Noah's Ark was round

As always colton, I suspect we're going to go deeper on Mormon topics than everyone else

Always got to out do everyone, cause, you know, we're not on your level. ****ing elitism.

I'm actually really impressed with dalamon. High five, little bro.

Much the same way one cannot be atheist, but rather agnostic?

Again, I don't see this as a response to my post. Responding nonetheless, depends on how the words are defined. I lack belief in any gods, which is the usual definition atheists use. I am certain enough of their non-existence that I don't account for said existence in any of my daily activities. Generally, agnostics are those who allow for the existence of gods.

However, I don't claim my lack of belief is knowledge. There is no convincing philosophical proofs that no gods can exist. There are no ways to measure it. I don't think of my lack of faith as being any better knowledge than your faith.

Pretty much. There exists an element of faith that is foreign (in the religious context) to you and thus throws off any semblance of sequituriousness.

I believed in God for the first 40 years of my life. Belief is not at all foreign to me; I'm only recently becoming accustomed to non-belief.

the bottom line - - everyone, or at least almost everyone, has faith in something

Oh, and the Smithsonian's position is apparently this:

When you posted this, I read it as a clear rebuke of the accuracy of the Book of Mormon. As the conversation unfolded, it bewildered me to see that anyone could take this as saying the opinion was neutral, mixed, and anything other than a blanket condemnation.

I'd say everyone has faith in something. I am using faith in a broad way here. Faith is an intregal part of being human. Fiath in God, faith it'll all work out, faith there is no God, faith it wont work out, faith you'll get better when you're sick, faith you'll get a job...

I have faith in Corbin

Any omnipotent god would have recognized this long ago, and found a better way to transmit knowledge/truth (you know, like letting people critically examine and analyze the world around them). Any god worth worshiping wouldn't be so concerned about our worship or devotion to small points of doctrine/dogma that are irrelevant to the problems real people/others face today.

I love you. Let me say this though: As a father, I'm going to let my kids crash and burn more often than not, and if/when (ya right) they are stuck, they come to me for answers or advice, I'll probably give it to them. If they've been **** heads for 30 years and treated me and everyone else like dump, I may not be so inclined to help. I probably will, but that's just the liberal in me. I tend to believe that my God is the same way. I don't expect him to help me with anything, tbh, unless I'm really in a pickle and need some good old fashioned help or advice. I usually get it, too. Real problems that real people/others face are the domain of people who need to figure them out on their own, not the responsibility of a God. Just my two cents.

Not me. I can't stand ANYONE that thinks they have all the answers.. only village idiots believe that.

<--- Has all the answers.
