I believe you can find this on LDS.org under "Missionary Programme"

It seems as though you're doing anything but waiting.

Go back and watch that video. Richard Dawkins and his fellow people not only mocked, insulted, and rediculed the theists, but made a call for all the attendees to do the same. They follow that with Billboards being posted in religious communities to mock their beliefs, demanding they know the religion is a myth/scam, and attacking people's ideas and beliefs.

Atheism is not a positive belief system. It is an ugly cult trying to start a war, and I think of these people continue the direction they are going, they very well WILL get a civil war.

Really seems like a pointless post. Are you just trying to be heard? Sorry if you feel left out.

LDS.org is full of articles mocking atheists. Latter-day Saints are expected to follow the example of their leaders.

As we've seen over and over again, you only seem to be concerned about mocking/"bigotry" etc when it's directed at Mormons.

I don't care if Atheists exist, nor do I care to prove them right or wrong. What I am sick of is their crying about how abused they are and how they just want equality, but their method is to start a full on war. They don't want equality, they want the extermination of those who are theists. They have come to a "convert to Atheism or we will attack, mock, insult, and embarass you" mentality.

I provided an example of a famous Atheist leader who was the star at an Atheist rally who instructed the attendees to actively engage, mock, insult, and generally attack those who are theist.

Your turn.

I think we have some subconscious 'reflecting' going on...
