I’d call it being right. That’s what bigots do.
Eastforker’s point was proven by the contents of this thread quite possibly better than any other point ever proven in the entire recorded history of points proven.
Americans are free to believe as they choose. A person’s relationship with the Lord is theirs, and if they have no relationship, then that is also theirs, and it is no one else’s business but theirs.
No one is going to come to Christ via the brow beating that is visible here, if anything, the exact opposite will occur.
ROFLOL!!....WOW...what a statement!! You and EF need to get a room.

Nobody here on this tread...that I've read is trying to win someone to Christ.
I generally see...people here warning others about false religions. ie: mormonism.
I figure that's your rub....though, and you call it, bigotry.

Wrong. That is how I got out of that damned cult and how many others have, including at least 3 freepers in the last 4 years alone.
And where in the Constitution does it say that someone can’t speak out against a religion?
Freedom of Religion goes both ways. There is nothing about being unmolested for your religious views. If you believe in a false Christ (like the one of Mormonism) the expect to be called on it.
Sorry to disappoint you; but folks already have.

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SECTION 132
51–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.
51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.
52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.
53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.
55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of beternal lives in the eternal worlds.

“Eastforker’s point was proven by the contents of this thread quite possibly better than any other point ever proven in the entire recorded history of points proven.”
Wow. Were you trying to top Joe Biden for the most ridiculous hyperbole of the year, or did you do it by accident?
All joking aside, yes Americans are free to believe whatever they want. However, that doesn’t mean that they are free from other Americans voicing their own opinion about it, and it doesn’t mean their beliefs will be free from examination or criticism. It’s a free country, but you have to be willing to take everything that comes with it. Calling people bigots in order to get them to stop saying things you don’t want to hear is not going to work. It doesn’t work when liberals do it to conservatives, and I don’t believe it will work when one group of FReepers does it to another.
