Did FAIR Put the "Kibbosh" on Kerry Shirts?

Perhaps Kerry is the first victim/scapegoat/sacrificial lamb in Dallin O's 'War on Apologetics'...?

[_Blixa]

But regardless of the reality, nobody can take the thread of a conversation all the way from the hermetic corpus through the Zohar and into sacred geometry quite like Kerry. I miss the enthusiasm and love of learning that was always present in his participation on the boards.

Yep, the sheer pleasure he took in things was always infectious and fun whether one agreed with him or not. That is a quality to be prized.

For which there is also precisely no evidence.

Such is Scratchthink.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence...

Such is apologia....

Fine. Devote your life to Scratchism.

Everybody should have a faith, I suppose.

Since when have you ever been interested in evidence?

If you read my post it was more of a suggestion of possibility rather than a firmly held belief.

You must concede that it is a possibility, given that the world of Mormon apologetics is perhaps under more scrutiny from Church leaders than perhaps it has been before.

What basis do you have for that claim?

I'm unaware of any unusual "scrutiny." And if anybody would be likely to be aware of it, I would.

Scratch (or his zany secret "informant," if that person really exists) creates these claims out of thin air, and then he repeats them a few times so that some here come to believe them true. And, thereafter, they become the foundation for his next series of false claims.

It's a house of cards, where bogus conjecture is built upon bogus conjecture, which, in its turn, rests upon bogus conjecture.

Then you should feel right at home with it, since that is LDS apologetics in a nutshell.
