What exactly is your problem, partly_warmer?

I mean besides the obvious foaming at the mouth. What’s your beef, exactly, and why can’t you explain it in a rational manner?

This is what I’m talking about.

In that thread you stated that you didn’t care to share your views. Cool. Too bad you didn’t just shut the you-know-what up to begin with. LDS bashing is so passe, in case you haven’t heard.

This is truly a waste of time, Monty. He knows not of what he speaks, and religious arguments are pointless anyway.

Why don’t you just rochambeau him and walk away? That would be satisfying enough for me.

“rochambeau?”

Or ro-sham-bo. Otherwise known as Rock, Paper, Scissors. I confess this is the first time I’ve seen the French spelling, though.

No no. It’s from Southpark. I’ll kick you in the nuts, then you kick me in the nuts. Whoever drops first loses. Then you forfeit after you get to thwack him in the nuts.

Just make sure you always go first.

I’m more familiar with the term “bai-bai-bo.” Thanks.

The question was: Is the BoM the word of Jesus?

I answered: not as far as any religion is concerned, except the Mormons.

Answering Diogenes, really, I pointed out that the simplest way to explain Joseph Smith’s experience was to discount it. And that this couldn’t be done with in the situation of JC, because many people were involved.

Supporting the position on the weakness of the origin of the BoM I referred to:

  1. An established book on the subject of cults.
  2. Internet sites describing the position of other churches.
  3. Information from an ex-Mormon.
  4. The BoM.

The Mormons who answered ignored all, or nearly all of the questions I brought up. That ain’t argument.

You are a damn liar, pw. That’s not what the question was at all. Go back to the thread, pull your head out of your tush, and read exactly what was asked and also exactly what you ranted.

I read the thread up to my last post.

I quoted positions of other churches and references. I agreed with their positions.

As far as I can see, the only lying involved comes from the LDS.

Then you’re an illiterate in addition to being a liar. The OP of that thread did not ask “Is the Book of Mormon the word of Jesus?” It asked if it’s another testament.

partly_warmer, I don’t see any questions at all raised by you. Ignorant statements yes. Rehashed criticisms of LDS which have been debunked time and time again. You refer to a book written in 1938 (well, the 4th edition was in 1962), and claim that it’s a reliable commentary. With a title like “The Chaos of Cults” it’s already gone off the deep end–hint: I’ve seen “anti-cult” books which include the Catholic Church as a cult. These works simply heap on the BS about various religions higher and deeper. They shed no new light on anything, and only perpetuate an agenda of FUD.

You made several erroneous statements, to wit:

claim: the LDS plan to change [the BoM] in the future.
truth: False.

claim: Celestial is for perfect Mormons who are ordained to the higher priesthood, and before 1978, this priesthood excluded blacks.
truth: False.

claim: I’m not sure how you could say the LSD leaders don’t intend to modify the BoM, since it happened as recently as 1981.
truth: False. See: http://scriptures.lds.org/bm/explntn – it wasn’t changed because the LDS leaders felt like it. It was changed in a few places because an original manuscript was found, and some passages were changed to conform with the manuscript.

Blowero, genie, I, and others have attempted to correct your mistakes, but like most of your ilk, you aren’t interested in truth, but rather vomiting around all the trash and mistruths that people have since the beginning of the LDS church. It’s pathetic, despicable, and intellectually dishonest. To then claim that no one has responded (answered your “questions”) is absurd and ridiculous.

Your true colors revealed, you ignored the people who actually know better and continue holding your ears, shouting “LA LA LA”–that’s not intelligent conversation. That’s a two-year old. And it’s pathetic.
If you want to keep your head in the sand, that’s your decision. But shut up and do it elsewhere.

This thread, and the linked one, would have made so much more sense if I hadn’t read this as “LSD bashing is so passe”.

I was trying to figure out if the Mormons were on drugs, or if they weren’t on drugs and should be, or what exactly acid had to do with it to begin with.

sigh
I need sleep.

Why did the human species ever stop settling religious arguements with sharp objects?

It really make the thrusts and points of arguements a lot more interesting :slight_smile:

Anyhoo, this needs more overflow into the pit to give me a better laugh

I gave up on Parly_Warmer when he ignored my post that said that the ONLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE to the BoM came soon after its publishing, in which punctuation was added.

Note the words “significant”. Only you, PW, find significance in changing “white” back to “pure”. You’re just another conspiracy-theorist nutjob who happens to get his giggles by going after “those damned Mormons”.

I also note that you have yet to address why one miraculous occurence is more “believable” than another.

Teehee!!:smiley:
Sorry, I just had to point out that your hilarious.

“LDS bashing is so passe, in case you haven’t heard.”

I agree. If you can’t keep up with current trends(btw it’s all Islam this season, dawling) stick with Jew-bashing. It’s the “little black dress” of bigotry.
