In reply to the discussion: The Dope-Mobile [View all]Act_of_Reparation
(9,116 posts)17. "But draw whatever conclusions best suit your narrative, AOR."
Is there a particular reason you can't limit yourself to the discussion at hand without making absurd allusions as to the motivations of complete strangers, or is this obnoxious tactic a point of pride with you? I only ask because you keep saying you want civil discussion here, and every time I give you the benefit of the doubt you pull the same odious stunt.
You know what they say about people in glass houses, right?
Are you suggesting that the church is too lenient in who they let drive their cars or send them mail? Perhaps drug testing is in order.

Nonsense.
A representative of the One True Church is a representative of the One True Church, regardless of their pay grade. If the Church is going to continue to arrogantly assert its moral superiority over all other faiths, or lack thereof, then I think it a reasonable expectation that they act like it.
And if they don't, then they're fair game. You know what they say about people in glass houses, right?
