The Bible vs. The Book of Mormon
This film is available on DVD for only $4 a copy at:

Please keep discussion threads civil and refrain from personal attacks.
SYNOPSIS:
The Book of Mormon claims to be “a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible.” Both the Bible and the Book of Mormon declare themselves to be ancient, historical, and reliable rules of faith–the very word of God.
These claims have historically been taken on faith. But is there any evidence to support them one way or the other? Is it even possible to “test” a rule of faith? More to the point, is there any basis for placing one’s faith in the Bible or the Book of Mormon?
It’s an important question. It’s an eternal question. This presentation puts the Bible and the Book of Mormon to the same tests. History, archaeology, textual criticism, and other disciplines combine to shed light on what is true…and what is false.
Truth never fears investigation. Faith need not–and should not–be blind. Discover for yourself which of these books is worthy of being called “scripture” and which is worth of your trust.
Participants: Thomas W. Murphy, William Wilson, Philip Lindholm, Philip Johnston, Peter Williams, Simon Gathercole, Gabriel Barkay, and others.

“Mormonism is fake so much like evolution.”
Ok, explain how it is that endogenous retroviruses don’t prove that apes and humans don’t have a common ancestor.
Doesn’t anatomical and molecular suboptimal function disprove a designer?
Why convergence and parahomology?

“We are NOT MORMONISM. What the FREAK is MORMONISM?”
Are you really this dumb? Who called you “mormonism?” Mormonism is a quasi-christian belief system centered around the Book of Moron and Horny Joe. Yes, you believe in mormonism.
“We are the Church of JEsus Christ. The one true Church of Jesus Christ.”
I don’t know how much more obvious the fraud needs to get. EVERY claim that LDS Inc has made has been proven false.

“did your mommy tell you that you’re right?”
No, the facts do.
“was your ex girlfriend a mormon. wouldn’t give it up, like other girls did? She wanted to wait till marriage and now you got beef with all mormons?”
I love it how cultists like yourself NEVER address arguments, and instead use ad hominem logical fallacies against critics. How pathetic.
“Get a job, get a life.”
What makes you think I don’t have both?
“The church of jesus Christ is true.”
Again, what’s so true about it?

I’m not the one believing in a zombie space god from kolob who was born of a virgin. He came to earth to fix the problems caused by the first man, living just 6000 years ago, who was spoken to by a magical talking serpent and convinced him to eat magical forbidden fruit. I’m not the one that believes in magical disappearing gold plates, magical underpants, or silly sacred handshakes and passwords to get to heaven. I’m not the one that follows a serial adulterer and pedophile.

We are the Church of JEsus Christ. The one true Church of Jesus Christ.
People try to conceal our name. We are the Saints of Jesus Christ’s Church.
Take your faithlessness elsewhere.

“Take your Faithlessness elsewhere”
You can take your faithlessness regarding Zeus somewhere else. Zeus will fuck you up.

mormonism is a cult and a mental disorder.

“Scott and I interviewed linguists, archealogists, virtually anyone but the one being with whom we should’ve placed all our trust in the first place — our Father in Heaven.”
How do you know that your testiphony isn’t just your own emotions, or worse, satan?
Why would the supposed creator of the universe want us to not use the brain that he/she/it gave us and instead rely on feelings and emotion?
Doesn’t Morg scripture say “the glory of god is intelligence?” Why do mormons shun facts?

The LDS gospel that combines the Bible (Judah’s bow) & the Book of Mormon (Ephraim’s arrow) as one shall go forth like lightning & be an ensign to the nations (see Zecharaiah ch 9:13-16)….
13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion..
14 And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning….
16. ..for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

Religion gets you no where. It’s a personal relationship between the beliver and there god. In my case The father, the son and the holy spirit.
bonnienettles on January 18, 2009 at 5:29 am
My point is that all religions are selling their own cult based on ‘faith’ and flimsy ‘evidence’ in support of their fantastic claims. For each and every one, “you just gotta BELIEVE”. There is no big difference between faith in one religion, and faith in any other.
Very true.

I guess you’re right, here have some milk and cookies.

I guess we can see how loving and compassionate these religious people are. Telling people to go to hell, and calling them ’scum’ no less. Must be what their God wants them to do. But I’ll be respectful if such nastiness is part of their religious practice. 94% of the US thought that slavery and segregation were fine and dandy. What is popular is not always right, what is right is not always popular. I’ll pray that Odin grants you kindness and tact, since your Gods haven’t.

If the lack of belief in any gods is a disease, then which SINGLE religion is the cure and why.
GodLovedJosephSmith on January 30, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Take your Faithlessness elsewhere. you can’t influence the 94% of the united States that believes that there is an afterlife, and a diety.
Go to hell, scum
Darkbison7 on February 2, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Good thing I’m an atheist instead of an ‘athiest’ whatever that is. You are an ‘atheist’ when it comes to Zeus, Appolo, Thor, Odin, Horus etc…So don’t fault me when I take it one god further.
