The fact that you continually spew such unintended hilarity makes life worth living.

I'm assuming this question is directed at me. The answer is: none. Unlike you, I respect intellect and education, not weaseling sophistry.
You made the statement so I was just curious. The only thing you seem to respect are opinions that match yours so I have significant doubts about your erudition and ability to navigate much beyond simply daily tasks. One of your ancestral jellyfishes could do about as well.

My total lack of respect for you and your bloviations is proof enough that I respect intelligent people who disagree with me. I don't respect people who cobble together nonsensical theories and just plain lies to justify their belief. That you have a ludicrously inflated sense of your own righteousness and brilliance is just icing on the cake.

Prior to 1978 how did Bishops determine which members were not to be issued Temple Recommends as a result of the Ban? Did they ask for a family tree as part of the interview?

Utterly irrelevant to the question of racism as to why the ban in the first place. If the ban is not based on race, then the execution of it cannot be racism either. And indeed all evidence points to that being the case.

As soon as you provide evidence that I have no respect for anyone whose opinion does not match mine.

So, do you not know or is the answer embarrassing?

Only in bcspace's world is something based on skin color not racist.
