Heh. I was going to compare Christianity to an ancient Egyptian resurrection cult and some really esoteric faith centered on a central charismatic leader, but couldn't quite nail down what I wanted to go with.

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”

The decision in Europe you refer to is causing a lot of consternation here among net neutrality and free speech advocates, not to mention Google itself.
Many believe that this kind of ruling is unenforceable and will lead to more administrative and legal problems than the judges who made it could ever imagine.
It is likely to be a long time before Google actually removes and such information, European court or no. And, of course, there are always the web archiving sites to contend with. While it may be possible to make the damaging information hard to find, it is unlikely that it can be completely expunged from the public record.
Looks to me like a judiciary attempt to "un-ring" a bell. Pretty hard to do.
So far as I am concerned, it illustrates the imperfection of human beings. People who know and accept this will someday laugh at all ad hominem attacks.
Problems with auto-correct: In Helaman 6:39, we see the Badmintons, so similar to Skousenite Mormons, taking over the government and abusing the rights of many.

Oh, good heavens, your rhetoric has skyrocketed beyond the ceiling of plausibility. You cannot possibly be this ignorant of Mormonism, Christianity, Islam, or Hinduism, which means you're just being dishonest for rhetorical effect. Why lie so flagrantly when you spend so much time spewing hatred at others for ostensible dishonesty?
And you don't believe that there is a sub-cult of higher textual criticism in the main Mormon Church? And save your demeaning rhetoric for CARM, will you.
What do you think about New Order Mormons? Do you relate to them?
