Do you think that is what you are best known for?
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.

I only know you as a fairly low-grade anonymous poster on an anti-Mormon message board. Does that mean that posting nonsense on a message board is your "career choice"?

The difference that you seem to fail to grasp is I post a few times a week on topics that might amuse me such as your bellicose personality. You on the other hand run a multi-million dollar apologetic organization that cons people into believing silly and absurd myths and lies. Oh.. and you teach a class or two a semester.

My "bellicose personality."

Thanks. I got a kick out of that.

Yup. That's our mission.

And produce four translation series within the Middle Eastern Texts Initiative, publish books and articles on Islam, lecture around the world on Islam, and etc.

You post risible nonsense on this board. Oh, and you sleep and you eat. At least, I assume you sleep and eat. (There's no direct evidence for it here, of course.)

Incidentally, what questionable mushroom leads you to imagine that I run the Maxwell Institute?

Oh well excuse me.. you are “a member of the executive council of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship at Brigham Young University” where you "provide an anchor of faith in a sea of LDS Studies".

So who makes up the “executive council” ?
by the way, Anchor of faith? More like a drogue of conjecture..

Have you?

Why don't the other bios on that page indicate themselves as members of the executive council of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship? Did you just feel the need to inflate your position?

edit:
Don’t you have some Islamic writings that need Chamberlainizing ?
