Fortunately, the anti-Mormon/ism is only one facet of this great website and is perpetuated by only a handful of posters...there’s another handful of Anti-Catholics as well...Christianity is a very splintered religion...there’s a natural “my god is better than yours” rivalry amongst them...magritte

Boy, that's funny. That line is used by another just-so-happens to be an ex-Christian, ex-Catholic schoolkid/altar boy who's grabbed on to Judaism as a "righteous gentile" -- just like you...

Hmmm...you're not related to Invincibly Ignorant, are you?

IOW, if we were to review your posts since Dec. '07, we wouldn't find exact phrases and life scenarios, would we? And if we did, why, I'm sure you and II must have had all kinds of post exchanges given all your shared religious similarities through the years!

And why do you always sign off "Magritte" on your posts?..is that a reminder to you under which name you're posting...whereas II has tended to sign off with a symbol instead?

And, boy, you & II are each similarly drawn to all these Lds threads...my, how coincidental.

Tom Lehrer wrote a wonderful song called “National Brotherhood Week,” about a “celebration” which was invented by the liberal social engineers to we would all “Get Along.”

To give you an idea how well it works, on the first day of the first National Brotherhood Week ever, Malcolm X was shot.

"Oh, the white folks hate the black folks
And the black folks hate the white folks
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule

But during National Brotherhood Week
National Brotherhood Week
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark
Are dancing cheek to cheek
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise
As long as you don't let ‘em in your school

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks
And the rich folks hate the poor folks
All of my folks hate all of your folks
It's American as apple pie

But during National Brotherhood Week
National Brotherhood Week
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans
‘Cause it's very chic
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand
You can tolerate him if you try

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics
And the Catholics hate the Protestants
And the Hindus hate the Muslims
And everybody hates the Jews

But during National Brotherhood Week
National Brotherhood Week
It's National Everyone-Smile-At-
One-Another-hood Week
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you
It's only for a week, so have no fear
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!"

Well they can't all be right...that would lie in the face of scripture.....

Truth needs to be revealed just as God said it should..as well as falsehoods. The religious threads are a great place to debate these and many here take on the hard and difficult stuff to arrive at truth.....it isn't anti-anything...it's truth and the revelation of that. Some just hide behind the anti lingo when their back is up against the wall...most just continue to debate and the volume does get heavy...... As for the passion behind the statements....the gospels are full of the passion of Peter, Paul, Like and others...I would expect the same here.
