Not only that but the apologists for that church are basically in apostasy from the church. I spoke on this and it is up on Mormon Expressions. http://mormonexpression.com/2011/02/episode-115-apologetics-and-apostasy-in-the-church/

Cat Stevens DID NOT write Morning Has Broken. It even notes that on the link you provided. Its an old Christian Hymn. Its in the hymnal at the church I go to. I like the fellowship there even though I am an unbeliever.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints isn't. It's a corporation and not a church. It is the Corporation fo the President. And is one of the best scams around.

OMFG!!! In the Senior Sampler from St George is an ad. "Noah's Ark Built in Utah. Metal tablets created by Noah, could identify the Motherland of Adam. RSVP bmsf@mac.com." What the hell is wrong with these idiots? Most Mormons that I have met have very little real knowledge about the Bible and Biblical Archaeology. And the worst of the lot come up with shite like this.

Anyone have a contact for the person/people who used to maintain the Mormon Alliance pages? It was a great site with lots of info on abuses in the Mormon Church. I'd love to be able to resurrect the pages.

Where are you getting your information? We've had discussions with many TBM's here. However, when they spout incorrect information they are called on it. If you consider correcting someone beating up, then I guess we beat up tbm's.

I'm an agnostic. Don't think there is a god. But I like ancient texts. They interest me. Aesop's fables can teach morality. Hell any morality tale can teach morality. The Power of Myth is great. As Joseph Campbell noted.

For example: "The Hebrew Bible, in Deuteronomy 21: 18 - 21 records the Word of God when it states that God told Moses on Mt.

Not of the New Testament. I use a Greek-English interlineal translation. For the Hebrew Scriptures I try to read as much in Hebrew as I can understand. Which is not a lot yet. But for sticky passages I get out Strong's and other lexicons and study it in Hebrew. I use a modern printed Tanakh and also a transliteration on my computer.
