Andalus,

When you face daily the attacks that I have over my faith, then you would understand my "sensitivities" a little better.

Go to this site, watch the videos of the protestors and street preachers.  Mormons are always being attacked.  We are sensitive and defensive, but with good reason. 

You titled your little forum, Mormon Hym About the Planet Gd was Born?  That is a complete fallacy as to what we believe.  In posting that, you started the forum off with the wrong spirit.  That was the problem I had.  You didn't ask what it meant, you implied you knew better than we do. 

I am proud of my faith, but I will not enter into a debate with someone who obviously has not desire to know the true beliefs we hold.  Only two members of this board have ever entered into a respectful debate with me about these issues.  AhmadJoyia and Israfil.

Greetings Angela.

I am happy you decided to stay. I have already stated I would respect your "sensitive" nature, but you have made accusations that are simply false. I have not mocked your faith. I have not picked it a part. I quoted your sources, in conext without any tampering with the text. If you feel that I have really mocked your faith, then you should really think deep about your feelings of discomfort and make sure they are aimed at the right place. Let your faith affirm yourself. If you are a Mormon then be proud and affirmed by your texts. As a Muslim, I hear more insults than any Mormon will.

I apologized to you and agreed to not discuss you faith, and you are now discussing your faith. I understand your faith very clearly. I will leave it at that.

Again I am glad you will stay and I will not go into your faith.

 

Peace
A feeling of discouragement when you slip up is a sure sign that you put your faith in deeds. -Ibn 'Ata'llah

Once again, I was talked out of leaving, thanks to Brother Salman and Sister Amah. 

This place is an evil addiction. 

But, again, the statement is I'm not here to discuss my faith.  Respectful questions yes, but this isn't the place for debate on my religion.  There are other places to do that. 

Here I am simply a Christian of a different denomination, with different beliefs.  I want to leave it at that.

Dear Angela,

I'm very sorry I didn't have the opportunity of conversing with you.  I have been here for just the past few days, but I was here frequently in past years.  I first joined in 2001.  I, too, am here to learn more about Islam.  And I'm rather a loner myself.  I am Catholic.  There, that's enough to make many people begin to mumble and shudder.  But that's what I am called to and believe in.

I know some of Mormonism....my cousin and her husband are Mormons, and one of my best friends is Mormon.  I have the greatest respect for them, and have always known them to be among the most peaceful, devoted, compassionate, and highly family valued persons on earth. 

If you could possibly see fit to remain here for awhile longer, I would really like to have the possibility of talking with you.  I'm sure this would greatly please our Heavenly Father, don't you think?

God's Peace Always,

Patty
Patty

I don't know what the future holds....but I know who holds the future.
