Charitys offensive comments from the anonymity thread

[_Mercury]

A very wise person said to me that we are not required to give Satan equal time, in the interest of being "fair."

I find these comments insulting and derogatory. who the F*** do you think you are charity? Your self important rantings are tired and only can cause contention in a home where one parent does not participate in your goddamned cult.

If I were you I would reexamine what you believe. This person you supposedly got this from is deserving of being culled from the herd along with you.

Whats wrong mercury? This comment hit a little too close to home?

The Church is true, and contains the fulness of Christs teachings. Dispite your inability to absorb correct doctrines due to your delusions, your children still need to be brought up in the light.

How are the in-laws treating you? Getting letters that upset you from your own parents?

How olds the daughter now? 4 more years to baptism?

I believe it was Elder Packer in his infamous "Mantle" speech to church educators.

People keep guessing wrong. It was an elderly lady in a ward I was in 30 years ago.

Also people may rant about the doctrine, it is correct. 2 Ne. 10: 16 Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish; for they are they who are the whore of all the earth; for they who are not for me are against me, saith our God.

There are two ways person can fight against God. By teaching there is no God at all, or by teaching that the truths He has revealed are not of valuie.

Sorry if you don't like that.

1 Ne. 16: 1-3 And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had made an end of speaking to my brethren, behold they said unto me: Thou hast declared unto us hard things, more than we are able to bear. And it came to pass that I said unto them that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, he guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center.

Let's see. . .where have we heard that passage before?

Oh, yes. Here we are. John 6.

No doubt that's what Joseph Smith had for breakfast that morning.

Charity, even if you believe the words you've cited here are God's (and not Joseph Smith's), how is it that you have so little introspection that you actually fail to see when you are rude, disrespectful, or give offense?

There are two reasons why people are offended. One, if someone is really offensive, rude, disgusting, blasphemous, profane, etc.

The second is for the reason quoted in the passage of scripture. They are guilty, and the truth is not comfortable to hear. But instead of taking the truth and learning and repenting, they get angry so they don't have to hear the truth, those "hard things" that Laman and Lemuel complained about.

I may not always be tactful, and if I give offense in that way, I apologize. But I don't believe in being politically correct. I don't apologize for the truth.

"The unbelievers are like beasts which, call out to them as one may, can hear nothing but a shout and a cry. Deaf, dumb, and blind, they understand nothing" (2:172).

"The devils will teach their votaries to argue with you. If you obey them you shall yourselves become idolaters. . . . God will humiliate the transgressors and mete out to them a grievous punishment for their scheming" (6:121–25).

"[T]heir hearts were hardened, and Satan made their deeds seem fair to them. And when they had clean forgotten Our admonition We granted them all that they desired; but just as they were rejoicing in what they were given, We suddenly smote them and they were plunged into utter despair. Thus were the evil-doers annihilated. Praise be to God, Lord of the Universe!" (6:43–45).

"We had made them more powerful in the land than yourselves [the Meccans], sent down for them abundant water from the sky and gave them rivers that rolled at their feet. Yet because they sinned We destroyed them all and raised up other generations after them. If We sent down to you a Book inscribed on real parchment and they touched it with their own hands, the unbelievers would still assert: ‘This is but plain sorcery.' They ask: ‘Why has no angel been sent down to him [Muhammad]?' If We had sent down an angel, their fate would have been sealed and they would have never been reprieved" (6:5–8).

"Those that deny Our revelation We will burn in fire. No sooner will their skins be consumed than We shall give them other skins, so that they may truly taste the scourge. God is mighty and wise" (4:55–56).

"Believers, if you yield to the infidels they will drag you back to unbelief and you will return headlong to perdition. . . .We will put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. . . . The Fire shall be their home" (3:149-51).

Muslims don't apologize for the truth, either.

[_Moniker]

I really don't get all that offended when people say I'm of Satan or the devil. I think it could be seen as rude and offensive -- but it doesn't personally bother me.

That'd be like them telling me that I'm just an egg in the Easter Bunnies basket. It's such a "okey dokey" moment -- who cares?

It shows how she views others, yet really does anyone that she directs this to actually think they're of Satan?

Now when she throws the "slut" term about I get pissy. ;)

That's right. The fact is you only see yourself in the second category, and not in the first, which shows complete lack of introspection.
