As a Catholic I accept that we are miles apart theologically, but I can assure you that I have seen far more evidence of the gifts of the Holy Spirit from my LDS friends andneighborsthan I have from many of those who profess to be “bible believing Christians”.
As much as I have felt the anti-Catholic bias from the moderators and posters here in the Religion Forum I can honestly say it is far worse toward Mormons. The wording of your post that drew the warning was far tamer than many, many by Protestants that are actively defended by the religion Moderator. Please do not judge us all by the actions of a few.
Peace and Blessings

Hell hath no fury like a Catholic slighted.
“As much as I have felt the anti-Catholic bias from the moderators and posters here in the Religion Forum”
How ya been doing Natural Law? Long time no see! How goes the whole ‘there is a satanic conspiracy on FR so I’m not going to post in the religion forum anymore’ and “Polytheists have the Holy Spirit too” thing going for you lately?
Wow! Such tremendous irony, NL.
The very first words I had to Teppe in this thread (post #7)...I said:
"First of all, as much as you like to "get personal" and make this thread about me -- it's not about me. The first line of too many Mormon apologists is to get personal...and already with your post you've taken an accusatory stance of my level of Christian traits, being "vehemently anti-Christian", and serving as some exterminator!"
We only have to go back less than five months to a post you sent to Greetings_puny_humans when you said something very similar: "No, you and I are insignificant. This is about the Truth."
See Natural Law 5/13/2013 post to GPH, #625
So here I point to the same focus as you did back then -- that these threads are NOT REALLY about me or you or other posters here...it's about the truth...and what do you do?
You turn around & reinforce the personal attacks of Teppe by "high-fiving" him & then injecting your own on top of that!
You openly judge vague FR posters somewhere -- and by implication, posters in this thread --as...
...(1) not evidencing gifts of the Holy Spirit...as if many gifts of the Holy Spirit would come thru ONLY on a digital thread...[did it EVER dawn on you how incomplete it is to offer up spiritual diagnosis-by-distance on your part? Are you really openly judging people being utilized by the Holy Spirit based upon a slight observance of a mere sliver of their lives? Really?]
...(2) You then expand the "making it personal" by going after FR moderators -- judging them as "biased" [never mind offering ANY evidence whatsoever...what somebody's handcuffed you @ your keyboard from linking something? Is it just easy for you to cast apersions & everybody is just supposed to take your slant as "Gospel Truth"???];
...(3) and then even more ironically, after judging untold/unnamed posters & moderators...you ask Teppe -- who has also just made it personal -- not to judge Christians...all as you yourselfjudged Christians on very post!
Wowsy, NL!
Do you see how repeatedly -- and blatantly -- you've come across in your inconsistency here?
Do you see how one ill-advised post can sink an otherwise solid reputation?
You of all posters -- one who appeals to truth ...versus those who want to reduce all of this to mere poster personalities ... would be one of the last posters I would expect to come in here & reinforce the very person here who attacks the one appealing to truth by reinforcing personal judgments and personal attacks upon others!
Utter irony!
And then you expand the personal attacks! Even going after unnamed FR posters & moderators!?! Really?
You know I haven't taken much notice of your posts previously. After you posted today, I looked thru these past five months & most of them seemed at least reasoned out & thought-thru (even if I disagree with some of their content).
Your post today stands out in stark contrast as unlike you.
May I suggest you apologize to whoever you were attacking...and take the same counsel I gave Teppe in post #7...if you're going to attack people & attempt to hold them accountable for certain words/actions, start being specific...name posters...name posts...quote them...please reconsider these vague generic lambasts. They don't foster civil conversations.
