". . .Q. Because aren't you showing religious intolerance toward critics of Mormons? On what grounds is your "intolerance" so "allowable" and therefore comes as across as "elitist," whereas anyone else's perceived religious "intolerance" is called into question

Is questioning intolerance - intolerance? Is showing a bigots own bigotry - bigotry?

If you feel I am an "elitist", I say you have the right to your own opinion - it does not affect mine. Your reaction tells me all I need to know.

By all means, vote for Obama and be done with the Mormon! (I tried to copy ansell2, but he/she does not register on auto-preview)

KC + ALL: This is purely classic in response...Apparently this poster, realizing that they don't want to self-accuse -- be guilty of the same thing they are labeling others for -- tries to do a "rewind" and soften their earlier vocab.

The prob, is, KC, that your phrase from post #33 still stands...which btw, was a rhetorical Q...not a seeming genuine one:
"Don’t Catholics HATE the bigotry shown them by those who lack understanding?" [KittenClaws, post #33]

So...after climbing out on the limb and essentially encouraging Catholics (& others) that it's a-ok to "Hate" those "id'd" by the self-appointed "bigot patrol" (post #33)...
...it then becomes softened by KC as mere "questioning" and "showing"...in the last post...which, actually, in my opinion, is fair to do...

But what you'll find among the religious hypocrites on FR is that when they perceive religious intolerance
-- what they deem as "bigotry" --
--'tis a-OK to encourage Catholics -- and Mormons -- and others ...
...to "hate" those posters and what is posted.

Yet, when critics of Mormon "question" Mormonism...when they "show" how Lds have misjudged Christians and Christianity...that isn't deemed as "questioning" and "showing..."

Nope...that...to the religious hypocrites...is deemed, accusatory-style, as "hateful bigotry..."

This is the classic Questioning and showing for me and thine self-portrait but "hateful bigotry" for you and yours when painting others.

(Tell us again where you get a "religious license" to critique in a "questioning" and "showing" manner...that is "acceptable" to the self-appointed "bigot patrol")
