how funny that i found this video the same day i was musing about this exact same subject =)

Nothing offends me. Why? Because it is all coming from a cult. How can a Christian be offended by the made up religion of a con man, temple dress up, polygamy and a thief who continues to steal your money in death?

They can say that "atheists have no morals", or that "atheism is a religion, too", but I don't take it personally. I just think they are bigoted and don't really understand.

So why IS it that believers are SOOO sensitive?

For many, maybe even most of them, their beliefs are all they have. They have been taught their feelings and perceptions trump the data.

Generally true, yes. Personally, it's about peace. When I feel all peaceful and happy I'm not going to let some a$$ kill my zen.

Maybe TBMs are working so hard to keep the tower of their belief from falling down that it pisses them off when you tap on one of the blocks.

My tower already fell down so I could care less if they throw my blocks around.

Hmmmm... I'm not sure if that made sense. I'm a little high on cold meds.

that made total sense, what a good analogy =)

yeah i agree about the happiness thing, that it bugs me when they say that i cant be happy unless i am a faithful member of cojcolds. many members have said that to me after i joined the rebel forces.

Well, there are a couple of things that are somewhat offensive to LDS belief/s and it's mostly when ideas, practices, teachings do not reflect their own. Here's a few a Mormon might say:

- Christians can drink wine, coffee and tea. Harrumph, no fair!
- Catholics pray to Mother Mary. Stop it, she's too sacred to talk about.
- In the next life, we sit around God singing praises all day to Her. Heresy! We get to BE gods. So, there.
- Other churches pay their street level clergy. Blasphemy, I'm offended that they don't do it for free the way "I" did when I was bishop. What?
- The Pope is the head of the universal church. What gall, I don't recognize, for example, John Paul II's directives for world peace and ecumenism.
- Saved by grace you say? Well, that's offensive. God expects you to wring your life dry in service to him, and after all that you're still NOT worthy, lowly scum!
