Essentially you did. You referred to Christian martyrs and Mormon martyrs. That alone would be offensive to any Mormon. And when it gets right down to it, I've know very few Baptists whom I would consider to be Christians. Christians, for one thing, are not supposed to be judgmental.
Let me guess. If someone came on a post and put words in your mouth you would just roll over and act like they didn't? I think not. What you read into it and the exact words I used are not the same.

I have nothing to do with that.
Christians, for one thing, are not supposed to be judgmental.
This statement is a reflection of not understanding biblical concepts on judgement. Thing about it is, mormons want to be called Christians and this is what the Bible says about judging:
I Corithians 5:12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?
This refers to judging those who say they are Christian. Those outside are unbelievers who would not fall under the Bibles authority.
To abuse the scripture I would assume most would use the scripture:
Matthew 7:1 " Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
There are several applications for this, as in, judging others for the same sins you are committing, nor judge the unsaved, they are spiritually dead.
As far as me being judgemental, I am doing what the Bible instructs me to do. Mormons claim to be Christian so I must use the scriptures to determine what the guideline is, then discussions with mormons to find their stance and make judgement as to whether it matches what scripture says. You want to turn that into a negative that is your perrogative. But just remember what you accuse me of you do yourself. You make decisions about others judging them against your own beliefs.
