Of course it wouldn't, if you're not evangelical, you're not an Aggie I guess.

My speculation is that personally, most Muslims, Jews or Mormons will fit in, because by virtue of their personalities, they will make people like them most of the time, exceptions notwithstanding. But TAM containing many evangelical folk contains an undercurrent of distrust for minority religions and that certain brand of predominant religious fervor regards most outsiders with distrust and disfavor. It is just the culture there.

At a Harvard or Stanford, places where religions are of minor import,the tolerance and indifference is at a much higher level and undercurrents of distrust less obvious.

I am greatly entertained by Waters' feud with the Aggie board.

I hope that getting banned from the board won't stop his posts about it.

I'm more worried about attack from the inside. A knife in the back is more dangerous than an assault from outsiders.

Yes, this sort of thinking leads to ideas that Hugh B. Brown damaged the church, far more than Ed Decker.

I'm just saying the Church cannot be destroyed from the outside, only from within.

Lingo believes the church can be destroyed. Interesting. I thought it was going to last til the millenium.

I think mullahs have the potential to destroy many good people in the church.

Mullahs rejoice when the church gets smaller and "more pure".

That's the sad thing. You have just a few honest Mormon sites on the internet, and people like you want to destroy them. Let the "Mormon liberals" have their day in the sun, Lingo. Stop hanging out with your pecker out pissing on the parade.

You're nothing if not classy, Mike.

I love how you attribute false beliefs and attitudes to a group you hate. Much like anti-Mormons attribute false beliefs and attitudes to us.

And I'm not stopping anyone from speaking their mind. I'll disagree with you, but there's no censorship coming from me.
