I find the misuse (and misunderstanding) of the word "Gentile" hilarious:

Gentile

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of a non-Jewish nation; one neither a Jew nor a Christian; belonging to the nations at large, as distinguished from the Jews.

People can write on this thread that a mule is really a dog - it doesn't make it so.

I have often laughed at the fact that only a mormon would call a Jew a “gentile”.

In Mormon circles "Gentile" is used 99% of the time to tell us not to draw divisions between Mormons and others as they did in previous times.

We are not literally calling anyone a 'gentile'.
