You may be right, unless he is a true believer. Then we really never had a chance in the first place. But since he was actually examining evidence, there's an ultra thin slim chance of hope that he will change.Zero132132 wrote:No, for now, he will believe that we're the ones at fault. The important thing is, deep down, he's questioning. That's why we'll win eventually... because we're right.
Why don't all missionaries just fucking die?

You're right Mike. I don't know what came over me last week. I read my posts and I see myself talking like my YEC father.Darth Wong wrote:I can't believe these mountains of apologist tripe that Servo is spouting. I expect that kind of idiotic bullfuckery from Terr Fangbite, but I never thought Servo was this bad.
I concede that there is as much evidence for the Book of Mormon as there is for the great flood, the resurrection of Jesus, and God himself.

From reading that, and since 'Servo' was talking to 'Mike', I just spaced out and had an MST3K flashback for about twenty seconds before snapping out of it.Darth Servo wrote:Darth Wong wrote:You're right Mike.

I second him. Good to have you back with the rationalist camp.Guardsman Bass wrote:Thank you, Darth Servo. That was a debate end in good taste.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

How the hell did I miss this thread? I live in the middle of Mormon-dom on Earth and didn't get to partake in this.
Damn it.They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
