No argument there. Been there, done that. Still do here and there.

It's not a slam dunk with the Book of Mormon is it? ;)

I don't put the Book of Mormon in the same category as the other things you've listed. It seems to me that it deserves a bit more investigative work.

Cost/benefit.

I note that you are linking to AI content. Again. I don’t blame you for it anymore. You realise that no real consequences are coming, despite the warnings. Sure, you might have to listen to another lengthy explanation about the board’s policy, but so what? That’s all that’s gonna happen.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

But it seemed to me that MG had found a loophole because he posted a link to A.I. material that is not on *this* board. The rule doesn't specifically prohibit one from doing so:
UNIVERSAL RULES: wrote:12. All A.I.-generated text may only be posted within the appropriate forums' artificial intelligence megathreads, found here for Mormon-related topics and here for non-Mormon topics. Additionally, do not post any links to anything in those threads (just send the person whom you want to see the text a private message pointing it out). For additional information, see here.
Please explain or clarify the difference. No links of any kind to other websites is permitted?

The links are fine, as long as those LINKS are posted within the A.I. megathread. The material linked to doesn't need to be in the A.I. megathread.

Specifically, his link would've been fine had he posted it within the A.I. megathread and not THIS thread.

I’m just devastated for Fibber. After all these years, discovering the anti-AI rules for the very first time must have hit him like a lightning bolt. I can only imagine the shock and surprise Fibber is feeling right now. :roll:

That is true. Only God can. And not just ANY god...

That's where things get rather messy, right? ;)

The Book of Mormon makes it rather clear that we should not trust in the "arm of the flesh".

Can you explain what the phrase “arm of the flesh” means, specifically?

MG claims that "Only God can. And not just ANY god...". Presumably he is referring to Mormon god. I'd like to see him justify that claim.
