It would seem that your reading comprehension is on par with your fact checking skills....

1) There were not even close to "millions" of people killed in the inquisitions....

2) Justifying the atrocities committed by Mormons by saying "they are worse" has got to be one of the silliest rationalizations i have ever seen considering I can name dozens of religions that have been responsible for fewer "evils" than the LDS church. Are they "truer" than the LDS church?

3) The pseudo-deity that you worship, according to your scriptures, has been directly responsible for thousands upon thousands of deaths but that doesn't seem to phase you. I guess murder is ok as long as it jives with your chosen mythologies...

4) You don't seem to have a particularly strong grasp of the issues facing Mormonism and, outside of your very correlated mormon-instilled responses, you don't seem to have much to contribute other than flaunting your ignorance...Just the fact that you believe debunked, modern-day fish stories AND believe that millions of people were killed in the inquisitions is enough to make anyone not take you seriously...at all...

He believes Noah's flood was global so we have God murdering millions of people who would never have known Noah, and were just living their lives.

What's your view on God's murdering of the entire planet, including women and children and babies and unborn babies, except for eight people?

Ya lets justify God murdering millions of people because they will be taken care of in the next life. Then it's not like the event happened anyways, and you have ignored him challenging you on millions being killed in the inquisitions.

Perhaps, not to someone who is as spiritually blind as you! In the case of Sodom for example, it means that God didn't want such a large number of rapists and sodomites corrupting the children anymore. They were all so wicked and evil, that the Lord knew it was best that they would be taken to the spirit prison where, hopefully, they could eventually be taught to overcome those evil tendencies! However, to the blind secular mind, all they can see is that those poor people were destroyed. Oh, what a shame!!!

I thought we were talking about the flood where millions of people all over the world were suppose to murdered by God. I doubt most of them were really evil, but then when we check the facts we see that none of these people actually died. Not the animals or plants.

Ah, so you don't believe in free agency and choose to worship a mass murdering pseudo-deity...Funny how your god only stepped in to save children in story books but for some reason ignores the corruption of children going on the world today. Sounds like he is not only an agency denying murder but an arseh$%$ to boot. Good luck with that...
