Let me put it this way... anyone who know about math can simply understand what I'm putting here... Seven you don't have to read the following it is a waste of your time and effort.
J1 = Possibility of Joseph Smith telling truth.
N (J1) = Possibility of Joseph Smith not telling truth.
J2 = Possibility of Joseph Smith2 (that's another Joseph) telling truth.
M = Possibility of Mohammed telling truth.
X = Possibility of all so called prophets is lying (if we can prove X = True then atheist are right).
Y = Possibility of at least one of the so called prophet is telling truth (if we can prove Y = True then theist are right).
We have the following facts:
1) (J1 OR N (J1) = True) (Joseph Smith may be or may be not telling truth).
2) (J1 AND N (J2) = False) (Jospeh Smith can't be telling truth and lying at the same time).
3) X = N (Y) (Obviously).
4) X = N (J1) AND N (M) AND ...... N (J#) (X is the possibility of everyone is lying).
5) J1 OR J2 OR M OR ..... OR J# OR X = True (Someone is telling truth or everybody is lying).
Now
If (J1 = True)
=>
Using (1) we can prove (N (J1) = False)
Using (1) we can prove (M = False)
Using (3) we can prove (X = False)
Using (3) we can prove (Y = True)
(WE CAN PROVE SOMETHING WE DON'T ALREADY KNOW).
If (J2 = False)
=>
Using (1) we can prove N(J1) = True.
M = Unknown.
J2= Unknown.
X = Unknown.
Y= Unknown.
So if we know that Joseph Smith is lying we can take one result from that HE IS NOT TELLING TRUTH, NOTHING MORE.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Result:
Unless we can prove Joseph Smith IS telling truth we can't conclude anything... Joseph Smith lying give us ZERO information about all other prophets and has ABSOLUTELY no logical relation with Mohammed telling truth or any other prophet whatsoever.
Are you telling me that you misunderstood me from the getgo? I wasn't trying to prove that the prophet lied. There IS however a logical relation. This is the question:
Can people lie about religion? Can they say they are a prophet, when they are not?
The answer is yes. And why is it yes? Because:
- Joseph Smith said he was the real deal.
- Joseph Smith must have lied, because he's not Muhammad (I took the liberty to answer my question for you. I assume you think J. Smith wasn't telling the truth, otherwise you wouldn't be muslim).
- Joseph Smith is a man.
Thus my point is proven: men can lie about religion. You can't just go around and change the very thing I am trying to prove. If I'm in the middle of proving to you who did what in the OJ Simpson case, you can't tell the judge that there's no fucking way I can know who killed JFK. You can't change the starting point. Is it that hard, you imbecile?
