And my subsequent response to him.

Hope this helps. 🎅

Res Ipsa is the man today. It’s worth the investment of time in this instance. Generally, he brings up some interesting points/questions. Although this time around I think he was borderline snarky.

Your responses recently have been short and succinct. Probably better to keep it that way. 😉

For further reading and consideration your assignment is to review my earlier comments to you on this thread. ;) :) :P

The content of that video, if the words used are what you are meaning to say, are beneath you IHAQ. At least I would have thought so.

Gross and somewhat sickening.

Or as you might (would) comment: Brilliant! :lol: Priceless!

Needless to say, all opinions and pointed barbs have probably run their course now on this thread.

Along with some interesting forays into Fine Tuning and Abiogenesis. That was fun. 👍

God has commanded us to love ALL His children. Even those that have left the family of God behind and gone their own way.
When you have to modify your "God has commanded us to love" statement with "Even those [who} have left," you kill your credibility. It kind of suggests you might not quite believe it and serves to make the statement into a passive-aggressive swipe.

Some examples:
  • I love all races. Even Hispanics.
  • I believe all people have rights. Even gays.
  • I think every person can reason. Even Mormons.
See what I mean?
  • God has commanded us to love ALL His children. Even those that have left the family of God behind and gone their own way.
You complain about someone putting up a harmless link about trolls, while you post in this manner all the time. This is the stuff Res Ipsa is referring to.

Making it up as you go along vs being guided via revelation from god.......?


Remember the time the church spent millions of dollars on the "I'm a Mormon" campaign only to have the church leader a few years later try to erase the use of referring to members as "Mormon"?

But you are ignoring my questions.
1. Is gambling a sin?
2. Does the church have an official position on child marriage?

Said in another thread, but perhaps more applicable in this one

Using Jesus to bait secularists is not about unity, but even if it were, it is only a convenient platitude because once that unity comes, the wars then happen over minor theological differences. And that's because theological beliefs are merely symbolic; they map to underlying economic concerns that are the real cause of tension. The problem is, the entire premise of religious faith is to not see past the superficiality of one's beliefs...
