I’ve never said the LDS don’t sing Christian hymns and the reverence for Joseph Smith really is close to worship (the ‘nativity’ at BYU, “Praise to the Man”, the “Praise to the Man” missionary farewell card, etc).
The Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, etc. don’t have similar songs or devotions or things to their founders.
The closest would be the Catholic veneration of Saints and even then I don’t recall hymns to/about them.
I'm am sorry if my post suggested that. That was not my intention. I was just pointing out universal examples of recent mis-truths, but was not trying to suggest that you were the author of examples presented.
For the record, I am unaware of any examples where you said such a thing.

Alas, sigh. That bugs me too. The line between "revere" and "worship" gets straddled way too often. I suspect that many Catholics feel the same way about the treatment of Mary.
Oh, and sorry for not pinging you on that other post. As I said there, I do appreciate your sense of fairness in discussions. Like you said, there is more than enough to debate about with making things up. And I have often seen you correct others when something very wrong is stated. Thanks.
As for how I have been, things are nuts at work. We have laid-off to beyond sustainable levels, and those of us that are left all have three or four jobs to do. Fortunately, I was able to get one of those jobs reassigned back to the team that should have been doing it all along, so I have gone from 60+ hours every-other week to a steady 45-50 hours every week. I consider that significant progress.
And you?
