A Couple Conundrums

Okay, I have a couple paradox-style problems I need help with.
First, I was going through my periodic self evaluations and came to this conclusion: My problem is that I need to take every trait of every human being and break it into sentences so I can deal with my problems...like what I just did.
So now I need to find some way to stop dehumanizing people by condensing them into a few short sentences-including myself. But my main problem solving skill is off-limits. Any ideas?
Second, I have recently noticed how every time I watch a church-published video on YouTube, I end up reading all the comments, which are stuffed with anti-mormon propaganda. But any attempt to combat this propaganda is quickly escalated into full on arguments and the spirit of contention. Is there a way to fight the devil's power without being overcome by it?
Any advice would be awesome.

First, judge not that ye be not judged.
Second, stop reading the comments.

Berkeley, There is a clever saying about responding to unkind comments. It is "don't get into the pig pen and wrestle with a pig, the only result is that you will get dirty and the pig will have fun" Eldon

This blog needs more pictures.

I love those mormon youtube videos. I've never read any of the comments though, and thanks to your heads up, I won't start.
