If you're going to believe in fairy tales, why not go the whole nine yards?


Actually, I agree with you here Buffalo. Why not believe in elves on the moon, even if nobody has yet seen them?

Of course, this does bring up an interesting point for religious people to answer: how is it fair for God to condemn people to hell for not believing in him (or her, or it, or they) when he has provided no evidence to support his own existence and, worse yet, has made it appear that he doesn't exist?

Interestingly, The Matrix and The Truman show are favorites among exmormons. Those movies are also useful to show how churches, like the LDS church, manipulate and control people.

Yeah... Perhaps science is a tool of Satan, but the pyschotic individual known as Scratch is just a tool.

Hi there, Josh. It's unfortunate that you have to resort to name-calling like this. I guess you are essentially admitting that you don't have an actual argument, and that your commentary re: science and Satan was seriously misguided?

What is interesing is LDS are told they are close minded fools with an inability to think for themselves. Yet this groupthink "anyone other than me is stupid" mentality comes more from folks like you than folks like me.

It's unfortunate you have to resort to distortion, smear campaigns, and blatant lies... So does that mean you yourself don't have an actual argument?

Personally I just think you have a mental problem, but then again, I don't obsess with an individual so much I write entire websites on them to cause them personal harm. That's your department.

??? What are you talking about, Jskains? All I did was post a link and some commentary related to your observations on MDD about how science is actually a tool of the Devil. There's no need to get all bent out of shape, my friend.

Doctor Scratch wrote:Anyone perusing the Celestial Forum today will likely have noticed that our dear old friend Josh Skains has returned to MDB---this time to defend his prostate from the devastating effects of coffee consumption. As stalwart as he's been, it appears that he saved his best material for the ironically named Mormon Dialogue board, as this OP clearly attests:


As anyone perusing this board today, Scratch's usual attention whoring begins with another obsessive post on me.

This is a troubling question indeed, and jskains follows it through to the end:



It is? And here I just thought it was a fun topic for an otherwise boring set of usual questions.

This is all very thought-provoking and disturbing. Who but jskains would have ever guessed that Albert Einstain, Jonas Salk, Isaac Newton, Watson & Crick, and V. S. Ramachandran were all tools of the Adversary?


Disturbing? Wow. Perhaps you should not go to the movies, expecially science fiction or fantasy ones. They play with these kinds of thoughts all the time. I find it fun.. You find it disturbing.

Different approaches I guess.

Later, Skains demonstrates his acute knowledge of Satan's meddling in science and invention:


Demonstrates his acute knowledge? Such drama...

"Some have wondered"?


Yes.. I think many can see your behaviors and activities as an exellent example of the dangers of the internet.

Anyways.....

I hope you like your world here, Scratch. This place definatly deserves you. :)

Really? What am I talking about? You have a website in your signature that is nothing more than an ugly smear campaign against other people to insult and harm them.

You pop up every 10 seconds if I ever post dropping distorted facts and sometimes outright lies about me every chance you get. Your obsession disturbes me. Too bad you can't take all that distructive energy and do something helpful. Did you do anything to contribute to the Japan crisis or help a local food shelter? Do you do anything to help your fellow man? Or is your life about insults, attacks, and drama?

Anyways, I am re-adding you to my block list. I don't know why it was off.

Strange.
