It leads to over 5,000 posts, the result of a simple "Darth J." search. Belmont can't put up, and he can't bring himself to shut up either. Hence the bizarre twitchings we are seeing here.

Is it possible to think even less of Belmont than I did previously?

Why yes! This is not thermodynamics, so there is no absolute zero on the Belmont Scale.
Zadok:
I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

You know, what with EVERY SINGLE POST I MAKE being a gross distortion of the teachings, practices, and policies of the LDS Church, you'd think that you could find one, single example. I'm sure that "Nuh-uh!!!!" was very impressive to your professors in your masters of philosophy program, but maybe we're just not that academic here at The Great and Spacious Trailer Park.

You've had over a year on this thread to make your case, after all.


I didn't say every single post. I said most. For example

search.php?keywords=&terms=all&author=Darth+J&sc=1&sf=all&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search


Which is your favorite misstatement/misrepresentation in that search?

Simon, why are you depriving yourself of the chance to humiliate me and expose me as the disingenuous charlatan that I surely am?

How can I choose a favorite among so many? What is your favorite?

No way, Sox. I'm just getting tired of how we treat each other here (myself included).

Do you treat other posters as you would like to be treated?

I appreciate the snarkiness, but you need to work on your delivery. This 3rd person stuff is not working for you.

Of course it leads to over 5,000 posts. My point is that ~80% of those contain misrepresentations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

So, Deej, pick your favorite.

As I indicated, I haven't always. I try to, now.

I looked through all of them and didn't find a single one. Can you quote one example?

It is not humanly possible to have read 5,000+ posts in the time frame given.

Try again.

I'll bet you'll find one in the first five.

I didn't say anything about what time frame. I'm telling you I've read all his posts. No misrepresentations found. Now it's up to you to back up your claim or withdraw it.
