All the Mormons I’ve worked with have been upstanding people.
Their welfare system is very good.
“While our politicians like to battle with each other about the efficiency and future of these programs, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (”the LDS Church” or “Mormons”) has successfully managed a fully funded, non-governmental program for more than 76 years”
Well duh, they require 10 percent of your income pre-tax, pre-any kind of spending on essentials, not to mention all the “volunteer” work they call their people to do in their businesses or other economic ventures.
Unfortunately, for Romney to win the votes of Christians, what will first happen is that conservative writers, radio hosts, columnists, social conservative leaders, all of our talking heads, thinkers, and millions of rank and file conservatives and Christians will be drawn into the largest collection of, the most diverse collection of, the most creative collection of Mormon apologists, in history.
Mormonism will be daily rationalized, ways to smooth over Christian concerns will be thought of and delivered on the air waves, just as Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved already do. Limbaugh and others will fall into a daily routine of countering and defeating Christian protests against Mormonism. New creative thoughts and reasoning will come from National Review, and Fox
The right will be sucked into becoming the foot soldiers of mainstreaming and rationalizing Mormonism.
And how they do beat you over the head with it too.....
Won't get into, and I don't think you really won't to go there...how the D & C is "canonized".
BTW...let's talk about the probable 40-60 BILLION dollars that LDS, Inc. has.
Starman417...why don't you start asking where these monies are...and what is LDS, Inc. doing with them?
They certainly aren't giving 10% away....not even close.
Good article.
Thanks for posting here.
Instead of bashing Mormons, more religious groups need to COPY their model. Instead of just setting up food banks, set up food banks and canneries and farms and require productive action in return for help.
Shouldnt this thread be in the Religion Forum ???
