Wade, when women reject you are they wade bigots?

This board exists primarily to mock Mormons principally and the religious faith of Christians secondarily.
Would you feel good about participating anonymously on a board to mock the Jews in your town -- their personalities, their professions, their practices?
Would you feel good about anonymously mocking the liturgy of the Methodist Episcopal Church?
God will not be mocked.
While there is some mocking going on there are also some serious discussions on substantive issues. Care to join in on any of those or do you just wish to snipe.
Additionally, pointing out valid deficeincies in some things about the organizational entity part of the LDS Church is not mocking God. There are actually some things in the LDS corporate body that have nothing to do with God and are in fact ungodly.

Not that you would understand, and not that this is relevant, and not that you have answered my question, but "no", they would not be Wade bigots--and this because I am obviously an individual, rather than a group, and bigotry has to do with groups, and individual membership in a given group.
Now, whether the rejection may reasonably be considered as some other form of bigotry, that depends on the nature of the rejection.
Thanks, -Wade Englund-

I don't complain. I mock the mockers, the ignorant cowardly folks who post anonymous drive-by hit pieces against faithful members of the Church, and justify themselves with the belief that the Internet exists to accomodate anonymous posts. Posters who are no better than hit-and-run drivers who self-justify their conduct.
You are cowards. You come here to self-congratulate yourselves for your superior wisdom in seeing the follow of Mormonism, yet you can't bring yourselves to identify yourselves.
Rant over. Carry on.

Oh boo hoo. Your RANT about cowardly attacks is wearisome and boring. Nobody is obliged to offer the actual identity in an open public forum such as this one. It is foolish to do so for various reasons. It is a dangerous world out there. Why put ones name out for all to see? And while many may know who you are you currently use an alias as well. Get over your fixation on this issue. For a bright fellow it is a dumb, dumb argument. Courage has nothing to do with it.

In your eyes, anything that does anything other than give you spiritual indigestion is an attack.
One can disagree with the church, most of us live in a free country.
I believe the general purpose of this board was to provide a place where people with minds they wanted to use could use them, outside the restrictions of FAIR.
I'll take this as a tacit admission that you don't have the integrity to admit what I asked?
Wade, my integrity is not based upon your opinion. And it's telling that when people don't bow down or bend over (whichever one you seem to prefer at the moment) for you, you go attacking their character.
We're making fun of the fools at FAIR. And it's hilarious. And they deserve it. As do you, my little McTherapist. That is what I shall call you from now on. Where do I deposit my quarters for your next bit of wisdom? And which end of you will it come out of?

HA!!! That's the second great catch tonight!!!
The first was from Moksha:
Wait a minute, aren't you the same Moksha who once suggested that Pahoran could be referred to as an ICBM, or Inter-Continental Ballistic Mormon? Didn't you further suggest that if he was turned loose on the Vatican, it would give new liturgical meaning to "Weapon of Mass Destruction"?
McTherapist and ICBM. I have a feeling these two nicks shall stick.
(by the way, do you watch Grey's Anatomy, perchance???? ;)
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.
Inter-Continental Ballistic Mormon, wow that is classic! I laughed tears on that one. I love Moksha, he's such a unique and wonderful person.
I've only seen a few episodes of Gray's Anatomy. I caught it because I was taping Ugly Betty that came on before it. I watched the Columbian version (much better!), and wanted to see how this one sized up. So so. I like the old Betty.
I will call Wade my little McTherapist from now on until he gets his bovine fecal matter together in a neat pile to be disposed of outside this forum.

Perhaps in your case it is not a lack of integrity, but an over abundance of stupidity. Appartently, you have insipidly confused my question about mocking the Church, with mocking of FAIR and me. Unfortunately, there isn't enough therapy to correct that level of mindlessness.
Your methods are lacking. Any good therapist would know that belittling one's clientele doesn't pay. Perhaps that is why your efforts have returned so little fruit here, and intellectually you are piss poor.
You asked if this site were mocking the church. I said no. Are you to tell me that you are illiterate as well as inane? Who's typing your posts for you? One of your nicer personalities?
