You never showed that gentle personality towards the LDS!

I have family (in-laws) who are RLDS. We have our disagreements but I get along very well with them. My wife came from that background knows far more about the BOM and the D&C than I ever could. After years of struggling with what she read in those books, she has finally found her home in the Catholic Church.

Your Church can't think we are so bad when the millions of dollards of LDS charity donation we distribute in concert with the Catholics!

Mormons are very good at charity (daresay better than many Catholics) and I respect that. But as soon as we talk theology I cannot respect what is patently untrue. Mormons can be and often are excellent people to have as friends and allies, but it is not loving to keep silent when friends and loved ones are living by lies.

DS population has a great percentage of University grads or have skilled occupation that can compete with any!

The original point of this article was a professor who challenged someone to duplicate what Joseph Smith did. The education level of modern LDS is non-sequetur. My argument is that some have published stories that have the scope of the BOM and that while good writing may require an education, making up a long and semi-believable story does not. I am sure you would be even more uncomfortable at the mention of other men who actually went made the claims and did the things Smith did. There is nothing miraculous about a relatively uneducated, but talented and audacious man creating a work like the BOM.

You leave me to say by your stereo posting again that you also seems pompous...

Stereo posting???
As being cordial goes, I don't think I've made any personal remarks about you, but I've been called acid and pompous by you. Someone is feeling very defensive now so I will leave them alone. Good day.

Yes on this latest forum you are careful but Flying Circus you were brutal to me in 2004 and I did not forget it.

I tried to be cordial in our dialogue but when you implied drinking and boozing etc.

I fine that offensive for it never happen!

Being offensive is spilling acid on another Flying Circus

...and to say the LDS are of a lower caliber when many have been and are heads of educational departments of many leading non LDS University that remark of your seems being pompous!

BTW

I did not call you pompous I said seems pompous!

Now personally I could be called limited ed as far as the world standards, I don't think my Heavely Father would say that for it is him that my understanding comes from!
