Benson blows Monson's Arthur Patton tale out of the water

Try to at least sew it up by bearing us your testimony.

You see, Doc, there is only one thing that we can conclude about you if you fail to agree with certain people's arguments against Mormonism.

Welcome to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

You see, Kish, that Doc has provided no meaningful counter evidence. At this point, I am trying to help him out of his faithful pickle by suggesting he bear his testimony. It is a tried and true fallback in your world, as you know.

And that means that he is a Mormon apologist?

I should add that I don't give a tinker's damn about Monson's stories. I am not at all invested in them, and I would hope that anyone with an ounce of brains would not hang their important personal life decisions on these tales or the ones in which he might have brought a widow a pie instead of a cake.

This means that he has nothing critical to say of Monson's nonsense narratives, noting that they are intended to promote faith, while at the same time he is criticizing ex-Mormons. If it walks and talks like a Latter-Day duck, it probably is one.

I agree with Steve Benson that this board has seen enough of DrCamNC4Me's relentless cheerleading for LDS truth claims.

I have never seen him refute the point that there have been thousands of edits to the Book of Mormon, either.

He does not have a faithful pickle. He probably just thinks you have your panties in a bunch over something that isn't terribly important. I share that opinion.

You know, Steve, there are some people who have suggested that you might be.....how can I put this delicately......damned insane.

Thanks for logging on to Mormon Discussions to set the record straight.

Dupe.

Snap judgments made from a position of ignorance have no place in your personal history.

I agree with you that the truth is not terribly important in Mormonism.
