Hello John,
Thank you for responding.
If that's the extent of your answer, then you agree with me,
for I am simply "disagreeing" with LDS teachings, not
"attacking" them.
(You see, you are introducing the same problem as Gregg,
in that you are simply placing self-serving labels on each
side, the "nice" label on LDS ("disagreeing"), and the
"derogatory" label ("attacking") on the non-LDS side.
So your answer isn't really all that helpful, IMO.

Of course you can say that, for you probably have no desire
to do so. I would disagree that it would be "attacking",
any more than my presence here is "attacking". And in
fact I *welcome* you to do so if you wish (I suggest
alt.christnet.calvinist). Have at it!
But that's just "The Golden Rule", isn't it?
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
I have no problem with any LDS doing in alt.christnet.calvinist
what I'm doing here. Fair is fair, after all! <g>
