Since I qualified my statement with “IF” and you wisely sidestepped my observation that authority and superiority are not the same thing; I consider the issue settled. Your interpretation is wrong. Period. You know it and I know it.

Your statement and inference . . . . no out right open statement - against my military service ending with a DC is putrid, and as a veteran no "IF" will ever provide adequate 'coverage' for that. Secondly, it doesn't matter about either - you are not an authority over me, nor are you superior to me.

I did not and do not condemn your service - I admire it.

I definitely do not believe you. This is more likely trying to suck up to JR to keep your sorry keester from being zotted. The fact that you attacked my military service - absolutely ignorant of it too boot - shows you hold veterans in low esteem.

Welcome to the human race. Perhaps now we’ve crossed the Rubicon and a more honest and respectful dialog can occur.

Any credible dialogue got flushed down the rubicon with that. You are a dishonest rube who when unable to present an argument goes to a personal attack. Yes, you certainly do not understand the military, for I've locked the heels of many a snotty solder with your attitude.

No, another poster was correct - you've shown all just how 'nice' mormons are.

you have a thin skin when the jab hits close to home.

I have a thin skin when a snotty nosed and arrogant canadian choses NOT to address the issue being discussed and choses to personally attack me and my record.

You know, Godzilla, you really need to stop this distortion. I’ve repeatedly addressed your arguments. Claiming I’ve avoided them is dishonest. I know, I know, the usual players here will side with you but the posting history shows otherwise.

YOU, not me, distorted Mormonism’s view on women. YOU, not me, ignores points. Did you address my pointing out the obvious that you’re confusing authority with superiority? No you didn’t.

I’ve spent hours and hours of my extremely valuable time replying to you and the other anti-Mormons on this forum this past week. I really have better things to do than engage in religious debates - I discontinued writing Mormon apologetics for the precise reason that I simply do NOT care any more. I get dragged in on this forum because I simply cannot tolerate the constant lying and misrepresentation you and the others do against my faith. I know such demonization is the first step towards justification of genocide and if not confronted, bad things will eventually happen all over again just because of religious intolerance.

So now, using the “IF” qualifier is invalid, just because your feelings were hurt? Baloney. Reading into my jab to infer it was a condemnation of your “alleged” military service? How did that happen?

Also, why are you frothing at the mouth? You constantly engage in belittling me and my fellow Mormons, but when your credibility is questioned; oh! How dare he!

Come to think of it, are you really a military veteran or just one of those phonies who were against the war that were paraded before the media? After all, you’re expecting me and everyone else to believe you’re a vet. Well, how would we know you’re telling the truth? Anyone can claim to be anything here.

It really is quite simple. STOP LYING and MISREPRESENTING my faith. I do not do it to your faith; don’t do it to mine.

My interests are elsewhere. So take your alleged righteous indignation, pretend your red herring gives you a great moral victory, and get on with your life.

Lastly, I know my writing style 12 years ago was atrocious - I make no apologies for whatever I wrote in my 20s. Bye boyo.
