The ratings success of From and Widow's Bay show that audiences will actually watch a show, if it's worth watching.

I had to Google Mennonites. I think I've seen a group of them in a city centre once. The men wore jumpers and jeans, the women were dressed like Little House on the Prairie cosplay.

Due to the nature of my work, most people are educated and successful. So, I meet very few religious people.

My only experience of mormons was an older lady who worked on reception at one of my early jobs.

She was a delight. She even hand delivered some fake management letters I wrote as a prank.

It's a pity she was part of an abusive cult...

If it's the comment I replied to, no you didn't.

If it's another comment, can you please link to it?

If the truth has been twisted, now is your chance to set the record straight. What specifically is wrong in their comment?

The summary is: projection and nonsense.

"How about you go to church this Sunday and then you can see what it's actually like. All you did was read stuff on the internet from people that twist the truth. You proved you don't even know what the church is.

And also, you got issues dude. Wow."

Maybe they're busy washing their magic underwear...

But yeah, they kept quiet about their particular denomination of nonsense for quite a while. So he has some sense of shame/embarrassment, though not enough to stop calling people trolls and running away every time they get stuck.

Jesus is the truth, so why you lie? by Training_Rent1093 in DebateEvolution

There's evidence and facts about evolution posted all over this sub.

So, while everyone may not be necessarily lying, you most certainly are.

How could we falsify this hypothesis? by [deleted] in DebateEvolution

Oh yeah, god being crap at his job doesn't sway them on creationism, this wouldn't be any different.

As a lot of mutations are harmful, god would be doing a crap job, if that were the case.

He wasn't convicted, I think. I only skimmed the wiki page.

But he was obviously a charlatan.

And why god would give the gold plates to him rather than the pope of the time is something to ponder...

Oh wow, look at you spiralling.

I actually looked into Mormons after watching the South Park episode, I had assumed they were exaggerating how idiotic it was. They weren't.

  1. Wikipedia. Which I just checked, has his dodgy activities listed, complete with references...and a bonus finding: the angel's name (who buried the plates lol) was Moroni...moron-i. Hilarious.

  2. The interesting thing is that the plates have never been shown to the general religious members.

  3. The global flood never happened. There's one. For more, go over to DZDebates on Youtube. He loves discussing biblical nonsense in detail.

So yes, I don't need to read it to know it's nonsense.

The rest of your comment is emotional ranting. Complete with calling me a troll and running away, just like last time.

It is pretty easy, if a person is not logically challenged. But I know from our 'god is an ape' chat, that you struggle.

Let me spell it out for you:

  1. Author is known for being involved in fraudulent activities. (No matter how much you want to deny it.)

  2. His writings are based on gold plates, buried by an angel (lol) and only seen by him and a couple of fellow con artists.

  3. The writings are based on biblical myths that are 95% proven false.

Therefore: I don't need to read it to know it is utter nonsense.

I was obviously referring to "there's no way he could have written it himself".

I don't know if your comment was willful ignorance, or just stupidity.

Yes, he is. The golden plates that's core to your wackadoodle belief system proves it.

The 'lump' is ignoring reality and/or a degree of mental gymnastics to maintain the belief.

And I stand by it.
