This is embarrassing, as the original post was not well crafted nor carefully considered and is not ready for this sort of scrutiny, but then neither is pretty much anythign else I ever post, so here it is, typos and all (I am quoting it rather than linking it, for your viewing pleasure):

RIght, but they believe God created the universe out fo nothing. Not re-formed it, but made it our of nothing. So even if Satan was not a son of god, but was htis sort of third type of eternal being going around praising God who went abd, he was still made by God out of the nothing. IOW, still not that different than saying he was a son of god, becasue he was still a creation of God. AM I missing somehting here?

There is no meltdown going on. Simply disappointment that some people insist on being petty.

Right,,,and you're not being petty.

Here's a tip for you:

You'd get better responses if you weren't being such a condescending asshole when someone points out something they disagree with you on. Instead of acting like a baby and telling them they should feel ashamed and that their viewpoints are ridiculous and start throwing in YOUR petty insults like that, then you'd have a more constructive discussion.

When you act like a baby and pull that crap, you're just as responsible for the chance of a legitimate discussion falling apart.

I'm not being condescending. I'm simply insisting that people actually represent what I've written accurately.

I did not say Mormons are the only ones who misconstrue what others believe.

The temerity!

This is the first time I'm reading your post. I have an appointment right now, but I'll comment later.

You're right you didn't say that and I agree with you.

But you should feel ashamed for not saying so.

Did I say all Mormons misrepresent? No.

Your analogy between Mormons misrepresenting and Black's hanging out on the street corner is ridiculous.

It is the same broad brush. Why would a Mormon misrepresenting bug you any more than a Catholic who mis-represents? Or an atheist?

Similarly, why do people get bugged and threatened when blacks hang out on street, when everyone knows that Mexicans are equally prone to violent crime?....

Or teenage whitebreads hanging out in the mall trying to hook up.

It's only a matter of time before he takes his ball and go home.

Oh crap...now I'm ashamed.

Weird, but I think you are kind of right on this. Sometime last month, after I suggested he change his name to Shaking Hands in the Foyer, he get kind of upset and took off. I think I even referenced the "take your ball and go home" thing. Then one of the Greek Freaks came and chastised me on SEIQ's behalf.

It is a pattern and needs to be stopped. Intervention!
