Uhm, yes you did and that's fine, but don't try to say one thing and do another.
But before I go any further, are you willing to debate what you posted or are you just posting and running like before?

I'm sorry if my rant seemed like a defense of Mormonism. I'm not trying to convert anybody to any religion unless bringing people to believe in Christ counts. I am however turned off by people who say things that I think are untrue or who say things that may have some truth in it but is said in such a way as to be misleading or belittling. I simply often try to correct these kinds of statements. Yes I have a hard time not taking critical post about Mormons and Mormonism as being about my wife.
You must know my posts and notice that I comment on a wide variety of subjects other than religion. I in fact am always reluctant to talk about religion since I feel so unprepared as compared to others. I am not a Bible student. I have read it several times but am not a student.
I don't know what you mean by running before. I don't spend my life in front of the computer and I am at work. There are limits to what I can do here but I am willing to have a “discussion” with anybody about most anything.
I find it very distasteful when discussions/debates devolve into arguments. The reason for discussions are for people to learn what others know or believe. I enjoy civil discussions. Sometimes people have to agree to disagree but that doesn't mean we can't at least let others know what it is we do believe.
When I see posts that cherry pick quotations from “Mormon Leaders”, especially when taken out of context I am especially offended and lost about how to comment. The reason is that I am not a Mormon Scholar. I'm sure that if you were to debate a Mormon Scholar you would have a lot more fun. I would be just a dimwit by comparison. Perhaps my wife could answer questions.
I guess if you have questions, I would be glad to try to answer them from my perspective but I'm not sure a debate would be much fun for either of us.
So, did I say something in my last post that you find particularly offensive or obviously indefensible from a Christian perspective? My meaning was to defuse the differences and make sense of them since I find the Mormons to be Christian.
I find that most interesting.
