Yeah and vice versa isn't rampant by any means.

Turnabout is fair play.

THen I am curious what you are talking about. What prompted your post?

BTW, In my post I suggested there is little difference between the views, as the notion that God created the devil through some use of divine power is really little different from our sense of him being the literal father of all spirits, including Satan.

You aren't seriously going to argue that Mormons consistently represent what other Christians believe accurately?

I don't know what "the post in question" is. And I wasn't "sanctimonious" and I didn't have an "outburst." I was concise and accurate.

So your remarks were completely spontaneous and weren't motivated by anything someone had said recently on Cougarboard? Wow, talk about serendipitous timing.

Years of hearing Mormons misconstrue what other Christians believe. I've been on CB this morning, but I didn't have your post specifically in mind. It was more the mood or tone of discussion of Huckabee's comment.

I really wasn't trying to call you out. Not at all.

Why do you classify it as a Mormon thing? Surely other practitioners mis-represent others' beliefs? Also, not all Mormons mis-represent. Some actually stay silent when they don't know.

Saying you are peeved at Mormons misrepresenting beliefs is a broad brush....like saying you hate when black people just hang out on the street all day.

Are you in a bad mood, Indy? I wasn't trying to call out creekster. Read my post again. Is it full of scholar-speak, references, or mockery? No.

It's just a short, accurate statement of my opinion. You throwing a fit over this is absurd.

You are ignoring that I am making a valid point and are instead trying to turn this into something personal. You ought to be ashamed.

Either way (and I am not worked up about it either way) do you disagree with my position, that there is little practical diffrence between the two beliefs?

Btw, I don't mind if you do call me out (although Iunderstand you wern't) I asked so I could tell if I needed to jump on it or not. No big deal to me.
