Scott Lloyd Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 On the thread about CARM's resurgence of the controversy about "adieu" in the Book of Mormon, some have commented on that being the dumbest of the dumb anti-Mormon arguments. Some have opined that criticism about the Book of Mormon mention of Christ being born "at Jerusalem" (the land, not the city) comes close to matching "adieu" in dumbness.Greg Smith has suggested that the notion of Joseph Smith letting the cat out of the bag because he was listed (for legal reasons) as the author of the Book of Mormon in the first edition takes the supreme prize for anti-Mormon dumbness.I would be interested in other suggestions. Perhaps between us we could compile a Top 10 Dumbness List for criticisms by anti-Mormons.
Zakuska Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Any of the supposed language anachronisms could be listed as dumb. (eg Greek "Alpha and Omega")Native americans not knowing about Wheels.
gmormon Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Joesph Smith had a gun and defended himself, his brother, and his friends at his martyr

jwhitlock Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Anything from Ed Decker!IIRC, it was his explanation that "mormon" was defined as "gates of hell" in Chinese.
Zakuska Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Jesus was a Christian.The Bible is error free.
Mola Ram Suda Ram Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I guess we have a good start. I agree that adieu and the land of Jerusalem are really lame, one of my other favorites is that it was impossible for Moroni to use the term Christian as in the bible it says that "And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch".See see, the bible says that the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch therefore it is impossible for Moroni to use the term.
Bill “Papa” Lee Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 That God would not command Nephi to kill Laban, when he (God) commanded Saul to wipe out an entire culture.
Mola Ram Suda Ram Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 My vote still goes for "adieu".Me too, this one holds absolutly no water.
Vance Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I guess we have a good start. I agree that adieu and the land of Jerusalem are really lame, one of my other favorites is that it was impossible for Moroni to use the term Christian as in the bible it says that "And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch".See see, the bible says that the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch therefore it is impossible for Moroni to use the term.In reality, this one is almost EXACTLY like "adieu", but it isn't as sexy I guess.I have to agree, that so far "adieu" is the dumbest.
Scott Lloyd Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 I might throw into the pot for consideration the circular argument that Mormonism can't be true because some uniquely Mormon beliefs aren't in the Bible.
Doctor Steuss Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 My favorites (that document the frightening evils of Mormonism):#1 - Temples are meant to prepare for the eventual Kolobian invasion.#2 - There

Scott Lloyd Posted November 20, 2009 Author Posted November 20, 2009 That Mormons "dishonor the dead" because they perform non-binding salvific rites for the deceased in temples. (See my sig line.)

Mola Ram Suda Ram Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 That Mormons "dishonor the dead" because they perform non-binding salvific rites for the deceased in temples. (See my sig line.)Whoa what a non issue. Why worry about it then??This one fails right out of the gate.
Doctor Steuss Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 You forgot that there is an extensive network of tunnels under Salt Lake, dug by the Reptillian ETs in coordination with the Q15 (some GAs actually are Reptillians).No, I didn't forget it, but I would suggest that you forget it.If you know what's good for you...
