Oh, don't misunderstand me. I was merely disagreeing with the sense of your post: that a thread has to fit your view of a respectful religious debate (where everyone tip toes around things and gets together in the end giving hugs and kisses). This thread offers Mormons a chance to defend their absurd teachings. That might not be your kind of a thread, but it's still perfectly acceptable.
Well, with over 150 posts, there has certainly been debate, and most of it has been about religion.
As you say, GPH, "a thread has to fit workerbee's view of a respectful religious debate" and I have to ask WB, what about the 80,000 mormon missionaries that go around the world and proclaim to Christians that "their faith is bogus and the only way to salvation is through arcane rituals in a mormon temple". Does THAT happen to be approved religious debate?
