Ah, so you consider things like facts, intelligence, rational thought, scientific study and reality to be "anti-mormon"...Got it! Your posts suddenly make so much more sense.

Not really. I do consider people like you that make misrepresentations of what is actually said and the "facts" themselves as anti-Mormon and anti-truth as well. You aren't interested in an honest discussion, but instead resort to transparent and callous lies. You literally have no scruples at all and are willing to go to any depths in your mischaracterizations.

Again, please show us where the "facts" on mormonthink have been "misrepresented"...Or did god just come down and tell you that there are misrepresentations on the site without you actually having to do any work? Admit it, you are just embarrassed that the "facts" are not favorable to your pet beliefs...Its sad that the truth is so offensive to you.

Yes. The most persuasive misrepresentations (or lies) are absolutely true. It is often the conclusions or application of the facts that is the problem. Truth requires integrity thoughtout. Deception can be involved at an step along the way. This is how Satan (and those that follow him) work. They will tell 99.99% of the truth, and then they will get you with one small deceit. The deceit almost always leads one away from God, so it is easy to see it when it occurs - even if you can not see through the lie because you lack the knowledge.

I did not make that claim. As I've said, the only person it seems interested in misrepresenting things is you.

Now can we get an example from the MT website?

Not a mis-characterization at all. You said "I view as anti-Mormon as anything that discredits the claims that the gospel..." AND, unfortunately for you, things like "facts, intelligence, rational thought, scientific study and reality" discredit Mormon teachings....Not only that, the cfr was for me having NO scruples...Please tell me how you know this considering most people think I am a pretty good guy? Did god also tell you this during your visitation? If so, I would be concerned about which god you were visited by - loki can be a tricky one...

Romney is Mormon and as a result, he should not be elected as president.

It is 100% true that he is Mormon. The application is biased and false however.
