When did such a belief become requisite for being moral?

Tobin, I think you are confused.

I think you will find the majority of murderers, liars, and adulterers in the western world profess belief in Christ. It has little impact it seems.

I'm not interested in your reading and comprehension problems SteelHead. That is not what I said.

I'm just playing around with you. As I said, I don't take anything you have to say as a serious criticism of Mormonism at all.

Pointing out the weaknesses and failings of the messenger has nothing to do with the message. If the message is truly from God, we should accept it.


“It is not only your misuse of scripture that I find offensive. It is your misrepresentatations, misunderstanding, and misconceptions of Mormonism that I find offensive. You statements and attitude is anything but how an honest broker would behave.


Definitely confused, to put it mildly.

Wow, your mad skills at copying and pasting out of context statements is amazing. But, as we've already seen you do that many times before to attack others, I'm unsurprised you would do the same thing to me. You really have no shame nor credibility what-so-ever.

I'm the one with comprehension problems? You better reread what you wrote.

I hope you continue in doing that. People like you concern me because you never know what they may decide to do if this life is it and don't have to worry about the eternal consequences. I'm glad you have some kind of moral center, despite what you believe. .


I read this as I being different from the other godless as their lacking a moral compass will have them randomly shooting their neighbors because they lack the fear of eternal damnation.

It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

I know what I said. When you want to address that instead of what you misrepresented that I said, please let me know.

Your lack of coherency is equally amazing, as is your apparent memory lapses. Don't you even remember what you say? It's ok for your "prophets" to be fallible but no one else, and in your self-righteous world, I guess that's par for the course.

Ah, this must be your new game. If you can't convert the Mormon, you attack the Mormon. And of course I believe you are fallible. You are nothing but fallible.

Who is we? Are you royalty now? And please enlighten the board with any examples of out of context statements. I'd love to see them.

If you can't convert the Mormon, you attack the Mormon


Why would I want to convert you? And speaking of attacks, just read your own diatribes.
