Prism, Urim, Thummim -- I'd trade 'em all for a 56" DLP 1080i. -- Joseph Smith

I don’t trust Romney to vigorously defend the Second Amendment. His past statements and actions and his recent decision to join the NRA do not comfort me. Therefore, Romney will never receive my vote. The fact that he is a Mormon is of no concern to me.
Maybe Romney is a “nutcase” — I don’t know. But if someone makes such as assertion I would certainly hope there is a factual basis.
It should be pointed out that the source of the information you posted is in fact the very people who drove Mormons out of their homes in the dead of winter, tarred and feathered and murdered their men, women and children, burnt their homes and cities to the ground and finally murdered their prophet and called it “frontier justice”. FYI, the word of self-justifying, mass murders, in some corners of the world, is suspect at best.
It should be pointed out that the source of the information you posted is in fact LDS Living Magazine. Please don’t claim there is no bias in their ridiculously exaggerated hagiography of “the Prophet.”
Yep -that'd do it - get rid of Smith
BYW, I hardly expect an even treatment of the subject on a Catholic thread...why post it here, hmmmm
Let’s make it easier for ourselves: Don’t vote for Mitt Romney. We don’t need to be weighed down by this religion problem in 2008. And don’t vote for Rudy or McCain either, while you’re at it.
There once was a con man who made fools of a LOT of people. They followed his underlings to Utah. They were so bad the US government almost went to war with them. They killed everyone in a wagon train while pretending to be Indians after a while.
And he really hated his dog
Well there, by golly.
That's sure enough to deep-six him . He's guilty of anything done 150 years ago by members of the church. Yessir.
(So how do we elect Catholics and members of about any church if they are guilty of anything perpertrated by their church back through history? Think of the Inquisition that killed hundreds of thousands -
Your logic escapes me
Part of the motive was the successful farming of new lands, making them very desirable - anyway they could be taken
I especially like his idea of freeing the slaves by buying them from their masters, using money from the sale of public land (and the reduction in the pay of Congress). It is too bad that slavery was not abolished peacefully in this country.
I'm with you!
I’m not sure about that. I assume that he was serious but I also imagine that he was realistic about his chances of winning. I’d have to read up on that.
Since the source of the article is clearly posted above, it was mentioned. That the anti-Mormon propaganda being spread here was created by murderers, rapists and vandals is never pointed out by those who spread their stories.
Actually, I find it fascinating. Of course, I love history.
LOL!
Did he have magic glasses, yes or no?
Was the book of Mormon plagiarized a good part from the Bible, yes or no?
If you are not willing to debate this questions seriously then don’t bother replying.
That's not the point. IT IS if someone is willing to buy "whole hog" into a religion that is based on on foundation of lies and deceit, you have to question their capacity to think clearly. I have known many Mormons who are the greatest people... but what I just said stands by itself.
And if you are going to aggressively promote your religion on FR, please don't be shocked and offended when some disagree. Freedom of speech and religion are allowed.
Fair enough. But when you say that "several theories disagree," are you honestly suggesting that the Mormons were not mistreated in Missouri and Illinois?
