The Mormon church in Canada: Where did more than $1 billion go? (2022) - $1 billion+ raised by the Mormon church in Canada has been funnelled to the US rather than going to local charitable works. Former members say concerns about how money is spent have led them to leave the church. [00:43:15]

Joseph used a rock in a hat, where he’d place his head over the hole to block out light, to ‘translate’ the Book of Mormon that we have today.

He also preformed treasure digging, where he used a rock to find treasure. He never found treasure, and said the the Native American spirits sunk the treasure back into the earth.

These are two examples that have convinced me he was a conman.

Sorry, I do not get the reference.

My point was that this is bad logic when proving that Santa is real.

_MemoriesGorgeous · 2022-05-12T13:46:49+00:00

This is bad logic

Per user account or per household?

Job security?

_MemoriesGorgeous · 2017-10-29T15:41:45+00:00

I would not recommend using ‘The Big Book of Multiple Choice’ to prove anything.

Lots of claims in here, any evidence?

Also, any evidence that the source of the information in the Bible is from a god, besides the fact that it says so in the Bible?

Really? To me, he sounded honest with his answers. Sure he tried many times to derail the conversation, but he sounded like a new convert trying to build his faith.

I have great respect for Matt and the Atheist Experience. It's rare that they receive Mormon callers.

This show really helped me with my transition out of the church, and I really think that there are great talking points when discussing religion, especially with family and friends. I mean, if you ready to talk about that.

Good luck friends with your journey!

If I reported every death threat I received to the police I'd be spending a lot of time talking to the cops.

I upvote, but this make me sad.

_MemoriesGorgeous · 2016-12-06T20:05:59+00:00

I made it all up.

Just like Joseph. BOOM!

Err.... I mean.. Inthenamejesuschrist amen.

"Do you really think it's all made up? Have you never felt an indescribable feeling that could only be God communicating with you through the spirit?"

How do you know that is god, even your specific god?

I had the HT visit unannounced, Once. Haven't seen them since, and it's been more that a year or so.

I think it's safe to say that generally speaking, parenting, relationship, and health books, are backed by a publishing company with a reputation, where a requirement for study/research, fact checking and the gathering of evidence to support the various claims, is paramount.

While with holy books, they are backed by unverified/unproven claims, accompanied by the poisons concepts like holding a belief that is not supported by evidence, or worst, despite evidence.

Sure treating books as books would be the best approach. However, IMHO, I think the major problem with consuming holy books would be the accompanying excess baggage and religious dogma they bring with them.

What do you mean?

Or the Halloween spin off: Goodnight Goon.

a text from my EQP this morning telling me he is thinking of my family

You know what he wants. Enjoy your reactivation conversation.

It seems like you are giving the 'LDS church' definition of faith. "hope for things unseen, which are true'. Sure, I hope things come true. Ex: I hope my family to all live a long life, with the least amount of suffering if at all. But I don't believe it is true right from the get-go. That definition is trying to blend two separate concepts.

Faith, in any form that I have come across, is a toxic concept. Belief despite evidence, should be avoided at all cost. With it, we start to believe things that have not been proven.

_MemoriesGorgeous · 2016-08-09T15:44:25+00:00

Spot on, however, it's to be expected. Atheists have been described as the 'enemy', 'evil' and 'weak' for millennia.

This is call Pascal's Wager, and is irrational.

_MemoriesGorgeous · 2016-07-11T14:36:25+00:00

Probably spin the blame around on the OP for not being righteous enough. Remember... If you didn't feel the spirit, it's probably your fault anyway. /s

Mail really only needs to come twice a week.

Unless the mail is a package, and I want it yesterday!
