What if they look for Nephite stuff but discover Scientology was the dominant religion thousands of years before the L. Ron? |

The above threads are open to discussion.
On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”
When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”
Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.
Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

Thin-skinned (emotional, whiney or mercurial temper) posters are the disruptors on open threads.

It is difficult to find a reasonable explanation for why the armies would travel this immense distance to do battle.In fact, it is difficult to find a reasonable explanation for much of the claims in the Book of Mormon that relate to "civilizations" that lived in fairly recent times and have left absolute zero traces of their existence... except in the Book of Mormon.
It would be kind of like trying to find historical evidence of Hobbits.
The old con man, Joesph Smith came up with ficticious people, places and events and now scholars debate where all this took place. Hilarious !

HOBBITS AREN’T REAL!?!?
Oh man, the guys in my D&D group are going to be so bummed...
The is no real way for me to make that funnier...
Bartender, I’ll have what Smith is drinking!
Gives a new meaning to the word: “scientific”.
I see dead people...
That never existed...
Cool dude....
:)
And yet this morning they all sit with eyes glazed over with that warm fuzzy feeling, knowing in their hearts that the church is true. No one reads, no one investigates, no one can get beyond the phony authoritarian liars that overwhelm with their religious battery on these poor humbled souls.
Keep up your good work Ms. Greyfoxx39. A few will be listening.

Either you become a heretic for doubting the word of the prophet or you destroy the very basis of your faith by proving the Joseph Smith was a fraud.
The fact the the entirety of the LDS religious and “scientific” communities oscillate between these two positions without landing some where speaks volumes.
Do not use potty language - or references to potty language - on the Religion Forum.
(I love all the information on the IRR site.)

A bit like "scientific creationism" in that respect!
Actually, hobbits were real and there is evidence of them living.
I can’t remember exactly the location of their existence, but they were an island people on some tiny islands off the coast of india...I think.
Never did ascertain if Tolkien got the idea for “Hobbits” from that race or if the scientific community named them after Tolkien’s work...
Of course the don't live in the Shire...
