You will find people arguing “facts” that they cannot prove while claiming to possess spiritual superiority over the other religion. The bigots would be funny, if they didn’t come off as so mad.

(He mimed, claiming some sort of "spiritual superiority" over critics of Mormonism...Loud Mime's intolerance -- "bigotry" if you will -- of any and all critics of Mormonism...[keep in mind Billy Graham called Mormonism a "cult" on his Web site for YEARS before removing it recently]...would be funny if he wasn't so upset with people critiquing Mormonism)

I have consistently argued one matter. Before you claim other religions as false, you must prove yours as being true. That is the proper, logical way of addressing truth and untruth.

But, you refrain from using logic. Why?

Citing Billy Graham I consider to be an appeal to a false authority. His bankroll came from his own brand of religion, and he’s done well getting others to pay him for his philosophizing, just like those Mormons and any other religious group de jour. Sorry. I don’t recognize him (them) as an authority, just a professional speaker or philosopher. That’s what all of them do.

When “Intolerance” and “bigotry” are used in the same sentence, I know that the intellectual quiver is empty. The Clinton and Obama liberals pair those words all the time. They have nothing left to argue, so they resort to Ad hominem attacks. It always ends up this way, because, like me, you cannot prove your religion to be true. Our difference is that I understand the argument; you have not, so far. As Lancelot advised, hatred and pride unbalances a person. Shed then before combat.

I must ask where I claimed to “sort of” have a spiritual superiority? You brought it up; where did I write that? If I did make that claim, it was a horrible mistake. I may believe my ability to argue my philosophy is superior to some others, but not my spirituality.
