I would only submit that if you believe one of the ‘alternate explanations’ is ‘GOD DID IT’…. you’re nuts.

It is true that humans have historically had a hard time finding truth. However, in the last couple of centuries, something called the ’scientific method’ has risen to prominence. This has provided a completely objective way to discover what really is true.

It is by following the scientific method myself that I was able to go from believing mormon to apostate atheist.

lol JL. I don’t know if I would call the Mormon church a cult, but the fact that 76 can agree with you shows that he is at least rational. I think of the church as more of a subculture, now.

That is a welcome relief to the usual hate-filled rants of many atheists and theists alike whenever they argue.

76, Mormons aren’t stupid for not seeing the evidence…usually. Belief-bias is a phenomenon common to all, where people usually first seek/see evidence that supports their view. So a Mormon searches for evidence, finds evidence for the BoM, and has his faith strengthened. The opposite is true as well. It is difficult to be objective.

Thank you for the attempt, though. I get annoyed with people who are just out to attack Mormons, without having actually sought the truth.

I came to the same conclusion about the confirmation when I became familiar with trances, mass hysteria, the Straussberg (sp?) dancing epidemic, and such. Studying anthropology and psychology will do that.

Evidence for the Book of Mormon only shows that Joseph Smith needed help to create it. There is more than one alternative explanation.

Any time Steve, I am the theif!

But I’m no longer looking for traffic to this blog. I haven’t added anything in a long time.

To “measure76″:

I don’t save all of my RfM posts. Since you have publicly declared on RfM the existence of your site in an effort to generate traffic here (and since you have also, in that notification process, publicly alerted RfM readers that you have cut-and-pasted some of my posts from RfM to your site), I have occasionally come here to copy back my own posts.

Gosh, hope you don’t mind that I retrieve some of my own material from you.

Thanks. :)

Dude, listen to your mom. But the Journal of Discourses is a collection of sermons given by early church leaders, primarily Brigham Young.

I will not attempt to actively de-convert a 10-year old, though at your age, you may want to ask what the differences are between God and Santa, and why nobody can ever prove to you there is a God.

Please listen to your parents, and stay away from the evil anti’s like me.

(I grew up mormon, too)
