Why are you LDS / Mormon?

[Cerebrum123]

I am skeptical. The rhetoric you use is very facile. It is what one might expect from an anti-Semite who is describing Judaism.

Jeff, why don't you take at the new thread I started about Brigham Young? It has some interesting results when you take LDS "scriptures" and former LDS "prophets" teachings and compare them.

Ok

[Cow Poke]

Here is a challenge for you, CP: How many quotes can you find where I have characterized your faith, or Cerebrum's faith, in terms such as "It is basically works based, emotion driven, and fideism(blind faith) mixed in with pagan and polytheistic notions."

We're not Mormons.

probably none, Jeff, because it isn't.

The LDS church on the other hand...

Q: " Why do people say that Sparko is a ____ ?" (fill in blank with whatever pejorative you have a fetish for)
A: "Because he IS a __________"


Not the most erudite reasoning one will come across.

Pick ME, Pick ME!!!!

Q: " Why do people say that Sparko is a bacon eater?"
A: "Because he IS a bacon eater!"

It WORKS, it WORKS!!!!

(but what's your fascination with fetishes? )

When one deals with people whose fetish is attacking the LDS people/church/leaders/doctrines, one can either become fascinated by the study of them, or disgusted by them. Or both I guess.

I only have problems with LDS doctrine, and maybe Joseph Smith as a leader(I believe the rest were either fooled by him, or were in on the scam, but I don't have any direct evidence that they were in on it, so i will give them the benefit of the doubt). I have a problem with LDS doctrine because it is false, and because it could effect something EXTREMELY important, and that would be the soul of the individual who is following this false doctrine.

Please demonstrate how my belief that Mormonism is a false religion, and my exercising my right to say so, can in any way be defined as a "fetish".

Drama, Jeff... you just can't help yourself.

Quit trying to equivocate. It's not your belief that is the issue, and you should be smart enough to realize that. People can BELIEVE something--such as that LDS doctrines are incorrect--without becoming obsessed with the ACTIVITY of publicly denouncing the target of their antipathy every day of their lives.

fetish

3. any object, activity, etc, to which one is excessively or irrationally devoted: to make a fetish of cleanliness

You seem obsessed with making that claim, almost as if it's a ____.....

Quit trying to equivocate.

Quit being such a drama queen.

It's none of your business how I spend my time, Jeff. If I choose to be on a CHRISTIAN website standing up to the MORMONS who are also FREE TO BE HERE, then what is that to you? Why do YOU spend so much time on a CHRISTIAN website, Jeff? Do you have a FETISH for anti-Christiandom?

Hey, speaking of fetishes... remember when you got all upset because you thought that "drama queen" was a homosexual reference? (That would have been "drag queen", which you were NOT being accused of being like. )

But you DO act like a drama queen from time to time, and this "fetish" nonsense seems to fit with that schtick.

[nrajeff]

Quit being such a drama queen.

Quit being such a deliberately-stupid, offensive, un-Christian jerk.

It's none of your business how I spend my time, Jeff.

If you were keeping your feelings about my faith TO YOURSELF, then you'd actually have a valid point. When you direct them through a virtual megaphone, on the Internet, then how you spend your time ceases to be just your business.

If I choose to be on a CHRISTIAN website standing up to the MORMONS who are also FREE TO BE HERE, then what is that to you?

Isn't the answer to that question obvious? What it is to me, is a matter of concern, to the extent that what you say about my faith is wrong, false, fallacious, or bias- and antipathy-driven.

Why do YOU spend so much time on a CHRISTIAN website, Jeff?

Whether this forum is Christian is debatable. To paraphrase Fosdick, if Jesus were to lurk and see what goes on here in the alleged name of Jesus Christ, He'd disavow having any connection to it.

Do you have a FETISH for anti-Christiandom? [sic]

No--just for rabid anti-LDSism. Which is why you don't see me attacking regular Christians in REAL Christian forums.
The vast majority of Christendom doesn't act as un-Christian as your little blanket party does.
Only the RABID dogs need to be put down.

Hey, speaking of fetishes... remember when you got all upset because you thought that "drama queen" was a homosexual reference?

No. Just the "queen" part. But it's not the first time you have "misremembered" something.

(That would have been "drag queen", which you were NOT being accused of being like. )

I never got the two confused. Maybe your alleged PTSD is causing some memory issues.

But you DO act like a drama queen from time to time, and this "fetish" nonsense seems to fit with that schtick.

“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.” - Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals.

You and your "posse" have learned well from your master.

Deliberately stupid? How do you get THAT from my KEEN observation that you're being a drama queen?

If you were keeping your feelings about my faith TO YOURSELF, then you'd actually have a valid point. When you direct them through a virtual megaphone, on the Internet, then how you spend your time ceases to be just your business.

YOUR pretend prophet called MY religion apostate, Jeff. So, when you come on a CHRISTIAN website, don't be surprised when you get pushback.

Isn't the answer to that question obvious? What it is to me, is a matter of concern, to the extent that what you say about my faith is wrong, false, fallacious, or bias- and antipathy-driven.

No, you're more concerned about being called a drama queen. SHOW me what I have said about your faith that is wrong, false, or fallacious. As for bias-driven --- I believe your prophet is a liar and a phoney, and your Book of Mormon is a work of fiction. So, I suppose from that "bias" you might have a point on that matter. Antipathy-driven? Did you just need to work in an "anti"?

Whether this forum is Christian is debatable. To paraphrase Fosdick, if Jesus were to lurk and see what goes on here in the alleged name of Jesus Christ, He'd disavow having any connection to it.

But I SERIOUSLY doubt he'd say "everybody should be more like NRAJeff".

No--just for rabid anti-LDSism. Which is why you don't see me attacking regular Christians in REAL Christian forums.

More Drama!

No. Just the "queen" part. But it's not the first time you have "misremembered" something.

So you REALLY BELIEVED that "drama queen" referred to homosexuality because of the "queen" part? You really need to get out more.

I never got the two confused. Maybe your alleged PTSD is causing some memory issues.

Yeah, RIIIIIIIIGGGHT, Jeff fa fa fa fa fa fa fa.
