All as in ‘each one of them has something wrong’, not all as in ‘every bit of every one of them wrong’. But of course for people who want to be offended, or at least act offended as a rhetorical tactic, will take it whatever they serves their agenda best.

Why do you care (or pretend to care) so much about what Mormons think of your creeds? Why is our approval so important to you? It is strange.

I was almost going to take your dares. Then you said ... "Why is our approval so important to you? It is strange."

Woops. Never mind. Pot - Kettle - Black, my FRiend.

(Well, that's just rich.

Listen, I've appreciated Mormon zeal...and Grig's empassioned appeal I guess could be commended somehow (still trying to figure out where)...But what tends to happen with such zeal is a lack of objectivity...

So I've put this Grig lopsidedness into chart format to note the sheer hypocrisy exercised here by Grig...(This shows Mormon elitism -- what is 'perfectly acceptable' for Lds, Inc & grassroots Mormons to do under $BILLIONS in budgetary expenditures -- becomes highly suspect when any loose-knit Evangelical group engages Mormonism)

Grig Spewing Away @ Evangelicals

Grig's Latest Question Reveals Lopsided Approach to Dealing w/Those of Other Faiths + (Grig's own Q turned back on him)

Grig's Vanity accusatory rant: "Not only did the anti-Mormon posters oblige us and demonstrate the level of hate and bigotry in their hearts, but so did the anti-Momons within the leadership of FR. And thus began the decent of FR from a vibrant ad-hoc conservative think tank into an echo chamber of yes men with a loud group of religious bigots leading the way." "Why do you care (or pretend to care) so much about what Mormons think of your creeds? Why is our approval so important to you? It is strange." (Grig, Post #196) Tell us, Grig, why isn't it a fair turnabout question then to ask: Why do you care (or pretend to care) about what the 'leadership of FR' does? What do you care (or pretend to care) about what a handful of FR posters post about Mormonism? Why are Mormon assumptions about Christian creeds supposedly unassailable, yet you can assail FR leadership as well as Evangelicals (as would-be assassins, 'haters' and 'bigots?')
"There has been some very inflammatory rhetoric from some corners of the evangelical world about having a Mormon POTUS..." (Grig, Post #105) "Why do you care (or pretend to care) so much about what Mormons think of your creeds? Why is our approval so important to you? It is strange." (Grig, Post #196) Tell us, Grig, why isn't it a fair turnabout question then to ask: Why do you care (or pretend to care) about what 'rhetoric' that 'some corners of the evangelical world' have about a Mormon POTUS? What do you care (or pretend to care) about what a handful of FR posters -- or other Evangelicals in distinct venues -- say about Mormonism? Why are Mormon assumptions about Christian creeds supposedly unassailable, yet you can assail "the Evangelical world" (as would-be assassins and 'inflammatory') Why do you apparently deem it NOT as 'inflammatory' for Mormons to label 100% of Christian creeds as an abomination?
"The intense level of vitriol spewed by some Evangelicals toward Mormonism..." (Grig, Post #165) "Why do you care (or pretend to care) so much about what Mormons think of your creeds? Why is our approval so important to you? It is strange." (Grig, Post #196) Tell us, Grig, why isn't it a fair turnabout question then to ask: Why do you care (or pretend to care) about how intense Evangelicals comment about Mormonism? Why are Mormon assumptions about Christian creeds supposedly unassailable, yet you can assail Evangelicals (as would-be assassins and 'vitriolic'?) Why do you apparently deem it NOT as 'vitriolic' for Mormons to label 100% of Christian creeds as an abomination?

There ya have it: Grig's open dual standards -- for the world to see...
