but I suspect your irritable mood may have interfered with you noticing...

Seriously, where do you come up with stuff like this? I wasn't in a bad mood when I wrote my previous post. Your newfangled computer that can read people's moods and emotions through the internet must need recalibration.

Feel free to press me a bit hard. But know that I admit now that I will never prove my faith as correct, and if you want to take the time to be a bit demeaning (you mean that's the only reason you believe in your church???), you are missing the intended spirit of the conversation.

Someone asked about the gold plates and the seer stone, you mentioned the eleven witnesses, and I was surprised that was considered "strong evidence" for the existence of the gold plates. Yes, I was legitimately asking if that was really the best evidence for their existence, but from the sounds of things I way overstepped the boundaries of the sort of inquiry your are comfortable with.
