Mentalgymnast - promoting the Moderate Mormon view.

[_grindael]

The SELF-PROCLAIMED WEASEL strikes again! The hypocrisy, the arrogance, the vapid, inane responses and of course the constant lies. No personal integrity at all, only a sycophant for the corporation who is so inept that he actually drags them down with himself. Keep up the good work, little weasel.

[_I have a question]

Yes, I answered/responded/replied to your question/enquiry. You might not like/agree/understand/comprehend my answer, but an answer you have had.

Would you be so kind as to simply cut and paste it in response to this post? Not that I don't believe you...but I'm struggling to see where you answered my question(s) in regards to which came first, the chicken or the egg. Of course, I worded it quite explicitly each of the times I asked you the question. Up to this point I've been allowing for the possibility that you're perceptually and/or chronically 'question challenged'. If that is indeed the case, I suppose I shouldn't expect an answer.

I realise comprehension isn’t your strong suite...

Personal attack, huh?

...and I’m trying to make the appropriate allowances.

Condescending.

I will try harder.

No need. If you actually answer the questions I asked you without going all waffly on me, I think I'll 'get it'.

When you demonstrate, consistently, the ability to interact with posters on this board with integrity and intellectual honesty, I'll reply in kind. Until you do, you're simply a troll who serves merely as a foil to show the lurkers the imbecilic nature of apologetics. At your next temple recommend interview you'll be asked if you are honest in your dealings with your fellow man. You aren't. Your answer should be no. Well, if you're being truthful to your God that is. I'll asses samples of your postings over time to see if you are capable of being a poster with whom it's worth interacting.

Of course, for the benefit of the audience you claim to have, I reserve the right to point out to them when you're talking out of your ass, but I'd request you don't reply to me until I've signed off on your probation.

Still not going to answer my questions, I see.

...I'll reply in kind.

You're usually pretty upfront. I don't understand what's up with not answering my questions. Especially where you have now evaded doing so three or four times, if I'm not mistaken.

Until you do, you're simply a troll who serves merely as a foil to show the lurkers the imbecilic nature of apologetics.

Repeat that enough times and you and your ilk will believe it.

At your next temple recommend interview you'll be asked if you are honest in your dealings with your fellow man.

Thanks for that heads up. Although, truth be told, it's only been a few months ago that I had the TR interview. I remember that question quite well. It's one that I take seriously.

You aren't [honest].

I am.

Your answer should be no.

I hope you understand how silly you're sounding right about now.

Well, if you're being truthful to your God that is.

Here's the thing, IHAQ. I believe that 'my' God is 'your' God too. And I wouldn't lie to my God or yours.

I'll asses samples of your postings over time to see if you are capable of being a poster with whom it's worth interacting.

Oh my. Aren't you the arrogant one? I didn't correct your "asses" misspelling. I thought it was appropriate to leave it as it is...considering who's mouth it's coming from.

Of course, for the benefit of the audience you claim to have...

They are your audience too, IHAQ. I don't lay claim to having any 'groupies'...although my bet is, that you do.

I reserve the right to point out to them when you're talking out of your ass...

Not sure if you're tongue in 'cheek' here. (Pun intended)

But I think you may be.

...but I'd request you don't reply to me until I've signed off on your probation.

I'll do whatever I dang well please.

What's a male board nanny called?

This has evolved into an unproductive use of time, wouldn't you say?

Just say you don't want to answer the questions rather than saying you did. Here they are again:

First iteration:

If you don't mind me asking, which went first...Christianity or the Mormon Flavor of Christianity? Did the shelf building in Christianity act as a catalyst in bringing down Mormonism...or vice versa? I would imagine/think that one of the two went down first.

Second iteration:

What I'm asking is what was the order in which the "obvious evidentiary conclusion [didn't] support what [you] wanted to believe in the first place." Which took the fall first? Christianity or the Mormon Flavor of Christianity? Did one impact/cause the fall of the other...or did they both take the fall off the shelf at the same time?

Then you said:

I’ve answered/responded/replied to your question/enquiry. You might not like/agree/understand/comprehend my answer, but an answer you have had.

I asked you to at least cut and paste your answer...since I apparently either missed it or didn't "comprehend" it, as you said.

Anyway, I'm willing to let you off the hook if you are hesitant about sharing your experience. I understand that it is difficult to do in a public setting. Vulnerability has its risks.

I ought to know, right?

The weasel is going to let IHAQ "off the hook"? (He wasn't on the hook, little weasel.)

I'm done with you in this thread, grindael.

Lying little weasel.

[_Doctor CamNC4Me]

If you do a search in this forum and bring up my posts over the long haul and squish them altogether...voila!...you have a pretty good example/indication of someone who is a Moderate Mormon.

MG,

What are the keywords we could use to search for specific posts that demonstrate an "example/indication" of your moderate Mormonism?

So the person always noting how disgusting the sex talk is here not only makes a joke about asses in mouths, he also makes a joke about someone sticking their tongue in HIS ass cheek !!!

You can't make this stuff up.

Click on 'mentalgymnast'. Click on 'search user's posts'. At that point you can click on one of any 354 links that are available. The more you read, the more you will see that I take, more or less, a moderate position in my postings. Yes, you will have to sift through some posts where I may take a solid position on one thing or another. But, on the whole, you will see...the more you read...and "squish" my postings together, that I am rather moderate in my views. I usually don't take a 'hard line' position one way or the other.

I think that is what may aggravate some of the dogmatic 'die hards' around here.

Happy searching!

Note: At times I have been known to take a hardline position when calling someone out. But I haven't done that as much recently. It's a fool's errand in a place like this to call a spade a spade. I've found that, for my part, it's not very productive...although on a base/animal level it's satisfying.

I suppose that's why some folks here feel free to 'let it roll'. Although I will say, except for some minor individual exceptions, there have been some improvements...as small as they might be...around here on that front.
