And suddenly I am ignorant?

Oh no. You've been that way for a long time.

Believe what you will, I could care less, you (collectively with the Anti’s on this thread) are trying to “Prove” a religion (which by definition requires faith) “Wrong” which of us is the ignorant one?

So is the Bible intelligible, or not? Do we have archaeological findings, or not?

Silly. You don't really believe Mormonism at all. If you did, you would expect it to meet up with reality. But you don't expect that. You merely expect it to give you certain emotions.

With witty repartee like this a guy could get a lot of sleep.

Apparently, it is unintelligible to some.

Did you see my post to ColorCountry? (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1622778/posts?page=705#705) Have you ever heard of Chiasms? Be honest now, did you know about them before I brought it up?.

So, now your not only smarter than me, you are a psychic too, Miss Cleo, is that you?

I believe what I believe; you only have my words and my actions to see what that is.

I had an interesting discussion with a Chinese gentleman who claimed to be of the “church of science” (you can make a church out of anything by adding the church modifier to it) I told him and I will tell you, “True science is merely another form of Theology, since we are studying what God left for us to study.”

Mormonism does meet up with reality, the question is, what is reality? I have my perceptions, you have yours, somewhere in between is reality. One of us may be closer than the other, but reality probably escapes us both.

Did you want to have a philosophical discussion, or not?

Oh, I see, I am too dim to have any perceptions, well, since I am barely sentient, why are you bothering to even talk to me?

I will leave it to the readers of this forum to decide if I am a logical being or not, I believe my posts speak for themselves, so do yours.

Just a note about having such high opinions of your self, I read it somewhere,
“Those who put themselves on a pedestal often find it hard to get down to get a drink”

You might want to rent “What the bleep do we know” this movie might help with reality, God, and our relationship with both, it’s about quantum physics, and God.

Here is a link to the web site (http://www.whatthebleep.com/ )

Lots of fun :-)

BTW they are not Mormons.
