Mormon attacks on Christianity is troubling.
People have every right to make negative comments about his religion. It is not, however, relevant to the campaign.
And where praytell have you found any of that from Romney?
Free speech, and all that, but it makes Mr. Romney’s opponents look like immature twinks.
Agreed.
If Mormons would stop claiming to be Christians no one would have to correct them.
I think this problem will be eliminated when some of the more desparate candidates run out of money.Some may feel it their spiritual duty to attack anothers faith,like jihad, but this is demagoguing.I consider such attacks un-American in nature.
Like I’ve said before, it’s not Romney’s religion that I don’t like, it’s his politics.
I posted this on another thread:
Romney and the Mormon apologists say different, of course, but Mormonism is very similar to Islam. Both Joseph Smith, the prophet of Mormonism, and Mohammed were false prophets of the first order.
It will be a sad day if the United States of America elects a follower of a Mohammed-like cult of Christianity to the white house.
Problem is nowadays, American Christianity has for the most part left their Biblical moorings and do not know, or care, what Mormonism really is. Romney is banking on it.
Clearly, any derogatory comments about anyone’s faith—those comments are troubling.
So if we criticize radical Islam, is that troubling? Romney's comment is way too sweeping.
I disagree with many of his positions as well, although he seems not to be a nutcase, at least. His religion doesn’t matter to me in the slightest.
In the same way, I don’t care that Rudy Giuliani is a bad Catholic - I care about his positions on the issues.
It's just a wild guess of mine, that a Bishop would agree with his own church's doctrine.
Call me silly...
Well, I’m not in a position to criticize Rudy’s Catholicism, being severely lapsed myself, but I can criticize him for being out of touch with 80% of his party.
If he keeps bringing it up people will go online to read about it and most of what they read will make it sound quite odd.
Mitt should drop it and hope it dies down and out of the news cycle.
It is the Mormon religion that first attacked Christ and His followers by making many false claims about Him, including that He is the Devil’s brother: Jesus was the spirit brother of Lucifer - according to this doctrine Jesus became the Savior because he came up with a better plan than Lucifer concerning how to get the people on earth to worship God (see Pearl of Great Price, Book of Moses, 4:1-3).
Romney defends the religion that teaches this false gospel.
Mormonism is clearly outside the pale of traditional christianity. I find it troubling that any statement rightly identifying this group as a cult is dismissed as bigotry. It is also troubling that many Americans consider this a christian religion.
While I do not think that being Mormon necessarily disqualifies someone from being POTUS, it definitely suggests that Romney's judgment on important matters is somewhat questionable.
whatta joke!
30-40% of americans are not voting mormon.
where do they get such an idea?
from the way mormons treat those around them.
it’s that simple.
What he has experienced so far is nothing. She will defeat him by using his religion against him.
I want to win in 08. With Romney we will definitely lose.
If he keeps bringing it up [Mormonism] people will go online to read about it and most of what they read will make it sound quite odd.
Quite odd, all right. How about this, for instance. God, according to Mormonism, is an extraterrestrial humanoid from a planet near the star “Kolob.” This humanoid had sex (physically) with Mary to produce Christ. Christ, also, like his father, with Lucifer his alleged brother, are allegedly from the same planet.
> If Mormons would stop claiming to be Christians no one would have to correct them.
If Mormons profess to be Christian, then they are Christian. If you as a Christian don’t like that, then take it up with The Boss:
Luke 9:49-50
“49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.”
