"If you are auditioning to become a god, of course, you'll be on your best behavior!"

So? Frankly, I don't give a flying Fig Newton how people worship God, as long as no laws are being broken, no one is being hurt or molested, they're not putting any demands on how I worship, and it doesn't threaten my country, my family or me.

But I'm beginning to have serious doubts about those who continually try to turn me against folks who are minding their own business, and being good people in the process.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Fatal logical flaw right there.

Please explain how it is....
...that a religion like Mormonism...
...one that has out there right now 52,000 door-to-door missionaries...
...can by ANY stretch of the imagination...
...be considered operating by your optimum standard of “minding their own business?”

You would think...
...with your spiritual libertarianism...
[a theme you keep repeating – see also post #80 re: “meddling” and post #92 re: “let[ting] people live their own lives” and the need for people to “mind their own business”]
...that you would actually apply that even-handedly.

But of course, no. We don't see a call from you to allow folks at home “minding their own business” to not have their homes' doorbells & door-knockers imposed upon to answer to the religious proselytizing of door-to-door Mormon missionaries. When a vanity is posted here, no doorbell goes off on your computer that coerced or provoked you to respond.

Yet that's not true with door-to-door religious panhandlers like Mormon missionaries.

Tell us, if spiritual libertarianism is so big with you...
...why the open-arms toward over 52,000 proselytizing home-imposers doing that for over 600 days each
...-- with 26,000 new ones replacing the outgoing ones each year
-- but if a FEW of us raise concerns on a thread over Mormonisms, it seems to bother you a bit?

Can you explain this contrast?
