Where Have All the FR Protestants Gone?

OBSERVATIONS:

[1] There seems to be a significantly reduced number of Protestant Threads (KJV Only being the exception for sure) in the FR Religion Forum.

[2] There seems to be a reduced number of FR Protestant posts in the Religion Forum.

This thread is a place to discuss these observations.

How is this question of yours relevant to anything being discussed?

[Corin Stormhands]

Well, apparently it's given you a new purpose in life.

[Poet Laureate]

Corin:

Aside from that, how is it relevant?

You asked an LDS how many founding fathers were LDS.

What is your point in asking this question?

[Corin Stormhands]

I don't owe you an explanation for my asking a question. Any question.

Had you gone your merry way, the question would've been buried by now.

Let it go. I didn't ask YOU anyway.

[Poet Laureate]

Fine. You don't want to answer my question.

I shall conclude you asked the question to point out that LDS is somehow less authentically American than your religion.

I could be wrong, but you refuse to shed any light on the real reason.

[Corin Stormhands]

I shall conclude you asked the question to point out that LDS is somehow less authentically American than your religion.

Well that conclusion makes about as much sense as anything else you've been spouting.

I don't judge my faith, or anyone else's faith based on how American it is.

Sheesh!

[Poet Laureate]

You asked the question for a reason.

I cannot think of any charitable or relevant reason that you would have asked such a question.

And you have not offered one (perhaps you don't have one - and your practice is to post random unrelated questions).

[Corin Stormhands]

I asked someone else the question. Not you.

Of course, now that I've read back through some of your other posts in the last few days I've remembered that your call in life is merely to be argumentative. Very little substance on your own part if I do say so myself.

Consider this my last response to you. You're wasting my time.

Joseph Smith went from essentially no more understanding than any 14 year old boy might have concerning the nature of God, to an understanding the transcended the greatest knowledge and understanding of any man who has ever lived.

More than even Jesus Christ? He was a man that lived, right?

...how they had rapidly changed over just a century or so.

Like say from.....the 1830's or so?

[Illbay]

Actually, since the end of the Civil War.

[ksen]

Oops, my bad.

[Poet Laureate]

Corin - you have no explanation as to why you asked your question.

The only plausible explanation - without your explanation - is that you asked the question to question the degree to which the LDS are as authentically American as your religion is.

This is small-minded, at best.

Sheesh, now are you not only bugging people to bug them, but now you are spamming them.

[Corin Stormhands]

Spammy and stoopid is no way to go through life son.

What is it with this guy? I can't find a coherent sentence to argue with...It makes no sense.

[Wrigley]

Maybe e.e. cummings is an influence.

[P-Marlowe]

What is it with this guy? I can't find a coherent sentence to argue with...It makes no sense.

I had the same problem on another thread. He just won't accept anything for an answer except total agreement with what he thinks. I tried to pretend to agree with him and he still argued with me and called me names and insulted me at every turn.

Rather than get upset, I have chosen just to ignore him completely. I suggest that everyone do that for a while and he will slink away. He is only here to garner attention for himself.

He thinks he's a poet but his poetry consists of lousy limricks, which are NOT poetry. They are supposed to be humor. But his limericks aren't even funny.

[Salvation]

BTTT! Where did they put this?

[Poet Laureate]

Hey - you figured it out!

I would never waste a true poem on you.

Any man who belittles others who post a question or a point - instead of addressing the substance of their posts - is worthy only of low-rent limericks.

You are so cheap.
