Well I did ask you last night to show what victories you are claiming.

Me, I see none.

Only opinions.

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

If I were ldsfags I'd be pretty offended by this claim. I guess he can't get no respect.

Anyhow, I always enjoy watching BCSpace claim victory. Sort of reminds me of someone else...

Seth didn't post a photo of himself making the announcement that bc had made the announcement. I just wanted to correct that oversight.

Ha! Well I certainly never claimed there were no American tanks in Baghdad. Anyone ever read "Thunder Run" by David Zucchino? Great military book. Warning: Soldier language.

And antiMormon victories claimed are not opinion? Besides you apparently not reading what I posted on the first page, consider also; Don't you think more and more critics and apologists alike are using the published works of the Church to discuss doctrine? That is a huge victory considering I was just about the only one on these two boards advocating the Church's position before Approaching Mormon Doctrine came out. I'm just not seeing much JoD anymore, are you?

This board has been left to the anti-Mormon, commie-pinko, good time rock&roll, long haired, maggot infested, Birkenstock wearing, plastic banana, FM-type liberals for whom this board was created.

Two minutes hate begins now...


Hmmmm, let's see:

1. I'm not anti-Mormon. Technically, I'm still Mormon.
2. I voted Conservative in the last three federal elections, so I'm not a commie-pinko
3. I prefer alt-country and punk and alt-rock to rock n' roll
4. My hair is shorter than yours, Loran - I've seen your pics on youtube
5. I don't have maggots
6. I don't own Birkenstocks
7. What the hell is a plastic banana?
8. See #2

Guess me and you are on the same side! Well met, Brother Blood!

Interesting weasel language, but unnecessary as I've already long understood you to be anti-LDS doctrine and policy in a number of areas.

2. I voted Conservative in the last three federal elections, so I'm not a commie-pinko


Just for a start, do you or do you not, for the record, support socialized healthcare (universal, single payer healthcare) homosexual marriage, steep, progressive taxes, and a substantial, government administered welfare state?

3. I prefer alt-country and punk and alt-rock to rock n' roll


Punk? OK...

4. My hair is shorter than yours, Loran - I've seen your pics on youtube


Then by now you know how fabulously handsome I am.

5. I don't have maggots


Alright.

6. I don't own Birkenstocks


Love beads?

7. What the hell is a plastic banana?


Its a seventies thing you wouldn't understand.

Hardly.

One last thing, I want to be clear that I don't think you're being dishonest or hateful, but I do think your apologetics are not much more than silly word games. I am going to think about whether I ever did that. I hope not.

You'll be back for more, I promise. But do go to Church.


I won't do the former, but I'll probably do the latter. I just need to remember that apologetics is not what Mormonism is about. Thank you for making that much clear to me.

I believe two things are morally correct with respect to caring for others - Christ's teachings and King Benjamen's teachings.

Two beautiful examples of socialist thought.

I trust you agree.

Aren't Birkenstocks sandals? What are love beads?

Once again, same side Brother Blood.
