I agree with you almost 100%, except that I would replace the word "defenders" with "Mopologists" because I believe that there are numerous well-meaning defenders of the LDS Church who don't regularly violate LDS principles in order to puff up their own egos through winning arguments by any means, no matter how deceptive, vulgar, or low.

Thought I meant Joseph Smith Jr. right? Nope he says Jesus Smith.

Wow, are you serious? You are, in your vile hatred of the LDS Faith, going to point out an elderly person's minor slip up? Do you consider yourself as having any virtue whatsoever?
Need we remind you that, without that which you hate so virulently, you would at this moment likely be unemployed.


I don't know him but most of us don't hate LDS Church, actually some of us do like Mormon heritage. However it doesn't alter the fact that GBH was a moron, a bumbling idiot, an embarrassment for the Church most of the time he opened his mouth.
Would you give the reigns of your Company to this guy? Over my dead body, as saying goes.

Here is what I've learned from The Mighty Builder:

The Church is untrue because, in the 1960s, the Church Office Building was built with an inferior construction method (seen as perfectly fine in the 60s.)

The Church is untrue because the Ogden Temple was built in the same manner as the COB, and is a "BUTT UGLY TEMPLE". In addition, the Ogden temple grounds are run down, and the adjacent real estate hasn't had anything on it for years.

The Church is untrue because the Provo Temple is also ugly.

The Church is untrue because one of his co-workers does not want to work on Sunday, however this same person has been seen in the office, using the copier.

The Church is untrue because less than 50% of the apostles are from outside of the United States

The Church is untrue because President Monson helped dedicate a Zion's Bank (which the Church has vested interest in).

The Church is untrue because not all temples look the same, or cost the same to build.

The Church is untrue because it asked Utah Woolen Mills to relocate for City Creek Center.

This is clearly not a person who likes the Church.

Interesting observations, professor. I would, however, like to point out that solomarineris prefaced his comments with the qualifier, "I don't know about him [The Mighty Builder]...," clearly showing that he was speaking for himself.

Such simplicity is lost on you. I will give you the definition again:

To speak of or address by a specified name : give a name to <call her Kitty>

Read it, internalize it, think about its meaning for at least a moment.

I do not care about "speaking" I care about what it is "called."

Again, read the definition.

And again, you have never met a Strangite.

If you are unable to engage in such a sophisticated conversation, I suggest you visit crayola.com.


I prayed about these things and thus have a testimony that you are both wrong (obviously since you continue to harp on a non-existent distinction) and an asshat. Elohim has confirmed these truths to me and there is nothing you can say that will change what i have experienced...In the name of my gardener, Jesus cruz, amen...

by the way - Only a mentally-stunted-mormon-wannabe-pseudo-apologist would actually consider this a sophisticated conversation...something tells me you don't have many real-life interactions...

I am glad you agree with me.
Resorting to personal attacks is a sign that you've lost. And you have. Better luck next time.

Professor Kishkumen,

I am aware that solomarineris was speaking for himself, and I agree with him that a great deal of people here do not actually hate the Church. I wanted to point out someone who, I believe, in fact does hate it.

And as you pointed out earlier, he could have some sort of personal vendetta against it, but nevertheless he definitely does not like the Church.

Lets look at your first post to me on this thread:

"You are even more ignorant than I imagined you before you made this stupid statement.

Let's see if you can tell the difference. I will spell the Strangite version in red, and our version in blue, okay? Hopefully this will make it simple enough for you to follow along.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Do you see the difference?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Jeez, it is like I am surrounded by fools!"

By your own made up (and somewhat idiotic) rule, it looks like you like you lost straight out of the gate...asshat...

And after all this time, you still do not understand the difference between:

That's because when conversing orally, there is no difference. And the difference in written communication could be chalked up to spelling errors.
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.
