Helen Radkey is a very important person to the mainstream media. To this point, both MSNBC and CNN have used her expertise to dip their toes in the water about how best to attack Mitt Romney over the issue of his religion (if he becomes the nominee). Radkey has a treasure trove of opposition research waiting for the left to dump on the American people at just the right time. It consists of the names of Holocaust victims, serial killers, notorious tyrants and dictators, fictitious characters, and mass murderers who have all been posthumously baptized into the Mormon religion.
I reached out to Radkey and asked her if she knew of any instances in which deceased Muslims have been baptized into the Mormon faith.
Here is what she said:
“To date, I have a handful of Mormon records that show attempts to baptize Mohammed, and I also have a baptism for a 9/11 hijacker, and copies of entries for 14 others, that show these names were submitted for proxy rites.”
If we've learned anything since 9/11, it's that Muslims are more than just a little hypersensitive about their religion. Seemingly any show of disrespect for either Islam or its prophet Mohammed can be met with deadly violence. Most recently, in Afghanistan, when the U.S. Military was involved in the burning of Islamic materials, to include defaced Qur'ans, deaths have resulted.
How would the Muslim world react if it found out that the Republican nominee for President...

You keep trying to PERSONIZE this.
Have you NOTHING to say about THEOLOGY?
Can you imagine? Thinking God cares if you have a cup of coffee..
- - - - -
When I was Mormon I was told it was either no caffine at ALL, or no coffee or tea at all (including decaf). I went the no caffine route, and only drank 7up or caffine free Pepsi (yuk). However, I got chastised a lot for drinking herbal tea (which has no tea in it) and a few of these people drank Jolt cola and Mt. Dew like there was no tomorrow.
OprahISM lives in their hearts.
(And Rodney KingISM; too.)
Hey, I think Mormons are certifiably nuts, and I used to be one.
I look back and wonder how I could have fallen for all that garbage. My only excuse is I was 16 and ‘in love’. LOL.
Or abortion, or euthanasia, or...
You've seen me on my soap box before ranting about how so many people really believe:
I bet I know more about Mormonism than you do.
You wrap all Mormons up in one neat package.
- - - - - - -
I guarantee I know more about Mormonism than you do, and quite possibly more about Catholicism (PhD in Medieval Church history).
And because of the strictness of their control, it is reasonable to wrap all Mormons in one neat package because it fits.
Been there, done that, got the H*** out.
The comforting thing is that Mittens has no overly sympathetic state left, and he has not made the magic 400 and won't today.
I think a combined Santorum / Gingrich ticket would steamroll Obama and Biden or Clinton or Holder or Pelosi or Reid or...
Maybe you should practice some of your Christian compassion and charity.

Warning them that they are heretical and on the path to hell is showing them Christian compassion and charity.
ALL ‘active’ (church attending) faithful Mormons believe the same things, they have to accept the teachings of their leaders past and present or they face admitting that the entire thing is completely bogus.
There is no such thing as ‘cafeteria Mormonism’. Now, granted some LDS are not aware of the teachings of their past leaders, but when confronted with those teachings they MUST accept them - or deny all of Mormonism. It is just the way that religion works. There is no parallel in Catholicism or Protestantism. That is a big part of what makes them a cult (in the negative sense).
One other thing most people who have never been LDS do not understand is that getting someone out of Mormonism is necessary to get them to become a Christian. You cannot believe in grace of Christ and the sacrifice on the Cross and be Mormon- they are antithetical. First you must make the LDS see that Mormonism isn’t ‘true’, and only once you have extracted them, THEN can you tell them what is right about Christ, the Bible, and Christianity. It is a completely different process than witnessing to other non-believers.
The basics....God used to be a man, Jesus and Satan are brothers, they become gods with their own planets when they die. She didn't really know any of it, and that alone was enough to make up her mind.
Perhaps because I would never looked to other religions I don’t understand the attraction or the fear of another one.
Unless there was the possibility they would fly planes into buildings close to my home.
And I don’t have a PhD but I did do my senior undergraduate thesis on the stature of Mary in the Catholic Church. I got an A.
There are enough that there is an LDS temple in Manhattan.
Like I said, we have had them before. Catholics are the easiest targets for Mormons - I was taught specifically how to go after them when I was training to serve a Mormon mission.
It is baffling to see how many people first announce loudly that they are Catholic, and then proceed to defend Mormonism.

So as long as they didn't drink coffee or tea, they could have soft drinks with caffeine? What was the reasoning behind that?
Anytime. Fighting heresy is one of my biggies. Partly because I used to spread those heresies when I was Mormon.
Does this mean I have to condemn Jews too?
- - —
Last time I checked, Jews weren’t claiming to be Christians.
Did you convert any Catholics on your mission? Or anyone for that matter?
I would have a lot more respect for them as people if they didn’t constantly lie and mislead non Mormons about what they really believe and actually learned to think for themselves.
And, yes, that is true of all of them, with the exception of NEW Mormon converts (less than one year) who haven’t been fully indoctrinated (brainwashed) yet.
Speaking as a former Mormon, I was taught early on not to be completely open and honest about LDS beliefs because we were not to give ‘gentiles’ (non-mormons even Jews) ‘meat’ before they accepted the ‘milk’ (which is full of misused terms and flat out lies) doctrines.
Did you know that Mt.dew has a flame retardant in it? It’s brominated vegetable oil.
I’m never drinking Mt.Dew or any of its variants again.
:(
No joke. Can we burn Oprah at the stake?
