Dialogue with an RM (October 29th, 2021)
I, Rob Sivulka, IM'ed a local Returned Missionary (RM) who saw my Facebook (FB) post on talking with the LDS sister missionaries. He commented on the post and I responded back and became FB friends. He wanted to meet me with some LDS missionaries. However, he didn't have their #, so he then wanted me to meet him with his uncle, of whom this RM said: "he’s a Protestants worst nightmare lol"

[He said:] We k[n]ow we’re right

[I said:] Well, I know I'm right too, but at least I'm humble enough to know I could be wrong.

[He said:] That statement is a little confusing you’re right but maybe wrong.

[I said:] So you couldn't even be mistaken? Knowledge doesn't imply infallibility[,] [u]nless you're God of course

[Now his true colors start coming out and he said:] No, I'm right. I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it; at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation.

[I replied:] K, w[e]ll who am I to add anything to the infallible that can't make a mistake with his religious thinking? If I couldn't even change your mind, then I'd be wasting my time to even try. Check back with me when you're a little more open.

[He replied:] No, I wanna convert you to Mormonism

[I replied:] I'd like to convert you to Christianity, but you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. So if you're not even willing to drink, I've got better things to do with my time.

[He replied:] If you are talking Christianity pre-nicea i already believe in that. Modern Christianity is rotten

[I replied:] I'm talking knowing the Jesus of the Bible who is so much more infinitely greater than Joseph Smith's Mickey Mouse Jesus.

[He replied:] Your Jesus is evil he created satan he chooses who he saves! Damn Christianity!
Pastors and politicians most corrupt people ever!

[I replied:] Again, I'm not going to waste my time with someone who thinks they can't be wrong about their neo-pagan, sci fi, fertility, multi-[level] marketing cult.

[He replied:] Christianity is disgrace to the Atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
