With people, I give the benefit of the doubt longer than is entirely rational. Then I do the force choke thing. I do that with particles.

The issue of whether God can be a community of countless persons and still be special is discussed in another post. Look for "Diversity of Perfections." That's assuming you're really interested in a discussion rather than trolling. Derek,

Oh, and to answer your question: "God’s purpose is to make us over in His image and exalt us to godhood. This truth of Mormon Christianity offends creedal Christians. Maybe even outrages them. I don’t get why." You freakin brainwashed loons, if everyone who, in your or Gods eyes, becomes a God then God is no longer special and is just one of many and Mormons have created this sense from this con artist Smith that people become Gods (of course mormons get special treatment I am sure, jeez). So your logic is that there are millions or billions of Gods out there. Nice fantasy, do they meet to discuss topics at their annual God conference in the sky near the big dipper? How right the world would be without the pressure, ignorance, or prejudice of one's faith over another. Mormons happen to be outskirts of reasonable thought that's why mainstream Christians don't get you. Been there done that and baptized for the dead. I look back and feel so stupid!

Honest differences in belief of this kind should not be a cause for bad feelings. I find transubstantiation (for example) at odds with my beliefs, but I can't call it strange compared with some of my beliefs or with other beliefs we both share, nor does your belief in it prevent me from trying to be a good neighbor to you.

Nor am I offended by the Muslim belief that Jesus is not God, nor the Buddhist belief that there is no God. Certainly those beliefs differ from those of the faith which I believe is true (the Catholic faith, for those who don't know), but I don't see that as cause for offense.
