You deliver sweeping judgments from time to time, but you don't know anything. (I suppose, of course, that knowing nothing makes judging easier. Less clutter.)
Is that the best comeback you can muster? Good grief.
And you don't what I know. For all you know, I'm your next door neighbor.
I just have to say I love DCP's avatar here. Wonderful pic. Better than a Christmas present. I feel like I'm being graciously offered a cyber Krispy Kreme every time I see it.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

Krispy Kreme = deep fried cotton candy, with a bit of flour for substance. They make my teeth hurt. I may buy them (when the neighborhood kids are having a fundraiser), but I don't eat them.
1) I can't help but reflect back on the OP. It seems that the tongue-in-cheek title has been chillingly accurate in terms of describing Ray A's overall pathology. He really does seem to think he's some kind of "holier than thou" "Gandhi" figure, who is going to "cure" all the ex-mos and critics. Of course, he freely compromises his morals and ethics in this goal, so, whattya know?
2) I have gotten DCP to engage in debate a few times. The reason he doesn't do it is that it is relatively easy to kick his butt. The three times I have in mind are:
---On FAIR, over the issue of whether or not women need a husband's "permission" to enter the CK, as taught/implied by LDS doctrine
---Again on FAIR, on whether or not the ban on interracial marriage was ever formally lifted (it wasn't; and, I'll go ahead and add that I was queued for this thread)
---Here on MDB, in the Celestial Forum, on the issue of whether or not their is a scholarly "consensus" regarding use of the word "magic." DCP claims there *is*, but refused to provide any backup.
And, I also think that Harmony's observations are spot-on.
