"Shove it. A Mormon is running for the nomination, not a wiccan, athiest or a satanist."
I call your shove it and throw it back.
I've dealt with lots of Mormons here in Nevada for 25 years. Their yards are neat, their kids fed, AND they are a vindictive cult. That's just my real life experience multiplied innumerable times.
Just had another business buddy call me up to have me research some mormons screwing someone out of their inheritance. I have more of these instances than you have time to hear them.
For example, once I was told not to step on the mormon crickets that infested an office or lose my job. Then I have the stories of Harry Reid and the real mafia. Oh and I'm about to turn in a temple Mormon for tax evasion and extortion. Then there was the Mormon hydroponics farm that used "magic water". Or the nepotism for a website designer who was almost totally blind.
Better stop before I get on a roll.
Boy oh boy. That settles it. Your experience with Mormons really makes me dislike Romney. /s.
So if Mormons were slobs who starved their kids you might like them better?
You said -- "I've dealt with lots of Mormons here in Nevada for 25 years. Their yards are neat, their kids fed, AND they are a vindictive cult. That's just my real life experience multiplied innumerable times."
While I don't doubt that you have had some of these experiences, as you describe, as I said in an earlier post, the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" is a *cult* -- by definition, from a Christian standpoint.
The is well documented from many different sources and Christian theologians. Mormonism is *absolutely nothing* like Christianity of the Bible.
Check out this one *authoritative source* in order to document that -- "The Kingdom of the Cults" by Walter Martin --
http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Cults-Walter-Martin/dp/0764228218/
I mean -- just for one kind of "shocker" for some who may not know -- Lucifer (alias "Satan") is said to be Jesus' brother -- no less. Now, *that* is really "Christian" isn't it (from a theology standpoint, no less)??!!
They have "extra-Biblical sources which serve to give them their "cultic theology" -- and it is nothing like the Chrisianity from the Bible, from the Word of God ("God" as in the "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob).
Even the great granddaughter of Brigham Young (along with her husband) has spent a whole lifetime documenting the false and lying nature of the Mormon religion. They have ample materials documenting this too. It would take you a whole lifetime to go through all their materials showing the true "cultic" nature of Mormonism (again in the Christian terminology of the term "cult").
Now, while the "people" may be helpful and useful citizens of the United States and work for some of the same "moral values" (in general, and in politics) -- they are *definitly not* Christian -- in no sense of the word.
Those are the *facts* as it pertains to Christianity and what the Word of God says (and not any "extra-Biblical sources).
