Aaaah, I see.

So because you have already come to a conclusion about their character based solely on their comments about mormonism, you feel justified in the stealth slander?

Regardless of whether you believe they’ll be honest, they qualify as “satanists”?

Yet, you won’t engage them in discussion, it’s simply too easy to snipe with high-fiving character assassination from the shadows.

Tearing down other Christians who are posting truthful and factual information based on their research and experiences simply because you don’t like what’s being posted is satanic.

Epic fail...

It is amusing to know that there are people who think they are superior just based on their religion.

Mormonism has taught for 180 years that it is superior, and "the only true and living church". The sect encourages this "superior" attitude in its doctrine that the only way to salvation is through following Joseph Smith.

When reading statements about how nice and helpful mormons are, keep in mind that most of them really believe in their superior claim on salvation.

Henry B. Eyring, “The True and Living Church,” Ensign, May 2008, 20–24

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true, and it lives on.

As we sustain Thomas Spencer Monson as prophet, seer, and revelator and President of the Church, and D. Todd Christofferson as an Apostle and member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, we have seen and felt evidence that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is both true and living. The Lord spoke to those through whom He restored the Church in the latter days. He said of them that they “might have power to lay the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased, speaking unto the church collectively and not individually—

In fact there is a mormon doctrine that claims that elite mormons, (such as Mitt Romney) may take part in a ritual that guarantees on earth that salvation is guaranteed in Heaven.

From the mormon university website,

CALLING AND ELECTION MADE SURE

[2] Now what is meant by making a calling sure?

All blessings promised in connection with the callings of God are conditional; they are offered to men provided they obey the laws upon which their receipt is predicated. (D&C 130:20-21.) "For all who will have a blessing at my hands," the Lord says, "shall abide the law which was appointed for that blessing, and the conditions thereof, as were instituted from before the foundation of the world." (D&C 132:5.)

It follows, then, that when the law has been lived to the full, the promised blessing is guaranteed. "I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise." (D&C 82:10.) Accordingly, when a man lives the law that qualifies him for eternal life, the Lord is bound by his own law to confer that greatest of all gifts upon him. And if by a long course of trial and obedience, while yet in this life, a man proves to the Lord that he has and will abide in the truth, the Lord accepts the exhibited devotion and issues his decree that the promised blessings shall be received. The calling, which up to that time was provisional, is then made sure. The receipt of the promised blessings are no longer conditional; they are guaranteed. Announcement is made that every gospel blessing shall be inherited.

[3] What is meant by election? Who are the elect of God? To what have

The elect of God comprise a very select group, an inner circle of faithful members of the Church.... They are the portion of church members who are striving with all their hearts to keep the fulness of the gospel law in this life so that they can become inheritors of the fulness of the gospel rewards in the life to come.

"As far as the male sex is concerned, they are the ones, the Lord says, who have the Melchizedek Priesthood conferred upon them and who thereafter magnify their callings and are sanctified by the Spirit. In this way, 'They become the sons of Moses and of Aaron and the seed of Abraham, and the church and kingdom, and the elect of God.' " (Mormon Doctrine, 2nd ed., 217.) See Commentary 2: 267-269, 271-278, 283-285

You are truly pathetic. Moron.

[svcw]

You really need to explain what you find moronic.
Is it the words of the leaders of mormonism?
Is it the poster of the words of the leaders of mormonism?
Is it that you don't understand the words of the leaders of mormonism?
Is it that the poster has provided to much information about the leaders of mormonism and their words?
Really if you are trying to make a point, you failed.

#3 bigot.

#50 One good thing about these Mormon bashing threads is that it puts all the mormon hating, lunatic bigots on one thread so we can see who they are. A really sick, twisted bunch.

#101 LOL! Is that supposed to impress me! Should I be afraid? Grow the hell up.

 

#155 You have summed it up perfectly.

 

#157 You and your ilk are an insult and an embarrassment to Christians and conservatives everywhere.

 

#176 Of course I wasn’t speaking for you. I was referring to you!

 

#184 You are truly pathetic. Moron.

If Mitt wins I don’t he will establish the LDS as the official religion.. Since the Constitution clearly prohibits it.
Utah hasn't “established” mormonism as the official religion, but the religion rules the state all the same.

That may have been true 40 or 50 years ago, but there have been too many people who like the Utah lifestyle, but are unwilling to do the work necessary to keep that lifestyle, for your statement to be true today.

[Elsie]

I hope you’ve lurked for a MUCH longer time than you’ve been a Freeper!

[greyfoxx39]

Your statement doesn’t make sense to me. What are you saying?

[sickoflibs]

HA-HA, He called you an ‘ilk’ too (as with me).

Welcome to the ‘ilk’ club:)
