DAVEH: I find your attitude interesting, Izzy. If I don't do
as you want, then you consider me a waste of time. I suppose I could
say the same thing to you, but I find your comments (such as the one below)
to be very interesting indeed. BTW......I purchased a copy of Larson's
book last night at Deseret Industries. Now before you get all excited,
I'm not going to read it just to make you happy. But one of these
days (hopefully soon), I'm going to peruse it to my satisfaction.
But it is going to be hard to discuss it with you, since you consider my
arguments to be "
pointless, circular, endless, fruitless, and
blockheaded". :-)

BLAINER,
YOU HAVE PROVED MY POINT: THERE IS NO POINT IN TRYING TO TALK TO MORMONS.
YOU JUST GO AROUND IN POINTLESS, STUPID CIRCLES. I QUIT. IZZY
DAVEH: "BLAINER"?........Or
were you referring to me, Izzy?

LDS theology is right or wrong......many of those who practice it do it

don’t doubt the sincerity of your LDS beliefs. I doubt the sincerity of
your search for Truth
DAVEH:
Therein lies your problem, Izzy. Despite me explaining my reasons
for being here numerous times, I just don't understand why you don't believe
me when I explain my motives. Just what have I said that makes you
think that I am on TT to "search
for Truth"???
Is there anybody on TT that has heard me say such?
—especially
when David M tells you he has proof of the fallacy of some of your scriptures
and you refuse to read it. THAT proves you don’t want to know the truth
if it conflicts with your current beliefs.
DAVEH:
Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn. I grow weary explaining my motives. And when
I do, you don't believe me. Izzy, I've got to ask you....Why do you
think that I am on TT to "search
for Truth"???
Let
me ask you why you are on TT, Izzy? Are you seeking truth and knowledge? I
need a good laugh now and then!
DAVEH:
Hmmmmm.......So, if I am to believe you, then you aren't here to "search
for Truth"!?!?!?!?!
I really didn't think so either.
If
so, I would expect you to eagerly read the BofM You
have pretty presumptuous expectations. (as
I believe DavidM has done, if I remember correctly) to find out if it is
true or not.I
already know it isn’t true. You have offered me NO incentive to read it
anyway.
DAVEH:
I see. Without incentive, you have no desire to "search
for Truth",
eh. Well now, what do you think would be my incentive to read Larson's
book?
Now.......I suppose some may think I'm preaching Mormonism here, or you
might think I am manipulating you. But.....I'm just trying to point
out the hypocrisy of your demands. I
didn’t demand anything. I simply offered to read your B.of M. if you want
me to in exchange for you reading the Larson book first.
DAVEH:
I see you haven't learned what motivates (or perhaps "de-motivates") me.
Conditions don't compell me to do anything, except stand off.
Even
if you read the BofM (which I doubt you will due to your disdain for it),
I don't think you will accept it. You expect me to do as DavidM desires,
when you don't want to do what I request. Do you understand what
I'm saying, Izzy?Yes;
I understand that you are trying to manipulate me into reading your bm
book without you having to read the Larson book. Duh. I can figure that
one out!
DAVEH:
LOL.....Izzy, I don't want to offend you, but I wasn't trying to get you
to read the BofM. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of your attempt
to get me to read Larson's book.
But
I will make you a deal.
DAVEH:
Ponder what I said above.
You
read the Larson book FIRST and discuss it with David M, and then I will
read your BofM. I already have a copy, thanks. (I haven’t read any sci-fi
in a long time.)
