Re: The Trickster God
... I'm thinking of it as a sort of bait and switch. Will you do everything I tell you? Even this thing I have forbidden, like kill your only covenant son?) I feel like I need a God I can trust. A God who will tell me the truth. A God that, when I pray, answers me first instead of letting the devil...

Re: The Trickster God
Maybe Bill Reel and RFM could host a podcast with Ed and discuss Trickster God in a similar podcast to that one with Bennet? What do you think Bill, Consiglieri, or Ed? PS, thank you Ed for the wonderful thought experiment! I think NOM is ready for #2! Oh really. So that we can go through again wha...

Re: The Trickster God
Wow! That escalated fast. Maybe he isn't the same ed I saw posting on LDSFF (or maybe I didn't read/see enough of his posts to see him get so upset). I missed most of his posts on NOM, since they are just a . now, but some of the name-calling quotes. Just, wow! The trickster God is something I've s...

Re: The Trickster God
I like the idea of worshipping Trickster God or at least the idea of Trickster God Theory (TGT). Ed makes a few good points that show the beauty of TGT. If the normal, rational, positive belief doesn’t make sense, then make up whatever you want. Ed has done this in an fairly wordy but pseudo intell...

Re: The Trickster God
Just for clarification from my side of the story. I started my own thread on this forum, and I was the owner of that thread with the declared OP. People came on there deliberately taking me grossly out of context when I carefully and very deliberately qualified what I meant by "Trickster", which is ...

Re: Thought Experiment 1: Correct Faithful Worldview/Paradigm for BOA
OK, so I see that Ed picked up his ball and went home sometime while I was away. I just want to say something in case Ed or any future Eds are reading this. We have seen similar behavior several times. Next time maybe spend a month or so just reading the group to understand the vibe and get the lay...

This whole thing feels like you are here to convince us that we are wrong and we should just trust you because you have it all figured out. I am with w2mz on this. Pointless. Yes, indeed, because of the lack of willingness on all of your parts, it is indeed pointless, not because I wasn't serious a...

Re: The Trickster God
Perhaps you need to stick around and not base whether or not you are accepted on this or other forums on whether or not your theory gets acceptance. Over at mormondiscussions.com, it was the same thing. You pushed your theory and then got hostile when it wasn't accepted. How about discuss other thi...

Re: The Trickster God
You are wearing out your welcome, Ed. We generally welcome disagreement here, but you have jumped straight to being disagreeable. Name calling is no way to further meaningful discussion. I read your introduction. At the time I suspected your issue with other forums said more about you than it did a...

Re: The Trickster God
Cause and effect. Gravity. Justice.
Shoot yourself in the head, and you die, because you can't escape the consequence.
You were the one that did it, so you made the choice, and you got the consequence.
Stupid is that stupid does, and stupid receives.

Re: Thought Experiment 1: Correct Faithful Worldview/Paradigm for BOA
Since this thread has devolved and is not accomplishing anything, and we are now on a separate trickster God debate, by those making one an offender for a word, and not thinking through the other descriptions and words used of the point to be made, I am abandoning this thread. See you on other threa...

Re: Trying to get a feel for this forum
Fair enough. You gotta do you. You can know/believe anything you want. Still feels like a game of “Punch me in the stomach as hard as you can to see how tough I am” though. When we’re done, let’s play the opposite game where you, as a true believer, pretend to know absolutely that Joseph WAS a frau...
