What this means in elementary-school terms, is that you agreed with JohnT's fallacious claim that Joseph Smith was preaching hate when he said that the churches of his day had errors.
Yet you claim it's NOT preaching hate when YOU tell people that the devil is their father---an accusation that is FAR WORSE than telling people their doctrines have errors.
This is a pretty good example of hypocrisy, Pharisee-style, like when they would attack a mote in someone's eye, while their own eyes had much bigger problems than just a mote.
That is the point I was trying to get across to you.
