I think you misunderstood the poster. CondoleezzaProtege is quite correct in his/her assessment of the Book of Mormon. The Book fabricated in the mind of Joseph Smith and his cohorts hasn’t a single grain of truth in it except the parts that were plagiarized from the King James version of the Bible. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is as truthful.
I misunderstood “NotThere”. He meant his post as a joke and it was my bad to fly off the handle so quick.
CondoleezzaProtege is quite correct in her assessment. I have many Mormon friends and have asked them questions, genuinely, about their beliefs and practices.
Sometimes I get a straight answer and we just disagree but are still friends. Others don’t like questions from outsiders and get agitated.
The response that pertubes me the most however, is when they give a patently false answer, that was contrived and contorted from verses and they are completely out of context. When you explain it them, they get holier than thou(the believe their religion is more perfect) and will hang everything on a single verse.
When you explain that there are no verses in the Bible that are not corroborated by other verses, the subject changes.
To each his own. I don’t try to convince them but, boy do they think I should be a Mormon.
I ain’t joining any other clubs or converting for anyone.
