Counter Apologetics

Hey Anteaters! So I've been thinking about it and I really should have a page listing all the counter-apologetics I've done, with links and titles and other helpful things. So here's a quick link location for anyone wanting to share my analyses with others :)

Messin' with Mormons
This is a series of live-chats with LDS missionaries, complete with snarky italicized commentary from me.

Chat 1 How do you know that's really revelation and not just thoughts in your head?
Chat 2 How do you know your god is the right one?
Chat 3 Why can't girls be prophets?
Chat 4 What do you mean by "restored church?"
Chat 5 Why did God make the devil?
Chat 6 What happened to the big miracles?
Chat 7 Marriage and family life in the LDS Church
Chat 8 Can you really *choose* what you believe?
Chat 9 I know it's true because god told me in my head.
Chat 10 All the good stuff is God's doing.
