More Good Foundation's term of "Anti-Mormon"

Post by _Infymus »

From Allen Wyatt's latest piece of garbage:

http://www.whymormonism.org/anti_mormon.html

The term anti-Mormon is used to describe a person or group actively opposing Mormonism. It does not refer to groups of people who don’t understand the Church, or disagree with or criticize it. An anti-Mormon represents a more extreme category. For anti-Mormons, the existence of the Mormon Church is something that cannot be tolerated, whether for religious reasons, or political and social ones. And ever since the Mormon Church was established in 1830, there have been anti-Mormons. It is more than disagreement, misunderstanding or criticism. Anti-Mormons generally feel that the existence of the Mormon Church is detrimental to themselves or others based on religious, political, or social reasons. Since the establishment of the Mormon Church, there have always been anti-Mormon sentiments and even groups.


Based on religious, political or social reasons??? Can't tolerate the existence? Farkin tripe...

People worried that Mormons would take over the state. In 1838, the governor of Missouri signed the Extermination Order, which expelled the Mormons from the state. Joseph Smith was put in jail and mob violence peaked against the Mormons until they finished fleeing to Illinois. But, in Illinois, in 1844, Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were murdered by a mob.


More absolute lies. Why doesn't brother Wyatt tell them WHY Joseph was put in jail? How about that Joseph had a six shooter smuggled in? How about that Joseph ordered the destruction of the printing press? How about that the extermination order was created because of Joseph's megalomaniacal behavior, his school of the prophets and more? How about the whole reason for the jailing stemmed from Joseph's adulterous nature of marrying not only multiple wives, but wives of those who were already married?

Allen Wyatt, how about telling the truth?

Typical Mormons and typical Mormonism. Half truths, white washed history and outright lies.

I love how Allen states you can only find the truth about Mormonism from the LDS Church or the Missionaries. Perhaps the only way we can understand communist North Korea is to ask Fearless Leader Kim Yong-nam.

To borrow from Harmony, Allen, go piss up a rope.

God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Would those of you who have a problem with AW's definition of "anti-Mormon" please provide what you think is a reasonable definition?

Or, were you just looking to heckel?

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

Good point Wade. I haven't seen much disagreement in this thead about the definition. I would assume that all agree. What is unfortunate is that many of the antimormons on this forum fail to recognize their lack of tolerance.

I have been thinking about my old armchair that my exspouse has. It would be nice to be sitting in that arm chair again....

Thanks for the memories.... :=)

Grow some ba**s Why Me and take that chair back!

By the way, hope you don't mind if I use some of your insightful stuff for my signature.
I detest my loose style and my libertine sentiments. I thank God, who has removed from my eyes the veil...
