Reasons you left the LDS church.

I'm ashamed to be in the same profession as Conan. He's bugging me and I want to kick the **** out of him but admittedly, probably couldn't so I'd just kick him in the nuts and run instead.
 
I know how Mormons talk about non-Mormons

Believe it or not, there is a difference between "slamming' some of the behavior of members of the church and actually slamming the church itself.

Do you expect Conan to understand that distinction?

The issue is stereotyping, which you think people who tend to get stereotyped a lot would avoid. The quote above has no qualifier like "most" or "some". It implies ALL mormons talk badly about non-mormons. So in this case Conan was right, that is a pretty broad sweeping judgement/generalization.

The distinction is between members of the church and the church itself. Where did I slam the church?

So you can stereotype the people all you want, making jackass blanket claims (that are patently false) that all mormons talk badly about non-mormons as long as you don't slam the church itself? I am sure you love to be stereotyped the same way, right?

Nice hypocrisy there.

Saying "Same ol Sunday School ****" is not a slam on the people and if you meant it to be you failed miserably.

Either you are generally slamming the Church or generally slamming the people. Still a tool move either way.

Dang I read just part of this thread and people are having a hard time!

I am a biology major, so I guess you can say I am a man of science.
After watching this video I converted to Islam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJiPTCtAPAY&feature=fvst

Islam only religion with no scientific error, only religion to suggest marrying one wife (gives limit of four, but is ONLY one that says you should marry one if you can't treat fair AND wife approves), only religion to give women inheritance rights, Really the only religion that gives god all the glory, no pictures/statues worshipping jesus, buddha, Joseph Smith etc.

If someone can find one scientific error in Koran I will become an Atheist (Bible has over 10,000 like Dragonfly's have 4 leggs, stars are small objects that can fall, and the sky cannot be penetrated).

People attribute the miracles of the Koran to that science was advanced back then. Not true, Arabs become advanced AFTER the Koran, not before. The Koran said that Muslims will conquer Constantinople. 1/5th of the Koran is about science and none of it is contradicted.

Religion is not a buffet. You cannot take parts of it and leave the rest.

Ahh, another resident muslim. I hope this post wasn't meant in as much of a condescending matter as I am reading it, though. In the end of the day, the purpose of religion is to help us become better people. If I see a person who has become a model human being through anything from shintoism, to christianity, then I have no reason to slam their faith, or tell him that its inaccurate. In the end it might be, but if the end-result is the same, then does it really matter? Some questions I have always thought about.

I never said any of that. I was only responding to a specific accusation Conan made. Your time of the month?
