No vitriol THERE, eh, EO?
They're the ones who now claim with wide-eyed innocence that Romney's mormonism had nothing to do with losing votes to the preacher man and that well, gosh, we're all bigots.
And the mormon defenders claim with wide-eyed innocence that they are the "victims" and never "hacked away in condescending meanness" as YOUR post and the following post illustrate:
This is the same spirit that we see on the other side of the world, the Jihadists. We too have fundamentailst who think they must do God’s work by destroying the “enemy.” Ours too attack from the shadows and won’t identify themselves. That is, they know they are doing dirty work, so they won’t say what church or religion they represent. However, by the details of their posts, we know they are fundamentalist Evangelicals. They are like the "sons of thunder" who wanted to bring down fire onto a city, to whom Jesus said, "Ye know not what spirit ye are of."
Their activities on these threads accomplish two valuable things, however. They give Mormons and many others a chance to show their reasonableness compared to this antagonistic spirit. And second, it serves to demonstrate to us what we must never allow into the oval office, a narrow minded, intolerant, antagonistic, fundamentalist Evangelical.
If anyone believes this debate has been as one-sided as the mormon defenders claim, just go back and read some of the threads.
I suppose they are talking about us since we are some of the ex-cult members here at FR. And I also suppose that the poster is a current member.
I've been labled full of hate and bigotry, I've been called weak-willed, over-emotional, and a liar. I have repeatedly challenged anyone to link to a post of mine that is "hateful," but not one time ever, has anyone responded to my request. However, I can link to multiple personal attacks upon me. It is easy to shrug them off, I was once at a place where these people are, I understand.
Please someone link me to my posts where I attack another Freeper personally. Please, and I will rectify it.
Do those geezers include Joseph Smith and Brigham Young?
If so, is it wrong to cite them as authorities on the teachings of the Mormon Church? If not, what did they say that no longer applies and who speaks for the Mormon faith?
Also, can you please provide me with one or more examples where I have either misquoted those gentlemen or perhaps taken their statements out of context.
Without lowering myself further into condescending meanness, I would like to issue the appropriate corrections on this forum and publicly apologize for my mistakes.
Thanks.

The quotes were not mine. BTW what church do you represent?
“the all-knowing who quoted and misquoted geezers from over 150 years ago”
Especially that windbag old-geezer Joseph Smith. My favorite line “God will strike me dead if you don’t marry me”, said by Smith to take another gullible wife.
