Just to be clear....there will be no attacks by Danite suicide bombers that night.

It's perfectly safe. :)

The Danites have been pussies since they x-ed Wild Bill.

We're just waiting for the ideal moment. Them the rivers will run red with the food coloring of the wicked and the streets will be piled high with the corpses of Sunstone publications and the screams of the apostates will cry high to the heavens when we TP all their houses. One day..........

An "expert on cults"? Sounds like the conference appeals mainly to the Evangelical brand of anti-Mormon. Which raises the question: Can secular apostates from Mormonism co-exist peacefully with sectarian apostates from Mormonism? Sort of a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of thing?

Huh? I guess I would be considered a "secular apostate from Mormonism" and I get along fine with all types of people, Mormons included. What a dumb question.

LOL! Exactly. No, all kidding aside, I don't see people whose beliefs differ from mine as enemies (even those who subscribe to ID). I can get along with just about anyone. It's the clash of ideas that I find interesting. Message boards tend to make us look a lot more polarized than we really are. by the way, there was a Scott Lloyd in my mission (95-97). Are you he?

No. He could have been my son. Except that my eldest is only 11.
