These are what antiMormons and ex mos use. Logical fallacies don't work.

I always thought that was lskinny. Silly me, I had some mental image of analogies to left/right mirror image molecule thingies. The sinster side of apologetics.

Of course it would be iskinny! Once again I have mixed my analogies!

So once again the response is the blatant reversal of roles.

Logic and reason is what "the other side" uses BC, you can't play the game of trying to take the high ground when the forces of Mormonism are laying dead long before they reach the slope of the hill.

Where do you see logical fallacies in use when attacking Mormonism?

Its Lskinny....I think. The message was conveyed.

I don't think bcspace needs to bother replying to you.

Isn't it obvious that advocates of the doctrines of the CoJCoLDS are much more effective at using evidence and logic than their opponents?

The proof of this is surely to be found in the smallness of the number out of the world's billions of people who still refuse to accept conversion to the LDS faith. They are a comparatively tiny bunch of hangouts - some of them claim there are 13 million of them, but those who are in any way active probably only number about 4 million (a number that is probably shrinking). That after more than a century of sending missionaries all over the world to try to persuade people to stop being LDS.

When will these non-Mormons concede that the cards are stacked overwhelmingly against them? They are clearly losing the argument.

Dead of laughter at your ad hominem and thinking the hill was worth taking in the first place.

To keep with the analogy, the church publications and organizations claim they have taken the hill while the forces have never set foot on the summit.

They also report that chocolate rations have been increased and that they have always been at war with Eurasia.

Orwell's "1984" is a very good description of the existing/existed socialism (something I have lived in) and Mormonism (something I know TOO near).

BCSPACECASE brings up a common perception among Mormons, that they are on the high ground. Orwell illuminated the power of propaganda and groupthink. It really helped me gain a proper perspective on how one can be controlled.

Its sad to see BC post the things he does, as I know exactly the gut feeling I had that I knew the chuch was true. This of course combined with the deeper knowledge that it was all a crock of crap.

that's what groupthink does is make you want to believe even if reality paints a different picture.
