Has an apologist ever defended something and it turned out to be false?
I had a good laugh reading some of the responses. In typical fashion hardly anyone can give a straight "yes" or "no" answer. There is are also some funny responses from the kool-aid drinkers trying to put a positive spin on FARMS defense of the Salamander Letter. The letter was a hoax, FARMS defended it, they were wrong. End of story right? Not according to many of the MD&D folks.

I'm surprised that they've continued this policy. I don't know why the remaining critics continue to engage them over there since now there can't be that many lurkers. It gets annoying having to repeatedly clear their cookies.

"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."
As I was pursuing that thread, I seemed to notice that some of the posters were stating that Joseph Smith may have translated the Book of Mormon by just looking at the plates. Did anyone else notice that?
