What is wrong with Mormonism?

[Bibliofagus]

Yadayadayada. Eve can believe anything that in her view cannot be disproven. A book that claims that horses were common in the US before Europeans landed there? Could very well be true. There still a chance we never found any of their bones right?

With these standards Eve can believe anything. Including Harry Potter. It may be Platform number 9,5 (or whatever) has just not been discovered until now.
Yet she chose to believe in the retarded nephew of the retarded nephew of judaism. Which was retarded to begin with.

Also props to Stromboli.

Sure. I can believe anything I want. But Stromboli tried to prove something and he can not prove or disprove anything about Smith or BoM. This is my point.

In this case Stromboli has obviously got better standards of evidence than you.
Do you get scammed often? Or do you reserve your apparent standards of evidence for mormonism?

No one can disprove anything. There can only be more and more evidence that leaves less and less room for something to be true. There is increasing evidence that makes the idea of all mythology sound ridiculous because there is such little room for it being true on any instance.

Question for you, Eve: Do you believe the story of Pandora's Box / Pandora's Jar?

I don't

Do you believe in the story of adam and eve?

You're missing the point.  If you can't come up with a standard of evidence that disproves Koresh and Jones as prophets of god, what does that tell you about the standard of evidence you apply to Smith?

I don't apply anything. I am not trying to prove anything. I only respond to Stromboli that his post is waste of time.

So you don't apply anything, presumably you accept the status of Smith as a prophet of God as a matter of faith?  I'm not trying to set up anything here, just trying to understand.

I had a revelation that Smith is a Prophet of God. I trust(have faith) that God told me the truth.

Do I have a right to say "yes, I do believe."?

You live in America. You have the right to say whatever you want.

Very well, I for one appreciate your honesty.  

I treat all revelations from God with equally validity.  It's the only way to be fair to all people.

This is because God is a practical joker who loves to reveal truths to some people that are incompatible with the truth he reveals to other people.  God's even managed to start quite a few wars that way.  Will his hilarious hijinks ever cease?

Eve do you believe Satan is the brother of Jesus ? Jesus have many wives and many children?

[stromboli]

OK, consider this. The test of a true prophet is Deut. 18:22

When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

How many prophecies have failed?

There have been many failed prophecies in the history of the church. These are just Joseph Smith's.

He fails the Biblical test of a true prophet. He failed as a leader, he was a liar and a thief. Go ahead, Eve, believe in total BS, because virtually everything about the LDS church is.
