In those hundreds of threads and thousands of replies, many times I have posted irrefutable information from LDS leaders and official sources on mormon doctrine.

Since the admittedly minor point of whether mormons remove the word cross from some of their hymns was felt to be such a major point to post about, why don't you do some more research into these thousands of posts and find something doctrinally incorrect to discuss?

The mormon response to our threads and posts is primarily whining about the fact that we are free to post this information, instead of actually presenting point-by-point doctrinal information proving us wrong.

It appears that rather than "discussion" mormons prefer lecturing on closed threads. I guess having a million full-time missionaries over the years doing the heavy work has either made FR mormons lazy...or unequipped.

Alex Murphy...You've posted a total of 3,504 threads and 14,226 replies.

You'd better get to work on that thread count, gf!

I know how to find that info about myself but is it possible to find someone elses stats?

The question on the table was "Give an example of a "lie" they told."

The statement of yours that I pointed out was "mentions of the Cross are deleted from the mormon versions [of hymns]."

Since that statement is not true, as shown further down-thread, it was being presented as an example.

So we have only a few remaining options. Either you were misinformed (or assumed incorrectly) or you were knowingly lying. Deeper in that thread you stated "Well, I'll be...thanks for correcting me. I didn't have time to go through ALL the hymns, and am glad to see that you haven't done away with the Cross in some." So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - you were misinformed. So while you may not have been intentionally lying, it certainly was an un-truth.

As for responding to other more meaningful doctrine, I (and others) have tried in the past. In the end any attempt at civil discourse falls apart into spamfests or subject changing (alas, often from both sides).

My schedule prevents me from stepping into these threads much anymore, but when I see something blatantly incorrectly on such a base level, I will attempt to correct for it. While we may never agree on the nature of God, a suggestion that Mormons refuse to sing about the cross implies something much more evil than nuances on salvation.
