Guynemer, you're right - America is FVCKED up.

I think Joseph Smith was making fun of his followers when he decided to call his angel "Moroni"

[Ben Kenobi]

Well you're going to have one heck of a time of Milt Romney wins in 2012. Obama has been rather lenient with those woh called him a muslim, but if Romeny wins and you call him a muslim? Oh man, you might be moving to Gitmo

As opposed to the present company? I'm not a fan of Romney, but in all honesty, you don't see mormons flying planes into the WTC. Only Muslims seem to do that.

So yes, there are some very major differences between the two.

However, they are not Christians. Christians don't make up their whole new book and add it onto the rest.

[Aeson]

Christians don't make up their whole new book and add it onto the rest.

[Tuberski]

Yeah Christians don't make up whole new books and add to the old made up books.

ACK!

[giblets]

Paul wasn't a Christian because he wrote new books, I guess.

[Ben Kenobi]

Paul wasn't a Christian because he wrote new books, I guess.

He didn't. He wrote Epistles, letters to different Churches at the time. He didn't write a book and call it the 'book of Paul' and then have it added on to all the rest.

Here's a question. Who was the first to add the Epistles together with the Gospels to form the bible that we now know of?

[Ben Kenobi]

Yeah Christians don't make up whole new books and add to the old made up books.

They honestly didn't, not in the way the book of Mormon works.

The bible that we have today wasn't actually put together until 300 years after the last book was written. Crucially, the people who wrote the books weren't the ones who decided whether they should get put in. Rather an important thought.

Here's my question. If Joseph Smith were an Apostle, like all the others, why should we believe Joseph Smith, over anybody else?

[Tuberski]

Ummm, the Book of Mormon was put together ~800 years after the last book was written, we just know the name of the person that put it together.

Why should we believe your Pope?

It's called faith for a reason.

ACK!

[MrFun]

Exactly! Someone gets it.

I was arguing that Christianity was there first, (ie, before islam), as we were discussing islam.

Funyun deliberately misinterprets this to mean: Christianity was there before any other religion, "ie, polytheists"

I took advantage of his ambiguity to make fun of his comment by asking the rhetorical question, "Muslims are polytheists?"

haw, haw, haw - uz fawny

As opposed to the present company? I'm not a fan of Romney, but in all honesty, you don't see mormons flying planes into the WTC. Only Muslims seem to do that.

Well they did massacre non-Mormon settlers and they did fire on American soldiers, but in all fairness that was a long time ago.

[Boris Godunov]

I wonder how many of the smug Polytubbies realize that Islam does ban other religions... Try starting a church in Saudi Arabia some time.

How many Mosques are in Vatican City, Ben?
