Among many other noteworthy sentences, two of them particularly stand out:

All should lead by contagion and help one another to lead the good life.


"Lead by contagion?" WTF??

Young people can have fun while being considerate and loyal to the Church and making its standards an integral, happy part of their lives.


Not "considerate and loyal to the Savior." Not "considerate and loyal to God." Not "considerate and loyal to Christ." Oh no, "considerate and loyal to the Church" is what matters, apparently.
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

Apparently in 1965 a girl could wear two sets of earrings. She couldn't wear pants while shopping, but at least she had her own choice of the number of little holes poked in her earlobes.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

More witless, smarmy bovine bodily excretions from the little shop of horrors known as Mornomdiscussions.com. The award here goes to Slim Shady, whose tendentious twisting of the terminology used makes common intellectual dishonesty look positively saintly.

It will be interesting to observe this forum continue to degenerate, intellectually and morally, over the coming months and years, as the same ignorant, fatuous psychobabble and tendentious calumny (in lieu, as always, of serious, civil debate), continues unabated.

Coggins, you have a future as a Utah political speech writer. You could make our otherwise legislative rubes sound just like Spiro Agnew.

There is no way you, or anyone else here, can save this thread or its contents from its well deserved consignment to the intellectual vacuum from whence it came. And don't bother engaging me in any discussion in which politics enters the picture Mok. trust me, that's a dead end.

Cogs, I agree with Moksha. You belong here.

When you're able to actually state your case in the form of clear propositions, create cogent extended arguments, and not stall endlessly for time by hiding behind intricate semantic defilade, I'll respond to your posts. You should also make some attempt at educating yourself on the subjects upon which you opine. Our AGW threads indicated to me that this is a low priority for you at best.

Well Cogs, I've done that since I came here, but you didn't like it. I note you backed out of your environmentalism/paganism thread. What's the issue there? Did you suddenly realise you were completely unfamiliar with the centuries long Jewish and Christian environmentalism derived from the Bible, including sentiments in the Old Testament which you had unfortunately associated with neo-paganism?

You should also make some attempt at educating yourself on the subjects upon which you opine. Our AGW threads indicated to me that this is a low priority for you at best.


That's an irony, given you were unable to answer a single simple question I repeatedly asked you when we discussed that subject, and devoted yourself to copy/pasting articles which (as a number of posters demonstrated), either failed to support your claims or else (in some cases), contradicted them directly.

Want to try again? The threads are still there.
