Nothing defensive, Simon. I've talked about my history before, but in this thread it's just a deflection.

Back to the topic. Though the LDS Church takes no present official position on what constitutes the "Great and Abominable Church," several LDS leaders have specifically noted that it refers to Christianity or the Catholic Church. Personally, I don't have any problems with this. I do, however, think that it's an example of LDS leaders attacking another faith.

Reposting for a response from Simon. How is what LDS leaders have done any different from Rich's so-called attacks?

I am not responsible for other people's opinions, actions, or words. I am responsible for mine, and Rich is responsible for his.

Yes, some past leaders have said some things which are negative towards other faiths, but on the whole, we have always been a people who love and include everyone.

I can think of some very notable exceptions, but will let it go.

Thank you, Simon, for the response. Take care.

Um, no. That's a very recent development.

They used to have another character in the endowment - an evil minister who represented fallen religions (read: every religion but the COTPOTCOJCOLDS). :D

Claiming that I am completly ignorant about Mormonism is just one of the reasons I find no credibility in what that man says.

You have shown, time and again, that you know very little about my faith.

Great Caesar's Ghost, man! Can't you tell the difference between
"completely ignorant"
and
"know very little"?

Were you raised on a pig farm, to just throw words out like slop without paying any attention where they go or what they mean?

You can argue every nuance of my writing that you wish, if that makes you happy.

Attacking people and groups who are different than Rich makes him happy.

Defending people and faiths from people like Rich make me happy.

To each their own.

Translation - You can point out where I'm being hypocritical and ignorant, but I won't listen and I'll continue to be a broken record and acknowledge nothing.

Attacking people and groups who are different than Rich makes him happy.

Translation - I pretend to know what makes someone else happy to defend my ignorance of the truth.

Defending people and faiths from people like Rich make me happy.

Translation - If I blatantly ignore intellectual honesty, someone who needs to feed their cognitive dissonance with distortion can potentially be kept from learning the truth.

Lol - Its like you are not intelligent enough to grasp the hypocrisy of creating a thread to attack someone you disagree with for "attacking" people he disagrees with...You are quite the clown...

by the way - thanks for pointing out Rich's site as I didn't know it existed until you decided to publicly attack him and his faith...

Simon,

Your arguments on this thread have been terrible--completely devoid of nuance, substance, or evidence. It's shameful.

http://objectiveministries.org/shutdown/ - does this guy remind you of anybody? don't worry simon, you are not alone in your crusade to shut down anything/anyone that doesn't agree with your "beliefs"...
