midgley the Mormon opines on gemli's catholic upbringing

[Lem]

Midgley has rewritten gemli's history so many times his words now literally bear no relation to the actual gemli. This below, however, has really crossed the line. It is ridiculously funny how much effort the Midge puts into creating his monster:

gemli has frequently claimed that he was, as he now puts it, "raised as a Catholic," and hence what he is talking about, when he opines about what he calls "the boundless claims that were not based on evidence." However, gemli has also explained that his parents were merely nominal Roman Catholics. Did his parents ever pray, or teach or urge him to pray? Did they even own a Bible? His parents merely sent him to a school that was run by a teaching order of Nuns. The reason was likely that his parents thought that this was then the best school available where they lived. And for the first time gemli encountered a tiny bit of the world of Roman Catholics from some Nuns who could easily been spreading vulgar Catholic superstition quite unlike the very sophisticated education that Catholics have often provided.

It is now more than five decades later, and it it likely that gemli cannot now recall a single thing he was taught back then, including even the names of those who taught him. And it is also clear that he has read exactly nothing on the faith of Roman Catholics, or by any Roman Catholic scholars.

Just for a note of reality, gemli has several degrees including a Master's, and has discussed frequently his thoroughly normal roman catholic upbringing. Midgley's bizarre exaggerations as well as straight up imaginations are a work of perverse art.

Alas, in your cocksureness about what the rest of us do and do not know, and in the world you seem to inhabit, in which only truths that you, yourself, personally and empirically, can verify seem relevant...

So, a contest. Who wrote this, and who is this post referring to?

gemli: "Gemli was educated by Catholic nuns in eight years of grammar school and took history courses in high school and college."

And they presumably didn't spend a whole lot of time on near-death experiences, let alone on the witnesses of the Book of Mormon.

The most obvious statement ever.

Those guys can hardly comment on a new blog post without mentioning gemli. It's just kind of sad.

Midgley needs an enemy, and Peterson hides behind his henchmen.

...and what I heard from Elder Oaks, which was directed right at the current situation in the United States, wants all Latter-day Saints to cease being at all concerned about the lack of civility and violence recently in the United States.

Cease being concerned? Why?

It is perversely weird. Just freaky. Gemli obviously has smacked them where it hurts the most, and they are like bees, they will not, cannot let it go. Their bizarre brashness and judgmental ding-a-lingness is fascinating to watch!

After all of that, and after hundreds of posts recently where Gemli refutes NDEs, the proprietor has put up another post really stretching things to score a point for religion via math, and Midgley is immediately demanding Gemli to appear. Gemli has "gone missing" etc. C'mon guys, give your teacher a break. He's got to take a breather from your nonsense once in a while.

It's interesting how Midgley uses the same pushy and rude tactics as his master, Russ M., against Gemli. If Gemli really had been educated by Catholics, then he'd be Catholic, just like that couple would be Mormon had they really read the Book of Mormon. Amazing how easily they throw their own doctrine of free agency under the bus. It just isn't possible for anybody to disagree with them.

It comes as absolutely zero surprise to me that Midgley is contemptuous towards the Catholic faith. Nor does it surprise me that Dr. Peterson is allowing this kind of commentary to stand.

After all, they secretly do believe with Bruce McConkie that Catholicism is "The Whore of the Earth" and "Church of the Devil" as the Book of Mormon teaches. Sure, they'll deny it publicly, but they do believe it. It's the most literal interpretation of the Book of Mormon words, and therefore they personally believe it, you can count on that. No other religion is ever respected by Mormons. They all are apostate and wrong. Only Mormonism is the truth. Sure they love to play word games with their own "Anti-Religion of all other faiths" but they really do believe they alone are right, and all other religions are lesser than. You can tell the way they talk. There is only one reason for ever speaking respectfully of someone else's religion, their secret desire to save them from their apostasy, and convert them to Mormonism so at last they can bask in truth, like only Mormons do. They love to pay lip service to respecting other religions, but behind the scenes and on their blogs they let the cat out of the bag again and again. And the amusing thing is to watch them imagine they are so smart they have fooled all the rest of the entire whole world! It's hilarious. They have deceived their own selves.
