the truth' too. But perhaps not in the sense that he would wish.

Awesome. Then you will have no problem having a one on one debate about any technical subject?

Calling Paul Osborne... calling Paul Osborne.

Paul had an amazing site but it disappeared. Perhaps he can resurrect it and it can be included in some way.

Also, I think a question/answer type of link would be great...

Ask the questions most people would ask, then have a brief answer and further links.

In other words, most folk probably won't invest the time it takes to really understand all the issues surrounding the Book of Abraham and related documents. But if they had their basic questions answered honestly and clearly I think it would go a long way toward understanding the truth.

Best of luck,
