Believe it or not, I wrote my previous post before reading this.

The condescension that abounds from such posts is enough to make a healthy person puke. Just an observation. You're welcome.

Am I alone in sensing a threatening tone in this post?Probably... Apparently...

Oh joy! I certainly hope you're right. I'm pretty sure the missionaries who taught me mumbled a heckuva lot!

So, basically you're anti-everything not Mormon, right?

Great!!! You're telling me that I don't gotta do nuttun to have "faith"? No prayun', no studyun', no nuttun, right? Faith just sorta happens--is that what I'm a-hearun' from ya? Great!!! I'm saved then and it doesn't really matter if I'm anti-mo, mo, or anti-anti-mo. Great!!! Think I'll go shoot myself now, or maybe I'll just "hatchet" myself to death.

Golly, thanks!

Is there a more apt method of defining a person than by their actions? That's a very good point. But what is the ultimate definition of a Christian? It's not someone who act's Christ like. They should act Christ like because they are a Christian. Am I not allowed to act "Christ like" if I'm not a Christian?

Is there a more apt method of defining a person than by their actions?

Are Anti-mormons Christian? That would be impossible, right? Makes me wonder though: Are Anti-anti-mormons Christian?

this post is edited to remove the reference to "serapha's" post. ~Rodney~

Answer is "YES" to all of the above, making question #3 non-applicable.

Suggestion to PorterR: Try using "The Bull in the China Closet" metaphor next time. It has already been endorsed by an LDSTalk Forums authority.

I seriously doubt it. And I also think DisRuptive1 makes a highly logical observation--nothing "bosy" about it at all.

Could be?

Whaddy-ya mean ya'dunno? What don't you know? That Peace is a zealous ruler or that she's humor-challenged? I was just sort of stating that those bound to enforce rules might not find much enjoyment reading the funny papers. Seems Peace might (and I repeat, might) have missed Helen's humor.

People who use the names of people from early LDS history as their screen names are really stupid. No name calling please... Especially if it's used in a self-deprecatory attempt at humor. Seems one of the many costs to a zealous ruler is the loss of comedic appreciation.

Gosh and golly, that thar is some purdy hilarious word play--mighty jimminy flipping cricket injeaneeus!!

Yo PR, you and Paul O. would make one heckuva fearsome duo. Kinda like a modern day Mormon Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Beat up any spray paint sniffing kids on 2nd South lately.

Funny, I thought that's what "dammed" meant. Always thought "damned" meant cursed or condemned to a punishment or fate. So you're saying that when someone (like Charlton Heston) says, "Damn you, damn you all to hell," he's sorta like talking Hoover Dam you, Hoover Dam you all to hell?

Stop a moment and think about what you've written here. Do you know what the differing degrees of black and white are? How many shades of gray do you suppose there are?

No. I was responding to your comments about clicking on porn sites. Sometimes you can click on a site as benign as guitar tabs and still suddenly be confronted with explicit porn pictures. Yes, I realized what you were responding to and agree completely with your comments. I was trying to clarify the question I posed a few posts prior.

Scriptures regarding excrement. Now, who could mistake that for "Good News" or Shin-o-la?

Spoken like someone who knows or has been there, seen that, done that...

Well, sometimes there is no choice. For some reason, sometimes the internet throws things at you in spite of your good intentions and good parental controls. Just an example: I have a program that sends me an email with all of the websites my children have visited. I sort of do spot checks. One website was approved for teenage use, and the content was okay (guitar tabs), but there was a pop up advertisement (no pun intended...) with a picture of an explicit sexual act on it. I was so mad! In the past, people had to make a conscious decison to view pornography and seek it out. Now, it just pops up when we are least expecting it and in unlikely places. I guess we could just blame the computer and ban access to it, but that's not really practical either because a certain amount of homework is routinely done on scholastic internet sites. You mean we have no choice in the matter, i.e., to become addicted to pornography?
