LDS - Mormonism Guidelines

Theists only.

Look! It's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's a bicycle built for two!

This forum is a debate area to discuss issues pertaining to the LDS - Mormons. This forum is generally for theists only, and is generaly not the area for debate between atheists and theists. Non-theists may not post here without first obtaining permission from the moderator of this forum. Granting of such permission is subject to Moderator discretion - and may be revoked if the Moderator feels that the poster is not keeping with the spirit of the World Religions Department.

Due to the sensitive nature of the LDS Temple Ceremonies to our LDS posters, we do not allow posting exact text of the temple rituals, articles describing older versions of the ceremony, or links that provide the same information. However discussion of generalities of the ceremony are not off limits. If in doubt, PM the area mod or an Admin


Non-theists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions.

    Some language warnings on this link, but Kevin wrote a few of these articles...

      Interesting!
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Wrong Kevin. I was talking about Kevin Graham, not Other Cheek. Different people

                        Interesting that Kerry now claims to be an atheist, and lists his reason as:

                        Having read through many texts by John W. Loftus, George H. Smith, Christopher Hitchins, Richard Dawkins, Victor J. Stenger, Sam Harris, Dan Barker, Hector Avalos, and others, I can plainly see why Christianity doesn't have a chance, biblically, logically, or spiritually.

                              I know I'm resurrecting a months-old thread, but: I don't think the Mormon church has put out anything official about not participating on discussion boards. There have always been murmurings against participating on discussion boards or blogs that could be "faith-destroying," and reading literature that would be "faith-destroying," but that's nothing new.

                              Kevin Graham and Kerry Shirts (as Philo Sofee) are both active participants on another Mormon-themed message board if you ever want to look them up.
