The Doctrine and Covenants (D&C) is made up of a number of revelations to Joseph Smith on how the LDS church should be organized and administered. So, in a sense it is the original Church Handbook of Instructions. Really it only makes sense for the Handbook to quote most extensively from the D&C, because the Handbook is not so much a doctrinal book as it is an organizational book, which is what much of the D&C is concerned with.
A quick glance through about the first half of the document seems to show the Bible being referenced slightly more often than the Book of Mormon.
I don't understand the difference between asking a Buddhist to meditate and find knowledge and asking a Christian to pray and find knowledge. Both groups assert that certain practices are required, and both assert that by following these practices you will receive enlightenment.
Joseph Smith also claimed that anyone could receive the same revelations he had.
They stole your girlfriend? As in kidnapped her? Or you just lost a competition with a church organization? I'm guessing your girlfriend was able to make her own decisions.
It's kind of funny how much some people are threatened by Mormons calling themselves Christian. If you define a Christian as someone who looks like you, then I think many Mormons wouldn't want to be considered a Christian. But your definition is unnecessarily narrow.
This begs the question "Who was the first god?"
Why does there have to be a first? And how would that be different than asking when God first got his start?
This is exactly what happened to me a week ago. When I pulled him back to the computer section and pulled up their real website he said, "OK, we'll match that price." What he should have said was, "We'll honor our own price."
They just pulled this crap on me a week ago. Their in-store kiosk was not labeled as in-store only. I told the worker the price I saw on the internet and he pulled me up to the kiosk and showed me "the internet price" that was $140 more; meaning he was deliberately misrepresenting the internal website as the the external site (or at least implying that they have the same prices). So I walked back to their computer section and pulled up the real internet site and pulled the guy back there to show him the price. He told me, "OK, we can match that price." Match the price??? You don't match your own price. You honor it.
So what you're saying is that Toyota hasn't investigated the implications of going 100% hybrids very well. Hmmm. "I'm glad your hear to tell us these things."

Most Mormon males who go on missions do so before graduating from college. The nominal age at which they begin is 19.

Many of the (older) printings of the Book of Mormon are in the public domain now. Feel free to grab one.

The book Doctrine and Covenants (D&C) is not the same as the Book of Mormon. Also, take a look at this picture and tell me the Mormons don't believe in the Bible: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Image:Latter-day_Saint_Scripture_Quadruple_Combination.jpg

Amen. That scene made me cry, it was so powerful.
No one alive today was able to meet Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, in person. He died in 1844, more than 160 years ago.
Knives. Or bazookas.
Just like the Lottery!
Well, Morpheus, it looks like it was us that struck first, after all.
Dropping PATA drives gives new meaning to the phrase "flying fsck", doesn't it.
The only rational reason not to get one is that you don't know how to drive a stick.
It seems perfectly rational to not get one if you don't want to drive a stick.
Warrantees are never worth it, unless you are very unlikely. Insurance is never worth it, unless you are very unlucky, as well. However...
The other problem you have is in communicating from one to the other that the force has been received at the other end. That involves relativity, too.
The bible has quite a few references to dragons. Everyone knows that 'dragon' is code for dinosaur. ;)
That's when you walk back to their computer section and pull up their real web site.

Apparently you have the mistaken impression that TDAmeritrade is the New York Stock Exchange.
Hybrid sales have increased year over year in every month since 2004, at least. http://www.greencarcongress.com/images/2007/05/03/ hybrid_sales_apr07_1.png
