Teppe...

First of all, as much as you like to "get personal" and make this thread about me -- it's not about me.

The first line of too many Mormon apologists is to get personal...and already with your post you've taken an accusatory stance of my level of Christian traits, being "vehemently anti-Christian", and serving as some exterminator!

(Kind of sounds like the Democrats labeling Repubs these days as terrorists holding bombs to the chests of the Dems and kidnappers holding Obama hostage...all extremist rhetoric)

If, Teppe, you continue to insist upon making such accusations, then please...please...please...be specific vs. generic/vague.

I've said it before to other posters: When you want to hold somebody "accountable" for something, the last thing in the world to do is to be vague/generic about what you object to.

For example, Teppe, were you to be a father who wanted to discipline your child, would you proceed to exact a discipline minus telling him or her what it's for?

How could a child learn to correct perceived misbehavior if nothing specific is ever cited?

understanding

So all I ask Teppe is please be civil with your accusations: Be specific. Cite something I've said -- in quotations.

You talk about some lack of "understanding" I have, but let's review one simple pattern that emerges in my posts -- vs. your pattern of posts:

When I discuss Mormonism, I constantly -- as in THOUSANDS of times -- respect Mormonism by quoting Mormons themselves! IoW, to some degree, I let them speak for themselves...and when I disagree with what they've said...and seek to hold them accountable for what they've said, I've still cited them. I've been SPECIFIC about what I object to.

Teppe, have you ever -- or done more than once or twice -- quoted me as to what you object to about me?

My experience with your responses is that they are usually hit & run...NOT of a dialogue nature...NOT quoting me at all...NOT relational at all.

So, please. From here on out: If you want to object to what I say -- quote me. Be specific. Avoid vagueness.

If you feel you need to "discipline" me -- or hold me accountable, I invite you to do so. But as in a court of law, just don't assume evidence that has yet to be introduced into the case.

I thank you ahead of time for such future consideration.

her

(How do you know I am not male? I mean, if you "write me off" as female -- which Mormons tend to treat as second class -- isn't it easier for you to simply write off anything I say? Why are you so presumptive?) give me just one "anti-Christian" example

Great response!

However it sounds like someone on this thread is running around like a Shiz with his head cut off.

;^)
