Having trouble in that area are you?


And it reverts back to animalistic machismo and alpha male status. HOORAY FOR PROGRESS!!!!

My guess is you are none too successful in that area either, but deep down you seem to be a pretty nice guy, so things might work out for you if you pay attention to her.

Thank you for your insightful comments on my masculinity person I have never met. The key is to be appreciative of the other's willingness to do that for you while going and doing thou likewise.

The OP must be effectively brainwashed. He argues like all the other Mormons.

hehe
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

For myself, I think that your avatar literally oozes masculinity. I can almost whiff the testosterone.

How about thou going and doing likewise in spite of the others' willingness to treat you likewise?

Does it have to depend on their willingness to treat you the way you want to be treated, or should you take the first step and treat them the way you want to be treated?

How do you want to be treated? With respect? With love?

Then treat others the same way, regardless of how they treat you.

No, I am fairly certain that most on this board are childish. There were no insults or insinuations in any of my initial posts, and I got back everything from a slam on my sexual activity to being called a "lower lifeform".

See ya folks. I got better things to do then try to dialog with children.

Ahem, please note items in quotation marks.

"Anti-Mormons like to dance and flail about, I know. It's now comical looking into it these days." Now that I am going to be a father, I have grown closer to the Church and feel it is a positive light in a very dark world. Teenage pregnancy is up, school shootings are more common than they used to be.... Children are declining in moral and social value (play on XBox Live and see how these kids talk), and now the family unit is under attack.... I am frightened of the world that I am bringing a child into (the pregnancy was a suprise for us, not planned)..... "Ultimately it looks like people need to HATE something, and for Anti-Mormons, they get that high by trying to bring down something others care about."

In your world, this constitutes "no insults or insinuations?" If one of us went to a board populated mostly be believers and started off with this kind of rehtoric, what response do you think they'd get?

As I said, other believers here have managed to stick with it and we've developed a kind of live and let live harmony.

If there's guilt here, your in it up to your eyeballs, as am I. I'm willing to try again with a commitment to tone it down. (Ignore Schmo, he insults everyone--love ya Schmo).

Change your tactice/rehtoric, and the result will be much different, I think.
