Tough Crowd. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 03/10/2011 04:44:31 PM
Don't recognize you, so I assume that you're new. Welcome, and don't feel too persecuted... most religious posts get trolled at least a little, and you left yourself wide open to this. For what it is worth, I have found most members of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints to be pleasant, positive people. I have done ministry alongside them in the past and quite enjoyed the experience. And the zeal displayed by its followers is admirable, and would be much more so if it wasn't so focused on what people did in the bedroom.

Welcome to the site. And as a heads up, if you want to throw down in a religious thread, hop right in, but don't expect kid gloves. I'm pretty certain we don't have any.

I don't understand why they would be called drinks, if they were not meant to be drunk. aerocontrols - 03/10/2011 03:28:48 PM 1326 Views

Do you ever giggle at the name "Moroni?" Ghavrel - 03/10/2011 11:39:55 AM 1364 Views
There are Mormon literalists? Seriously? *NM* Legolas - 03/10/2011 03:02:18 PM 713 Views
In fairness, I wonder the same about Christian literalists. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/10/2011 07:57:19 PM 777 Views
Yeah, but if you're gonna believe absurdities... Legolas - 03/10/2011 09:02:32 PM 1352 Views
Are you trying to suggest that "Reformed" or some other brand of scientology is plausible? Joel - 04/10/2011 04:28:40 PM 1293 Views
Actually, no. It'd be like laughing at... Hosea. Or Nemeiah. It's just an old name. Gher - 04/10/2011 12:30:57 AM 1246 Views
I know they don't have multiple wives anymore, so no misconception there ironclad - 03/10/2011 01:23:50 PM 1276 Views

Question: Why are you such a faggot? *NM* Urza - 03/10/2011 02:23:45 PM 617 Views
Answer: because it's the only way he could return your burning love for him. Nate - 03/10/2011 03:24:23 PM 844 Views
Oh dont be such a fuddy duddy. Urza - 03/10/2011 10:42:06 PM 838 Views

I think it's safe to say ... Nate - 04/10/2011 04:09:17 AM 751 Views

He's doing it on purpose though. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:31:39 PM 876 Views

That's not quite right, actually. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:25:54 PM 698 Views
Disagree. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/10/2011 10:04:09 PM 724 Views
Considering that "CaptainHammer" is LDS, I'd rather doubt he's gay. Great Lord of Chaos - 04/10/2011 02:32:56 AM 736 Views

Heh. Oh, Ryan. Kronin al'Sulc - 04/10/2011 04:36:43 PM 893 Views
*sigh* to all of you above.... LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 03:06:21 AM 786 Views
I thought that was "Do not talk about /b/"? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 04/10/2011 03:12:52 AM 781 Views
i don't know, but if THAT is the first rule... LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 03:41:20 AM 743 Views
Please explain why you think we should consider you Christians. Tom - 03/10/2011 04:33:06 PM 1436 Views
you know, that does make me wonder though LadyLorraine - 03/10/2011 04:58:21 PM 1311 Views
We're not as immovable as we are sometimes portrayed. Dannymac - 03/10/2011 05:27:17 PM 1286 Views
"Even Christ didn't do that"? I can't agree. Legolas - 03/10/2011 09:00:34 PM 1306 Views
I conceded your last point. Dannymac - 03/10/2011 10:14:28 PM 1149 Views
Point of Anal Retentive Dissent: Joel - 04/10/2011 03:54:00 PM 1217 Views
That concept is alien to the Christian theological understanding, however. Tom - 03/10/2011 10:18:55 PM 1305 Views
I understand what both you and Danny are saying LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 12:19:57 AM 1246 Views
Oh, that's very simple Tom - 04/10/2011 04:02:24 AM 1300 Views
I honestly don't know what it would take. Dannymac - 04/10/2011 07:41:55 AM 1238 Views
thank you, both of you LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 01:46:05 PM 1235 Views
I love the Nicene Creed. It is such an excellent encapsulation. Rebekah - 03/10/2011 06:07:53 PM 1322 Views
Agreed. Joel - 04/10/2011 04:44:49 PM 1201 Views
The absolute best part about your post (plus the best thing about Mo's/LDS's) Jeordam - 03/10/2011 09:02:17 PM 1264 Views
Glad you enjoyed it Tom - 03/10/2011 10:10:39 PM 1373 Views
Though they can cause interesting changes in patterns. Dannymac - 03/10/2011 10:16:55 PM 1328 Views
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all mankind, and the only way back to God. Gher - 04/10/2011 01:29:30 AM 1368 Views
If you think the Book of Mormon was well-written, there is really little left to discuss. Tom - 04/10/2011 03:57:08 AM 1534 Views
I never said well-written, I said complex. Gher - 04/10/2011 07:04:24 AM 1405 Views
Ignore facts all you want to. Tom - 05/10/2011 01:07:35 AM 1304 Views

