Sure, ignore facts and toss out insults. That's reasonable.
Not.

There isn't evidence. And it the claims don't need "countering," they're worthless on their face. But of course, since you like the ideas behind the claims, you'll ignore that.

It's not false, it's completely factual.

I'll suggest you simply weren't paying attention, then. I've had hundreds of mormons tell me that very thing. You can do a quick internet search and find many THOUSANDS of mormons making that exact claim. Your ignorance of facts doesn't make my statement not true, it just is evidence of your ignorance of facts (and inability to go find facts).
Here's one:
https://www.mormon.org/me/3mgfWhere he says, "I have been spiritually guided by the Holy Ghost, almost as clear as a voice, which has led me to a Mormon Elder, the Book of Mormon, and to the restored Church of Jesus Christ... I have chosen His will over mine, because He has let me know what He wants for me, and I know for a certainty that He knows best. He has never let me down."
There are thousands (tens of thousands?) more on the 'net. Just go find them.

I didn't, and your premise is false. Go do the internet search.

Now *that* is a false statement.

Once again you go for the personal insults rather than counter an argument with facts and evidence. It's rather sad.
You also completely ignored the point, as even you admitted that GA's have said they had "spiritual experiences." Why are theirs no good, but yours are? Try answering the question instead of tossing out childish insults.
