I always enjoy reading the back and forth between bcspace and others.

Take a load off! Might I recommend scotch and a bcpowder?

LDS criticism certainly is futile. However, I felt like I made strong advances on the issues of doctrine, evolution, and the priesthood ban in terms of strength of argument, making them even more airtight. Of course I have you all to thank for that and this is one of the reasons I come to debate; to test my arguments and make them better or abandon them if needs be.

Surely you are appreciative of the substantial and credible support that you've been given by those two trainee Church defenders 'ldsfaqs' and 'subgenius'...


Yes. Kudos should be given here. Hard to notice when you've got multiple conversations going. I'm happy I live in a split level head!

BC.... if you are the only one that thinks you are winning, is it a win?

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

When the other person changes the subject, changes argument, refuses to provide evidence, etc. that's when I've won. Victory is mine!

I wish they made a non-alcoholic lemonade this strong:

Bc, keep up the good work. You help keep those Mormon critics at their keyboards and off the streets. The keyboards thank you.

You have made no advances or gained any advantage. You just keep answering criticisms with the same old tired defenses. And you pick your arguments to those you feel better equipped to deal with. I have been gone a long while from these message boards, but I have seen no LDS advances in defense. The ones I see that used to defend the LDS church with enthusiasm, mostly have renounced their faith. You will soon get to that point.
