...if one wishes to say that the LDS religion has beliefs that are Joseph Smith's lies or even Satan's lies, that's perfectly reasonable, but that doesn't mean that LDS folks who believe them are lying or telling lies when they affirm their beliefs. Someone who affirms his religious beliefs has not lied or told lies by affirming his religious beliefs, whether he meets your standards of “journalism”

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All, beware of this mindset. Because if what sitetest says is applicable in this thread discussion, then it's likewise applicable to liberal MSM media moguls & journalists.

In fact, here...why don't you ponder adding below to your FReeper homepage (words in italics are yours; other words are parallel ones I've added as a "test" to see how it sounds to extend your belief system to a parallel universe called the "MSM"):

...if one wishes to say that the liberal MSM has beliefs, ideologies and worldviews that are Keith Olberman, NY Times & CNN types of lies or even Satan's lies, that's perfectly reasonable, but that doesn't mean that MSM folks who believe them are lying or telling lies when they affirm their beliefs. Someone who affirms his worldviews, Marxist, Socialist, or otherwise has not lied or told lies by affirming his ideologies, whether he meets your standards of “journalism”...

ALL: Sitetest has just committed himself to the notion that if liberal journalists have studied & believed Marxism and is committed to that ideology...that even if these Marxist journalists say they believe the Bible -- and have studied the Bible to compare Marxist and Biblical worldviews to see where they contradict...then even if these journalists spread the lies of Marxism...these journalists themselves are not guilty of telling Marxist lies...it might be deemed whacky, goofy, unintentionally false, but doesn't constitute lies coming from their own mouths or keyboards or pens.
