EJ,EJ,EJ!!

Wow!!!

I don't post as much as in the past due to a new bus. venture & getting ramped up for the next election cycle. You state that I've only posted on LDS threads lately. True. The difference? I'm defending my church & my beliefs. Do I construct threads to tear down other religions, day after day, after day? No!

I have differences w/ your religion. I have often posted the reasons in a cogent reasoned manner IN RESPONSE to attacks. I have used quotes from Christianity's fore fathers such as Hippolytus, Origen, etc., who were obviously not LDS in the 2nd & 3rd centuries to further my arguments. I have used scriptures from the Bible as well. You may disagree & I can respect that. What I can't respect is the vitriol in return.

The point is, you don't find any LDS that start threads specifically designed to attack another faith that I'm aware of.

I don't have a lot of time these days to post as my posting history would indicate. When I do, it is often to defend against attacks. Some may hypocritically call that whining. Hmmm. I wonder what you say to liberals & secularists that slam Christianity? Is it whining when you defend your position & decry the unjust nature of an MSM that fails to report Christianity correctly? Interesting.

In regards to Romney, as you know, I was a Fred head & Hunter supporter long before jumping on the Romney wagon. The sad fact was, neither was viable! Not enough juice to carry the day or else they would have. Left w/ the choice of Romney, McCain, or Huckeby, the choice for me was clear. I would much rather have Romney in there now than the current occupant of 1600 Penn. Would I have rather had Fred or Hunter? Sure! But the fact is that they weren't viable as history proved.

Romney didn't lose b/c he wasn't viable, as he took the majority of the conservative vote. He lost due to open primaries where he lost to the crossover & indy votes. Otherwise, our economy & fiscal situation would be far different situation now. Was Romney the perfect candidate? No. Was he the best choice of crappy choices at the time? IMHO yes. It's an opinion. I may be wrong, you may be. The difference is I tried to post civilly (not always succeeding mind you). You & the cabal? Rarely.

The other difference? I didn't try & hide my bigotry behind the mask of a candidate I didn't like. There were many who voiced their displeasure for Romney w/o spending the rest of their time carpet bombing LDS on the anti-Mormon threads. I didn't tag them w/ bigotry b/c it was clear they just had a problem w/ Mitt, not his religion. I can understand that.

Conservatives can disagree on those points. The bigotry of the cabal however was in full splendor & continues this day even though the election is over.

The day I start posting threads sand blasting “Born Agains” or Catholics for no other reason than to sand blast, then come to me & complain about my lack of conservative posts & credentials. Until then, I will continue from time to time to defend against bigotry & continue my work in the field where most Conservatives I work w/ are totally embarrassed by the cabal's tactics. If you consider your tactics against the church as conservative, you might be very well sadly mistaken. Most Evangelicals I talk to that frequent this site are embarrassed by your constant attacks, a feeling expressed by others here on various threads

For what it's worth. It must be lonely when these negative thoughts about a church seemingly consume your every day. I'm sure you think you're doing the Lord's work. We'll see in the end. But it must be a lonely, angry existence none the less.

Unless...

“The bigotry of the cabal however was in full splendor & continues this day even though the election is over.”

Why in the world do you think evangelicals should violate
their consciences to vote for a cultist?? For what purpose?
Has it occurred to you that their reasons for casting their
own votes are theirs alone and not yours?

It seems that there is bigotry among Mitt supporters like
you, that insist their way is the only right way and
condemn the religious convictions of everyone else as wrong.
This despite the published mormonite statement of faith
that says a man should be free to follow their conscience.

Pure Mittgotry.

Mitt-go-try: The belief of a Mittgot that others should
violate their consciences in the way they vote.

Synonyms: Kolobian, histrionic, fluffy.
