I hope these cover all the bases.

Apologist-active defender of church

Mormon-member but just looking at the arguments/debates

Investigator-investigating Mormonism

Exmormon-exmember but just looking at arguments/debates

Critic-active critic of church

Not me, harmony ;)

Just cause we criticize doctrine and history and actions doesn't mean we can't be civil.
I would love to see those top choices fill up, even if this site is slanted to the critics side.

I agree. I enjoy reading Harmony's posts. I think they are very insightful.

Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool.
Religion is ignorance reduced to a system.

Mormon

Although, like Harmony, I have been accused of being a "countermopologist" by Juliann. LOL

I think that if the FAIRboards (sorry MAD boards) were to go unmoderated or at least less moderated, the goodness and civility of the average LDS person would more shine through. As it is, it's mostly just snarling, paranoia, and anger from a few people.

If these message boards were filled with the average people from all religions, odds are it would be alot of people just sitting around shooting the breeze. Too bad extremists have to ruin the world.

I voted "exmormon," though I still hold a calling and attend church off and on. But emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually, I am no longer a Mormon. In some ways, saying that makes me sad for some reason.

I originally had a poll that had "believing Mormon" , "nonbelieving Mormon" , "believing exmormon" (in case of anyone who's been excommunicated and still believes) and a host of other choices but their were like 10 or 12 choices so I simplified. Thanks for the reply.

Paging Mr. Bond, we need a special section to contain Polygamy.
