I don't know why you argue with people who will never be convinced and who are just combative a$$es.
While my behaviour was not the best, I have not called anyone names and I have done my level best to keep to the facts and make it impersonal.

What did you just do?

You are absolutely correct. If all I get is closed responces, "Because it says so and I believe it" answers and then see that when all else fails I'll be called names cause "I haven't witnessed the granduer of the Book of Mormon, you would be correct.

Actually it is quite telling. When all else fails, scream and call names. What next, an attack on the Bible? I'll help you with that too.

you have to forgive him: it's difficult if you are brought up in the church. Most active Mormon males are powder kegs. From birth until twenty one and then on your life is basically planned for you because your parents decided to baptize you a Mormon. It's very hard to break away. Once you get information about Joseph Smith and his wives and the fact that Mormons have been violent in the past, and that they now withhold information it takes time, if ever to get over the pain.

I'd sure the heck keep the story straight.


And how is the story of Lehi in the desert not "straight?"


That's a source issue. It comes from someone who can't keep their story straight.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

What if I have a "higher witness" that I am to strap on bombs and blow up a building? I find it quite arrogant and naïve for Mormons to claim that their "witness" is "righter" than others.

And believe me, as a former LDS bishop, etc., I understand and got the exact same "witness" that you did....

Don't confuse me with Charity. I'm not what you would consider a devout Mormon, though I love the culture, the people, and I support it. I'm not good at arguing, either. I'd just assume meet you in person and beat your ass. Then I would look at you and say, "I win."

I haven't seen Charity call you names, either, so don't blame her for my lack of patience with your jerk-off behavior.

I'm not the most "charitable" person. Sorry.

So you have a higher calling and you're not devout?

Why do I think you are not being truthful?

No arguement from me there.

If you say so.

I'll worry about that when I have nothing better to do.

Hmm, interesting. Very brave behind a keyboard I see.

Putting aside my idea that you can't, what did I do that makes you'd want to do that to me? Challenge your preconceived notions? Make you question things that should be taking by blind, unswerving faith? I'm interested in reading what I said that got you so tough sounding.

As for confusing you with charity, I never did.

I live in Powder Springs GA. Any time, any where, my friend. You'll find I'm tough behind a keyboard and in your face.

I'll take that as a compliment, I suppose, though I'm sure you didn't mean it that way.

And none too bright I see. A tough guy who when he can't get his way reverts to threats and bullying. Fantastic.

Great as for calling out Charity on her lies, I'll be continuing to do that. If you push BS and say it's true, I'll cal you on it as well.

As for you living in Powder Springs GA, (something I will not take for a fact) good for you.

If you're a danite, you're no better than the Taliban. They kill and hurt for their God too. Should I congradulate you on your kinship with them?
