urroner Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Are these rhetorical questions?No, I would love to see a serious response to any of them from wes and I don't believe I'm asking too much of him. He's talking about serious comments and I would love for him to show us how to make truly serious comments.

He's talking about serious comments and I would love for him to show us how to make truly serious comments.Nah, it's clear from the majority of his posts that he has his standard "gotcha" checklist and is running through the usual talking points. Don't hold your breath.I do get a kick out of the fact that these posters show up periodically thinking that they're making a novel or original argument that we haven't considered and that we'll just roll over and take our names off of the Church rolls immediately.
LifeOnaPlate Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 So, why do you hold the Church to standards that if your own belief system was held to, it would utterly fail?From what I can tell, wes is not aware of the double-standards. He is completely unaware of them.

betalogistic Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 I think it's more than clear that Twain thought the BOM was a joke.I don't think that Twain can be considered an authority on the BOM. Why should I care what Twain thought? He also thought that God had no convictions. IMO, Twain was absurd in his satire.What God lacks is convictions--stability of character. He ought to be a Presbyterian or a Catholic or something, -- not try to be everything. -- Mark Twain, (Mark Twain Papers, ts 45, p. 40; Mark Twain's Notebook, p. 344) From "The Quotable Mark Twain," edited by R. Kent Rasmussen, published by Contempory Books, 1997, p. 113
gmormon Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 ...So, why don't you discuss the problems you have with the Church in lieu of throwing out mindless accusations that you won't defend?So, why do you hold the Church to standards that if your own belief system was held to, it would utterly fail?Why did you continue to bring MT into the discussion when he has nothing to do with the truthfulness or the lack thereof of the Church?Why do you behave like a trouble maker and then say that you aren't behaving like one?wes what are your responses to urroner questions?
