What you really mean is that it would be refreshing if I were to do your homework for you.
This passage has been discussed hundreds of times over the past century and a half. I'm not your research assistant. I'm not going to devote hours to supplying references for you.
If you're interested, do the work.
This is fascinating. In the past, whenever I've told Scratch (and others)I'm not going to do his homework for him, he tells me I'm a coward, he has just kicked my butt, and I've run away to lick my wounds.
This issue of homework seems to come up again and again and again in this forum...
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

I am so old that I can remember when most of the people promoting race hate were white.

1. DCP is talking to Joey, Droopy. Did you know that?
2. You often do run away to lick your wounds. You also fail to do your own homework. For example, you were once embarrassed rather magnificently by Kevin Graham on the issue of the Book of Abraham. You fled to the MAD board in order to try and garner support, and you failed miserably.
Just to remind anybody here who might be interested of what this thread is actually about:

So what? I'm talking about you "and others".

Kevin never embarrassed my regarding the Book of Abraham because none of KG's or Metcalf's criticisms are substantively connected to the real, core issues surrounding the Book of Abraham's authenticity, such as what the text actually says and the connection of this to other ancient texts, traditions, and literary genres.
I really don't care what you think Scratch. When you decide to come clean regarding your real identity and become something more than an anonymous anti-Mormon gadfly hiding behind your screen name and your stack of Quinn books - the only books you own - we can go from there.

Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.
LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

May's not a good time for me, unless the paper's about the relationship of poverty to cultural barriers that keep patients from accessing care, and how my work group can impact those barriers. If that's the case, I'll have a proposal next week. If not, sorry... I have real work to do.
