    Joseph Smith - Prophet of God

    Joseph Smith - Prophet of God

    Wrong, the OP states: "The good fruits produced by this tree include a worldwide church [A Mormon "worldwide church" is quite a stretch; there are some pretty significant countries in which the church doesn't exist] that is active and dilligent in the preaching of salvation through Christ [and...

    Joseph Smith - Prophet of God

    Not according to the OP. Apparently you can figure out if Smith was a true prophet by his "fruits". Polaris is arguing that what Smith produced (the fruit from his tree) proves he is a true prophet. If Polaris was intellectually honest and consistent with his reasoning, one would only have to...

    Joseph Smith - Prophet of God

    I think it is easy to argue that the church Smith established has not been good and honorable in various instances at various times throughout it's history. But this doesn't mean the church is only bad or good - that would be falling prey to that black or white thinking again. The church has...

    Why can't it be a metaphor and hilarious? Sorry, I don't mean to kill your buzz dude.

    Joseph Smith - Prophet of God

    I don’t accept the arguments premise. You quoted Matthew: "ye shall know them by their fruits... a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit". I don’t accept everything Jesus said as absolute truth. Frankly, I think it is reasonable to believe...

    Part 2, an attack on creationism

    By definition (LDS) your beliefs attack (I use the word “attack” the way you are using it) another’s belief; do you see what I mean? If you really understand your religion then you must concede that it attacks all others. But I'm guessing you just don't like to think of it this way.

    Jedi as a religion

    I like to use the Jedi mind trick on my friends when I need taxi fare, but that is about all I use the religion for. "Jediism is a religion based around the Force. Jediism members believe in the Force as our religion and the Jedi path as our philosophy and way of life, a Jedi Realist. To be...

    Intellectual repugnance

    Ozzie, very interesting question, I don't know how I net out on this just yet. I need to savor the question for a while. Let me think out loud for a few seconds. My apologies in advance if I have missed the objective of your original post. I can identify times when I have been conscious of...

    Is It Gods Obligation?

    What is hell? Emo this: You're on the checkout line at a supermarket. There are seven people in front of you. They are all old. They all have two carts and coupons for every item. They are all paying by check. None of them have ID. It's the checkout girl's first day on the job. She doesn't...

    Is there a universal morality?

    I mistrust all absolutes.

    Why Do You Argue?

    Not all arguments are the same. Some arguments are healthy, some are not. Healthy arguments don't need to have a resolution IMHO. The word "argument" takes a bad rap because of the preponderance of unhealthy argument and because many associate an argument with fighting. Adults can argue...

    Cane sugar vs refined

    Hi Willamena, thank you for the warm welcome. Regarding your thread question, I haven't tried unrefined cane sugar so I can't say if it is preferable. My body and regular sugar do not get along but my taste buds haven't read the memo. :eek:

    Rush Limbaugh eats everything!

    Very interesting and disturbing; Rush becomes a metaphor for over consumption and the end of the world? (but I only got to about page 22 so I might be in left field)
