Fine…I will take fake stories on real lands and you can take the fake stories on fake lands…Who cares if you can walk biblical lands? It’s the stories that really count. Fake stories on real lands and fake stories on unknown lands are about the same in my book. You’re the issue-dodger!
What else have I got? Reality is a place of emptiness; you and I are inevitable accidents in a cold, dark, random cosmos. Whatever sublime, religious truths are raised up, there are scores of materialists to debunk and tear them down… and now the adherents of some competing, yet equally debunked church is there to help out in this devil’s work. I need not look far to find those as rabidly anti Catholic as you are anti Mormon, with their reams of evidence and reason.
I’ll take both.
Then please demonstrate.And I call red herring-times-infinity on you!
Because even if the Book of Mormon is pseudo-historical fiction, and the bible is historical fiction, you still have to deal with the essential fact that both texts are fictional in their accounts. So what if one of them is talking about real places and the other is less specific? To focus attention on the less-specific BoM to distract the argument from the fact that the Bible is equally bunk (in fact, since the Bible calls out specific times and real places, it’s much easier to demonstrate its wrongness) is to create a red herring.
Except you can;t have them. All you have are fake stories on fake lands
And you say you are now an active, practising Mormon? Just wondering, do you guys ever sing “I’ve got joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart…”?
Do you receive no hope in attending the LDS church? How can you have faith in it when it seems that you have faith in nothing? I think you need lots of prayers and you now have mine.
I was just looking for the reference so that I can blast back at my LDS friends when he starts harassing me about the RCCI do receive some hope when I go to church, and I appreciate the expressions of faith and the prayers of all whom I meet… even those of other faiths. The greatest thing about religion, I think, is the way in which it mobilizes the community and gets us together, helping each other out.And you say you are now an active, practising Mormon? Just wondering, do you guys ever sing “I’ve got joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart…”?
God bless.
