Not a Mormon here but that makes Catholics what....? Pedophiles?

Who exactly is childish here? The ones who believe in an invisible sky god who will tell them what to do (not to mention virgin births, magic golden books etc) or the ones who doubt this?

If you really want to stop this, rather than just posting angry messages why don't you don't something useful and actually pray to the baby Jesus and ask him to stop all the horrid posters?

It's simple. Post a lot of name-calling and insults, and people will call you childish. You fit the definition to a T, including this last post of yours.

If you don't want people to think you're 12, then don't write posts like this one. Then people won't call you childish. It's not hard to understand.

Can't imagine a thread like this bashing the Muslim religion -- so, why, then, is ok to bash Mormans. I don't agree with many of their teachings (or the teachings of many religions) but I respect their right to their beliefs (just as I do for Muslims, Jews and Christians). Thought that most educated, DCUMers would too. Very disappointed to be so wrong.

I would tolerate all religions that stay out of my life. Mormons don't do that. Nor do a lot of the wacko Christians. If they just practiced their faith, or whatever you want to call it, fine. No sweat. But let me ask you this - what happened to the separation of church and state? I don't tolerate them, because in essence, they don't tolerate me.

It is simple. Believe a lot of childish nonsense which you try to impose on others and rational people will mock you for it. It's not hard to understand.

So wait - it's OK for you to be totally intolerant of mormons, and to come on to DCUM to abuse them with the nastiest, stupidest (e.g. the magnets quip) things you can think of. All because they show their "intolerance" by arriving at your door maybe every two years (they've never, ever showed up at my door) and then leaving politely when asked. I bet you can't even give an example of a Mormon being intolerant to you.

Who is the real intolerant person here? Who is the real abuser? Talk about hypocritical.

It's simple - we're talking about your endless ad hominem attacks, your lack of arguing skills, and your intolerance of people with views that are different from yours. Grow up.

Name calling has no place in a rational discussion among grownups. The atheist needs to stop it.

20:22 here again. I just realized I'm in a game of DCUM Bingo. See the other thread on this - I'm arguing with a crazy (atheist in this case) who can't do anything besides insult me.

OK atheist, you win! Enjoy yourself and pretend that you're great! I'm out of here, because there's absolutely no point to spending any more time on you!

Here is the tolerance of the mormons:

Nice one! Cutting off the quote from your own post, which totally demonstrates just how childish you are. Because obviously you wouldn't want others to see your post and agree with the poster who criticized you.

I see... so bashing Mormons because their leaders had and still may have a lot of unpalatable notions is ok? But reminding the Catholics here that their leaders have attempted to deny, cover up, and then justify rampant institutionalized sexual abuse of and mind-boggling cruelty towards children, and that most of the priests perpetrating these horrible crimes seem to feel no tinge of remorse whatsoever when confronted with the evidence is not acceptable? Why?

If you are a Catholic and Mormonism bothers you that much, please explain to me how you can stand being a Catholic? How you can send your kids to Catholic schools and to church and not fear for their safety?

Ugg, I'm back. OK, last one for sure. I'm not Catholic, nor have I ever been Catholic.

I just think you're incredibly, disgustingly intolerant of anybody who believes differently from you. Did you know that Dawkins recently said he's embarrassed by the behavior of many atheists? I think you'd make him cringe, too. Disagreeing with somebody is not a license to abuse them with playground insults.

Tolerance does not mean that you cannot challenge others' beliefs. Tolerance means that you do not infringe on others' rights.
The LDS, by seeking to use its political power to persecute homosexuals and deny them equal rights, such as the right to marriage, is guilty of perpetrating massive intolerance. People questioning their beliefs on a public forum is not intolerance. You need to learn the difference.
