I only hope that Mahony and Curry and others involved in this are prosecuted.  Since Ratzinger was the Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith during the time Mahony and Curry was…Continue

"Twain's "chloroform in print" remark is in Chapter XVI of his Roughing It. I brought away a copy from Salt Lake. The book is a curiosity to me, it is such a pretentious affair, and yet so "slow," so sleepy; such an insipid…"

"I had never heard this quote from Mark Twain but it applies to all the sermons I ever had to sit through as a child.  Day Dreams were my escape.  I, too, read the book of Mormon years ago and cannot remember a word of it.  Even at…"

"Round in the chamber and a fully loaded clip behind it!"I'm NOT an atheist?  We've just met; you don't know me from Adam, yet you have the unmitigated temerity to tell me who I am!  Would you care to be told who YOU are…"

"Yes, I have had that reaction as well. One bell ringer said, "Oh no you're not!" as if he knew my thinking and ways I make decisions. Such arrogance, self-righteousness,  self-importance deserves a refutation, strongly…"

"I agree Loren, they are cons selling their myths and superstition as truth.   Come to think of it Debra this is my first encounter with female Mormon missionaries. I would like to compare what they believe or think they know about Joseph Smith…"

"Many Jews and Xtians have not read the Torah or the Bible. And, I dare say the same goes for Musims. They might actually be shocked to find out what's in those texts. As to the Book of Mormon, I tried reading it, but after the 100th or so,…"

"Many LDS have not read the Book of Mormon in it's entirety and often do not know the Church's controversial history.  These two young women may not know alot of it either.   Brandi Amari Williams"

"I am a former Mormon. Female missionaries are rare. They sounded shocked to see an atheist in Tennessee which is a suprise for religious folk. The Book of Mormon is an interesting fantasy story. They leave if you ask them to.   Brandi Amari…"

Who's at the door

Thursday evening around 7:30 our door bell rang. We were not expecting anyone and being late for two old people it surprised us.  I opened the door and before me stood two young ladies that I immediately recognized as Mormon (their little name plates gave it away).  They introduced themselves as Megan and Tracy and that they were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Hi John and welcome to this wonderful world of atheist truth and peace

True common sense helped by science leads to atheist wisdom. If freethinkers could only reason with the religious, there would be no religious.
