 RS>> Don't forget an even larger number of "The Faithful" kept this
 EH>   big secret RS> among themselves, and carried out a suicide pact on
 EH>   9-11.

 EH> Huh? What does that have to do with the discussion?

Because the 9-11 plotters planned the attacks, mostly from a religious
standpoint, a devotion to Bin Laden, and to their twisted view of what
constitutes being faithful.
That included slaughtering "the other."
"The other" being anyone not of their particular faith.

If just one, just one of them had changed their mind at the last moment
and gone to the FBI? The whole plot would have unraveled.
Unfortunately, their devotion was too strong.

Likewise, a smaller number of "the faithful" agreed to a certain story,
which they wrote down and preached to the masses, in the Mormon church.

The biggest difference between the 9-11 plotters and these founders of
your church, is in their intentions.

The founders of the LDS church did not have in mind mass destruction and
death.

 RS>> Prostitution may be the "oldest profession," but the oldest con
 EH>   job was RS> religion.

 EH> In your opinion.

 RS>> And it still is a big con job, that depends on the suckers like
 EH>   yourself.

 EH> What am I being suckered out of?

For one thing, money.
How much have you given your church? What have you received in return?

 RS>> If your deity and his (her?) messengers are so damn powerful,
 EH>   why won't RS> they appear in person to me?

 EH> Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

 RS>> Obvious answer, using Ockham's Razor: There is nothing to it
 EH>   except blind RS> hysterical belief.

 EH> On your part maybe.

I'm not the one who believes in an angel named Moroni.

 RS>> Unless you actually have anything to show any of us...

 EH> Who's this "us" you speak of? And why should I show you anything?

Us is anyone who doesn't subcribe to blind belief.

And this "Why should I show you anything" shows me you have...nothing.
