Doctor Disco is one of the disgusting fake doctors and fake professor who have pounced on Dan's blog and done their very best to make utter fools out of themselves and have succeeded in doing just that. Just glance at the more than silly names of those who up-voted your comment. And you might has noted that there is now even a fake "Gemli fan club," as well as a fake "Midge," that up-votes from that sewer.
Last night Stephen Smoot and I found ourselves comparing and contrasting you with the disgusting rubbish that has come from what is a cesspool for hate. Smoot looks in on Dan's blog from time to time, and we agree that you show no signs of hatred, and what you post is for you serious business. We do not see you as dishonest. We differ, of course, and do so vigorously, with a jab here and there. You are clearly cut out of a different clothe than those people.
Now I must also point out that I am at least as hostile to what I see often passing as religion as you are. Steve Smoot, like Professor Peterson, is aware that I am reading a 1,104 page book written by a very gifted scholar who described how Stalin created a huge lap of luxury living quarters for the Old Bolsheviks, when Russians were starving in their worker's paradise. And then had almost all of them murdered during the famous purge.Yuri Slezkine devotes the first third of this book to arguing that Communism was a secular religion that borrowed from every evil one can dredge up the the moment Constantine make Christianity the official cult of the Roman Empire. I think he goes a bit far, as do all of those many who have reviewed his book, but I also think he was essentially correct.
I have never even hinted that your own secular atheist religion involves any urge to harm others. However, I worry that the constant manifestation of hatred and violent language in that cesspool, potentially might trigger violent deeds.
(emphasis added.... And is he making a threat here? Or saying that he's afraid?)
And this is a pretty good one:

That stupid remark, which was celebrated by the then leaders of the Soviet Union, was eventually mocked by the growing number in the Soviet Union who were coming to believe in God, as a good example of the propaganda advanced by the League of Militant Atheists, which supplemented the closing of 44,500 churches and the slaughter of priests and those suspected of believing in God.
I have begun to wonder if the events that took place in 2012 did not actually generate a rebirth of the very thing that those behind the "new direction" sought to toss on what they wrongly imagined was the "trash heap of history." For one thing the "new direction" was a muddle, since it was driven by personal animosities and ambitions. Then it was always on the defensive. And it drew the unwanted and continual attention of the Brethren.
I came to believe that Fawn Brodie provided the necessary boot in the bum to draw attention especially to the Book of Mormon, which had previously been mostly ignored by both the Saints and the Brethren. Could Jerry Bradford's urge to constantly tinker with things and devise changes, once he had access to power, has ended up being the trigger for another flowering of what he came to dislike and tried to smother.
Could the raw and disgusting Mormon League of Fake Doctors and Professors, currently led by utterly disgusting Scratch and Shades, be playing a similar role?
Huh. Interesting.
