“Much of the hate towards Mormons”
Which statement, specifically, is hateful?
Which "comment" is envious?
You talk about some "party" as "envy-laden" but you didn't address anybody other than me.
And my only comments in post #1 was:
Comment b Hmm...I wonder how many "poor" general authorities there are in the Lds church were picked as paycheck-worthy general authorities?
(You're not implying that I'm envious the Lds general authorities didn't pick me-- a non-Mormon-- to be a general authority, are you?)
Comment a: There. Proof that the "prosperity gospel" didn't start with a few TV preachers! It goes back at least 180 years to Joseph Smith and his Book of Mormon!
NO Mormon envy there...I'm an equal-opportunity critic of the "prosperity gospel" -- I don't think it belongs in any church no matter what sign is on the door.
Comment c: Well. How would movies like A Christmas Carol and the Utah-based movie, The Ghosts of Dickens Past go over in Mormonland based upon the MWA?
So what? A Christmas Carol is now a tale of "envy" per you? Really?
But actually, I don't think your accusation of "envy" was addressing my comments at all.
And if you were addressing a specific poster, why ping me or only me?
No, if you'd been provoked by something supposedly "envious" said by a poster, you would pinged them.
You didn't.
Which really means you're addressing the author of this article. And that tells me that before you even commented, you didn't bother to look to see who wrote it.
So again, It was written by a Mormon on a Mormon Web site. Yet you spun this into an "us" vs. "them" thing instead of portraying this as a "them" vs. "them" thing.
Your comments need definitive clarification.
We are quite often tasked by the Religion Moderator with providing source links when we make specific claims like this. Please do provide a link to proof that "the Mormon advantage is scientifically real". Thanks
Oh?
I just LOVE science!
Got any DATA to prove what you just claimed?
It mattereth not how one succeeds in life; doncha know.
It is how one succeeds after DEATH that is all important.
And the source is?
How do you know "Mormon religious beliefs can't be proven …" - you say elsewhere that you're not Mormon and have no dog in the the hunt (or whatever)?
