"There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism - by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide." One smart woman By that logic, with which I disagree, the ...

What is your source for this? Many opposed Trump when he was president? Who did he imprison? With all due respect, your claim is pure gaslighting. Biden’s DOJ and Soros’s DA’s are taking political prisoners and incarcerating enemies. Perhaps you are correct about Trump, but if you are, it can be a p ...

Strange how you fixate on what isn't the standard in the law in this case.

Have to see the evidence won't we.

And yet the investigations into solindra found no wrongdoing.

I've already answered was it a criminal trial.

Why is the distinction important here? Is it less fraud? Is it less sexual abuse?

Would you let a civilly convicted child abuser babysit your kids?

Meh. Fraud for paying back a loan? That is not the charge and you should know that. If you want to misrepresent facts that's your choice. It remains that Trump has been found guilty of fraud. You also neglected to talk about his conviction for sexual abuse. And you tried a fallacious distraction on ...

doesn't have a criminal record, That is becoming less and less true. He's been convicted of sexual abuse, civilly. He's guilty of fraud in the NYC case, but again, civilly. Our law differentiates between criminal and civil things but those two cases above look pretty criminal in behavior to me ...

I don't think we have anything like the full story. It was heavily spun after the fact for face saving purposes. And probably before hand for general scam purposes. Based on no evidence, just my understanding of human nature, I suspect that: Martin Harris had his own doubts about JS the scammer ...

Word vulgarity follows.

There is a book about cursing, Holy Fucking Shit. That title explains what curse words are based around.

The Sacred

Sexual things

Various Excreta

So which one of those does the word mormon fit? I don't have a problem putting it any of the categories.

As far as I can tell, your Nazarite quote has nothing to do with your interpretation.

It seems to me that Moses is a fictional account. There is no supporting evidence.

Why do you care? Mote and beam and all that. I mean there is no demonstrable reason to think any religion has it right. And plenty to think they're wrong. Most of us don't view the bible as being a guide to life. Or correct about what is right and wrong. So when you tell us we're all bad based on ...

No. Many are apartments, corporate spaces and the like in the middle floors of buildings in big cities. No garden space.

I've been trying to disengage from discussion of Mormonism pro or con. I try to avoid the forums. I'm in a relapse at the moment. But hopefully you'll see less and less of me as I succeed in disengaging.

Paine's Age of Reason on prophets No one will deny or dispute the power of the Almighty to make such a communication if he pleases. But admitting, for the sake of a case, that something has been revealed to a certain person, and not revealed to any other person, it is revelation to that person only ...

Mormons have to turn to the BOM, you're saved by grace after all you can do. So Ephesians is one of the "translation errors" of the NT. Of course, it's likely that Paul didn't write Ephesians at all, but is instead Paul fan fiction or apologia. In the more authentic of Paul's letters, it's debatable ...

Turns out the truth probably isn't an evolutionary advantage. Our perceptions and processing evolved to be pretty lossy.

He certainly is not preacing in harmony with the gospels nor what Christianity became.
