Reading your posts now is very interesting. You seem to count yourself above the Mormons because you seem to use the Mormon term as if you are no longer one. Or if you are, you are too superior to be one of the 'Mormons'.

Well, what can I say. You need to read your Bible. God certainly has his favorites. However, I don't think god is racist. Many of the jewish people living in Israel can use the chosen people idea to further their political aims in the holy city and in the west bank. But is god racist? No, but he did have his favorites.

And if his favorites are based on race, what does that make God?

Lets just say that you have evolved into what you are now: someone who is having his problems with the Mormons and with the Mormon church. But it is the same church you were so keen on during your famous bullseye posts of yesteryear. Of course, back then all looked forward to your posts, especially your posts from the sunday school class.

Which reminds me: wouldn't you want just me to raise her hand in your former class and ask her questions and make her statements? She would have been a gem in your class. She needs to be encouraged to speak up. Do you agree?

Someone who has his favorites since his son was born jewish. I suppose that he could have been born somewhere else but...what to do? He could have been born greek or roman.

One of my favorite things about God is how He inevitably has the same social mores, attitudes, and material interests as the people claiming to be His chosen people.

I also like how God always makes sure to give His chosen people a holy book that says the people who promulgate the holy book are His chosen people, and the way we can know that the holy book is the word of God is because the holy book says so.
