Please stop blaspheming the Holy Ghost. Thank you.

Please show where the HG was 'blasphemed'.

Thanks...

[Elsie]

Why hasn’t someone asked if I still beat my wife?

[rarestia]

And I used an adequate synonym. What’s your point?

[Elsie]

Please stop saying what you THINK I believe.

Do you have a TEmple Recommend®?

[Elsie]

What I believe is found in the LDS Articles of Faith which you gleefully distort and desecrate.

WHY are leaving out the OTHER stuff that you believe?

Are you ASHAMED to admit it?

[rarestia]

I challenge you to browse my posts over the years and point out anything as an example of timidity or cowardice. You’re entitled to think me a punk, and you’re more than welcome to think that I’m some DNC operative. Again, I would challenge you to go through my previous posts and find one example of where I towed the DNC line. You’ll be hard pressed.

And my language? You’ve got a soft stomach, dude.

[Elsie]

So, to summarize, much about a person can be learned through investigation of their writing style, tone, timbre, linguistic competence, and vocabulary usage.

Ok; let's use YOUR expertise in this area to show MORMONs that their BoM was NOT 'written by GOD'.

Is that possible?

[Saundra Duffy]

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I believe what is stated in the LDS Articles of Faith. That is what I believe.

Jesus Christ is my Savior, Redeemer, Lord, and Soon Coming King.

Jesus died for Mormons, too.

[Elsie]

This was an OPINION. The sooner you can accept that, the sooner this conversation will cease.

We realize that; but we countered with FACT.

We really should quit arguing past one another.

I'll quit now.

o·pin·ion
–noun
1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.

By the defined terms, there's no way you could possibly say that my opinion is wrong. Likewise, I could not say that your opinion is wrong.

If you want to be technical, you could say that my premise is invalid, but you cannot logically say that my opinion is wrong. Opinion is a null value. You can't program opinion as a true/false. It's just an opinion.

[Elsie]

I meant nothing else by it, and frankly, I'm tired of this crap.

Me, too!

We're up to #425, and the NUMBERS at the rally haven't been mentioned in, oh, 400 or so! ;^)

[MHGinTN]

Ah, well you got me there, all the nasty language was in writing, on an Internet news discussion site for conservatives and anyone wishing to read conservative perspectives. I haven’t heard a word the potty mind has spoken, thankfully.

[rarestia]

I’ve given you all the dictionary definition of Christian. Your countering isn’t factual, it’s based on your understanding of your creed.

[Elsie]

I’m fighting back.

But we're piling on!! ;^)

[rarestia]

I was a 350 lb. linebacker. I’m used to both piling on and being piled on. Bring it!

[svcw]

Oh, good grief. You want your opinion but you do not accord the same to others. It is ok, sonny.
If you make a statement and I say that statement is wrong and you get angry are you not trying to argue me to your position.
I really don’t care what you believe about Beck, lds are not Christians.

[Elsie]

People in grass houses,
shouldn’t stow thrones.

[Elsie]

And I used an adequate synonym. What’s your point?

I guess it had to do with tone and timbre...

[rarestia]

*scratches head* When did I ever not give you the same deference? This whole time I’ve been defending myself. I never said you were wrong. You’re as entitled to your opinion and beliefs as am I. I never said I espoused the LDS. We see eye-to-eye on LDS, for sure. The issue was with one word that I used that’s apparently defined differently in secular vs. religious circles.

I’ll be more careful next time.

[Elsie]

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

You are sure ashamed of SOMETHING!

Do you have a Temple Recommend©?
