“My reference to the LDS church, made during an impromptu conversation, was an admittedly very imprecise reference to the violence that accompanied the Mormon’s early history in the 1800s– violence that was prompted by the persecution of the Mormons themselves by both the federal government and others. Absolutely no offense was intended, and I regret any that has resulted.

Yeah; them poor, ol' Mormons never did nuthin' to nobody to cause them to get 'persecuted' all the time.

Guess what: I INTEND to offend MORMONS!!!

Enough to get them to do their OWN research to find out about the things that their chosen religion thinks are NOT 'faith building' for them to know.

“Man Was Also in the Beginning with God”

D&C 93

Joseph Smith learned that men and women were co-eternal with God and could become like Him. Speaking with revealed assurance, he taught: “The soul, the mind of man, whare did it come from? The learned says God made it in the beginning, but it is not so. I know better. God has told me so.”
