Re: Nelson's New Divide
In other news, the mad house is discussing what as good believing Mormons, they should change the board's name to, now that Mormon is verbotten.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

There is no debate to be had, Nelson has made it clear (by revelation, apparently)
The board name MUST be: "The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints Dialogue & Discussion Board"
They could abbreviate it, but whilst LSD.com might be participant-appropriate, it's probably already be taken...

For some, it will be even more difficult to abandon the term 'anti-Mormon, than it will be to stop using the word Mormon to self identify.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

But the beauty of Nelsons latest brain fart, is it removes the term anti-Mormon from the Church's lexicon. Apologists are basically screwed.
