God has multiple football teams. What happens when they play each other, like BYU vs Notre Dame?

Trolling Atheists with nonsense questions must have some entertainment value, thus the video. You could ask Bigfoot skeptics how they concluded there was no evidence for Bigfoot. It's a trick question because one person's evidence is another person's hogwash.

"It is quite another to *manipulate* language in order to advance one's point of view while avoiding debate and claiming (directly or indirectly) that something substantive, or worse insightful, has been achieved." I'm not sure I've seen such claims. It seems to me some cats piss in the wind because they like the smell. SC has put forth this same proposition numerous times. Decons

"This is the kind of emotional manipulation that lured me into the church. I feel like I was such a moron." The message resonated with you at the time. I'm not sure that's manipulation. To place the blame on either the church or yourself is disempowering. The parable of the sower may apply here. You have woken up to the tares surrounding you and object to your being placed there.

Yes. You give, they take. Church callings take you away from your family. Shouldn't the calling of Bishop come with a stipend to compensate the bishop for the loss of his family life? The church is richer than Oprah by 100 times. They could do this. But seriously, the church is all about the money. It did what it did for your time and money. Now it doesn't get either.

Joseph Smith was a prophet for profit, the P. T. Barnum of the restoration. Life under the Big Top is predictable and has a familiar bouquet. Joseph's mistake was trusting Brigham Young, a wannabe tyrant who used geographic isolation as a form of coercion. It's my way or the highway. Oh look, there it is. Just walk 1000 miles in any direction. The Brighamite church's manipulation is psyc

Surely these talks are vetted. Why would it be presented before a GC audience? Maybe God is above the law. 50/50 parenting as presumptive in many states. Unless you have a good demonstrable reason for mama to not have that, it's 50/50. But maybe church figures kids are property. Mormons should not get involved in custody battles. Things get ugly fast.
