That I am holding off from addressing the heresies of Mormonism for now on this thread should not be mischaracterized as ‘out of logical arguments.’ That baiting comment by you isn’t going to goad me into address the poster directly with a ping. Arguing with arrogant, ridiculing, condescending posters is not profitable for readers and detracts from reasoning about the candidates, despite what Saundra tried to accomplish with this thread/essay.

The fact that you keep posting about my posts without pinging me is a very sad sign to see. No that it injures me per se, but it shows you in a very bad light.
MHG, you claim to b a Christian, but you refuse to forgive a comment that was not aimed at you several threads ago. I was talking to a poster who was not bothering to read my posts before responding. I said that I was under matched in the debate. It was my true assessment, however you took offense and started trying to tweak me. I moved to a new thread, you again started tweaking me, which is all well and good. Another poster got banned in part because I fought with him. I have expressed regret, over his banning, even privately, and publicly apologized to you. (although why you care so much about his banning is a mystery to me) You have stated that I am so arrogant that you do not think you must follow forum rules and ping me to posts, this does not make me look bad, It does however show that you have not forgiven me. I do not need your forgiveness personally. I am concerned not for your reputation here, but for your soul. I beg you do not let this canker in your soul, hate, or even a grudge is not befitting a Christian, and I believe you are sincere in your wish to Follow Jesus Christ.
Just a one scripture if I may:
Matthew 5:21-25
21 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
MHG, do not be angry with me, this is not a command it is a request. Quite frankly, I am a jerk sometimes and I say things to make people react, chalk it up to my autism, or intellect, or whatever you need to say to yourself to make it OK, but do not carry a grudge for quite frankly I am not worth it. I am just a pajama clad guy in Utah posting on a forum.
Go with God, May he heal the wounds that cannot be seen.
