I've not claimed that any religion is more false than the other so this attempt at sarcasm is off the mark. For sarcasm to work you have to be accurate about that which you are attempting to mock. A joke that is "funny because it's true" is not funny if it's not true.
It seems that we all agree that all religions share the same flaw in that they put faith ahead of reason. They are all false, but some are more violent/intolerant/sexist and so on and these differences have real world consequences.
It bothers me that every public figure who speaks about Islam being currently more troublesome is labelled a racist and bigot and their reasoned arguments are ignored or misrepresented. Sam Harris, Bill Maher, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Maajid Nawaz, Richard Dawkins, Hitchens etc... Tolerance of intolerance does not lead to more tolerance.
Compare this to the enlightenment when people like Voltaire, and Thomas Jefferson spoke out against Christianity. They were deemed blasphemers by their religious opponents, not racists and bigots by their own ideological peers.
How can there be a new enlightenment directed at Islam when Liberals and atheists attack their own peers who are speaking out against Islam?
I'm acknowledging Joseph Smith went the extra mile, so to speak, in compounding screw up after screw up with more screw ups.
First, in my view, if you're going to cobble together another false religion out of bailing wire, duck tape, and wire ties, and then spend an exorbitant amount of time and effort revising the original version, and then revising the revisions, and then revising that, and then your successors commence to revising shit compulsively too, for pity's sake, do NOT record all your conniving and perfidy in the first place, and in the second place, don't fucking publish it in official church publications, and then in the third place, your idiot successors are going to deny anything was ever changed, then when they are presented with the evidence YOU FUCKING PUBLISHED, it makes them look like fucking foolish diptard hacks when they have to deny, deny deny, all the while their fucking apologists are jumping ship when faced with the hopeless fucking task of straightening out all your fucking lies, lies, revisions, changes, lies, perfidy, lies, connivance, contrivance, lies and more lies !!!!
now, undoubtedly, there is all kinds of crappola, folderol, outrageous lies and conduct in all manner of faiths, but we have to admit, most all of those other religions had the in house staff with the inherent sense to not publish incontrovertible evidence of their malfeasance in their OWN PUBLICATIONS !!
Mormonism is head and shoulders above all the rest in self falsifying itself (thus saving us the leg work!) and self publishing on their very own church owned printing presses all the implicating documents anyone would ever need to disprove Mormonism. So, it really is an [ahem and tee hee] especially false religion.
Oh that the rest of Christendom would have been as conveniently stupid, the interests of atheism would be centuries more advanced at this point !!!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
