Joey Smith lived TWO HUNDRED YEARS ago...
Joey deliberately offended Christians throughout his adult life...
To the point of blaspheming the Jesus of the Bible...
and God the Father and the Virgin Mary...
Joey doesnt get a pass...
Exactly, so taunting him accomplishes absolutely nothing with respect to him. However, it is in appropriate to intentionally insult Mormons simply because you don't agree with their beliefs. As a Catholic I would much rather (and do) have observant Mormons as neighbors than the out of control drunken and brawling Baptists and abortion supporting RINOs that share my street. I'm sure you would too.
Besides, if you truly believe it is your calling as a Christian to change the hearts of non-believers you would be better served with a civil dialog than with a stick.
