Poor Brian. He can’t seem to find any TBM’s who want to play my-mythology-is-better-than-your-mythology with him.

Here Brian, maybe you’ll have more fun with this instead…

Was it You or was it Dr. Sigmund Freud? (by his own hand upon this thread...)

- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

On the subject of arguing, your way of presenting yourself is off-putting, and a little dull. We've heard it all before, and the Book of Abraham topics are common knowledge, so even those of us who agree with you (most of us) aren't that interested because it's "been there, done that."

You might have a better time arguing about religion in general, since there is a better balanced group of atheists vs theists here.


I am not interested in arguing religion in general. The name of this forum is "Mormon Discussion", not "Generic Religious Discussions". I came here to debate Mormons on the topics of MormonISM. When I want to debate atheists, I know where to go.

I have been doing this for several years; I am not interested in playing "subtle" games or indulging in adolescent word-play and equivocation. I came here with the intent of challenging Mormons to defend the claims of their religion. If you guys are too bored with defending the claims of your own religion, perhaps you should not participate in forums that specify your religion by name as the main subject area of the forum's stated concern.

Well, you can like it or lump it, really. You can't force anyone to play the game as you wish to play it. I don't know what more I can say.

Are ALL Mormons chicken? Or is it just the few TBMs and ex-MOs here who cannot bring themselves to actually attempt to defend the claims of their so-called "prophet"?


We are not cowards. But we do get tired of the same old intellectual dishonesty that pervades the antiMormon world. As for the Book of Abraham, it is not possible for any criticism to bite until the missing papyri are discovered and the fact that the ancient Egyptians rigorously changed embarrassing history is accounted for, at least.

Similarly, it is not possible for any criticism of the Loch Ness Monster to bite until it is conclusively proven that plesiosaurs did not survive the K/T Extinction Event and the fact that Nessie is an extra-dimensional creature, like Bigfoot.

Kevin Graham has already proven beyond reasonable doubt that the extant papyrus are the source of the Book of Abraham. Even if it weren't, the erroneous translation of the facsimiles and the inaccurate history in the Book of Abraham itself are still the smoking gun.
