“No one is offended by Mormons.”

Oh, my Goodness, I wish that were true.

Don't confuse disagreement with being offended. Maybe you are offended that some think Mormonism is a cult. Would you rather they lie? Don't you want Mormons to have the right to stand up for what they believe against people who disagree?

Two things are offensive. First, the pressure to disregard core beliefs in exchange for some kind of emotional unity as though we merely think each other into heaven or hell. Second, the shifty dishonesty of some who are merely trying to tear down true belief, hiding behind a phony faith that changes form about every other minute (the Emergents).

fyi, I guess weasily isn’t a word. I mean they are weasels. But hey, why not make up a word about them and just define it myself (sly, dishonest, sneaky, deceptive, misleading, shifty..). They make up words all the time. When they don’t do that they just take existing words and redefine them. I hate that deceptive practice.
