How do you know?
You're talking about a guy who lived in a Third-World country during the
dark ages.

It's quite possible he never existed.

 EH> Uh huh...

 EH>>> I have more evidence for Moroni than you do for dragons or

 RS>> Show me. Put up or shut up.

 EH> There is no put up or shut up rule here.

Why not?

 EH> Show me your evidence for dragons and sasquaches.

All I have is stories.

Just like you.

 RS>>>>>> Because all you have is "Take my word for it."

 EH>>>>> That shows how little you know or understand.

 RS>>>> You actually have more than just "Take my word for it" ?

 EH>>> Your ignorance is legion.

 RS>> Lame.

 EH> YEs, you are that as well.

 RS>>>> Show me. And no more stupid excuses.

 EH>>> It's not something I can show you. You have to find out for

 EH>   attitude you display.

 RS>> Lame excuse. Again.

 EH> That isn't an excuse.

 RS>> Now put up or shut up.

 EH> As I said, there is no put up or shut up rule here.

Just admit it, you've got jack shit to back up your wild claim.

 EH>>>>>>> Exactly. You aren't required to believe he did, either.

 RS>>>>>> So why did you convert from whatever faith you were, to LDS?

 EH>>>>> I didn't convert "from" any faith.

 RS>>>>>> You just liked the teachings?

 EH>>>>> You don't and will never understand.

 RS>>>> In other words, you converted so you could get laid.

 EH>>> Huh?

 EH>>> Where on earth did that come from?

 RS>> Wouldn't be the first time, or the last, someone started or
 EH>   joined a RS> faith so as to get converts into the sack.

 EH> Your complete ignorance is astounding. No true Christian church would
 EH> engage in such a thing.

People have started churches, or joined, so as to get laid.

There are also churches that started for just the opposite reason.
