> Saying “X is true and Y is false” is not name-calling. Heresy is just a theological term for false doctrine.

“Heretic”, tho’, personalizes the term. “Heretic” is a pejorative name and a label. If you called me a “heretic” I would be deeply offended. If I called you a “heretic” you would be deeply offended — and rightly so.

Don’t mince with words! You know jolly well it isn’t a nice thing to call anyone.

> I think you have internalized some of the relativistic worldview that is common in liberal circles.

I don’t think I have at all: particularly as I do not move in liberal circles.

> Oh, and I am the prodigal son. I was an atheist for the first 32 years of my life. I provided the sin, God provided the grace that brought me back to Him.

Praise God that He found you. Now, as you are the Prodigal Son, surely you should know better. Had Christians gone out of their way to label you as a “Wicked Dam’ned Unrepentent Sinner Wallowing in Sin” (as all atheists are) how likely would you have been to want to become a Christian?

I'm not mincing with words! I'm not going to dance around the fact that Mormonism is false with obtuse circumlocutions. Language should be clear and direct. If the word heresy is offensive then the truth is offensive.

I'm not offended by the fact that Mormons think I'm a heretic. I'm not offended by the fact that Muslims think I'm an infidel. I'm not offended by the fact that atheists think I'm deluded for believing in any type of a higher power.

The world hates righteousness, and when I was a part of the world I hated righteousness too.

Good Question!!

St. John 3:18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

Take THAT you CONDEMNED non-believers!!
