Guy, I've criticized nearly every aspect of your cult, from exposing it's racist past to proving the fraud committed by Joseph Smith.
Now, I know that you cultist would rather drink the Koolaid than ever admit that NOT ONE SHRED of archeological evidence supports the existance of the Nephite/Lamanite Civilization.
Adena and Hopewell civilizations are completely imaginary, yet that is what the archeologists have put forth to explain their discoveries. How is it that speculation and conjecture in science becomes regarded as fact? In that, they are no more credible than Joseph Smith. Because the Spirit is true regardless. How to explain... Have you heard the rapper Eminem, a song called "Not Afraid", and the lyrics are meaningful? That can be meaningful in a way to one person, but different to another, like parallax views in the poetic expression.
Something about pulling something from the dirt and doing something to the whole universe...
Well, considering, I think that Avatar Guy knows what I'm talking about, but to stay on topic... Who or what causes these contentions, who or what is the adversary, who or what is the prince and power of the wind, or even the airwaves? By what force does this shit get stirred up from the start of it, and how might someone recognize that beforehand, like with a mind to prevention?
So let that Mitt Romney, and let that Melissa Harris-Perry read of this thread, make of it what they will. Surely it's a non-issue by the time I post this, but then again, people of faith are intertwined in ways they don't always know about, and it would be helpful to the people of the United States if they could see eye to eye on a few things once in a while.
Guy, this was sort of rambling nonsense, but if I'm getting the gist, it's okay if Mormonism is batshit crazy because the other religions have batshit crazy in them, too.
No, not really.
First, the people who wrote the crazy shit like Talking Snakes and a world-wide flood were not just "making shit up", they were putting down into written form stories that had existed from much earlier and everyone assumed was true. (For instance, Noah's Flood was preceded by thousands of years by the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is effectively the same story with different sky pixies. )
This cannot be said of Joseph Smith. He was making the stuff up, and when he was debunked (the Hopewell Civilization were NOT the NEphites, after all) they went on to assume, "Well, we just haven't found them, yet."
Secondly, while other religions have a lot of crazy myths in them, most thinking Christians don't really believe them. (And the ones who do are dumber than dogs.)
First, I didn't mention other religions, but I suggested a comparison of the science of archeology. So, feel free to read into that whatever you wish, the truth comes out eventually.
Secondly, unless you are an eyewitness to whatever claim you make of Joseph Smith, your testimony is incredible. I'm beginning to see how anti-Mormons have a deeper, more elaborate mythology about the guy than the LDS have.
Thirdly, you're doing your damnedest to drive this thread off topic for none other reason but your blind hatred. What, did a Mormon shoot your dogs or something, did they cut you off in traffic, do you believe they meet in dark, smoke filled rooms behind the scenes, secretly plotting against you?
I hope they are.
