For what its worth, I personally haven’t touched your karma on this site one way or the other.
I think you want to engage me in a discussion of the particulars of your specific faith. I had hoped to convey this in my prior post, but your faith is just one of many, many others vying for my attention. As it happens, I’ve looked at a bit of Mormon doctrine, and wasn’t impressed. I know that, right now, you want to jump up and talk about Mormon doctrine in great length. But think about it from my perspective! You represent only one of many, many sects, all vying for my time and attention. You seem like just the rest of them. Much more to the point—I’m not in the market for a new religion. I abandoned my old one a long time ago, and haven’t missed it.
Finally, with regard to the prophet point, you said:
I do not claim to be a prophet for anyone other then myself, so any prediction I were to make would just be a prediction based on my own understanding of things and thus highly likely to be wrong. I will go through the public talks of the current prophet and pull up something if you wish, most likely it will be of limited scope and therefore not impressive to you.
If you have nothing to say, then say nothing. Unless you have some real smoking gun, conclusively demonstrating the veracity of some claimed prophet, you should just forget about it.

Okay then, sorry for thinking it was you. I mostly get upset when that happens because whoever did it doesn’t take the time to tell me why I am wrong. This isn’t the first time it has happened.
I think you want to engage me in a discussion of the particulars of your specific faith.
Given the assumption that I had made and your other comments on the subject I was looking for a chance to explain myself and to force you to defend your claims against me (as I saw it) and my faith. If you claim it to be internally inconsistent then prove it to be, if it isn’t internally inconsistent then don’t claim it is.
Further, I do enjoy debating with people about the subject but also know it to be fairly pointless. For me, it is fun and when I have had a rough week or something surprisingly relaxing. I should clarify that debating with people that know what and why they believe in something is fun, most people don’t and that is just frustrating.
If you aren’t attacking me in specific and don’t enjoy such discussions then the only thing you have said that I would like explained is the internal inconsistency you see.

What would count as a real smoking gun, for you?
