MalcolmVillager has returned and posted a reintroduction.

Welcome, dear sir! I suppose we can strike you off our list of absentees.

This is a depiction of an alchemist attempting to square a circle, something we now know to be impossible because pi is irrational, but at the time people spent their lives working on a proof. Not merely irrational, but transcendental , which means it is not the root of any polynomial with rational...

Indeed; that's why I said "you may". As far as I know, none of the persons I listed changed their names for the sake of anonymity. If any did, they may notify me, and I shall remove them.

This is to be a list of people who were on the old NOM who changed their names for new NOM, posted at AllieOop's request . - LSOF (formerly lsof) - Korihor (formerly Kishkumen) - Silver Girl (formerly Scared) If you changed your name from old NOM, or know of someone who did, you may post your (their...

She goes by "Silver Girl" now. I wonder where Jeffret and Anya are.

Welcome.

Faith, particularly religious faith, is simply believing what you're told simply because you're told to believe it. Gullibility, in other words.

The prophets are both infallible and capable of learning from past mistakes (however slowly).

I found it on the exmo and NOM subreddits.

The Faithful Origins and Ontology League weighs in on the issue of the seer stone: "Anti-Mormons often use perceived errors in the early editions of the Book of Mormon to make Joseph Smith appear as a false prophet.

What hast thou been doing here?

Joseph's use of a seer stone comes from a tradition called scrying, which is essentially looking at pretty rocks to try and divine the future.

Damn those Kolobians! They've been the enemies of the Moon Quakers for a long time.

I like to call it Jesus' temper tantrum. This sounds more like the "Those mine enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither and slay them before me" and "I am not come to bring peace on earth, but a sword" Jesus than the "Love thine enemies" and "Forgive them until seventy...

I wrote alternate lyrics praising Russell's Teapot, to be sung instead of "Praise to the Man": PRAISE TO THE TEAPOT LSOF "Scotland the Brave" Praise to the Teapot which poured tea for Jehovah; Jesus built tables for that great Crockery. Blessedly unaware of gods and of Dawkins, It spills upon all pa...

The Mountain Meadows Massacre mentality is alive and well, I see.

Unfalsifiable beliefs deserve little more respect than falsified beliefs. I oppose religion for this reason, and because of the harm it has done and continues to do. Once religions (particularly Abrahamic religions, the kind followed by the overwhelming majority of Earth's population) give up their ...

I don't think I'll bother then.

Moksha, you never disappoint.
