Rommelator Lashes Out at Runtu, Ray A

[_harmony]

Take, for example, Jersey Girl's sustained criticism of the new MMM book.

Don't you mean Beastie?

[_Trevor]

Don't you mean Beastie?

D'oh!!! Major gaffe.

I am still holding out hope that Rommelator summons up enough courage to defend his arguments here on this board. Otherwise, it will be obvious to all that he is merely preaching to the choir, and looking to bolster his "shaken faith."

Isn't there some law about shaking the faith of a minor?

Not if it's a misdirected faith, Mok. He will eventually have two choices:

1. It's all a gigantic fraud.

2. I need to understand Joseph Campbell better.

The latter will make him more human and compassionate.

As a reminder, there IS a Celestial forum that is heavily moderated. If he truly wanted to be an apologist then this would be a good opportunity for him to do so withouth having to endure overly disrespectful behavior.

This is why I think they're not serious about what they do. The could leave the safe confines of MAD, but they don't. They know why.

Our mutual hero Joseph Campbell. His soups were good too.

Says the man/woman who won't even reveal his/her Church Membership status, his/her thoughts on Mormon doctrine, or any details about his/her life BECAUSE he/she's afraid of what might happen if he/she did.

If it were revealed that Mr. Scratch is actually Monson, what a wonderful world it would be.

Heh, heh, heh

Think back for a moment: none of us was afraid of standing up to the TBMs, including some rather reprobate individuals such as Pahoran, juliann, and Scott Lloyd, over on the FAIR/MADboard. I myself was called some rather nasty names, but did I cower behind the unbelievably lame excuse that the comments were "over-the-top"? No. I did not.

That's a very, very good point. Now that you mention it, I myself don't recall ever being intimidated by any believer on any board at any time. If I had been invited to a different board to answer for myself to a bunch of believers, I would've relished the opportunity to defend my words.

You are right. Why is it that some believers aren't comfortable discussing Mormon issues in a forum that isn't heavily weighted toward their side?

Good question. I'll bet it's because they're subconsciously aware of the hopeless fragility of their own worldview.

HEY ROMMELATOR: If you're really the great white hope of Mopologetics, if you're really all that Kerry Shirts has you cracked up to be, if you really did whip the opponents of the Book of Abraham, then I hereby challenge you to come and give us the smackdown over here.

You see, my dear Rommelator, it's the very epitome of easiness to assume you're "all that" while tucked away in the safe confines of a group of like-minded folks who wouldn't dream of challenging you. It's something else entirely to throw your hat into a ring full of people who have both the knowledge and the know-how to answer every one of your Mopologetics tit-for-tat.

If you're really "all that," just what are you afraid of? Put your reputation where your mouth is and join us.