Exactly ironclad - 04/10/2011 06:00:54 PM 1247 Views
Was the twin banging and the gay wedding the same event? Joel - 04/10/2011 06:36:03 PM 1317 Views
Yikes. Even for religion, that's more than a little crazy. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:47:56 PM 1304 Views
I don't think there's much of a difference in crazy as opposed to other more mainstream religions. Vivien - 04/10/2011 07:08:06 PM 1271 Views
A difference exists if only in continued unabashed affirmation of a rather distasteful doctrine. Joel - 04/10/2011 11:06:51 PM 1265 Views
Then why can't women be priests? Or enter the altar? The curse on Eve is very much in place. *NM* Aeryn - 05/10/2011 12:27:04 AM 688 Views
OK, within the Mormon context I can see that point. Joel - 05/10/2011 12:33:52 AM 1214 Views
They can in quite a few denominations. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:12:35 AM 722 Views
Whoops! You meant in LDS specifically. My mistake. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:14:05 AM 712 Views
Right now I am not making an absolute statement but a relative one. Vivien - 05/10/2011 08:37:50 PM 1084 Views
Yes, that is kind of the problem. Joel - 06/10/2011 12:13:27 AM 1222 Views
Oh, you didn't know? Joe Smith said black people are cursed for following Satan. Tom - 05/10/2011 01:10:35 AM 1275 Views
I guess this is a variation on Hams punishment; Ghav, at least should know better than to be shocked Joel - 04/10/2011 04:13:59 PM 1214 Views
it's not that we're surprised because it's "novel" LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 04:19:16 PM 1249 Views
It is not NECESSARILY racist. Joel - 04/10/2011 04:39:33 PM 1293 Views
Sure, except ... Nate - 04/10/2011 04:50:53 PM 1313 Views
Well, the funny thing is Christian doctrine presupposes everyone, along with their ancestors... Joel - 04/10/2011 06:31:13 PM 1196 Views
Yeah, circular logic is fun, isn't it? Tom - 05/10/2011 01:09:25 AM 1266 Views
It it is nigh impossible to be a "non-Nicene Christian." Joel - 04/10/2011 03:12:06 PM 1348 Views
I think we've had this discussion before. Gher - 06/10/2011 05:54:39 PM 1312 Views
Arianism is a bad comparison for arguing LDS=Christian. Joel - 06/10/2011 11:45:36 PM 1218 Views
Wikipedia confirms what I already thought: you're off base with the monophysitism. Legolas - 07/10/2011 12:06:40 AM 1526 Views
I had not realized it was that late, but used it only as an example of multitudinous controversies. Joel - 07/10/2011 01:03:56 AM 1658 Views
Monophysites, miaphysites, monothelites, etc. certainly accept the consubstantiality of God/Christ Larry - 07/10/2011 11:58:05 AM 1247 Views
Virtually everyone has a more sound Christology than Mormons. Tom - 07/10/2011 06:45:45 PM 1266 Views
Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Joel - 08/10/2011 05:30:38 PM 1269 Views
I can see that with the Monothelites (can see their appeal, in fact,) but not Monophysites. Joel - 07/10/2011 09:43:27 PM 1208 Views
Tempting as it is to prove Joel wrong (since he so frequently is), I need to take issue with this. Tom - 07/10/2011 06:59:13 PM 1285 Views
I was just saying there were competing views. Gher - 07/10/2011 07:49:26 PM 1664 Views
Oh, there were definitely competing views, just not competing Christian views. Joel - 07/10/2011 09:26:22 PM 1181 Views
That sounds really nice. Vivien - 04/10/2011 06:38:29 PM 1287 Views
Why wait though? Joel - 05/10/2011 12:12:21 AM 1444 Views
So that Vivien can avoid reading and thinking about the stuff that you just wrote. *NM* Aeryn - 05/10/2011 12:28:23 AM 653 Views
Ack, not reading and thinking111 Joel - 05/10/2011 12:36:11 AM 1238 Views
I really want an answer from a mormon. Vivien - 05/10/2011 08:48:49 PM 1286 Views
Good luck with that; just because I can see no explanation save that I offered does not preclude one Joel - 06/10/2011 07:03:50 AM 1170 Views
Yeah, that's what I thought. Gher - 06/10/2011 05:43:57 PM 1227 Views
I'm satisfied by that explanation. Vivien - 06/10/2011 08:51:15 PM 1451 Views

True Larry - 05/10/2011 02:13:00 AM 1188 Views
I think of Protestantism in terms similar to a Xerox copy. Tom - 05/10/2011 04:57:42 AM 1304 Views
Maybe Xeroxes of abridged texts and dumbed down theology Larry - 06/10/2011 02:26:58 AM 1393 Views
I like that analogy - an echo chamber! *NM* Tom - 08/10/2011 10:44:04 PM 709 Views
