TBMs are telling me Joseph Smith never actually practiced polygamy. This causes me to think and talk about Mormonism. Sorry.

I only say positive things about the church. In reality it is not true, and saying why is as positive as it gets. I don't hate any member or leaders past or present, even if I do recognize and bring up bad behavior. I think the current leaders are generally good people who probably sincerely believe, I did for most of my life. I think Joseph was good in many ways, but obviously not good in other ways.

I have a challenge for Mr. Skains - edited by harmony. Violation of Rule #1. Don't do this again.

I think you misunderstood when I called him a big dick.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Was just trying to think of an endeavor that would be equally futile.

I understand, and I have no doubt he'll keep trying anyway.

Just another reminder that most of the participants are either punk teenagers or partially retarded adults.

Please do not use that term. As a parent of a mildly mentally disabled boy, I am deeply offended by that particular smear.

You are not behaving well. Be nice.

No you're not offended. You're just trying to stir crap up.

P.S. - Retarded means limited. It's a valid term. Like Fire Retardant.
