Disclaimer: I am former LDS and "anti" mormonism. I post articles from official mormon sources that often relate to current discussions taking place on the forum to provide a means for open discussion in the Religion forum.
 
FROM THE RELIGION FORUM MODERATOR:

Open threads are a town square. Antagonism though not encouraged, should be expected

Posters may argue for or against beliefs of any kind. They may tear down other’s beliefs. They may ridicule.

On all threads, but particularly “open” threads, posters must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Making a thread “about” another Freeper is “making it personal.”

When in doubt, review your use of the pronoun “you” before hitting “enter.”

Like the Smoky Backroom, the conversation may be offensive to some.

Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

 Thin-skinned (emotional, whiney or mercurial temper) posters are the disruptors on open threads.

Aren't even the Mormons watching the Hockey Game?

They are resurfacing the rink and then it's something like suden death.

If this were basketball this would be called a barn burner.

Whatever you can say about Joey, its for certain he never it made past the 7th verse of the first chapter of Paul’s Letter to the Galatians as written in REAL Scripture.

If he had, he might have known that the demon moron(i) is accursed...

The mormon church will not excommunicate Beck, he’s one of their best advertisements, but I expect a major meltdown before long.

Joseph certainly had a distinctive writing style

From Fawn Brodie's classic biography Joseph Smith: No Man Knows My History:

One visitor [to Nauvoo], Henry Caswall, an Episcopalian preacher from St. Louis College, armed himself with an ancient manuscript psalter written in Greek and, pretending to be ignorant of its contents offered it to Joseph for his scrutiny. Under the prophet's questioning he finally admitted that he believed the language to be Greek, but this Joseph contradicted. Caswall later related the story as follows:

"No, it ain't Greek at all," Joseph said, "except perhaps a few words. What ain't Greek is Egyptian; and what ain't Egyptian is Greek. This book is very valuable. It is a dictionary of Egyptian hieroglyphics." Pointing to the capital letters at the commencement of each verse, he went on: "Them figures is Egyptian hieroglyphics written in reformed Egyptian. Them characters is like the letters that was engraved on the golden plates."

What exactly did Joe Smith ever write, from scratch without his bogus 'seer stones' or plagiarizing?

Joe Smith couldn't write Jack. The great writers were the reporters of the Nauvoo Expositor (newspaper); you know, the one Joe Smith criminally ordered to be destroyed.

Fur Shur the National Hockey League won the game ~ no matter the other outcomes.

If every NHL team did that every game you'd see the audience grow at an exponential rate.

I am happy for Canada. Couldn’t let the women outdo the men in hockey. Though I think the women can definitely out drink them.

Ah, Joseph Smith, the self-proclaimed “American Mohammed.” They had a lot in common: pedophilia, made-from-whole-cloth religions...Heck, go for the hat trick and grab L. Ron Hubbard!

Here is a link to one of the google options. I read this about 25 years ago and I really, really was affected by it.

IMO, it is not necessarily the path, but the destination.

this song by Boston (written by Tom Scholz)

And feelin' the way I do
Wouldn't last a mile without you.
When I'm losing' the way
The things that you say
Take me there -- my destination
My destination
Is by your side
Right by your side.

And I -- I've taken so long I know
Never had so far to go.
It's not where you can be.
It's what you can see
That takes you there -- your destination

Your destination
It's here inside
Right here inside

Actually, Jesus is Truth...

Jesus said to Joey Smith, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by ME.” John 14:6
