I do wish you'd stop with this lie. You are a believer, you've always been
one and that's why you want to shut up anyone who disagrees with those who
want to convert everyone. 

No, Ed doesn't want to convert everyone. But he belongs to a religion that
believes in baptizing the dead to make them all Mormons. That isn't an
EXTREME form of pushing your religion on somebody? And he's so blindered
that he wants to believe, and wants everyone else to believe, that members
of his religion aren't even human. Denying that males between the ages of
18 and 25 especially don't feel like they're invincible?  That mormons
never do anything wrong and never did anything wrong...like commit fraud
and murder?

That's just not healthy. And it's a really sad thing to see.

Yes, you do seem to say that all religions should be respected but we know
that there's only "one true religion" and the only one that will get more
than lip service to that ideal will be christianity.

The person walking down the street muttering to himself will be seen as
crazy. Let him say he's 'praying' and he'll still get some strange looks
but people will relax a bit. Let him say he's 'talking to Jesus' and you'll
treat him very well. Hearing voices is very suspect unless you claim they
are god, then they are a GOOD thing.  And that's the craziest part of all.
