All this Mormon-hating on FR reminds me of all the Freemason-hating we had here a few years ago.

I am sick of it. If people don’t want to vote for Romney then don’t! Just don’t make a big religious issue out of it. We need to put our attention and energy into other things. Debating Mormon doctrine is not one of them, and quite frankly the least of our concerns right now. Last I checked Herman Cain was ahead in the polls so I doubt Romney stands a snowballs chance in hell of winning. In fact several others are ahead of Romney so I am not at all concerned with him or his religion. There are more important fish to fry and this is just a waste of all our time.

Why is it “Mormon-hating” to disagree with Mormon theology? I’m Baptist and I disagree with Mormon theology. It doesn’t mean that I hate Mormons. I disagree with Catholics and Seventh Day Adventists, too. Doesn’t mean I hate them. I don’t believe there is any FReeper who “hates” Mormons.

Well said. A president who puts the Constitution first is more important than one who wears his religion, or lack thereof, on his/her sleeve for votes.

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
SECTION 132
51–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.
51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.
52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.
53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.
54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and acleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be bdestroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.
55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of beternal lives in the eternal worlds.
56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid aforgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to brejoice.
 
 

Whatever HAPPENED to Emma???
 
Eliza was a devout Mormon.
At age 38, she became Joseph Smith's 14th plural wife (in addition to Smith's lawful wife, Emma).
 
In 1842, after learning Eliza was pregnant, Emma Smith beat Eliza with a broomstick and
knocked her down a flight of stairs, causing Eliza to miscarry Smith's baby.
 
Wow!!
 
I guess ol' Emma got VAPORIZED by GOD!!!
 
We know that multiply him thing sure didn't work out!                                       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Joseph_Smith,_Jr.

Either produce one example of mormon hate or shut the hell up.
Yea, I can say that because this is not the religion forum, I grow weary as do others that whiny mormons are forever claiming hate when not one example is shown. Stop playing the victim, it is an ugly color for you.
