dagny: “The thing is, discussing this with a Mormon is a dead end, just like talking about the Bible to a person who views it through rose-colored Jesus glasses.” ==That’s ok. In all my conversations with theists, most are christians. I don’t think I have ever converted anyone or convinced that any single one of my points are valid. I’m fine with that.

Thanks for the reply so far. Also, I just read that Sticky post. I did not know that I should not discuss mormonism and apologetics. Should I post to another forum? Another site? Like I said, I am asking for your assistance. Why? 1. I am having a conversation with a mormon. I don’t know if he is an expert or what but that does not matter. 2. I do not know every detail of the mormon reli

Comedians are sometimes good philosophers and intellectuals. Sometimes, magicians make better scientists such as James Randi. There was a scientist/biologist who had a big name, he was well respected, he has published many scientific whitepapers. He did one research on homeopathy and discovered that it worked. he wanted to publish in Nature, I think. The editor was conflicted and was not sure w

"According to String theory" ==That was about Quantum theory, not String Theory. There is a problem with the Schrodinger hypothetical experiment. It has never been demonstrated that the cat is in a dead and alive state. I am not aware of any experiment that has demonstrated that that idea is actually how nature behaves.

The man went against my religion, which is scientism. When you go against my religion, we kill you. BANG BANG! Note: A couple of people so far have told me that I am into scientism. I really have no idea what that is but I guess it was their way to defend their silly beliefs.

Hello, I am not a mormon and have never been. Is it ok if I ask for your assistance? There is the mention of these 2 animals: curelom and cumom What do mormons think about these? There seems to be a parallel between the Bible and the book of mormon. Both books mention animals that we all know: rabit, bat, etc. Both books mention a couple of animals no one knows what they are suppose t

I'm not a christian anymore. I am an atheist and I'll try to answer. Going to church is traditional. It was also a requirement long ago. You weren't considered normal if you did not go and it might even get you killed or ostracized. Most people could not read and did not have a bible. The priest was the educated person and he would do the reading for you and you payed him. To you and me, Jesu

I am armenian but also, I am in Canada. I'm not sure why you think they were armenian. They could be I suppose. I'm not even sure why you were afraid. Perhaps, you live in a bad neighborhood. From what I hear from my brother who went to California, the armenians there are a bit different. A lot of them left Armenia to escape the soviet atmosphere and corruption. I imagine some of them aren't

Hello people, 1st, I'll ask my question: Do exmormons become christian, budhist, atheist, deist....? I read some of the emails on this site. It looks like mostly, the women turn into some form of christian. One guy said he is an atheist. The other guys don't indicate their new belief. Are there some statistics somewhere? My guess is that most float around a bit and then join one of the U
