Why not take on Buddhism ?
I think you’ve demonstrated sufficient intolerance toward Mormons.

Well, show me where the Buddhists congregate online in a real open forum...

(They don't do it here on FR)

Well, keep posting intolerant remarks toward my religious expressions...(you're not yet at the point of "sufficiency")

In-fighting has been a hallmark of Christianity since Paul took up the pen, given that the whole basis of Christianity seems to be “everyone is going to hell but me because I follow the correct set of arbitrary rules and you believe something weirder than I do.” Buddhism, an inclusive religion, would be difficult to argue with from the fundamentalist Christian perspective, as Buddhism lacks the targets (Holy books, dogmatic leadership) that organized religions have. A Buddhist would just nod their head and say:

“The five points of yama, together with the five points of niyama, remind us of the Ten Commandments of the Christian and Jewish faiths, as well as of the ten virtues of Buddhism. In fact, there is no religion without these moral or ethical codes. All spiritual life should be based on these things. They are the foundation stones without which we can never build anything lasting.” Swami Satchidananda

Buddhists haven’t made a practice of identity theft against Jesus of Nazareth.

Mormons have.

She used to be a Mormon, thusly her anger.
