Most of the questions folks have regarding Mormonism center upon conflicts with where Mormonism deviates from Christianity; if the mormonism apologist/deceiver answers directly, they have to verify they believe the mormon version and thus show they accept the blasphemies rather than what Christianity teaches; this instantly reveals that Momronism is not Christianity, that the apologist/deceiver knows it is not Christianity, and that the apologist/deceiver is fine with that even as the LDS apologist uses Jesus' name in their demonic cult name.
It is also clear that the Parsimonious Deflector is using FreeRepublic.com to try and proselytize for this cult religion, so exposing the glaring variations from the truth of Christianity would defeat the devious purpose of the poster.
BTW, that devious purpose is to stealthily try to suck people into a cult which knows it is not Christian while using in its name the name Jesus Christ while knowing they are established by Joseph Smith, not Jesus Christ. Whne a mormon objects to that last sentence, ask them to then show you the rituals of mormonism found explained/directed in the ‘book of mormon’ poorly written novel they call their scriptures.

>>There is subtle fact surfacing in the refusal to answer direct questions, but instead direct the questioner to a bank of ‘approved’ responses.<<
Actually I think it’s a dodge. They don’t want to take the view on a personal level. They divert to the written words of the church which physiologically insulates them from culpability and gives them the protection of group think. Catholics do the same thing.
