More LDS Racism on MAD

[_Trevor]

And it is smarmy little asses who correct other's typos as a petty little put down in lieu of serious argument.

I've encountered this before in other forums.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Like your buddy, Bob, does?

It is a pity that you are so easily wounded, Coggy. It really doesn't become someone so full of bluster to act as pathetically as you do here.

You can dish it out, but it is clear you can't take it. Now go lick your wounds, and come back to bluster another day.

Incredible. This individual is becoming Mr. Scratch even as we speak.

I sense occult phenomena afoot...

[_RockHeaded]

Really? hhhhmmmmmmmm please tell me how my wacky beliefs compare to the government creating aids to kill 'people of color' or any of the other wonderful sound bites by Wright.

Well, let's see:

Do you believe that Jesus rose from the dead?

several million people believe this.

Do you believe the Bible to be the word of God?

another one where I don't think I'm in the minority, at least in the U.S.

Do you believe that the LDS Church is the only true church?

no

Do you believe that Hebrews colonized America, established Christianity here before the life of Jesus, and left a record of their civilization on gold plates that was translated by an ignorant farm boy?

yes

Do you think that the LDS temple ceremony is the continuation of a chain of saving ordinances that date back to Adam?

no

Do you believe in the existence of Kolob?

no

Do you believe that Joseph Smith's translation of the Book of Abraham represents a faithful translation of an ancient Egyptian text?

no

You see, while you mighty not find those things wacky, I assure you that there are people who surely would. These people are no less reasonable than you think you are.

I am very reasonable. But being someone that love's this country I am not too fond of the anti-American rhetoric. People can believe what they want, I don't care, but when someone is running for president their beliefs and views are important. You can compare my beliefs with that of Wrights (which I find humorous) but I would never sit in a church that preached any hate. Just for the record, none of the things you asked me above compares to believing the government created aids.

This was almost certainly a mistake. It will probably energize you for several hours, if not for several days. You'll be in bliss, slandering and maligning and distorting and misrepresenting. Doing what you love to do.

Ok. So essentially some normal Jews were offended at the notion of Mormons baptizing their dead ancestors. Mr. Peterson considers them extremists. What a buffoon. . . . So, if the Jews don't sit down and take it, they risk losing Mormon support. Wow. What a veiled little threat.

Yes, precisely. DCP is correct about there being a good deal of anti-Jewish feeling around the world. My question is: Why add to it by threatening to take away support if Jews don't capitulate to proxy baptisms?

Yeah, I see your point very clearly. Any Jew who doesn't agree with you is an extremist, and if they don't shut up you're going to ensure they lose Mormon support. You, Sir, are an anti-Semite. Bastard.

QED.

I rest my case.

Yet another lie, by the BYU Buffoon. I clearly recall Mr. Peterson saying he was going to post once, and be done with the thread. In typical passive-aggressive measure he comes back... And posts. What in the world is wrong with this guy?

I must say I agree

Scratch you are the king of spin and distortion. Carry on. But please don't ever accuse others of spin. The conclusion you reach through your snippets from other board are often simply astounding.

Shock, you are simply,at least on this thread, an idiot.

That's fine, but what did I say was wrong? At least I give the courtesy of being clear without making you wade through an ocean of meaningless griping to understand my point.

The bottom line is Mr. Peterson calls Jews who disagree with him on this issue extremists, and then issued a veiled threat that they might lose Mormon support if they don't shut up about proxy baptisms. That, my friend, was all too clear from his bigoted post. The audacity to tell the Jews to not be offended at the thought of Mormons baptizing their ancestors by proxy is rooted in the Mormon superiority complex. Instead of introspection and repentance, the Jews get a face full of veiled threats. What a shame.

The only thing unbelievable about this is your illimitable ignorance of the cultural, social, and political history over the last 40 or so years, of your own country, years which, I assume you were alive and conscious (but, you probably have traditionally received most of your knowledge about the world from CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC etc., so even the most abyssal ignorance of easily acquired facts and knowledge is understood to be di rigueur).

several million people believe this.

I daresay more than that do, RH. But since when does the sheer number of adherents to a belief prove its validity?

another one where I don't think I'm in the minority, at least in the U.S.

Ditto.

I am sure there are those who would question how reasonable you are for believing in the Book of Mormon back story.

I do not blame you for not being too fond of anti-American rhetoric. Still, it is easy for you to denigrate Wright and find yourself to be reasonable because you have no idea what it is like to be Wright or, more importantly, one of the many people for whom this rhetoric is sadly appealing. You see yourself as reasonable, but plenty of other 'reasonable' people would accuse you of putting too much stock in tall tales and fairy stories. We all like to believe we are reasonable, RH.

Too conclude that Peterson is an anti Semite based on what he wrote is ludicrous.

Too conclude he is that he is even threatening that the Church will turn against Jews over the proxy baptism issue is silly. All he said was that some Mormons might feel less then friendly over the issue and why do things that may alienate friends?

The bottom line is Mr. Peterson calls Jews who disagree with him on this issue extremists,

No. He said that some Jewish extermists make an issue over this. He did not say all that were opposed to it were extremists.

and then issued a veiled threat that they might lose Mormon support if they don't shut up about proxy baptisms.

I think it is idiotic to conclude that his comments were a veiled threat. It was simply a statement of what could happen and the SOME, not all, Mormons may respond this way.

That, my friend, was all too clear from his bigoted post.

Only for someone looking to grind an ax which clearly you are.

The audacity to tell the Jews to not be offended at the thought of Mormons baptizing their ancestors by proxy is rooted in the Mormon superiority complex. Instead of introspection and repentance, the Jews get a face full of veiled threats. What a shame.

How you can conclude this from what he said is beyond me. I think you are being irrational.

Note to Scratch: the overwhelming majority of racism, properly understood, exists today primarily on the cultural Left, among an unfortunately substantial segment of indigenous American blacks, and a tiny, isolated sub-culture of whites associated with the white identity movement.

I suppose you're the man to properly understand it?

Coggins, you scare me.

I think I see Coggins:
