I didn't know that you regarded child rape as comparative to "swallow[ing] a camel while straining at a gnat."

Surely this is of greater import than mere gnat-straining? Please tell me you didn't just reduce the violence done to this child to that?

Your strawman's on fire, Colofornian.

You cherry-pick the scumbag out of the 60,000 missionaries to smear the lot with your unrelenting bile and unreasoning hate.

I have never been idiot enough to claim all Mormons are sinless, or perfect, or any such nonsense. There are certainly bad actors in the Mormon church.

I never met any, however, who pissed away as much time tearing down their neighbor as you do. My quote on the subject would refer to "...the beam in thine own eye".

I'm a neighbor; you tear me down...Preach to yourself your own message of this post.

I have never been idiot enough to claim all Mormons are sinless, or perfect, or any such nonsense.

So child rape is now simply -- in your euphemistic PR campaign -- a "sin" or lack of "perfect"[ion]???

Sick reductionism on your part.

You cherry-pick the scumbag out of the 60,000 missionaries...

Be my guest & find all those stories out there about non-Mormon Christian missionaries being arrested on rape charges. Since Lds are 1.7% of the population & Christians are almost 75%...if all ratios were equal, you should be able to find DOZENS of examples every 2-3 years!

You are aware that Colofornian did not write the article, it is a FOX NEWS article.

the beam in thine own eye

That theme and "God helps those that help themselves", may be the two most miss quoted and least understood of Biblical themes, and one of them isn't even in the Bible.
