I've seen the kind of thing you post in the philosophy thread _J_. You gonna' get trounced.
Most importantly, you are not going to be able to argue historical facts with them. That is what they are most prepared against. Anything you claim, no matter how good the source, will be ignored as just anti-Mormon propaganda. They have their own alternate history of their religion that would put Dr. Who to shame.
Will all of their positions come back to a foundation of "The Book of Mormon / Joseph Smith says so"?
Essentially yes. They are at core arguing from a position of revealed truth. Though they do have an impressive amount of pseudoscience and falsified history from various Mormom professors to try and gloss over a lot of their unsavory past.
If I try to compare their revealed truth with other revealed truth will they give an account of how the other revealed truth is incorrect other than "that is not what our revealed truth says"?
They might. It's essentially the same argument that many religions (at the least anything Abrahamic) boils down to: we're the correct ones and everyone else isn't.
Mormons are just a bit unusual because they are no recent and relatively well documented. Joseph Smith was a fraud of course. But then so was the nameless person or persons who wrote the Gospel of Matthew or Luke + Acts or Revelations.
Plus there's the attempted americanization of Christianity such that there was a super-secret testament of jesus christ hidden on the North American continent...somehow.
Also, how the fuck Native Americans got here from the Middle East. And why they are so terrible at turning profits if they are jewish.

Sometimes she wanted to be called a he, sometimes he wanted to be called a she. I'm with J on this one since Obo was never clear about what pronoun to use.
I would give the mormons more credit if they carried around pistols or something to represent how gangster their founder went out. Christians have the cross, Mormons should have like a .45.
If I was a religious man I would be an Alvian. The man Killed for our sins. He was the holiest man ever to slap iron.
Honestly I bet like 5 people got it from the show and they were all fucking each other in the ass. I feel safe since Kakos is over his illness and senj is canadian.
Don't feel too safe that I'm over my illness. My immune system is pretty fucking strong. This is the first time I've been sick beyond sniffles in about ten years and I attribute the compromise to the fact that I was exhausted from con-going and being exposed to pathogens my body isn't used to. Good luck!
My immune system is also strong. I go a long time without major illnesses. I also run in the rain and the cold with no usual symptoms. I've returned to my normal running routine without feeling anything more than this sore throat.

English has no correct way to use a gender neutral pronoun in a single word.
IT!
1. (used to represent an inanimate thing understood, previously mentioned, about to be mentioned, or present in the immediate context): It has whitewall tires and red upholstery. You can't tell a book by its cover.
2. (used to represent a person or animal understood, previously mentioned, or about to be mentioned whose gender is unknown or disregarded): It was the largest ever caught off the Florida coast. Who was it? It was John. The horse had its saddle on.
no, because you're frequently wrong about basic human interaction and decency and refuse to admit it, ever
like now, when you are saying that calling someone it is not insulting, when, in fact, anyone but yourself could see that it quite clearly is, especially in the case that was given.
Even though oboro wasn't real or whatever, there was no question that she wanted to be known as a she
Wait wait wait
Not real
What
oboro resurfaced as Delicious Toad!, who somehow lives in greensboro after criss crossing the country and not having family in greensboro, and she began identifying as a he I believe, and was apparently cured of self destructive behavior and meth use.

You should also be wary for ideas which the Church held to be doctrine in the past but which they have since changed. Their religion has the same self-repair mechanism that Catholicism does: the head man is allowed to speak with the authority of god. Thus the fact that he can go back and rewrite doctrines which are unsavory to say the least is not evidence against the original writ.

Seriously if Oboro turns out to be the biggest troll the forum has ever known that will just be beautiful
Pony the correct form is "shit-eating motherfucker"

Given how Mormon marriage works the individuals involved are married forever. So if a man marries, his wife dies, and he remarries, in the "Mormon afterlife" he would have two wives. How this can mesh with the inability to have multiple wives confuses me.

I tend to believe whatever people tell me, online included
and then people starting pointing out some strange things and now I refer to the "oboro persona"
For all I know the oboro persona may indeed be in greensboro. I had a chance to meet this persona but backed out when the truth was revealed
Rap pioneer KRS-One has bigger plans for Hip-Hop as he's announced that he will soon release The Gospel of Hip Hop: The First Instrument, a 600-page book that examines the spirituality of the culture.
The Boogie Down Production’s “Teacha” said his new spiritual book will help form a new Hip-Hop religion on earth.

Bullshit. There were numerous stories posted about dressing up as a guy and asking everyone to refer to her as a dude.

Windows 7 would treat me much better. Wouldn't give me all the bullshit.
Of course.
But "it" is not grammatically incorrect.

Look it's the hip new thing the semantics dance
Fuck yourself
"Guys it's TECHNICALLY right" no shut the fuck up if it has to be "technically" anything then it isn't, for all intents and purposes
If I call you a shiteating motherfucker, this isn't grammatically incorrect either.
It's still rude.
I'm loading up G-Parted now.
I'm going to nuke all of my hard drives and reinstall Windows 7.
I'll buy a netbook and install Snow Leopard on that once the Dell Mini forums have it sorted.
Shiteating isn't a word.
Man what?
This shit is Swine Flu?
Holy fuck.

"Correct," you ignorant fuck.

Oh, no. I entirely agree that it has an insulting connotation.
My argument is that "it" is not grammatically incorrect.
For example, if I called Oboro a "fucker" that would also be insulting. BUT it would not be grammatically incorrect.

It is. The rules of grammer include and are rooted in ideas of politeness and formality.
If anyone can find a cuter picture than this one, I'll bake you cookies and mail them to you.

I’d just say it’s unfair to judge the software based on your attempts to do something it’s specifically not meant to do. :P

I really hope I can get them to watch this episode of South Park.
I mentioned it while talking on the street and he said that he'd heard of it but never saw it.
I'd start the first church of punk but uh
Yeahhhhh
