Well though I don't entirely agree with you, you made a couple statements that are creditable. I respect that you're willing to atleast maturely debate in an articulate matter. I guess we can agree to disagree. It's refreshing to see a strong admiration for mankind. I believe we would generate greater achievments if people adopted a more optimistic philosophy.

I don't claim to know all truth.
I don't disagree with Mormonism or Islam because they aren't the same as mine. I disagree with them because I have studied them both rather Indepth. And I believe whole heartedly they are both a farce.
Don't make the mistake of thinking I won't hear arguments to the contrary. You have brought no new information to me beyond your own opinion which I feel to be a genuine attempt to find the good in all people.... Though seemingly uneducated. No offense.
I have had discussions on this board with very passionate Muslims and Mormons. I have walked away with a changes mind on my perspective if Islam and Muslims.
I have had discussions with passionate Mormons who hate the blood in my veins. Because they have yet to prove to me my error in philosophy regarding Mormonism and is very deeply rooted occult foundations.

I am all for being corrected and redirected in my thinking. I'm not stubborn. Though I may come off that way lol. I just like to argue and debate. If your position can stand against my questioning then and only then can I even consider it to be truth.

Michael, you can't argue with people that think their way is better than anyone else's (no matter what) If you don't think your way is better than mine..... Why would you believe it? Things that make ya say...hmmm

Every religion be it Christian, Muslim or Mormon.
They ALL teach they are better than the others. You can't agree with them all. None of them teach that its ok to be part of the others. To follow one is to abandon the others. To embrace all is to abandon all. They can't all be right. because each of them specifically teach the others are wrong.
Anyone who teaches "all paths lead to God" is a fool.
Anyone who teaches "truth is different to each person" is also a fool. And is probably horrible at math.

Because they have yet to prove to me my error in philosophy regarding Mormonism and is very deeply rooted occult foundations. As I really try to avoid any topic where I see your name – some times I cannot help myself. Please give an instance (or proof as you will) of when your great acumen for philosophy has been proven incorrect? Never you say, what a surprise. Not defending or condemning Mormonism just trying to point out your self righteous BS. I am all for being corrected and redirected in my thinking. I'm not stubborn. Though I may come off that way lol. I just like to argue and debate. If your position can stand against my questioning then and only then can I even consider it to be truth. Actually, you just come across as a pompous ass. Don’t you ever tire of hearing your own spewing? Sorry for the rant but damn – hearing how condescending you are is almost as offensive as your posts. No offense (sounds silly doesn’t it?). Alright, enough for me – probably will not visit this thread again or the next one that Ryan starts attacking Catholicism.

No matter which faith you are guided by, EACH should be followed by it's doctrine and find where your conviction lays. For many who have actually searched and studied other faiths, only then can someone give the reasoning why they do/don't follow it. Then, if 2 or more educated people disagree, it's a simple question and answer conversation. Christianity had a bad rap because of morons doing stuff "in the name of", knowing that it doesn't line up with His teachings. Judging a certain religion based on man alone, is a mistake. Now, when/if doctrine lines up with immoral things the people do, that proof

I would put money on the fact that you check this thread at least once to see how I respond to your rant

The answer is.... Those who only believe what they are taught rather than seeking truth for themselves.
