That sounds that it'll suit you better. If you don't have any interest in really discussing openly with LDS folks, then I can see how you'd get frustrated here.My frustrations about MDB stem from indulging the deluded, as if they have a point worthy of consideration when it is obvious they do not (pun intended).
So you're all about condescension? I suppose that's cool. If you don't want to accept that people who have faith find reason to hold onto that faith, then surely you aren't going to openly discuss with Mormons, or any religionist. you've already decided on it all. there would be no reason to discuss.Mature conversations about Mormonism are couched in the context of the fascination presented through observing adults in particular believing baseless myths and notions, clinging to them despite logic, reason and facts. At least NOMs have the good sense to take what value that might find in the social construct undergirding Mormonism, and tossing those quaint, 18th Century notions that JSJr, BY and JT concocted.
Hey, its cool. You have decided for yourself. I see no reason why you should talk to ohter humans who you clearly have such a low view of. Let them rot if they won't be convinced by your arrogant hostility. I get it.Just keeping it real, in line with Tarski's policy.
Indeed, you have shown your "true colors" as they say. You have no interest in listening or conversing, really. You just want everyone to join you in your views, and if they don't they are bad people, to some weird extent.
Like Dr Scratch finds the mopologists to be interesting subjects to observe, sociologically speaking, as they wiggle and wriggle against reason, logic and facts, I find the TBM fascinating for the same reason. You, stem, are a particularly unusual specimen. Sort of a mutant tape worm of TBMs.
