DAVEH: Really?!?!?! Have you actually had that happen to you personally?
Yes.
Did you really hear an LDS person claim they were persecuted merely from theological discussions???Yes. I recall one in particular...during a discussion on email...the LDS respondent had used the phrase "Doctrine of Polygamy in the Bible", and I had responded that the Bible expounds no doctrine of polygamy, does not condone it, and, furthermore, teaches against it. And that, even though it was practiced at different periods, it was never taught as doctrine, but only tolerated, if that. I further drew an analogy that Moses killed a man, and David had a man killed, which makes them murderers, but does not establish murder as a doctrine. I added that it was a fabrication of Joseph Smith's, most likely to cover up the adultery in which he had been caught. Then I followed up with the "slap in the face of the martyrs" post. While I was very emphatic with him, and stern in my response, I certainly did not think I was "persecuting" him.
The respondent sang the persecution song, and said he had added my name to his email filter, and that he never wanted me to try to send him another email. (Gee, I sure am glad he did not know where I live!)
Other persecution songs I have heard LDS sing were much softer.
