  Jacob whole "debate" method is: state something vague and feelings based, when you counter it, he then switches to hard line "historical facts."

  Jacob can never answer a question with a simple yes or no. He has to give a word salad every single time he’s asked a question. He is the master of obfuscation

  The denial of every obvious negative human urge of Smith is wild.

  Mormons using the “lying to the nazis when you’re hiding Jews” analogy when defending JS lying about his polygamy is equal parts gross and telling

  Poor Joseph Smith, “the reluctant polygamist”😂😂😂. He had to do it because God made him do it. What an absolute crock of blasphemous (expletive)!

  Yet ANOTHER debate in which Jacob cannot answer questions directly. Good grief he’s horrible.

  Defending the position that Joseph was reluctantly practicing polygamy, and didn’t wanna do it.  Is definitely defending the less likely scenario.  Defending what makes less sense.

  36 min:<br>J: &quot;Why would Joseph excommunicate John C. Bennett?&quot;<br>E: &quot;There&apos;s a million possible reasons. For example, any personal conflict between him and John c. Bennett.&quot;<br>J: &quot;Is there any evidence that there was?<br>E: WHAT? YES!... You believe John C. Bennett invented a whole bunch of lies and slander...<br>J: 100%! No doubt!... and even Joseph&apos;s enemies at the time were like &quot;this guy is making stuff up&quot;.<br>E: Right. So don&apos;t you think it&apos;s possible that a guy like that might have conflict with...<br>J: Yeah and it&apos;s possible there are unicorns on the back side of the moon.<br><br>Some wild clips from this one.

  Ridiculous. This is crazy. Let’s justify lying to look good. Man, how far are we willing to go??? Why justify horrible behavior? Just call it what it is.
