Your dictionary definition could be applied to any religious faith that believes it holds the only keys to attainment of the highest possible state in the hereafter.
I apologize for misquoting you. You did mention that theocracies, not religion itself, are inherently evil.

You're right, the definition could apply to any faith - even the LDS faith; however, it applies to you as well and you continue to deflect any question or comment that points to your bigotry towards religion and more specifically the LDS Church. Why? Are you so full of yourself that you can't admit faults or shortcomings?

I like you Seattle and think you're a very intelligent person, but your rants against Mormonism are tiring. It should have occurred to you by now that you're not going to convince anyone to join you. Those of us that believe will continue to do so. You don't have to believe and that's ok - most of us are cool with it. Just allow those of us who are devout LDS to do so without any snide comments. Please.
