When will Mormonism disappear?

Have you seen Airplane? You know the part where the passengers line up to slap the hysterical woman over and over in an effort to try to get her to stop crying? I feel that's what we need to do with you.

Never seen it. Is it good?

Hilarious. But judging by your performance here, you wouldn't get any of it.

Honestly, break it down for me here. What is it that you think I am saying? No BS response, give a clear succint answer.

Sounds very heady, esp the slapping the woman part.

I am not even sure what we are discussing at this point, so i will simply concede that missionaries wear black name tags and that the Church was under attack. Thankfully, the attack was repelled, I guess.

There has been a lot of math in this thread and it has me all confused, but I wouldn't take your loss of credibility too hard. Were I to lose mine, for example, well, I think zero minus zero is still zero. Perhaps that would make me in-credible. Think about that.

That is what is so entertaining. For a newcomer like Levin, threatening me with the loss of credibility on this site?.........oh, no!

You still have hope. For me, at least, my status has been "cemented." That usually means that nothing can change it.

It's that you're finding equivalency in situations that clearly aren't equivalent. And you're fixating on the wearing of the name tag, when it is the situation and public marketing of the situation coupled with the wearing of the name tag that is key. You're willed ignorance (you're clearly not this dumb) is what has lost you the credibility. But it doesn't seem like you had much to begin with. But again, I'm just a newcomer so I can't fully judge these things.

Wrong. Beaker served in my mission, and he totally sucked; his German was incomprehensible.

BTW, one of the great pleasures of this site is watching people take DDD seriously and then going a few rounds with him. At leading people on DDD has serious game.
