Literally. This means that:

1. 'Merca is better than everywhere else
2. Black skin TRULY IS a curse from God
3. Women do not deserve mention in religious stories
4. Jesus really came to 'Merca after his death in Jerusalem and killed millions of people
5. Snakes really have been employed to herd cattle by Jesus
6. DNA is all lies
7. Anthropologists are all ignorant rubes being used by Satan

And, best of all, you can now go join any of the 150 or so churches, cults, fundie groups, etc., that use the Book of Mormon.

One hundred and fifty? Are you sh#tting me? Hoooly f#ck excuse my language.

Here's a partial list

now IF the LDS-MORMONS would actually LIVE the BoM...

Oops, my bad =(

I can see both you and I were notably impressed (lol). And I just *knew* someone would post on it before I did. Maybe the most "interesting" talk of this year's Conference.

: )

Seems to (maybe I missed a little since I wasn't paying much attention) that his talk was basically:

1. Joe was a prophet if the Book of Mormon is true.
2. The Book of Mormon is true because I refuse to accept any of the contradictory evidence.

I really just shake my head and ask myself - does anyone with a fully functioning brain really buy that???

Oh. So you've heard my family bear their testimonies I see.

"2. The Book of Mormon is true because I refuse to accept any of the contradictory evidence."

Says it all right there!

So Tad Callister was the dumb ass talking about the supposedly unassailable virtues / veracity of the POS BOM???? On sunday afternoon??

I have not watched LDS Inc CON-fer-u(n)s for several years.

I was going to watch some yesterday afternoon, but there was a car show on TV about some car (the Triumph Stag) that was simply way too interesting compared to CON fer u(n)s, to actually break away from it to watch BS LDS CON fer u(n)s instead.

Today, I started watching the Sunday afternoon (BS) session. Blowhard Ballard was talking. I promptly fell asleep in reaction to Ballard. Then some chuckle head dumb ass came on and started talking about the veracity of the BOM. I promptly turned that BS over while cussing in reaction. Then Watched some NFL. Then Watched the finishing laps of NASCAR at Dover.

......MORmON Con-fer U(n)s is BORING at best !!!!!!!!!

and the latest edition appears to be more BORING than most !!!

and when some mousy puss bag starts gratuitously talking about the supposed validity and veracity of the EPIC POS BOM, I am not going to leave that garbage on, IF I am awake to any extent. Because fact is EVERYDAY the BOM is more extensively proven to be a laughable fraud.

I had the option of watching half an hour of conference or an infomercial. Both claim to be honest programs. lol

Should I make a mad dash back to church? Should I expose the falseness of DNA to the media?

The real miracle is that someone named their son "Tad".
