Also, I'm well aware of the definition of "bigotry," but as discussed before, under the dictionary's definition every single person is bigoted about 99.9% of everything and the term loses all meaning. The dictionary does not define words, it only reflects popular usage. Please explain how you're using it so that it means something other than simple disagreement. |

I have to agree with you there. That does fit under the same broad definition.

Please explain why the onus should be on Mormonism to change? Also please explain this contradictory position considering your continued criticism for actions you have deemed as changing to appear more mainstream?
Better yet, nut up and call a spade a spade -it's bigotry in all instances and should not be tolerated. |

I was trying to take you serious until I read that. I haven't finished reading the entire thread to know if that was tongue-in-cheek or not.

I don't care if Mormonism changes, just as I don't care if any other religion changes. There is nothing that any religion could do to make me think that they base their doctrines on reason. That shouldn't be an insult, as that's the point of religion. Many find comfort in that; I don't. That I reject Mormonism doesn't make me a bigot any more than rejecting atheism makes you a bigot. You just keep throwing that word around as if it's the ultimate insult without even realizing what it means. |

You really believe the world is better off if it is full of people who endeavor to conform? I hope you won't let your desire to put tooblue in place overwhelm your generally open minded attitude
The arrogance of your attitude is comenserate with the attitude of what the world has come to know as the Ugly American. |
