Now that we've learned that these folks have the stamp of approval from on high I really don't know why Mormons would want to stick around quite frankly. Matter of fact if ya'll packed up and left we'd witness a lot of happy folks around here. Just go back through this thread and count how many times there was an inference for one of you to leave.
We'd learn quickly the motive wasn't to evangelize or to attempt pulling you out of the throngs or your "wicked" cult. I conclude their offerings are efforts to convince themselves they are "right" more than anything. After all, "doubt" is quite natural.
Conversely I don't believe efforts by Mormons to sway the insecure over to their side can be all together successful either. Sure there are exceptions on both sides very occasionally. But for the amount of effort expended the results are sorely lacking.
That's my view from up here in the broadcast booth as color analyst. My play by play man called in sick today. lol.
Whoda thought!
"Q" sick?
Unbelieveable!
Well, thank you Tim McCarver for such a “colorful” analysis.
Ignorance can be cured, stupidity is forever.
IMO, your post is indicative of the latter when considering the numerous times you’ve had things explained to you by the “evil anti’s”.
I conclude that it indicates a tacit refusal to consider the other (”evil anti’s”) position, ergo, your claim to be “neutral” is compromised by your own bigotry.
That's a bit off target, nothing as superficial as that is.
Those that know the truth of who the mainstream Christian Historical Jesus is aren't concerned with being "right" to observers, but to keep other posters from denigrating His attributes to something that He isn't.
In this case, having as an Apostle such as Joseph Smith which Bucolically is impossible and is an attempt by the LDS to co-opt the Son of God as their own while keeping behind the curtain all the official writings that show that their "Jesus" is quite different.
If they would just come out in the open and acknowledge their writings are antithesis to mainstream Christianity they could have their own swell religion and leave ours alone.
