I did enjoy it very much. Isn't that really one of the problems here? This is a conservative site. Can you imagine if some of these so called “Christians” spent as much time preaching here the evils of adultery, fornication, etc....., as they do on polygamy, something we haven't practiced or accepted for a long, long time?

Conservatism could use the help with McLiberal as the R candidate...

Of course to many of them, all that matters is that they believe in the Lord & they're saved. Doesn't matter what doctrines they believe, what sins they commit, or what other Christians they trash. As long as they believed, that's all that matters regardless of what the scriptures say. I suspect many feel if they are wrong in their beliefs, as long as they say they believed but were duped by the cunning arts of man, all will be well.

My Mom and Dad joined the Church as adults with Children, some of our Methodist and Calvinist relatives once got together with them, and told them they were not "saved", My Mom replied, funny, you thought I was saved when we were in grade school together and I was Methodist, When did it become possible to become "unsaved" later? (according to their doctrine, either she was never saved in the first place which is downright funny as to how many doors that opens for none of them being saved, or she is still saved today). When challenged by one of them to join their church as a teen, I responded "It just wasn't meant to be, God doesn't want me to join..." Calvinists believe in predestination, and that Man lost free will with Adam, so they couldn't even argue with me, it was hysterical!

They say doctrines don't matter,

Yeah, We could destroy them with their own tenets easily enough, and at one point in my life I had a lot of fun doing just that, then I grew up a bit, went on my mission, etc. And discovered that my dad was way smarter than he used to be... One of the things he tried to teach me was "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." This saves me a lot of grief here, I only defend, I don't try to prove their religion wrong (I don't even want to know it'd tempt me). Sometimes in defending, I have to stave in a tenet or two of theirs, but it's their fault, they are the ones attacking. I won't feel bad about shooting someone who breaks into my house either.

Fortunately my FRiend, I think these folks are very much in the minority. As to one of your other comments, there are far more people that follow these threads & read your posts as well as many others than these folks would believe. There are those that undoubtedly enjoy the attacks, but many more who consider it abhorrent behavior. “By their fruit ye shall know them” couldn't be more applicable here.

Bears repeating, and well said.

And boy do the anti's have some "Fruits" to be known by... (I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist... Can't take the Punishment... Argh!)

Like these “fruits?”

HONOLULU — The state of Hawaii is scheduled to hear arguments this week on whether three Oahu men, including a Mormon church bishop, should each be fined over $3,000 for allegedly stealing rocks from a Maui beach for an underground cooking pit at their church.

The men allegedly tried to haul 943 coconut-sized rocks in pickup trucks on board the Hawaii Superferry from Maui to the Kahaluu Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
