You have to pick your Python, that is for sure. I love the dead parrot sketch, the department of silly walks, and the bureau of argumentation. No need for repentance after those venues.

I'm still receiving FReepmails from one die-hard who continues to attempt to regale and horrify with still more of his new-found "terrible secrets" about the Church obtained from from his "contacts" who are ex-"Mormons," Church members, or "friends" of the Church who are not members thereof. Just so everyone knows, it's not me doing this. I prefer my well reasoned arguments to be public. If someone isn't willing to put their opinion out for others to critique, they aren't worth my attention.

Thanks. Since we are vetting, I did hit the abuse button. Before I hit it, I announced in the thread that I was going to hit it and explained why I hit the button. It was not my intention to have the thread removed, I wanted only five or six threads removed that clearly violated community standards.
I do not recall any events in which you violated that standard.

Uh, make that five or six comments!

Sorry. It certainly was not you. In any event, this whole business is moot, really of no import, and has been filed by me under old news. I should add that our exchanges here never have begun to approach the level of sick vitriol of another's.
Life really is too short. All the best (really).... ;~)

I never thought for a second that you meant to imply that I would do such a thing, but others might have thought I would.
To: connectthedots
Just for the record, connectthedots, I didn't think it was you either. :)

Thanks. I wanted to clarify things for the "benefit" of anyone who wrongfully might be inclined to throw rocks at or think ill of you.
I/all of us should keep in mind that in actuality we are on the same team and facing some very real and formidable enemies to our Nation, IMO. Take care...

So many times I get so irritated with those that have nothing better to do after leaving a religion than to bash it. Often I wonder what benefit someone would have from getting someone else away from their religion. Do they think they will get extra points to get into Heaven? Are they really worried about my salvation?
I was raised Catholic. There were certain questions that were often put off with, "You'll find out in the end." Outside of church my father would teach me beliefs from what he had read in the Bible. When I began to investigate the LDS church I felt I had come home. Everything I had been taught all my life from my father, were the beliefs in the LDS church.
I still have respect for the Catholic church, but know I am where I belong. I have been to other denominations and have always felt uncomfortable. Of course, it was funny that my mother (who is not active in her faith) at first believed I was "going against my beliefs" because I was no longer Catholic. Would it be better for someone to have no religion than for them to be active in the LDS church?
I know I originally had a point, but then went on and on. My original point (somewhere in there) is that even though I am no longer in the Catholic church, it is not my place to bash it.
