Stemelbow, I don't think anyone hates you.

You have had your butt handed to you a few times trying to defend Mormonism, but that is to be expected. The very same thing happened to me. I finally realized that many of the things I was trying to defend are indefensible.

If you take all this personally, you won't last long defending the Church. You could retreat to safer confines, but why do that if you really believe the Church can withstand any criticism (that is what I believed when I first started).

Don't worry, FC, I have thick skin. It doesn't bother me. I set up thread up in hopes to give a place for those who have to whimper about me in the threads in which something somewhat substantive is talking about.

I'm curious about your take on having my butt handed to me. I haven't really done much apologetics here, since so much of my time has been spent attempting to get people to even address my points/ideas, or defining simple concepts such as evidence. Who's handed my butt to me and when in your estimation? Let me peak into the mind of FC, for a sec.

I don't hate anybody here, not even the guy who's been stalking me for a couple of years.

I'm not a fan of bad apologetics, but that's just me.

Wait, did you mean to imply you've added substance to substantive threads? Link plz.

Here's a thread set up for any takers, since there have been so many in the other threads discussing other matters, who wish to complain solely about me.

Perhaps you will read this one, then.

You are making it excruciating to be a Mormon.

Because it's so self-involved and self-important? Because it's such a nice little parody of DCP (although on a junior high level)?
