I grant you your opinion on the CFR and those who belong to it, however I
won't let you get by with equating a belief in the gospel with your
belief in a secret combination. There is evidence for believing the
gospel, such as the Holy Ghost. There is no solid evidence on any level
for the CFR charges.

I never intended you to suppose I was using the gospel to buttress my claim that the CFR is a pack of Gadianton Robbers. The only reason I mentioned the gospel was to point out that not all that is true can be proven to be true. I realize that my belief that there is a secret combination hidden within the CFR is something that I cannot prove to a skeptic. The concrete evidence isn't there. The evidence is circumstantial. But I also realize, and I wanted you to realize, that an inablility to prove something does not disprove it.

Your statement is akin to saying that although I can't prove evolution to
be true, it just must be because I personally just feel that the GAs
agree with me. Empty statements with key points we agree upon does not
equate to evidence. In the future, just state your opinion without
dragging the gospel into it. Okay?

Had you understood my post in the spirit with which it was written you would not be upset with me. Nevertheless, I apologize. Please forgive me. I was my responsibility to communicate my meaning more effectively. Apparently I failed in this instance.
