Me? Feel superior?

No way. I'm an idiot and freely admit it.

I never fire the first shot. My comments are only in defense of what is important to me.

Can you say you are the worse for your engagements with SU?
I'd have to think back, but I'm not sure I've really engaged SU all that much.

I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

SU belittles others for their religious beliefs more than any other single person on this site. Whether someone is or isn't superior to SU is kind of besides the point.

BS! Liar!

Your "Walking Edna Winter Wonderland" blast was totally unwarranted. Nobody was even talking to you in that thread. You just had to get in the last word, as usual.

SU is belittled for being an asshole. If there is a belief that causes him to be an asshole it is that belief that is belittled.

Now son here is a bit of advice from an SUV driving Redneck wannabee, don't muzzle up to assholes as you may end up covered in shit. Being covered in bovine shit is sexy and women wanna hump when that aroma starts wafting into their ranch house, but smelling like human shit is never sexy.

Default Ah, the misdirection play.

Am I the only one who sees exquisite irony in the LDS Church's plea to apostates, "Just leave us alone!" This is one way in which the LDS Church is monstrously hypocritical.
Seattle, my question remains unanswered. You're talking about my quote, not my question. Why the unquenched anger toward the Church and the desire to attack it at every opportunity?

The Church usually responds to criticism with indifference. And rightfully so. No response will change the minds of the critics, so why bother contending with them?

The Church basically consulted with me and my incredible track record of not falling for trolls on CG or CB. I walked them through a PR strategy for dealing with critical apostates. I tried to get them to adopt a more liberal approach to sarcasm but I dont think they were ready for that yet.
If you would have listened to conference, you would have had some good stuff from Elder Ballard to quote.

How many of you truly want SU to leave this space? To leave you and this space alone?

I didn't think so.

Give me 3 or 4 more weeks, and then I will bust out some Elder Ballard stuff.

Although by then, I may have missed the boat.
