Buffalo, what is your point here? is it somehow thoughtful for you to criticize LDS who love the church, suggesting that means they worship the church? This type of posting is perhaps some of the least thoughtful and productive...don't worry you really aren't the only one who plays these games. I simply don't get why anyone here is playing them--you STS, Sock Puppet, Joseph, Polygamy Porter, DJ, and others. i feel like calling someone out I guess, but this stuff is just silly, so what's the point?

Well, a common criticism of evangelicals is that they're guilty of Bibliolatry - Bible worship. I would suggest that Mormons are every bit as guilty of ecclesiolatry. Just an observation.

Do you have any proof for this outrageous allegation other than Mormons always saying they know the Church is true in their testimonies and very seldom with saying, "I believe in Jesus"?

Stemelbow:

Your elementary school level of thinking in your threads about "evidence," as well as the thread about your idiosyncratic definition of "the problem of evil" where you shared your puerile stream of consciousness attempting to make the simplistic pat answers of the LDS Church seem profound, permanently disqualify you from accusing anyone else of playing games.

As does your trollish hillbilly affectation trying to be sarcastic when you got here, which has been dropped now that you want to be taken seriously.

pep pep...I'm glad you responded after you saw your name in my post. I admit I saw your name as having replied here and was curious if it was the case that you just couldn't let this opportunity pass without comment, otherwise I probably wouldn't have seen your reply, having no other interest to revisit this thread. Indeed, it is true. You simply couldn't resist whining about me again. Thanks, DJ, your posts are an awful delight.

I haven't been on the board for a few days, so I was wondering if there was a thread were stemelbow wasn't either a troll or looking a lot like a fourth-grader fumbling around trying to make sense of the world.

If such a post exists in any thread on this board, I would appreciate someone providing a link for me.

I can't help but respond hoping your whining about me continues. its such a delight to read, after all. One thing I've noted is your softened tone in this particular post. You've gone to adamantly demanding that my every post was trollish to only some being trollish. Well shoot, I guess even the most gruff of us can lighten up from time to time. here's to hopin' this step to lighten up is only one step in the right direction for you.

Dear stemelbow,

From this point forward, please capitalize the first word of every sentence.

Thanks in advance.

You are indeed correct, stemelbow. I have been impressed with the variety of your two kinds of posts. Thank you for adding juvenile attempts at rationalizing that have the intellectual depth of a piece of paper to your repertoire of blatant trolling.

You are fading back into that fake hillbilly thing, so I take it that you intend to be trolling now.

If you go back to a muddled, incoherent stream of consciousness that is devoid of any reference to anything outside the echo chamber of your own head, then I will know that you want to be taken seriously again.

eventually you will get used to the ball gag,
