@BlueShackComics @KenzieMarieInWA No chance of life (or DP) because he was a minor when the crime was committed.

I’ve seen elsewhere that max in this case is 40 with chance of parole after 20.

@stretchyWombat 1) Mormons aren’t Christians.

2) The last few days have been shocking in showing how much deception Mormons conceal behind that nice squeaky-clean facade.

[This Train Has No Brakes @atarimoe]

@natemaklocklin Mormons still aren’t Christian.

Marxists still aren’t Christian either.

@BreannaMorello They should be happy.

Melo is far safer in jail than he would be if he’s acquitted.

@Raelthy She sounds utterly insufferable.

@DLCampanile @ThoughtfulSaint @KennyBurchard It means that Smith made a claim of meaning of the text before the studies on hieroglyphic translation came to the English-speaking world allowing him to be proven wrong, and this failure could not be easily fixed because Smith had the grave inconvenience of already being dead.

[This Train Has No Brakes @atarimoe]

@DLCampanile @ThoughtfulSaint @KennyBurchard The article itself concedes that it’s not truly a translation… just another example of Smith staring into his hat and saying “This is what it says, trust me bro.”

Saying that this somehow means “there are multiple ways to translate Egyptian” is a bald-faced lie.

@CM147143 @batouposting Blocking both of you for being humorless scolds.

[This Train Has No Brakes @atarimoe]

@DLCampanile @ThoughtfulSaint @KennyBurchard > Debating for the sake of the audience

Get over it.

> accused… not convicted

Best con in the world is creating a religion based on “secret knowledge”

> multiple ways to translate ancient Egyptian

Going to need a source, esp since we know the MSS is the Book of the Dead.

@JenOliverQC @GryphiusEitel By asserting novel “facts” about Jesus and then insisting they are true, contrary to the Bible and the understanding of the Early Church.

Mohammad literally did the same thing 14 centuries before JS did it.

@RadioactiveIM3 @PreacH0921 @the_kjb This is a “no true Scotsman” fallacy.

If you came away concluding it’s false, then you must not have had an open enough mind… or you didn’t pray earnestly enough…

@DLCampanile @ThoughtfulSaint @KennyBurchard You seem to confuse me with someone who is debating merits of the events.

The problem with BoM is Joseph Smith being a known con man doing con man things, and in at least one text of Mormonism (Book of Abraham) the utter fraudulence of the translation is publicly known.

[This Train Has No Brakes @atarimoe]

@batouposting @Monocarp_ This was said in light of the recent discussions about LDS.

If the government is supposed to not make any judgments about the merits of a particular religious group, then taking them at their word means they intend violence (whether or not their rites have any merit).

@AshFarms Neither side wants to see him go to jail.

Jail is just the compromise position.

[This Train Has No Brakes @atarimoe]

@DLCampanile @ThoughtfulSaint @KennyBurchard > pointing out that our beliefs are no stranger than the stuff that's already in the Bible

That doesn't make the BoM authentic or the contents of it true!

@JoshuaLisec A is doomed.

[This Train Has No Brakes @atarimoe]

@jonnym____ @TruthFramed Plenty of details there about the folks they disagree with... just no self-reflection.

Orthobros being delusional again.

[This Train Has No Brakes @atarimoe]

@baine53 @Kherstyy Unless you can read and have a minimal understanding of context.

[This Train Has No Brakes @atarimoe]

@TruthFramed It’s missing details in a manner that I would call dishonest.

It’s also neglecting the current schism between MP and EP.
