Yes, there is.  Despite your refusal to research the issues I bring
forth, and look at them truthfully, there are some Mormons out there
that are interested in finding out the truth behind the maze of
Mormonism.  I have never asked anyone to take my word on anything, but
to take the issues and look at the evidence and decide for yourself.  If
you look at the evidence and then make a decision, that is alright.
However, Kermit, you refuse to even look at the evidence.  Not all
Mormons are like that, several have written to me in presonal mail and
I have given them info for them to research themselves and make their
own decisions.  From this I have seem several Mormons come to know the
true Jesus.  So I do think there is point to all this.  Even though
not all Mormons reading are interested in looking at the facts; the fact
is, some are.

I am certain that since you have such a accurate number, your could list
them for us.

If you want to talk about cheap Kermit, this stab is cheap!  I talked
with you in email and on trm until you started with the obsenities at
me.  I told you that I refuse to discuss the Truth of God over someone
that resorts to that sort of language.  If this doesn't settle the
subject of cheap shots, maybe I'll post the personal letter you sent me
yesterday in email.    :-()

It does since you talk about ME, instead of THE ISSUES! Notice how your
letter here simple attacks ME.  If what I have been saying is wrong,
then you should be able to talk about THE ISSUE.  But you don't, you
continually choose to discuss ME.
