Colofornian as well as others have been posting in the religion forum exposing Mormonism since before 2002. Why is it an issue now for some?

Because these are posts not simply exposing Mormonism's false religious beliefs. I would have no problem with that. I agree that Mormonism is a false, heretical, made-up religion.

But these are posts intended for a political purpose: to attack a candidate for political office because of his religious beliefs, when there is no evidence that his religion has interfered in the past or would interfere in the future with his carrying out of the duties of political office.

It's worse than that, nearly every post for the last year has been a virulent attack on Mormonism. If there was some crime committed by anyone even associated with the LDS church or by a student or graduate from BYU, he's been on top of it just to let us know how horrible a religion it must be if it's adherents make mistakes in their lives.

It's a rather pathetic grab for attention. He states over and over again the flaws of Mormonism yet there are no topics he's posted that allows those on this forum to view his own beliefs and the flaws in those.

But the next time a member of the LDS church is caught speeding I'm sure he'll be the first to let us know.

Let me repeat what you said...oh I just did.

EXACTLY! there is no evidence that his religion has interfered in the past or would interfere in the future with his carrying out of the duties of political office. “
