I hate bigotry.

And yet you follow racists like Brigham Young.

I hate lies in the name of bigotry.

But you love lies in the name of Mormonism.

For example:

We could be as wrong as wrong can be in all our religious beliefs, and we'd still be better than YOU, because we don't justify persecution including murder and mayhem because of religious differences.

Quote me justifying persecution.

You can't. You can quote me saying Moses and the other prophets would have gladly stoned joe Smith to death, and that's objectively true. But we're under grace (or I am, anyway), not the law.

You can also quote me saying some extremely harsh things about Mormonism: it's a fraud, it's blasphemous, it's a heresy, it inverts Jesus and Satan, it's racist, and so on. All of them true, none of them calls for persecution. If harsh words are calls for persecution, what should we make of you?

But you cannot quote me calling for persecution. You can be be blasphemous as all get-out, and as long as you refrain from attacking others' persons or property (which the early Mormons notably failed to do), you should be left with no more disturbance than others pointing out your blasphemy and the eternal consequences thereof. You can worship Baphomet if you want, and I won't come looking for you.

Or, to put it simply, you're a liar.

That's where you people are the scum of the earth. Were the Savior teaching today, you'd be standing there with a sign warning people away.

He is teaching today, through Scriptures, and instead of simply directing others away, you add other, false teachings to keep people from following the real teaching of my Lord. Somewhat more subtle, but it has the same effect and the same source.

But what's more, if you could get 'round the law you'd see Him crucified again, and you'd stand there shouting for Barrabas as loudly as your voice could carry.

There, but for the grace of God, would go I.

But I have the grace of God.

That's who you are; it's who the likes of you have always been. If you don't like the fact that I'm exposing your ghastliness for all to see, well, that's just too bad.

You're not exposing anything except the fact that you've got nothing but ad hominems. Mormonism is intellectually, morally, and spiritually bankrupt. It always has been.

Joseph was told that the Gentiles would be suffered to harm the Saints just so many times. Your time is up.

Is that a threat?

STUFF THE ANTI-"MORMON" BIGOTS OUGHT TO BE WORRYING ABOUT INSTEAD.

By your silence, you support all this stuff. Don't you?

Sure. And Saudi Arabia is devoid of oil. And the Himalayas have a deficit of snow. And there's nothing DRYER than an oyster.
