You still don't get my point and probably on purpose. You started this thread as a way to make claims at how you are better for somehow making covenants with an invisible being. You started it to toot your own horn, to call us sinners to repentance. You deliberately tell us that you can't or didn't comment on this thread because you were going to the temple and doing service projects (and forgot to tell us how you were then going to the hospital to give blessings). You said these things to pat yourself on the back. You're such a good Mormon.MG 2.0 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 6:06 pmThe thing is, Exile, is you are just as free to preach your version of intolerance and disdain for the leaders and doctrines of the LDS Church as I am to come here to support the leaders and doctrines of the LDS Church. Also, I’m not at all convinced that there are not those who don’t participate actively on the board that cannot benefit from the points of view expressed by BOTH of us.Dr Exiled wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2023 5:43 pm
Of course you have every right to say whatever you want here. That's not my point. You come here preaching, acting like the unbelievers here need a refresher course on making covenants with a made up being, and are surprised when people push back on that. The comment about Marcus being willing to learn from you was just more of the same misguided condescension. You are no better than anyone merely because of your religious beliefs or because you go to the temple to make your loyalty oaths. Why not come down off of the false mountain you believe you're on and join us mere mortals?
To think that the minority view doesn’t have as much reason to be expressed as the majority view is undemocratic.
So you share what is your dislike and I will share my ‘like’. And we can both give reasons for our own points of view. Of COURSE we will BOTH think that the other is unreasonable and preachy.
I can deal with that. Can you?

Perhaps climb down off the phony mountain and converse as any human being would do. You might be surprised at how people treat you when the condescension disappears.
