I trust you realize that a cookie can never be all that sharp. If I had to save my life by cutting a rope, I sure hope I'd have something sharper than a cookie at my disposal.

Its only a matter f time until the cognitive dissonance shifts up another gear and he feels threatened by the facts.
Heh. Calling her a douchebag wouldn't have anything to do with her leaving...
I call em how I see em
I sometimes do. You're a smug moron.

Smug? Hell yes. Moron? How so?

Just a general sense I get from what you say and how you say it. It feels like I'm right. As we all know, LDS operate exclusively off their feelings so I'm just gonna go with it.

It's great that defneders of the faith like Charity, The Nehor, Coggins, Gazelem, and others are here, and I hope we get more. Without defenders to debate, this board would turn into another RfM bash fest. TBMs probably already think it is, as it is still skewed heavily on the critic side. Charity, Nehor, et al, you need to tell your friends to get over here.

I'm not sure I'd invite my worst enemy in the Church here. It can be a rollercoaster ride.

If it was a doubting member, I'd send them here rather than other places, which are far less kind to doubters.

I don't think I'd send them to any Internet boards. I'd probably invite them over.
