Sure you are.

No, I have not. As you perfectly well know, it is you and your fellow-haters who have "deftly crafted" that "image."

I'm sorry, but acceding, even silently, to the claim that you have any "pro-Mormon" intentions here would absolutely portray you in a "false light."

No, you did not. You attempted to embroil me in a fruitless argument about legalistic minutia in order to distract from the fact that the worthless Scratch's ongoing witch hunt is utterly indefensible.
Darth J wrote:Would it help if we talked about something besides your deranged witch hunt against Doctor Scratch
Wrong preposition. The only "deranged witch hunt" in view is being carried out
by the worthless Mister Scratch and his fawning acolytes.
Darth J wrote: and those you recklessly assume are conspiring with him, or your relentless insistence that criticizing your cherished beliefs is analogous to pogroms against the Jews? Maybe we could pick one of the beliefs/truth claims of the Church and you could provide a substantive apologetic defense for it, perhaps with only a few homophobic slurs. How about that? Like, say, how the Book of Mormon deals with the problem of evil? Would you permit me to help you that way, since you've rejected my previous magnanimous gestures?
"Magnanimous gestures?" That's funny.
So I take it you're not carrying through on your empty threat.
Why am I not surprised?

Pahoran
