A conference my family sponsors will help make this clear. <br /><br />I think your readers may find this upcoming History conference of interest. It concerns early trans-Atlantic contact well before Columbus. The evidence this group of speakers will present is truly amazing. <br />http://www.AtlanticConference.org<br /><br />The conference takes place online, completely for FREE, on October 9, 10, and 11, 2009 at the website above. <br /><br />I hope you'll consider posting this or getting in touch with me to learn more at -<br />saintclair1398@gmail.com<br /><br />Thanks, <br /><br />Steve St. ClairHookedx12@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520111052572332849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-28689465305646297412009-08-17T13:28:02.866-06:002009-08-17T13:28:02.866-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-22467171481424724502009-08-16T21:41:44.560-06:002009-08-16T21:41:44.560-06:00Great...you've said what you wanted and we'...Great...you've said what you wanted and we're all THRILLED AND ELIGHTENED by it.

Locke asked that all religious claims (especially of self-styled prophets, visionaries, mystics) be assessed at the court of Reason. Madison says about the same (as do other FFs). Are you saying Locke's mistaken? It would seem so. <br /><br />Moreover, it seems AC allows investigation/criticism of other sects; so, ceteris paribus, discussion (not necessarily approving) of the formation of COLDS, and how that relates to the principles of the Framers should be allowable.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-74500105644649778272009-08-16T12:20:00.444-06:002009-08-16T12:20:00.444-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-68056193317816995472009-08-16T11:23:54.338-06:002009-08-16T11:23:54.338-06:00Ugh!

Or points out other mysteries (the fiery creatures who carried the plates!) And a mormon person then says that's incredibly destructive, irresponsible, tactless! The Miss Manners school of fundamentalism.<br /><br />Locke himself was aware of verificationism. He allows scripture (well, those parts that are in accord with Reason)--but does not approve of mystics, visionaries, so-called prophets (and the Framers followed Locke in that distrust of enthusiasm).Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-83521395102122297932009-08-16T08:32:56.807-06:002009-08-16T08:32:56.807-06:00I find demonizing and ridiculing of religion is di...I find demonizing and ridiculing of religion is distructive to the subject of this board ... after all this <i>the subject</i> is of <i>politics</i> <b>and</b> <i>religion</i> ... a bit of a <i>Molotov cocktail</i> ;-)<br /><br />We should all do our best to avoid igniting eachothers passions.bpabbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047791198702983998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-17863134942098947732009-08-16T00:05:01.184-06:002009-08-16T00:05:01.184-06:00Here's the problem, J.

It would seem someone who valued the principles of the Constitution, etc would want to know the truth, regardless if it was unpleasant or not helpful to the LDS institution. <br /><br />I do the same with any christian sect (including Catholics.Let's not forget the german bishops who blessed the nazi camps, etc.)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567400697675996283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-9700514895530650582009-08-15T13:48:08.635-06:002009-08-15T13:48:08.635-06:00Wow J!
