Well, the Lord WILL sort it out eventually (and fwiw I think we probably are all wrong about some thing or other).
But, if one puts their position on a forum, they should expect debate, whether they want it or not. I don’t really like debating religion myself, so I rarely stake out an opinion (I don’t think this is the place to spread the Gospel, not because I think it’s inherently wrong, only that I don’t think I do a good job of it).

Why? Because that’s what you think?

I think differently. I think that when someone posts something about a religion, be it how the gays are targeting LDS or how the Pope is wearing red shoes today, that poster should not have to defend his/her beliefs. It’s not an invition to debate. It shouldn’t be. It’s not about Dogma. Nor is it meant to be.

I can’t imagine anywhere on FR, one of the Jewish FReepers posting about the events in Israel and having to defend why Jesus is not his/her savior. It isn’t done nor should it be. The LDS and Catholics should be afforded the same luxury.
