Consistent with the interest generated by the Book of Mormon historicity works of FARMS.

I simply have to mention a very small population with a seriously skewed relationship to reality, et voilà! Pal Joey answers the call, beating his tiny drum!

Mercifully, we're talking about a very, very small population.

Hopefully, though, you won't stop posting. You've undeniably created a lot more interest of late.

My mistake.

Then you might have to pay some attention to the Wiki entry on:

Daniel C. Peterson

Peterson is a regular participant in online fora about Mormonism where he discusses the LDS faith and its apologetics.[2]


There are three links to Mormon Discussions (the profile link doesn't work), but none to MADB.

PS: I brought this up just in case you were not aware.

I think it will probably be edited, as anyone can edit on Wiki, as I understand. I pointed it out because I doubt he'd appreciate the links to MDB.

That is why I saved a copy of that page...... $.00

MAD board omission...... $.00

Prof. Dr. Bishop Dan C. Pederson's reaction....... priceless!!!
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

I've read a modest number of reviews.

I've found perhaps a couple of them to be substantively empty especially when it's apparent the reviewer has something to gain by holding a differing opinion (such as the author of a competing Book of Mormon LGT). The rest seemed pretty good.

I've only seen a few of Scratch's commentary on the FARMS review but have found them lacking substance, concentrating instead on criticizing style and perceived innuendo.

I thought the Review's style was perceived innuendo... at least according to Scratch.

According to him. But he doesn't seem to actually delve into the substance of the articles to tell us what facts/opinions presented might be wrong.

Like guy sajer, he just seems to skim the surface looking for a quick hit.

He delves into the substance of the article, if the substance of the article is innuendo.
