“If humans had incontrovertible secular evidence for the existence of God, they would be unable to freely choose whether or not to accept God.”
Need anyone explain how absurd this statement is?
Please spare Christians from criticism from the LDS. The LDS “religion” is a poorly put together man-made concoction from a “fortune finder” with a magic stone who has been roundly proven wrong on all counts.
The fact that this heretic and his “book” have sent so many followers to hell should be enough for all mormons to repent. I get the BYU channel on my cable station and am amazed at all the discussions of the history of this charlatan and his followers and how he’s going to sit next to Jesus on judgement day, and I just shake my head. May Joe Smith, Jr., wind up on KOLOB and stay there.
Well, this is very convenient for Mr. Ash. If someone criticizes the quality of the proof, then the problem is with the critic, not the proof.
Maybe Mormons should consider the converse of Mr. Ash's statement. They accept this tripe as evidence because they are so desperate to prove the BOM true that they are not critical enough.
Yes but it is always nice to watch the Perry Mason reruns every night. That is if I can stay awake.
“Beware of FALSE prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are RAVENING wolves ... For such are FALSE apostles,
DECEITFUL workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.”
Jesus Christ, Matthew 7:15, The Apostle Paul, II Corinthians 11:13
It sure is. An ancient culture that supposedly had numerous cities and battles and etc. should have at least a shred of something to back it up archeologically. Ancient cultures inevitably leave things behind. Tons of ancient stuff has been found or dug up from ancient Babylonian, Israelite, Assyrian, Aztec, Olmec, Chinese, Brittanic, Celtic, and etc. culture(s). If all the stuff in the Book of Mormon is true, then why not even a shred of archeological evidence to back it up? This is a reasonable question to ask.
The big question is not why anyone would reject the Book of Mormon. The big question is how anyone could possibly accept it.
In other words, the writer is saying that proof doesn't matter. "We have no proof, but hey, proof is not important anyway." Lol. Lame Dodge Attempt.
Lol. True!
What time do the Perry Mason reruns come on?
Stupider words have never been spoken.
While there are evidences that support religious convictions, there are no intellectually decisive proofs
For me it is a decisive lack of proof. The events of the BOM are huge. Huge civilizations, wars, animals, crops, armor, events. But there is no evidence of them ever having existed especially not near where the BOM claims.
One can doubt Christianity, but not Jerusalem, the Roman Empire, Galilee and on and on. If all these places and events in the Bible had the same lack of evidence as to their very existence, I would not be a Christian.
thanks for your post.
PD, http://www.watchman.org/lds/bomarch.htm ... "Despite all of F.A.R.M.S., and other similar organizations, attempts, the facts set forth by archaeologists continue to discredit the validity of the Book of Mormon. It is thus not surprising that in the final analysis, F.A.R.M.S. must admit, "However, proof of the Book of Mormon remains in the spiritual domain," (1988-1989 Catalogue, p. 1)." Thanks for making these posts for everyone to see the complete craziness of Mormonism. No one will ever vote for any politician that believes in Mormonism after reading the stuff you post here. Their judgment is questionable.

The homosexual Raymond Burr sure put on a ‘macho’ performance!
Cause they are ripe for deception at thier own choosing and peril. I personally think they go this root because they've rejected Christianity...Mormonism makes them "feel" accepted as it has just enough use of Christian verbage to appeal to what is already known to them...and just enough differnece to trick them.

Sure there is. Not conclusive as of yet but yes there is. You should look such things on the links I provided for information.
