If you are a true believer no proof is necessary!

If you don't believe it no proof is possible!

What thinkest thou?

If you are a true believer, you have already accepted something as your proof, so you already have it.

If you don't believe it and are unwilling to accept proof when presented with it, you're being ignorant.

I think that if I'm correct about the point you want to make, the above sentence should read:

    "If you don't want to believe it, no proof is possible."

I think you are thinking in black and white.

That is very probably so
What are you thinking in?

Why, EB is thinking in all the colours of the rainbow of course!

Or, in American English, "EB is thinking in all the colors of the rainbow of corse!"

LOL

My body. It isn't blank or white but more tan-ish. I sometimes think ahead of myself and forget my body has to keep up. Labeling people through their thinking is never a good idea to me.

Blank and White

Black is blank

Blank is back

Blank is Beautiful

I am blank

of course I am. How else can I stimulate controversy?

It is a great way except when you reduce things to the absurd. Then it just becomes noise.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

Thinking in color is better, more enjoyable, harder, and more rewarding in my opinion.

Good luck with seeing a binary world.

And if proof is irrelevant to you on either side. That's where I'm at.

I LIKE THAT IDEA!!!

Right, LW--it's indifference.
I mentioned on a different thread I really go weeks or longer without Christian Science coming into my thoughts. When I drive past the CS world headquarters--almost daily--my attention is on traffic, not the cult.

Not many indifferent people here.

Me too-

I go by instinct.

Mormonism Stinks!

No amount of evidence ever convinced a fool of anything.

I admire your bravery in admitting that.

It's a good first step.

You can do it!!

Now THAT would be civilised, Ms. Sayers!

Right

Oh, the irony. . .

The ultimate false dichotomy.

Nobody fits into the True Believer or True Disbeliever categories on all subjects all the time. Many people don't fit into them most of the time.

Any ideas on why he does it here?

If you are a true believer then you see proof in everything.

God made the rainbow.

How could complex life evolve without god?

My favorite "evidence" of the truthliness of the BOM is that both the Israelites and Mayans wore sandals.

Proof = what it takes to convince you.

Can you convince me that is true?

What constitutes proof ?

Now that is a good question.
What is your answer?

Proof of what?

proof that what is presented as true actually is true

Mormon leadershit assumes if you need or want proof you are either too smart, too cool, or too much for them.

Not only is it not true... It's also grossly false, offensive and off course.

Proof is one thing.
Stench is another.

I use my instinks.
Mormonism Stinks!

It can't even lie straight, right out of the gate!

It's like a pyramid scheme of the spiritual nature, that affects different people differently.

It's like proof?
What proof?

That's what I'm saying...

80 proof

And that's the problem with belief.

Sign in front of a Church a few decades ago.

When you have Faith

Facts don't matter.

As we see with so many things these days, people believe what they want to believe and seek out sources to back up their already-chosen beliefs. The sources do NOT have to be credible. And when they get close to something that looks credible but that challenges their paradigm, it is very scary for them.

The fake “prophets” have been 100% right about one thing. If you don’t want to lose your belief in the mormon church, don’t go anywhere near so-called anti-mormon literature (e.g. facts). Just don’t. And I’m ok with that. I wanted nothing more than to not be a mormon. But I never dwelt on that because I believed that something that could make me 100% sure it was bunk could not possibly exist. And short of that I wasn’t going to risk my eternal salvation. I was wrong. And when I found that out, I was so glad to be done.

People who ARE happy with being Mormon, I mean actually happy, not just claiming to be, should follow the profit, bask in their beliefs and be happy. Anymore, as long as they don’t try to push it on me, I don’t care what they want to believe or how idiotic they want to look.
