I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between the silly stuff about mormons like magical underwear and angels appearing in New York and NON silly stuff about christians like jars of oil that never run out and rivers turning into blood. Thanks!

Good question. That leads one to the obvious logical conclusion: Either it's all true (ie the Mormons are right and all the other religions are wrong since they only believe in parts of it, not all), or it's all false (ie the atheists are right). Either way the other religious folks are in a tough spot... :-)

Snakes do no longer communicate. Occam's Razor states that between competing hypotheses, the single which makes the fewest assumptions could be chosen. A. The serpent. Gen 3:a million-. B. the female. Gen 3:-a million. C. Her seed. Gen 3:15 X. The serpent. Rev 12:9 Y. the female. Rev 12:13. Z. Her seed. Rev 12:17. Logically, a Correlation isn't a Causality or an Equality. in spite of the undeniable fact that, maintaining in the barriers of Occam's Razor, there is not any different character in the area of Scripture that the serpent interior the backyard ought to probably be with out believing in talking snakes. And the Correlation does look uncanny. This became devil. Donkeys do no longer communicate, yet "the LORD opened the mouth of THE donkey" Numbers 22:28 it would be an "a dicto simpliciter" to anticipate that donkeys (plural) communicate.

Because the Mormons say that the bible and the book of the Mormon are the same and compatible and are a mirror to one another. The problem with the gold plate concept is that Joseph Smith said he found the plates in New York and a angel revealed it to him. And that this angel gave him a different gospel other than the one will already have. This is a direct contradiction to the bible. The apostle Paul said, "...that if I or an angel come and preach another gospel different from the one you have received, let him be eternally damned". If the Mormon gospel was of God, then it should have been substantiated with the bible itself and not seperate some thousands of years later. I have read the book of Mormon and studied the bible with some. And there are a lot of scriptures in the book of Mormon which are in contradiction.

Actually, the jars of oil that never run out are Jewish- the story of Hanukkah. The river turning into blood is moses- its the old testament. The reasons the 'silly' Mormon stuff is silly is because the entire story. Its founded on the fact that some dude, in AMERICA (which is not even close to the holy land) was told something, his story changed twice. Unburry a 1500 year old scroll of the bible in NYC and we can talk.

Any evidence for talking donkeys and snakes has long since turned to dust. In my lifetime, we've SEEN a couple of lakes that turned to blood. Since when do golden tablets mysteriously vanish before they can be seen by anyone else? If Moses was the only one to ever see the stone tablets with the 10 commandments, I'd wonder about THEM, too.
Is mormon underwear supposed to be magical? I thought it was just designed to set them apart. That kind of talk only blows YOUR credibility.

Think about it... Everything in the Bible, relating to Jesus, was humble. Even the Ten Commandments were written on stone... It was Baal that was made of Gold - The golden calf idol. When I think of religious artifacts (at least from Jesus' time), I think of humble items... Nothing flamboyant.

Well, you are working on the presumption that the Christian tales aren't believed to be silly as well. No offense, but I found both tenets utterly off-the-wall and ridiculous. No one more than any other.

Rotfl
Ppl getting their own planet to rule after they die is just as silly as expecting to go to heaven/hell after death.
I don't see a difference they're both completely absurd.

You want to know what's silly? There is a Mormon running for president and there are going to be people that actually vote for him.
