It's too bad for you that you don't have a better explaination for your belief, and evidently you don’t like being treated the way all of you, Mormons, on this forum have treated me.(Actually I've treated you-all better than you've treated me.)
I’ve said nothing vulgar, I’ve simply challenged your belief. Your religion says it welcomes that. If your religion really does, then why do you take offense at all.
Now you’ve accused me of being “corrupt, mean spirited, and spiteful.”
You should be ashamed! Go and repent, and “count your blessings” that I pointed it out and gave you the chance to redeem yourself.
Then, may you see things with more (true) clarity.
“I’ve said nothing vulgar, I’ve simply challenged your belief.”
No, you didn’t say anything vulgar, and I appreciate that. I never accused you of such.
Your goal, as evidenced by your bait-and-switch tactics, is not to challenge beliefs. That would require a dialogue. That would require that you actually listen to the answers. This most recent exchange between you and me has demonstrated exactly how you do not.
There is only one explanation remaining, as far as I can see: you are living for the argument. Because I’m only trying to share with those who ask, I see no reason to engage you. You’re not listening; I’m better advised to speak with someone who does.
“Now you’ve accused me of being “corrupt, mean spirited, and spiteful.””
I did not. Read the post again. You have - once again - personalized general statements. It’s no wonder, then, that you have found our every response to be a personal assault. I accused you of having corrupt and misplaced goals; I accused your actions of being mean-spirited and spiteful. I questioned your means; I did not attack you.
That you have chosen to abrogate those personality traits to yourself is your decision, and not mine.
“Go and repent...”
I do, quite frequently. But I stand by every word I have uttered in this exchange. Truth-telling is not a transgression.
Until you demonstrate an open mind and an intellectual curiosity, rather than a desire to simply win the argument, I will not engage you again.
Best regards.
