The war is very real. The critics are on the internet waging war against the LDS church and its members, attempting to get members to leave the fold. Just look at this board. When a member leaves the faith, there is celebration and group hugs and attempts to keep that person from going back. Such is the war.

say King James is jackin', ready to throw it down over your shiny bald head, not that your whiney ass presence means s*** to him anyway.

only credible contest option here is to pull a pig sticker and use it.

but be careful of James feet, he still might just kick out your teeth on his way back down.

or you could just take up golf, or table tennis or maybe croquette. Crochet? Knitting?

OK, I see why you think he might prefer that.

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

lol. I'll go for the croquettes too. Croquet is much to physical for me.

Darth J wrote:The use of this metaphor betrays a lot about Mopologist thinking. The fact that a Mopologist institution is named after Neal A. Maxwell says a lot, too. Mormons would really like to believe that Maxwell was some deep-thinking theologian, like he's some LDS analogue to St. Augustine. He wasn't. His deepest thoughts consisted of quote-mining C.S. Lewis. It's kind of like naming your university's English lit department after Stephenie Meyer.


I think it was more his support for FARMS than his deep thinking that led to the honorific naming. Also, Neal Maxwell seemed to me to be a decent fellow. I still enjoy his fiction about the city of Enoch. I think it shows that there was more to him than simple cribbing of Lewis.

I was not claiming that the man didn't love his Lewis.

It's just for the benefit of those who might think I was exaggerating, Reverend.
